the fucking immelman man

it hurts my soul

I don't feel like making things. Motivate me to make things.

>no subject
ya blew it

>>1943838
I would like it if you made things

>>1943839
Well fuck.

I think we'll manage finding it alright.

Great thread guys.

I've been playing RCT1 again and I really want to know what the highest possible excitement rating achievable in the game is. What is the all time world record for excitement of a ride?

Please share ride designs if you have anything outstanding that you think might be the winner.

>>1943856
Without glitches, maybe 13ish?

Why am I conceiving pipe dreams of building backyard coasters? That shit is like twenty or thirty years in the future, if ever.

Still though, personally handmade little dipper woodie. Designed and bent/welded shuttle (complete with catch car system) ultra-twister with a hill and a roll. Surveyed, designed, and built innawoods terrain coaster.

Why arent I careless and affluent to do these things?

>vpack track and scenario amount not updated

>>1943856
I think I got about 13.5 out of a splash boats that I exploited the fuck out of. Several successive max height drops - which, despite being absolutely terrifying and probably unconscious-rendering, yield tons of excitement - coupled with two synchronized dummies and tons of scenery. I posted it some months ago and I could swear I saved it intending to do more work on it, but I cant find the save.

>>1943884
Here's one drop. Shit's goofy. Also, fucking 1mph lift hill.

>>1943856
The highest coaster excitement rating I ever got was like 10.3 or something.
On a related note I recommend you play The Frantic Five if you want to git gud at coaster excitement.
The scenario basically forces you to use every trick in the book.

Is there anything like a list of good actual-park recreations outside of what RCT2 already has? Ive found a few spotted here and there but no comprehensive list I can go by.

>>1944446

>>1943861
I have optimised the design but no screenshot.
>max length station
>upper transition
>4x heartline roll right (don't think direction matters)
>lower transition
>straight chainlift back to station at maximum speed

>>1943856
Well, for one, Giga Coasters are OP as shit.

>>1943969
I wouldn't necessarily say "forces," but you need to be a little smarter with some coasters compared to others, in my case the hypercoaster.

>>1944826
What the hell am I looking at.

Is Lunatim's RCT stuff dead?

>>1945151
That vertical coaster gave me nightmares though. Literally the only way I could get the excitement above 9.50 was by bumping it artificially with 2 other coasters.
Am I just shit at verticals?

>>1945173
I don't have a whole lot of experience with them so I can't really help out. I pretty much stole that quad-looping element from the Blizzard ride in the /v/ pack and shat this out on my first go.

>>1945173
You may be. I remember being able to get them above 9 in RCT1.

>haven't been on a roller coaster in years
>have a dream where I'm riding one
>wake up before we even get past the lift

>>1945316
I haven't either. I think I'ma have to go to Knott's Berry Farm some time in the next year, then to Magic Mountain if my tolerance is adequate.

>>1945151
>What the hell am I looking at.
Some weird normal/inclined loop mix on an inverted coaster

How did I do?

Just completed the scenario, tried to avoid using the back half of the Pier.

First time I have played in a while.

>>1945167
I'm pretty sure I've got all of Lunatim's stuff in the vpack.

Get on my level scrubs

>>1945614
stats on the yellow coaster? i love that looping section

>>1945521
Put the entrance of the log flume closer to the stoplight so the guests don't have to walk down the entire station to get to a boat.

>>1946387
That's neat.

>>1946387
neat

>>1946394
>>1946395
I suck at making double track woodies, though, so I don't know what to do with it. Would also be nice if I could hack the boat lift speed up so that they could actually sync.

>>1946402
Would it wait too long to release boats?

>>1946407
No. It ends up being that the boats go as they please, with their station allowing the woodies to sync.

>>1946412
That's great. I'm going to steam this idea if I can find a place to put it.

>>1946416
I'd recommend elevating the splash boat station so that the entrance/exit doesnt have to be at the far end and using another buffer station for the woodies or manage to sync their pre-lift turns.

>>1946416
>I'm going to steam this idea
That was supposed to be "steal."
I cannot spell.

>>1946387
certified neat

>>1946743

The park was a financial disaster.

So I made a thread about this on /v/ and a mod locked the thread before I could ask:
Is there a way in RCT1 deluxe where you can have a blank slate park with all of the rides/shops/whatever available?

>>1946240
Here it is from a different angle.

>>1946803
>where you can have a blank slate park

Yes, look for a "Workbench" Scenario

>with all of the rides/shops/whatever available
No, since there is only a specific amount of objects to choose.

>>1946816
> tfw no way to fix the fuxking object limit
it's the one thing that rct3 had going for it, a built in sandbox...

>>1945521

>>1947537
the rumors were true all hail based cedar point

>>1947537
So it's just a new set of trains and a new paint job?
As long as it smoothens out the ride, I'm not complaining.

Also:
>blue/orange contrast

>>1947549
I assume they'll refurbish the ride somehow.
I've always wanted to try a floorless coaster out, now I'll get my chance.

>>1947352
>not posting something better of your own
Opinion discarded.

>>1947909
Delicious spaghetti.

I think this is the most excitement I've got out of a woodie in a long time.

>>1947953
So little airtime. Why didnt Chris give us a ∫|lateral g|dt readout?

>>1947985
A what?

>>1947987
Area under the lateral g curve as a measure of "total turning."

>>1947953
>4 minutes ride
>five seconds of airtime
this does not expand dong

>>1948009
>>1947985
It's more of a scenic ride with some action here and there. More hills makes it turn out like this:

>>1948040
christ in a cummerbund

>>1947678
Just got a new PC, and the GPU is borkd and RMA'd. but I will when everything is up and running again.

>>1947678
Also, you posted a pretty generic coaster in this mighty thread, where people are making pretty fucking awesome parks, and told people to "get on your level". Many here had to do worse to "get on your level"

>inb4 HUEHUE UMAD BRO

>>1948072
Well, you do seem a little mad, especially considering the obviously sarcastic nature of my first post. No worry though, it's all cleared up now.

>>1948080
I just felt that you disrespected the great stuff others post here on a regular basis. we good now.

>>1948040
The artificially added hills added there made me think of this. What actual changes does banking a straight do?
A while ago I tried to make a Taxi coaster that used S curves and bankings of straights to be like a car changing lanes, but when I places tiles of bank left -> flat -> bank right, the car just ran straight through and it had no effect on ratings.

>>1948178
Bank transitions seem to have no significant effect on stats.

>>1948040
Wow, I didn't even use a woody. I thought I would get the exact same problem with intensity.

>>1948270

Stop. Use PNG or GIF for palette-restricted games like RollerCoaster Tycoon, please.

Any thoughts before I set to prettying it up?

Apparently MOMd fence-supports don't retain sloping when saved as track scenery, which is unfortunate.

>>1948385
>>1948376
I don't understand what's wrong with jpgs. Does this not look fine to you?

>>1948480
how

>>1948480
The file size it like 20x larger than it has to be because JPEG compression is garbage for low color images. Just use PNG like everyone else does.

>>1948480
Not only is the filesize needlessly large, jpgs also have generation loss and horrible compression artefacts.

>>1948480
>game has 256 colors
>lets compress it with an algorithm that assumes 16.7 million colors
>lets introduce extra colors into the image that make it look funny
>lets introduce cloudy compression artifacts
JPG a shit. You a shit. You a blind shit.

Thoughts? There wasn't much room for more airtime hills or inversions like I wanted, but it works well.

>>1949283
All it needs is some interlocking corkscrews :D

Probably the best ride I ever made.
I wonder if turning the hill going up from just below the exit into something banked would improve it or not.

>>1949702
>Probably the best ride I ever made
I'm sure you can do better than that, anon.

>>1949705
I fucking wish.

>>1949707
Look at real coasters. Use banked spirals. Weave the track about itself. Get track sufficiently adjacent as to create support tunnels.

>>1949707
>>1950025
Most important thing is to avoid straightaways unless theyre airtime hills.

>>1949702
I'm sure you'll get better. That's not too bad for someone who hasn't played long.

It was the only appropriate name.

mods are asleep post spaghetti

>>1950271

>>1949702
...Are you trolling? Pretending to be retarded? Even when I first started, I knew that a layout like that is aesthetically disgusting and unrealistic. You didn't even flatten out your banks on straightaways.

>tfw money is not an objective

>>1950530
This doesn't conform my aesthetic autism

DROPS, WE NEED MORE OF THEM

>>1952098
Nice looking coaster but holy fuck those stats

>>1952098
this would be a good coaster if you just removed some of the launched lift

>>1952098
step it up

>>1951991
It shouldn't. The entire thing was built with very little planning, and it was cobbled together over time. But it is self-sustaining, due to lots of path editing and staff patrols. I'm wondering if I can fill the park before reaching the sprite limit.

Here's an almost fully filled out Big Pier with the coaster I built and stats.

Is there any way you can run multiple scenarios at once?

Someone should make a hack for that.

bumping for rollercoasters

Regular reminder.

>>1953785
; _ ;

>>1953785
This upsets me in ways it shouldn't.

>>1953785
Once OpenRCT gets further along we only need four sprites and a little code to add it.

The explosion of track pieces will be remarkable. NED autismos will be custom making several track pieces per ride.

>>1954287

Also, this.

What, it's only 590 feet tall

>>1955669
>3.28 Excitement
>25.00 Intensity/Nausea

>>1955669
That's 180m. The tallest rollercoaster is 127m and I've been bungee jumping 140m which was pretty tame. It shouldn't be that high in intensity.

>>1955686
Doesn't the Roto-Drop only have brakes at the base?

>>1955669
You should check the stats for if you just place it down and don't make the tower taller at all

That motherfucking caterpillar, i think at least one of the was present in any lunapark of the world.

So I downloaded the deluxe version of RCT1 online a few years ago before these threads but never got around to playing it. I have the original RCT1 and corkscrew folleys, but I didnt have loopy landscapes or the deluxe edition.

I remember when I played Forest Frontiers on my old computer I was able to build a lot of different rollercoasters that I'm missing in this version. I used to be able to, from my memmory:
Have Virginia Reel in forest frontiers
Have Single Rail roller coaster in forest frontiers
Have the option to make my miniature railroad covered in forest frontiers(this one is a little iffy, its been years.)

I also distinctly remember there not being tabs for what expansion you want to play, it was all in the same list. Granted it got confusing as to what was what, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

I just want to play RCT1 with all of the rides in loopy landscapes, corkscrew folleys, and the original open, or at least researchable on a fairly flat park like in Forest Frontiers, just with everything usable.

Does RCT2 have a way you can do this?

>>1957013
Download Crappage's RCT1 pack. Those are the most accurate recreations of those scenarios that exist anywhere, including things like research trees and car types.

>>1957019
But does it allow me to build any ride on a nice flat map?

>>1957031
That's what workbenches are for.

>>1957034
Workbenches? Whats a workbench? Do I need to download a modded version of the game for that?

>>1957037
A workbench is a completely flat, empty scenario with a shitload of scenery and rides enabled from the start.
Here's an example of one I use a lot.
http://www.nedesigns.com/park/2871/xtreme97-workbench-2013/

pic is just something I grabbed off of Google

>>1957042
Does it have all of the Corkscrew/LoopyLandscape rides too? Or just the original ones? How do I use it? Do I just put it in my saved games folder?(if this was already answered I'm sorry)

>>1957043
Nigger the zip file includes a readme

>>1957048
Yeeeeeeah... deleted post, I got what I wanted from some effort on my part. Thank you so very much, though so much money is bleh. I liked having to manage my cash and I felt rewarded for paying off my loan. Maybe I can find a way to throw the money away, perhaps spam lifting and lowing the ground.

my 2 best compact coasters

>>1957031
You could either use a workbench or just the rollercoaster designer in RCT2

>>1957037
Allow me to help explain this. RCT2 has a scenario creation tool. All of the RCT1 scenarios have been remade in RCT2 using this tool, although some maps cannot be duplicated perfectly.
There's also a lot of custom maps floating around, including many sandbox-type maps. Some people like to call these "workbenches."
Also, some of the remade RCT1 maps in RCT2 have rides that aren't available in their RCT1 version, such as the Virginia Reel in Forest Frontiers.

>>1954795
Proper 180 degree Immelmann/dive loop pieces would be appreciated as well.

>>1954287
Wouldn't they just perfectly recreate real rides, and plop that down as a single piece?

>>1954287
But who will make all the required car animations for these elaborate new track pieces?

>>1957676
I would assume Chris implemented it as a table of sprite addresses at given track positions. The sprites already exist, so all that needs to be done is make the four track sprites and the table.

>>1958585
>>1958587
Theyre about the same as corkscrews for whatever reason. Just have to be satisfied with lackluster excitement when you go for one.

I quite like their quarter helix pieces, though.

>>1958585
I don't have a file for this anymore but I've always been a little proud of myself for the trackitecture at the station.

gigas are so fucking broken

I'm making my own scenario, and I cant figure out for the life of me how to put rides in the scenario editor

Why are corkscrew coasters so shit?

>>1960325
if you'd ever been on one irl, you'd know

>>1960319
The scenario editor has no ride construction. If you want rides, play the scenario, build the rides, then save and convert the save game to a scenario.

>>1960327
It's just such a chore getting the excitement above 7.00 without it feeling unrealistic or forced. Definitely my least favourite coaster in RCT.

>>1960325
That's still a decent ride.

>>1960254
>double paths

>>1960385
>implying you can't double paths in RCT2

>>1960338
So don't exert on that chore. Loopscrews and such are fairly simple rides. The extreme coasters are with modern track designs that allow them to support more intensity. Arrow made coasters with no more than four inversions, not the 8-12 of "extreme" rides.

I don't get why people are so obsessed with getting really high excitement ratings out of coasters in RCT. I typically aim for 6-7, maybe 8-9 for a twister/giga/hyper.

I'm making my first scenario, Americaland.
Thoughts on it so far? What should I add? How does the goal look? I'm pretty new to RCT, i just used to play it loads as a kid. Any ideas for settings for the peeps? Only thing i really changed was giving them a bit more money and set their hunger to like 70%

>>1960479
It'd look better with some landscaping so it's not just a flat green piece of land

>>1960479
>FUCK YOU
>NO TERRORISTS

>>1960482
Alright, the place is pretty huge, but i have some fun stuff to work with, so i'll see what i can do. I'll try to add some hills here and there and make interesting stuff with scenery

>>1960479
>Year 8

Jesus fuck. No scenario should take over 3 years unless it has no time limit.

>>1960387
I think he's trying to say that it adds a lot to the excitement rating.
Regardless, I agree, gigas are insane when it comes to excitement:intensity ratios.

>>1960430
you dont understand why people want to do their best? find out just how far they can push their skills, and get high excitement ratings on shit coaster types? its fun

>>1960479

as an american i like the burgers, but im confused as to why your paths are so narrow.

Is it a one way path? once the patriot gets his burger, he cant just turn around and walk down the path past the other patriots, there wont be any room!

clearly you need to add some freedom to your path layout.

make them wider, cmon, all you had to do was make the paths 3 wide and you could have won my heart

>wanting his guests to loop in circles

>>1960602
I was directing that at people with similar sentiments as the guy I replied to. Being frustrated with weak stats is clearly not consistent with a person trying to min/max a coaster.

>>1960638
fair enough. i took your post to mean something else. let me buy you a drink

>>1960479
god damn op 8 years is a lot.

Hmm, add a fuckton of indian scenery right outside your boundaries. That way you'll have to take land from the indians when you expand

Have some mountains and desert. Like you're going east to west

>>1960764
Should make the land purchasing cheap, and have swaths somehow themed to be french and mexican.

>>1960810
>>1960764
good ideas here. I'll mess with the objectives and deadline later once i play it and know whats reasonable.
Right now i'm just adding random setpeices to make the land not boring.
Right now the land is set to 50$ per square, that any cheap?

Does anyone have any self-imposed challenges for when you play RCT? We all know how easy it is to scam our way to victory, so what are some things we can do to make things a little more balanced?

>>1962982
I try to avoid using jew karts
But some scenarios were meant to be broken.

>>1962982
I try not to use scam coasters and launched rides in general but goddamn they print money.

>>1962982
No prebuilts. Realistic station times (ride time of 90s+ with two trains instead of packing in four via meticulous block sectioning) for non-ridiculous throughput. Build complete area of park at once before opening to guests, always with something new and exciting (ie freshly researched roller coaster).

>>1962982
Fuck that.

If you can use it, abuse it.

>>1963162
I try some of this, but like I experienced with RTS and GS games, once you learn to go fast, you don't slow down.

I can't help it, every scenario except ones you can't touch landscaping or are severely limited by rides I play like running an 8pool into early expand and MutaBane.

I usually go back to TBS where I can enjoy the slowness.

>>1963162
>tfw I only use prebuilts in scenarios with money

>>1963162
>>1963483
If I use prebuilts, I make it a point to only use my own. I got a couple scamcoasters up my sleeve or guidelines for specific coaster types to make them viable when money is low. Although, in situations like Mothnall Mountain, this still won't save you. Just gotta wait for them scam karts.

>>1962982
For scenarios with unlimited time I like to go slow with nice scenery.
Pic related. Will continue when done with autism collab. I think I can get to 10 coasters while keeping it nice looking.

>>1963653
>I think I can get to 10 coasters while keeping it nice looking
I didn't quite manage.

>>1962982

I try fixing the problems that make guests angry instead of hiring security guards to keep their anger in check. Ends up being cheaper than paying $60/month/guard.

>>1963773
i had a park running for over 5 years. didn't hire a single security guard. never had any vandalism problems, except for a few accidental guest trappings and missing spots for handymen cleaning, once i noticed i fixed the area and everything was ok afterwards as long as guests are happy you shouldn't have problems. just do a path scan every so often to check for a random broken bench or two.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1548960623/parkitect

so i payed the 15 bucks to back this game. but as i look at it more it just seems like a RCT2 clone, i dont like the graphics too much. i hope they do some cool stuff with scenery. im very optimistic though

>>1963813
It's not like anyone wants anything but an RCT2 clone, right?
Plus, it comes with some extra stuff like behind-the-scenes and completely custom rides, apparently.

>>1963813
I'm gonna buy this and mess around with it too.
At the very worst, if it takes off I can see it becoming heavily modded.

I think Twisters are my all-round favourite coaster. They take some thought to make good and you can really mess around with the wide variety of track pieces in creative ways.

>>1963813
Didn't back it, but I'll buy the fuck out of it when it's released.

>>1961953
Intamin finds a way

>>1962982
Try to build realistically, sometimes work in a time specific setting.

I found it's actually more challenging to build a pre-1975 style park because prior to then there were no looping coasters aside from the hackjobs built in the early 1900s.

>>1964208
I'd like to see more scenarios like that, actually. The only problem with chronological research trees is that research takes a long time.

>>1963813
i meant to say im NOT very optimistic. the bulk of the money for the games development is going towards living expenses for the developers. i really dont think it will have any thing better to offer than RCT2 but. one thing i noticed was an increased degree of track banking. but the coasters shown in their videos look no different than RCT2. so i dont know. whatever i guess it might be fun to mess around with for a while.

What i want in a new RCT game is a no limits like coaster design but with park management aspects thrown in. and of course flat rides, food stalls etc. but i want to see a shift from the cartoony aspect to a more realistic look i.e. pizza stalls not looking like slices of pizza.

i havent played no limits but ive seen some youtube stuff. if they could make a more intuitive/simple building system for beginners while still keeping advanced features for experienced players that would be awesome

>>1965563
> the bulk of the money for the games development is going towards living expenses for the developers
Also known as their salary so they can work on this full time?
I mean, what do you expect them to do with this money...? Buy pre-written code? Premade assets?

>>1965752
Well, when you put it like that, of course they're getting paid to work.

>>1965563
Outside of paying for licenses for any prebuilt frameworks you're making the game off of (Unity, UE4, etc.) there is ZERO necessary money investment for games development. The money you're giving to the Kickstarter is to fund the man-hours necessary for the development instead of leaving the devs to be forced to do it in their off-time.

>>1965563
They don't look very good at creating coasters, or at least they havn't really tried to make a good one.
I'm just hoping that overbanked turns are a thing with this.

Do you guys like this vertical I made? Or is it too messy and shitty landscaping?

I did a little bit of rummaging and there's an interactive trailer of Parkitect available. Found at http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=709a5259c0e6f152e839dc6c5f2cdee4&topic=39904.380

It lets you pan around and rotate while everything goes about its business, but it's something.
I'm cautiously optimistic but most KS projects are meh in the end.

>>1966202
It's pretty neat. I think you could improve it by making a more cohesive landscape instead of just random 2x2 pillars every so often so there's less of those giant black walls on the screen

>>1966231
I'm waiting until I see some more progress before I start getting optimistic, but it seems like it has a pretty solid start

>>1966202
>5.59g
Other than that, I like the design.

>>1943918
Top fucking lel
>>1966256
yeah... too bad that awesome landscaping tool from the scenario editor isn't available when playing.... I mainly just use pillars to wrap shit around and make it look kinda monolithic, but it always feels lacking...

>>1966263
8cars has the ability to use the mountain tool in game

Any Volcania fans out there? The park's perceived difficulty scared the hell out of my 10 year-old self, but I finally took the time to give it a go, only 13 short years later :^)

>>1965313
That it does, but in a way if you don't have the rides available to you from the get-go it isn't so bad. I find it harder to build a period-style park if I have all rides available because of the temptation to put in rides that haven't existed for that period.

>>1966261
I'm not sure any Dive Machines hit that amount but Mindbender at Edmonton Mall hits around 6 positive Gs and Olympia Looping a few ticks below, so it's not out of the ordinary.

I can't seem to download anything from anonfiles on the /vr/ct site, can anyone host the 4chan scenerios and official rct2 addons on mega?

Same. While there have been a lot of good kickstarts finally being completed and coming out the ones that fail fail HARD.

However even in the current state this looks fun. I'm really happy it got funded and I really hope for the best.

Did some working on the no borders collab.
I plan to ad some aeging and rust to that building.

Here's a quick Woodie I made in 5 minutes. Turned out being the best Woodie I ever made, ironically.

>>1971175
Post stats nigger

>>1971180
Sorry forgot stats, here you go.

>>1971190
Not bad. Intensity is a bit high for that excitement rating though. I generally go for Excitement > Intensity > Nausea.

>>1971190

what does vrtc think of muh ride

>>1972303
I think it's gonna be difficult to make this look good and inversions look somewhat uncomfortable and stats?

>>1972303
no stats, no service.

Does anyone here record videos for RCT? I'm having a hard time trying to find some software that records footage well enough.

>>1972478
hardware recorder box

>>1972504
Anything for free then?

>>1972524
Anything that can record a window.
Open Broadcaster Software works, it's free

I love the "build X coasters with a minimum rating of Y" scenarios. Can anybody recommend a particularly challenging one I might not have tried?

>>1973178
Dunno if you've tried it yet, but Mountain Ranges involves building them at an obscene length.

>>1973178
Chrome Dome is correct. Mountain Ranges is a fun challenge.

How do I into the shitty asian scenario with the Great Wall of China?

>>1973241
Damn RCT2 needs 1's terrain textures

>>1973532
Monorails and frequent pausing to check if people are getting stuck, then tons of paths

The happiness requirement is so heavily tied to guests are getting lost or stuck in a crowded area.

>>1973552
This so goddamm much. That's pretty much the one thing I legit miss in RCT2.

ShekelNexus 2.0

>>1973729
Oh come on $40,000 is plenty enough
You've going for overjew now

>>1973729
I wonder if there's a way to make a single ride that looks like a ShekelNexus

>>1973736
By my calculations I need about 40-50k for each of the 9 required 10,500ft coasters. I ain't done by a long shot :^)

>>1973729
>U-U-U-U-ULTRA JEW has broken down

>>1973729
Placing too many of the same ride close to each other lowers the popularity of all of them. You can have as many scam karts and money makers as you want but a single high excitement ride will always beat it.

Jesus this could take a while.

>>1973859
>You can have as many scam karts and money makers as you want but a single high excitement ride will always beat it
The ShekelNexus exists for no other purpose than to generate money. As long as it is fed a steady stream of goyim I don't care about the rides' popularity.

>>1973874
Just keep an eye on it that it isn't costing you money.

>>1973874
Well, good luck.

Why ARE karts so popular, exactly?

>>1973890
Have you ever been to a go-kart track? That shit is fun.

You have unlimited money anyway you dunce

>>1974080
shhhh, he is just trying to fit in

>>1973874
We actually talked about this earlier in the thread, more air time for woodies that long doesn't exactly mean higher ratings.

>>1974054
Should build more of that queue line you cunt.

>>1973874

you guys have some guts

You are free to try my scenario I posted here before. I've beaten it exactly once, then lowered the requirements a little if I remember rightly.

>>1974368
Thanks anon, will try later today.

2 down 7 to go. And fuck long woodies.

I understand it's a woodie but we talked about this.

>>1975070
That's Mountain Ranges.

Until I have an awesome idea for a collab or scenario or some other project to get my teeth into, I'm just gonna post coasters I made and am proud of.

Here's a floorless. You LIKE this shit?

>>1975234
Shit's tight, yo. I like that woodie too.

>>1975234
>turn in the middle of the chain lift

>>1975234
>Until I have an awesome idea for a collab or scenario
You could try the one I've been meaning to do for months but never get around to:
Make a scenario with no money and an aesthetically pleasing landscape with 5 (10?) partially completed rollercoasters that look good and mesh well with the landscape but are only missing one piece. Make sure they're almost 1 excitement short of the target when completed (for example, if the target is 7.20 try to have them around 6.40 to 6.50 when completed)

Basically, rather than building the rollercoasters the player has to make the park around them look good with scenery. The aim would be to make the best looking park and have the scenery raise the excitement to the required amount.

>>1975325
It's a fun idea... but it can be exploited by making, for instance, a train or a path and weaving it through all 5 coasters. Excitement tends to get boosted fairly little by scenery (and it has a cap) and interaction with paths/rides usually bumps it up a full point or so.

I'm working on a scenario called Flatland where I make it flat and allow no landscaping, and no high rides. Might make it a "make 5 rollercoasters" with certain specs, or just ride tickets objective or something... Would anyone enjoy playing that?

>>1975423
Well yeah obviously it can be exploited and completed in two minutes, but that's not the point of the scenario, the point is to make it look good them post the results here for others to see.

Would you, /rctg/?

>>1975548
that nigga's crazy

This is the opposite of fun. Conventional coaster building rules don't seem to apply at these ride lengths.

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/theme-park-carnage-lightwater-valley-4345821?ICID=FB_mirror_main
Discuss.

>>1975548
It looks like one wrong jolt away from breaking your ankles and/or legs.

Make it a four-point "kart" instead of the "roller skates" configuration, and then I'd consider it.

>>1975560
Sounds like all the lawsuits will cost them deerly

Holy shit, I actually finished it.

>>1975586
Thanks for helping with the pain.

>>1975554

>>1975554

>>1975659
Maybe I'm just shit at life. Maybe my years of playing this fucking game have had no effect on my capacity to analyze or interpret data whatsoever. Am I retarded? Do I have a learning disability I'm not aware of? I've just about had it with this shit. I'm not sure I care about anything any more.

>>1975686
Take out your inversions and you should be sweet.

>>1975668
Lel, when I saw that and was wating for the ratings to calculate, I was like: oh shit this is gonna be 13 intensity for sure....
>>1975686
Don't say that. Just try again tomorrow and play something you're less perfectionistic about for a while maybe

I love OpenRCT2. My regular disc for RCT2 never worked on Win 7, plus it's got some amazing ideas for future versions.

Out of curiosity is there a way to identify what ride/attraction.scenery is added by a certain .dat file? I have a few duplicate rides/attractions I downloaded on accident from another site and I'd love to remove them.

>all these arbitrary fucking limitations on what various coaster types can do

>>1975754
>arbitrary
What do you mean?

>>1975776
>air launched coasters can't have small or large turns or non-vertical hills
>no vertical drops for giga coasters
>wooden coasters and LIM coasters can't do smooth transitions from steep drops to level

There has to be a better way than intentionally making the track flat and uninteresting.

>>1975843
I could offer up my file if you'd like an example.

>>1975847
That would be much appreciated.

>>1975856
https://www.dropbox.com/s/bmek6n1mghov4nt/Mountain%20Ranges%20Win%20After1.SV6?dl=0

>>1975726
Select both stalls, start a scenario with them (just a junky one), open ParkDat, and see what the two .dat files are for the stalls. Compare that to a clean install to see which .dat you should keep (the default) and which you can delete (the one you downloaded). Let me know if this works because I think I've had this problem in the past

Ghost Town complete.

>>1975726
I think it's called RCT2 DatChecker.
I used it before to toss out some unwanted items too.

>>1976145
>those bank transitions on the hyper twister
>the bank into the twists on the inverted coaster

>>1975726
I have this too. I can't unselect them both, and if I do select them both it somehow only counts as one. Also one of them has a buggy image when selecting.

>>1975786
I really fucking hope modders will put effort in fixing those things in OpenRCT, but I'm afraid that would require new sprites.

>>1976887
>would require new sprites
That shouldn't be the problem.
I'd do it for a dollar unless someone does it for free.

Come the fuck on, this is getting ridiculous

>May, year 3

>>1977128
Here's my final layout if you need inspiration. I've found less steep drops and minimal inversions are best.

>>1977131
It's improving, but turning into a right mess in the process...

>>1977170
You could probably scenery buff it from there, that's what I had to do.

Prove you can build a better Goyim Machine.
Protip: you can't.

I'm a relative newfag when it comes to RCT.

Is borrowing from the bank recommended? How much if so, max? Does it really hurt in the long run?

>>1978018
>no block brakes
>only two trains
it's an inefficient death trap

0/10 would not gouge with

>>1978019
It's sometimes necessary. It's not as hard to pay off as you'd think, and the only negative thing to come out of borrowing is your company value lowers and you pay interest.

>>1978019
Only borrow as much as you need. If you have any extra after you're done, give it back to the bank. That Loan Interest can catch up to you if you're not careful.

Expanding quickly is a good idea because it raises your Park Value, and that is the #1 attraction for Guests. But don't expand too quickly, make sure everything in your Park is perfected as it is and won't cause problems if you leave it alone for a while.

>>1976305
Fixed those. Can't believe I didn't catch that weird bend in the bank there...must have been in a hurry or something.

>>1978023
Fixed but fuck you Anon, this one can't be timed properly for block brakes.

>>1978049
Awful. The only reason your excitement is that high is because it's a hyper twister. Repeat that same layout with another design type and it won't be anywhere near as good.

>>1978049
>Station Brake Failure never happens in RCT2 anyway
You're setting yourself up for a rude surprise.

>>1978093
I've been playing RCT2 for the better time of 10 years, never had even one. Inspect every 10 minutes m8?

>>1978112
That's like saying shinies in Pokemon don't exist because you haven't seen one in the better time of 10 years. Yeah, SBF rarely happens in RCT2 but it still does and still sucks just as much.

>>1978160
It was actually quite a common problem with the collab parks.

>>1978165
Not my fault you guys design such shitty rides :^)
