First for where the FUCK do I find my pictures for RCT2?

>>1985596
Literally in the game's install directory.

>>1985596
Right click on the icon and click "Open file directory".
Then you need to convert them into .png because they're saved as .bmps for some reason.
Either .png or .gif. Both work exceptionally well for quality.

>>1985614

Somebody fucking please put this in the OP next thread


Anyway,
1. Am I a scrub for playing on Build Your Own Six Flags Park?

2. r8 my entrance

>>1985850
1. No, but Workbenchland is better
2. 7/10 I like it, especially the monorail, and I like the "realistic" feel to it. Not a fan of the red though, nor the chess tile floors, unless yu can take it somewhere nice with the environment.

>>1985850
1. Yes, make your own scenario, scrublord.
2. 2red4me

>>1985850
Not a bad start. Lower the water/fountain into the ground because as it is, from the peeps' perspective all they can see is a brick wall. I like the building but the red is a bit of an eyesore (same with the checkered ground everywhere).

I was going through my old hard drive and found this track I made a few years back. The stats aren't the best but I love how it fits so much into a small area. Now that B&M is making a launched coaster I'd love to see them do something like this.

>>1985850
get some windows around that info building, it looks mean

>>1985850
The station on the monorail is pretty cool. The fountain should be sunk into the ground, not raised. Otherwise, it's a good start.
Make your own Six Flags is sort of shit because it's pay to enter, but you don't have to worry about that, now do you?

Guest limit appears to be 9,601.
Also as you can see, artifacts begin to appear and frame rate becomes a shit.

>>1986257
Now delete the paths

>>1986276
>tfw I deleted the paths and 75% guests somehow got out through the entrance

Would you ride, /vr/ct?

>>1986295

>4 Cheap Goyim Machines
>300 guests

Wat.

Based Chris Sawyer pls fix.

How does it look?

Also the patch of blue and white flowers had an Info Kiosk under the fountain.

>>1986371
That's a pretty kickass park.

>>1986371
10/10 would visit and be good goyim.

>>1985871
>>1985878
>>1985887
>>1986116

I fixed the fountain and shitty floor and dropped the red theme.

Also added a huge bathroom building, an ATM building, and some trees around it which are probably going to get deleted with something else

pic related is one side

>>1986053
As mean as it looks without windows, I can't do anything about because the monorail station

>>1986415
other side with fatass bathroom building

>>1986371
>tunnels under the fountain
neat

>>1986380
>>1986402
You guys mind if I post regular updates of the park? I'm going to try to fill up the entire park with rides and scenery (pic related) and I figured I could fill you guys in on the progress.

>>1986415
>>1986416
Holy shit that looks really good.
I'm also digging the new monorail station.

>>1986418
Go ahead. This is a RCT thread, after all.

>>1986416
Also made a significantly worse Woodie based on what BlueBalled did in the last thread

>>1986418
Probably going to start updating on my park this Friday. Got shit to do on the weekdays, not enough time to work on it.

>>1986424
Thanks, anon

Now, if only I knew what I'm going to do with the rest of the park

Also, just because everyone loves Six Flags...

>>1986440
Is there a trick to two-wide paths I'm just not getting? Every time I do that, I find myself having to place a lot more stalls and bathrooms down because the fucking dumbass guests don't path to things correctly.

>>1986471
Are you playing RCT1? Because guests in RCT1 cannot deal with double paths.

>>1986471
If you're playing RCT1 then yeah, the guests are clueless. This was fixed in RCT2 though.

>>1986474
I'm on RCT2 and I still have that problem.

>>1986476
How?

>>1986476
Another problem might be ramps. Guests don't do double-wide rams well.

You can only do so much when Go-Kart tracks occupy the entire block.
Seriously, why? I wanted a hedgemaze Go-Kart track, god fucking damnit.

>>1986630
> go kart tracks, river rapids, ALL stations and all stalls occupy the entire block
Jesus monkey-fucking christ, this has got to be my biggest annoyance. Fix pls.

>>1986727
Maybe OpenRCT2 will fix it in 3 years?

>>1986295
>>1986301
You would have to make me incredibly filthy rich plus give me something that grants 3 wishes with no limits and no strings attached to ride any one of them.

Otherwise, NOPE.

Does the RCT2 double path fix merely prevent guests from random-walking side to side, or does it allow them to treat it as a single path, including their detection of stalls and entrances attached to the side of it they are not walking on?

Requesting more Escher-tier designs for my autism.

Only a matter of time before you have a station brakes failure

Do Handymen ever empty litter bins? It says they can but I've never seen them do it. And if you assign them to mow lawns, that's ALL they ever do. And what do Security Guards really do beyond making sure benches don't get broken? How many do you even need to ensure the park is safe? Is one not enough?

Fucking Sawyer, I swear he only puts this shit in the game to make it feel more innovative.

I'm just getting into RCT2, I played it a bit almost 10 years ago, but you guys really inspired me. I'm trying to play through some of the campaigns, and Big Pier is giving me trouble. Is there anyway I can build rides with the entrance on the same level as the boardwalk, or is it always gonna just fucking sit on the water, and I have to make paths down to it? I've been able to gimmick the stalls by putting paths on top of the water, and the stalls seem to magically float in the air at the proper height when built on a path, but is there a legit way to do this?

>>1987341
Keep shift pressed. Works with everything that can be mouse placed.

>>1987345

Thank you sir!

Also, how do you guys go about building parks for campaigns and stuff? I've been just throwing out a few premade coasters at the start just to generate some income, and I try to start saving to build an awesome custom coaster, but it seems like I never manage to complete it by the time the deadline is up. I kind of want to just go into Arid Heights and make a shitton of coaster designs and save them for use in campaigns.

>>1986836
Afaik guests prefer to keep moving in the direction they're going rather than totally random walking.

>>1987341
Also, once you have pieces of scenery built at a higher altidude than on the ground, instead of holding shift and trying to line up another wall with it, hover your cursor over that particular piece of scenery and hold Crtl. The scenery you now place will be at the same exact height of that initial piece of scenery.

>>1987303
Security guards stop vandalism in their area.
Litter bins are sort of glitched in RCT2. In some parks, they fill up, in others, they don't.

>>1987532
Over 10 years of playing the game I can conclude that litter bins only fill up in crowded areas or food courts. If rubbish is placed in a bin and no one else uses it for a time, the counter until it is 'full' is reset. I guess it decomposes or something.

Don't quote me on this. I've never tested it.

>>1987832
Fuck you!

-Anonymous

>>1987832
I don't think so. I was playing Fungus Woods a week ago and the bins were filling up everywhere, then when I played a sandbox park for 10 in-game years, not a single handyman had emptied a bin.

It's inconsistent.

Alright, how the fuck do I make a scenario with the "Make 10 coasters at a minimum length" objective? I'm converting save files into scenarios and it's still not giving me the option.

>>1988719
New scenarios from scratch have different options from convert from saved game ones.

>>1988732
But when converting saved games, do certain objectives depend on the existing objective on the saved game you're converting?

>>1988738
Existing objectives are irrelevant.

The only exception is the finish 5 coasters objectives, where you have to have 5 coasters already in the park and has to be from a saved game conversion.

>>1988749
Then why is the "Make 10 coasters at a minimum length" objective not showing up?

>>1988763
Could it be that there has to be 10 rollercoasters ready to build instead of in the research pool?

>>1988771
No, this is not the case because Ghost Town only has 5 coasters available.
Someone save me from my retardation.

Hey RCT guys and girls, Just wanted to show you my park so far. Its STILL a work in progress. Half of the park is nothing but this is what I have so far. Keep in mind I SUCK at buildings..Or I just have no time for it and would rather build coasters..Pick two. Anyway my coasters are named after old coin op and obscure Atari 2600 video games. And here we go.

First is Venture with its two buildings..took forever..Venture was an old coin op game where you went from room to room fighting monsters with a bow and arrow. And yes I see the spots where I need to fill in with the walls..now

Comments appreciated

This is Venture with the Scenery hidden. I put two Interlocking loops in the buildings. Neat huh

>>1988838
>10.40 Excitement
>steel looping coaster

This is my Woodie Frenzy. Im kinda surprised on how high I got the excitement. Its a real crowd pleaser.

Frenzy was the squeal to the very popular game Bezerk. I enjoyed it more..It was...strange at times

>>1988846
Please use .png and not .jpg

>>1988846
How the fuck.

This is Vanguard..My Hyper..Kinda disappointing on the excitement..should be higher since it goes thru Frenzy. But ran out of room on that side to make tunnels and such..But peeps really dig it

Vanguard was an old Atari 2600 game..I was thinking of another when I named it..Oh shit Zaxxon..dammit that's what I wanted to name it

>>1988802
OK, I figured it out.

It has to be a saved game convert from a scenario with money as no objective. Then when you have that set, save it again and convert that save to a scenario with money, if you so choose to.

This is Tutankhamen..I really like building spiral coasters they are fun..And very forgiving on speedy banked turns..You can do anything with them and get a 8++ Excitement and a low Nausea

Tutankhamen was an old Atari 2600 game don't remember much about it

And we have Scramble..Ugh Spaghetti..I really did not mean for it to turn out this way. I might go back and demolish it and start over..Peeps dont like it much ether..But hey its for you Spaghetti fans out there.

Scramble was a coin op that made it to many platforms..I had it on the Victrex when I was like 7 or so

And lastly we have Crystal Castles..A kiddie coaster. I like building these got get peeps braver for the more extreme rides like Frenzy. If you put some kinda exciting rides around your monster coasters peeps will want to ride them.

Crystal Castles as a old Atari coin op..I should put a castles or building in there..And yes I KNOW I suck at buildings and a piece is missing on the Venture building. I kinda want to go back and cover up my flat rides. Would be good practice..Anyway thanks for viewing and will post more when done with the second half of my park

As a bonus this is my attempt at a four interlocking loop tower. Was going to make it into a huge tower with and eye and fire and call it 'The Eye of Sauron" With it plunging into Mount Doom on the first drop..But I could not keep the Intensity and Nausea down to acceptable levels and the excitement was not to my liking..I might come back to it.

>>1988881
>No block brakes
>Anywhere
>On anything

"Hey guys why do my coasters keep crashing?"

>>1988886
A continuous circuit design will gain a small amount of excitement over a block section design, so it makes sense if you want to maximize the excitement like this anon is doing.

I still wouldn't do it myself, though.

>>1988893
I think you're bluffing. Show me proof.

>>1988901
not exactly a difficult concept

no brakes=higher average speed=higher excitement
block brakes=slower average speed=lower excitement

it's similar to the chain lift speed excitement boost

>>1988886
>>1988893
I really don't like block breaks and avoid them since they reduce Excitement. I'm more of a Mellinum Force type. I just let the coasters peter out so when they get to the stations they are going about 20 MPH so they don't crash when there is a Brake Failure. On the other hand it would reduce my Spaghetti problem and make for some more realistic looking coasters. And much less excessive and expensive ones too. Point taken..And you might see that advice on future coasters

>>1988901
Sure.

>>1988907
What if the only block brakes are at the station?

>>1988910
Different ride times will equal different stats.

>>1988908

They make barely any difference to excitement. And Millennium Force is
a) a lot shorter than your coaster so having only one train going around at once is feasible and, and
b) has at least one set of block brakes right before the station.

>>1988908
The benefits to block sectioning outweigh the negatives, in my experience. With continuous circuit, you can only fit as many trains as will fit in the station, while a block section ride can have as many as you can work in. I find that the efficiency and safety is better to have than the excitement boost.

Drawbacks with block sectioning are, as stated, the excitement decrease. It's also a different challenge to make a block section ride... you can't just slap down a brake run anywhere and call it a day. It can be a bit difficult to get the hang of.

An efficient block sectioned ride shouldn't have trains stopping at every section.

>>1988915
You're welcome to try and get an identical ride time for both a continuous circuit and block sectioned ride.

>>1988916

Just checked, it has 2 sets of block brakes on the bit before the station.

>>1988854
I can't believe that fucking worked. Why do I need to do that?
Anyway, thank you. Trying to make a difficult scenario involving minimum rollercoaster lengths.

>>1988916
Yeah, I always have an issue when I use Block Breaks as far as it will hold a train at the lift hill while it waits for the other train to complete the circuit. I like having the flow of the trains non stop to get more peeps on the ride. I only use them when I want more trains like the Hypercoaster or Gigia..I have them on Vanguard to have 3 trains but had to tweak the crap out of it so it would not stop on the lift hill..Ill just use regular breaks if I need to slow the train down

>>1988886
> sucking block brakes' dick this hard
Block brakes are incredibly annoying to integrate into your coaster and make everything unnecessarily janky. Most of the time I don't bother with them. Inspecting every 10 minutes and making sure you have some normal brakes and helices leading up to your station, along with minimum wait times, are often a better solution imo. I'd hate to mess up the flow of a great coaster I just built just so it's 'safer'. Coasters are meant to feel dangerous.

>>1988931

Then you need to space them out better. It's sometimes also good reducing the number of trains below the maximum if you have a bunch of block sections. I tend to have 2 sets before the station, the station, the lift hill and one mid-track, which gives me 5 sections, and run 3 trains on them. If trains are constantly being held atop the lift hill, increase the minimum wait time in the station.

Like BlueBalled said, it takes some practice but it's possible to get them to work really well.

>>1988931
It works better in real life because train loading/unloading isn't as fast as it is in RCT. Ride attendants will come by and check restraints and shit. Trains rarely, if ever, leave the station as fast, meaning IRL coasters can get away with not having mid-section brake runs.

By the way, are the collab parks still happening? I had a shitload of fun with them last year and I have a bit more time again as I work a job with humane hours now.

>>1988937
Oh hey, I remember that one.
The Google document is still there, so feel free to whip up a new file if you want. Just be sure to post about it ITT.

>>1988921
NVM the last post I think ive finally figured out block breaks..If I put one at the middle of the ride and time it right I can keep the flow going and have more trains. I would always put them at the end of the ride. But one strategically put can reduce a long station and still have a nice amount of trains and keep the spaghetti low and not cost so much. And take up less space. Thanks mate!

>>1988946
if you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

>>1988921
Shows what you know.

Also 3 trains instead of 2. More money for the master race I guess.

>>1988948
Good luck making that a viable ride.

>>1988910
If you're maximizing Excitement, sure I guess, but the lack of brakes seems to also effect Nausea and Intensity more than it does Excitement.

>>1988954
The game ignores all g-forces resulting from acceleration and deceleration. You can have a 200mph train hit the brakes and slow to 4mph in less than a second and no one would care.

>>1988962
>tfw game also ignores 4D coaster seat rotation

>>1988953
Changed the design. Looks like block brakes are the way to go after all.

>>1988947
Cool will do..I might need a building tutorial because I kinda want to enclose some of my flat rides and eateries and make them not look stupid.

But now I think im going to rebuild Vanguard with a block break in the middle so I can have two trains on the circuit. But keeping that bit of track that goes thru Frenzy..I don't know how the hell I got away with that lol Deffanlty going to rebuild scramble from scratch

>>1988969
Did you just accidentally create a new Goyim Machine design?

>>1988941

Not if it takes a year before someone else gets on it. And considering the Google doc is still in basically the same state as it was a year ago (including oxiclean ball and scj's kamikaze comment), I don't think much is happening there...

>>1988969
DUDE..Ha..Dammit I have to go to bed!..Dont make me open up RCT2 and start experimenting! I think I have seen the light on Block Breaks.

Just when I thought I knew everything about building coasters....

>>1988969

>>1988969

I currently have a difficult scenario idea in the works and I want to see what you guys think of it.

The objective is to have 10 coasters in your park at least 5,000~ feet long with an excitement rating of at least 7.00. I wanted to make all of the coasters you have at the start of the park either be expensive to make, hard to make, or generate very low income, or a combination of the 3. The coasters you will research, over time, will increasingly get easier and cheaper to make. I'm not sure how long that will take or if it's easily cheesable. Might be.

On top of that, generating income at the start will be a bit of a task, seeing how you'll be restricted to only gentle rides until you research more rides (The thrill rides in the research list come before the coasters).

You're able to buy land anywhere that isn't part of the park, but at $140 a pop. This will end up being necessary to be able to have enough space for the length of rollercoasters you need to make. Pic Related, it's the space you have.

Does it seem decent, or is it unplayable from the get-go?

>>1989016
Seems a bit small for 10 x 5000ft. But maybe that can be the challenge.

>>1988853
> stacked coliseums

>>1989025
I thought that at the very least, it'd make for some very delicious spaghetti.

>>1986295

>>1989016
>The thrill rides in the research list come before the coasters
I think research filtering might get in the way.

>>1988969
nice shop

>>1988969
I'm liking this

>>1988969
pls

>>1989235
I'll try doing this to see if it's even possible to get enough money without the Thrill Rides.

Anyone know if you can extract the sprite sheets used for flat rides etc from the data files? I've seen a few seemingly custom rides, wondering how they did it.

>>1989417

>>1989492
ridemaker lets you disassemble them into the pictures used

some stuff is hardcoded though like the spiral slide.

You know what would be an insane mod? Portals. Holy shit portals, think of all the compact design possibilities! Like, your first drop goes into a portal wall and exits right next to it without lateral G forces or ugly curves fucking you up. You could also make the most bad ass dueling coaster EVER. Someone should get on that, I can't be the only one who's thought of this idea.

>>1989491

I'd mix em up. If the player leaves it on default, they get a balance of attractions. Otherwise they can select what they want.

>>1989501
I don't know what's more painful, the wall on the track or that roll into half-loop

What speed should a corkscrew rollercoaster train go at when entering a half corkscrew? Enough it goes all the way and has some extra for another, and slow enough the lateral Gs aren't too high?

>>1989653
It almost doesn't matter, corkscrew is a shitty coaster, no fun at all to build and practically impossible to get above 7.50 excitement.

>>1989660
Ah, shit.
I wanted something that corkscrews around flat and straight bits of a wooden coaster track. Is there something better adapted or is it just a bad idea?

>>1989660
Really? I can do pretty decent with them.

>>1989653
>>1989675
The thing about Corkscrews is that they are not going to be your money coaster. The only hold 2 trains but with some well put block breaks you can hold more. ( See above posts all about Block Breaks and how to use them )
BUT on a positive note if you make a smallish one you can have decent excitement and low nausea. It can fill up a small chunk of space and make it so your peeps will get the nerve to ride your more extreme coasters. Id put one close-ish to one of your big coasters but NEVER EVER right next to them..two side by side coasters means that no one will ride the one with lower exitement

>>1989751
But Intensity of almost 10 is pretty fucking rough.

I'm really pissed that I forgot to add the water fountains to the scenery.

Anyway, here's how a new area of the park is coming along.

>>1989758
Yeah that cant be helped it seems. I could lower it if I get rid of some high speed banked turns after a drop but its kinda appropriate since its loosely based on the infamous real Coaster of the same name that was at Bush Gardens Willamsburg.
CSB I rode it when it was open when I was a kid, completely rough unpleasant ride. They tried to tweak it to no avail No one liked it and it stood SBNO for years and no one wanted to buy it. You could only see it from certain rides where it would be this creepy looking unwanted ride in the middle of nowhere. Then it was torn down for scrap metal.

My computer has been in the shop for almost a week, what did I miss?

They're certainly the blockiest brakes.

>>1989882

To be fair, every Arrow Dynamics steel coaster is pretty terrible. Makes sense they would be in the game as well.

I'm trying to run RCT2 with the windowed mode hack, but all I get is a white screen. I hear sound, I can click the exit button on the main menu, but nothing displays. I'm using the GoG triple thrill version on Win7, I've tried all different combinations of compatability modes, disabled desktop comp/visual themes, but nothing works.

Change the minimum wait time, dummy. You can tune it so that the train leaves the station just before the next one arrives. Add an appropriate chain lift block section if you want more than two trains.

-20 people died on I Don't Use Block Brakes Ride-

How about we discuss some ways to spice up flat rides?

>>1990945
... wow, that's an old screenshot.

>>1990945
I try to build the square flat rides on an elevated surface, then theme it appropriately.

>>1990945
let's

>>1990973
oh goddamn it, if only flat rides could synchronize.

Anyone heard of this guy Flux? His builds are seriously incredible!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncPPGSe7qxk

>>1991082
>20,000ft stand up

This shitty coaster has just been sitting here for like 8 in-game years and I still haven't figured out how I'm going to theme it.

I was sortof thinking of a sun/moon theme, but absolutely none of of the scenery allows for that.

>>1991082
No anon, nobody in the RCT2 general has ever heard of the most famous Youtuber who does RCT2 stuff.

>>1991145
I haven't until now.

Then again, I have heard of a random nobody that streams himself playing RCT badly and made a North Korea themed park, so...

>>1991271
>I have heard of a random nobody that streams himself playing RCT badly and made a North Korea themed park
You have my attention. Link?

>>1991271

Definitely watch his videos if you want to get better at landscaping. I learned a crapload from him.

>>1991103
Just pop some trees around it

>>1991103
Put some benches at the exit.

>>1990973
Do Scamwheels work?

>>1991458
Scamwheels? Ferris wheels are generally low-profit compared to other rides.

>>1991103
Maybe something similar to how you did this? >>1986371

Have you ever done this because the guest ai is too stupid to use transportation to get to their destination?

>Guests want to leave the park
>They can't because it requires using the elevator

>>1991950
How much did just that path cost?

>>1991289
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HLzsgBAvWo

>>1991950
>not making the path coil around the elevator
Please, this hurts.

>>1991969
>not just deleting the entire thing

>>1991950
>that fucking path
I remember I used to just not have an exit path at the top so they all freefalled until they hit the path at the bottom.

>>1991950
It's way easier to put a no entry sign on the exit path

>>1991950
This doesn't make any sense.

>Bring the path down all the way to the ground
>There's a path to connect to DIRECTLY in front of you
>Nope. There's a fence in the way. Can't do it.

>>1991950
I always demolish those fucking pieces of shit the moment I start the scenario. I haven't got time for that. Worst guest-trapping things ever put into an official scenario.

>>1991950
Just remove the path at the exit and let them drop back down.

>>1991950
Man, FUCK those things.

So I made this.
I had a coaster like this planned from the beginning of the park and I finally got bored and made it.
It's going to remain dormant until I can properly expand the park to reach it, though. It's going to be in the "mechanical" themed area of the park.

>>1992645
I made this too. This is nearer to the park.
Not a very good ride, stats-wise, but fuck it was hard to compact it all into this area.

>>1992645
I bet if you add some nice scenery and some tunnels you can get this one above 10.

>>1992645
>>1992713

Your lift hills are weird...

>>1992885
On Oxide I did that to get some extra height even though I preferred just a straight hill, and on Fire Hazard I did it to confine it into a smaller space.
It all works.

r8 my scenario so far
its mostly done, just have to set up inventions. I've been making a lot of scenarios, it's pretty fun.

>>1993746
forgot pic

>>1993750

Are you just doing a collab park on your own?

>>1993760
It's just my own, i liked the idea of having a bunch of separate pods for a park to make building shit more cramped and challenging, but then i thought it'd be cool if each pod was themed so i did that.

>>1993760
>impyling he's not collaborating with his headmates

>>1993762

True, it can be interesting. Especially when you try to fit four synchronised coasters into one of them.

I should really record them going round and make a webm of it.

>>1993773
Yes, yes, you should.
Do it, please.

I think this is the first shuttle loop I have ever made, and I'm rather proud of it.

>>1993937
Without scenery.

On a semi-related note, I've been working on expansion of the park. It's about time I did, people are getting pissed off at overcrowding.

>>1993937
>>1993941
Fuck yes.
Tons of firsts today.

>>1993937
>>1993941
wtf is going on with those paths?

>>1993773
this is awesome. would watch that webm many times

>>1993976
Lots of things.

>>1993986

>>1994005
Here, fixed it.

>>1993937
That's a really goddamn nice building

>>1994076
9/10 would stroll through

Let's say you built a Launched Freefall a while ago and a lot of guests have ridden it.
Now let's say you build another one on the other side of the park the same way. Will guests ride both? Do they care if the same ride is in the park twice?

>>1994334
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA no

>>1994345
>all that vomit

Are mods this stupid?

>>1994471
RCT2 is just RCT1 with several quality of life improvements and bells+whistles attached.
Hell, when it was released it was highly criticized that it felt more like an expansion pack that a new game.

>>1994484

At least they're usually few and far between. Posting an old screenshot because I don't have anything new to contribute.

>>1994495
It's honestly harder than I expected it to be to pick a single favorite coaster. Almost any given coaster at Cedar Point fits the bill really.

>>1994564
>what ride can you go on a dozen times in a row without a line?
Nothing that isn't shit :^) Blue streak actually is pretty fun.

i wonder, what's the highest excitement rating you can get on a monorail?

time for science

>>1994641
5 max, calling it before confirmed.

>>1994641
You can get 5+ out of a 30 second train ride with ease. I'll bet something like 8.

>>1994641
>>1994645
I dunno, don't think it'll go much more than this.

>>1994641
inb4 glitched number

>>1994649
What about the usual stuff like scenery? Or tunnels, synchronized stations and shoops?

>>1994649
Does that have anything to do with the drops or is it just the length? I think the latter.

>>1994653
I saw a launched monorail once with an excitement of 10. But it also broke down every five minutes.

>>1994619
I always go to amusement parks on weekdays. Avoiding crowds is the best thing to do.

>>1992713
>those lift hills

every time i see people post lift hills like this i always think to myself, why did i never try this years ago?

>>1994672
because it's ugly as sin?

Added some pretty spooky scenery
doesnt get the excitement rating near 5 though...

I might have to resort to drastic measures.

>>1994680
add tunnels, water, and more rides, maybe a dueling monorail

>>1994682

I get nausea and vertigo if i ride rollercoasters too much too soon. but i didn't have the option to get off.i did, but i didn't want to be "that guy" so i waited until my friend wanted to get off too. i think i just laid around in the water park the rest of the day afterward. i think im gonna get some dramamine next time i go theme parking

I've been on Nitro hundreds of times through the years just from ERT events and I still love it as much as I did the first time I rode it.

You guys should definitely go to coaster events at your local park if you've never been to one

>>1994780
What's an ERT?

>>1994783
Extended Ride Time, there are events at parks where they'll let you into the park early/keep it open late so you can ride coasters without the general public in your way.

ERT at non Cedar Point Cedar Fair parks was always best value for ratio of no lines/best rides to me

Steel Force ERT is a thing of beauty

No idea. Needed room on my tiny SSD I guess. Now I can't find the one savegame I'm looking for. Aside from that, I no longer have the RCT1 scenarios.

>>1995815
Just download the vpack from the OP. I think it has all of the RCT1 scenarios recreated in RCT2.

After you get RCT2 again which you should and never get rid of it because that was a retarded decision on your part. Why would you get rid of such a grorious game?

>>1995834
Wait, no, not the vpack, this one:

Camtasia Studio 8. I think I downloaded a crack ages ago, it does the job.

>>1996126
Is that the screen recorder with the window hack? Camtasia Studio 7s recorder sucks.

>>1996131

It lets you select an area of the screen to record, and I had RCT windowed. It might not work with the game in full screen, didn't try.

>>1996137
No it doesn't. I can't find a single recorder that does work in full screen.

>>1996154
fukken radical m8.

Also, add bushes and shrubs. It'll really make the area come to life.
Shrubs are very underused, and are awesome. Shame, really.

Alright, I don't know what the fuck it is, but out of nowhere, there's four loud "clang"s that sound like metal being banged together.
What is that? I just checked the Virginia Reel I have in my park and the last breakdown it had was a brake failure. Do the cars make sound when they hit each other? What that what I was hearing?

This is like the 5th time this has happened.

GoG versions are generally great, but I'm not sure about windows 8, you'd have to check. I think they're on Steam now too?

>>1998301
that's a comfy ass station

I'm having a go at making a somewhat realistic hyper within the games limitations (avoid gridded hills, essentially. The idea for this was to build it into a mountain range to support more turns). Any idea why the stats on this are so poor for a hyper?

>>1998353
1. No brakes. Anywhere. Try making the ride longer and add block brake sections at points of the ride where the speed of the train is low, which is usually at the top of hills. This doesn't mean to add brakes at the top of every hill, but try to get the most distance you can out of the ride.
2. Turns at the bottom of hills only serve to increase the intensity rating and look spine-crushingly ugly.

>>1998401
I'm not stupid or inexperienced. I know how to tailor track height to get appropriate speeds and g-forces without the use of brakes. My intention was to approximately double the ride length with a block section about where the ride currently ends. Regarding the turn, I don't really see another way without falling into the goofy and unrealistic look I already described (I may see fit to elevate that first "severe" turnaround, though I have designed it to keep the lateral gs appropriate).

I'm looking for the advice of someone who has thoroughly studied how a g-force profile below critical thresholds affect intensity, and it may well be the case that a 1.86g turn is enough to dock a few tenths of a point, but that coaster is more like 1.5 points lower than normal for a hyper.

I'll experiment with it, I suppose.

Workbench and details should be up either tomorrow or Monday. I made a strawpoll so I have a general idea of what to include in the scenario. If you have any specific ride or scenery requests you can reply to this and I'll probably include them.

is that the original 2fort?

So I decided to continue my little experiment today, adding another 2 squares to my modular park
At 3000 guests and still climbing
Too lazy to finish it today but I'll try to get it as a 3x3 grid at some point and just let it run to see where the number of guests cap off
