New roller coaster in my Mega Park.

Need to think of more ways to keep excitement above intensity in my rides, though this one completed the circuit on the first test which I was really happy about. also pictured: superman the escape 2

>>2047487
How do you get stats on a ride like that?

>>2047491
>have sections go underground and near water
>close proximity to other rides
>footpath
>scenery near the station/entrance
What else am I missing?

>>2047518
>>scenery near the station/entrance
I thought scenery around the entire ride helped boost the excitement rating, not just around the station?

>>2047524
To a point I think, I've noticed it the most however when it's concentrated near the entrance.

>>2047524
Yeah, you can stack a bunch of crap on top of your track and you'll get like .02-.03 excitement per piece

>>2047472
Impressive, but pretty chaotic.

>>2047540
That's what I was thinking.

But every time I see a bare wall it just looks so weird

sort of wish I could have come up with a more elegant way to use this river/waterfall section

name ideas? I can't name coasters for shit

>>2047454
You faggots STILL haven't updated the OP.

>>2047472

>>2047608
>>2047607
That's more than thigh-busting, that's redout territory.

I like the park sim part of RCT, but I hate building rollercoasters. Is it absolutely necessary for me to make them in RCT?

>>2047518
Water helps?

>>2048072
If you really want to, I suppose you could play without ever building a custom roller coaster. You can get away with prebuilt rides and flat rides.

>>2048072
Pussy Park

>>2047472
Damn dude you really like teal lol. Great job keep t up so far.

>>2048076

Do I have to use a prebuilt rollercoaster? That is, can I play the game without using a single coaster?

>>2048120
I think it would be interesting to try.

>>2048124
It's like playing The Sims and never building your own house. I mean, what's the damn point?

>>2048124
I know a girl who was like this. Played RCT more obsessively than anyone I know and just used the premade coasters.

>>2048148
What if you fucking suck at designing homes? I know I did that's why my ass always moves into the pre-builds.

>>2048072

I never build custom rides while a scenario is going on unless I don't have room for a prebuilt (for example, with Big Pier). I always build and splurge on one gigantic ride AFTER the scenario is done to reward myself.

>>2048072
>>2048120
I believe coasters play the biggest role in determining the number of guests that will visit your park, along with being the best money source. You can probably make a smallish park work without coasters, provided you can keep the dicks out of your mouth long enough to play.

>>2048171
I don't understand people who make fucking box houses. It is literally not even trying. Even just building a house room by room is accessible to those incompetent at design and will give a decent look.

>>2048171
Well maybe you should git gud fgt.

how do i git gud at making my rollercoasters more exciting

>>2048576
>7.31 lateral
>5.87 lateral
You may want to consider using banked turns...

>>2048576

>>2048576
First thing I notice is you build up a lot of speed and don't really do anything with it. Neither coaster comes back up to the height of the lift hill or even close.

Yo, there like an IRC channel for this?

>>2048706
I can imagine what the chat would be like:
Anon1: wuut?
Anon2: building a coaster, you?
Anon1: same

it would be like this thread, and you can see how fast posts are on here

>>2047665
B-but Anon...

>>2048883
I really wish air powered coasters had more elements. I like how their track and cars look but literally the only element that have is the vertical tower.

>>2048901
That's why you pretty it up by having a food court next to the tower.

>>2048857
>>2048706
Should still have one. They're nice to have.

>>2048901
I hate the bank transition element, but everything else is cool.

Things, I make.

Also, these coasters are on opposite sides of the lake. The colors might be clashing, but I think it works pretty well.

>>2049261
edit tiger to have some pieces of track be black. y'know, like tiger stripes. im sure it would only look good from one angle, but do it for the children.

keep posting your progress, coming home from work and seeing new /vr/ct pics is a key part in my after work activities

>>2049108
There's #/vr/ on rizon, too bad only one guy uses it most of the time

>>2049108

>>2049269
Voila!

Great idea, by the way. It really gives the coaster more of a personality.

>>2049297
absolutely wonderful

>>2049297
also, if you are so bold, what does the coaster like from other angles?

>>2049290
I've only used an IRC client for years.

>tfw can't into good looking large structures
they always turn into horrible boring abominations.

>>2050097

They're pretty hard to make interesting without also making them look ridiculous, or way too busy.

That's a pretty hideous colour you've chosen there, though.

>>2049434
Just a suggestion, but try checking your antivirus/other running applications. I feel like something is trying to access your game's memory and causing the error trapper to trigger, because it seems like you're constantly getting them.

>>2050128
I wanted it to blend in with the environment, those houe structures with bright colors tend to become eyesores really quick.

>>2050078
Crank up that lift hill speed.

>>2050097
I like this building a lot, and I even like the color. GJ anon.

just recently started playing RCT2

is there some trick to close the circuit of your self made roller coasters?
I spend like 15 minutes every time I try to finally connect the last piece with the starting place

>>2050314
It's something that gets much easier with practice.

>>2050314
Are you mentally incapable of seeing straight? I mean I started playing this game when I was like 6 years old and never had this problem.

>>2050097

>>2050314
Use the ground tiles so you're not guessing. For that coaster in particular, you could the hill before the left turn by one square and make up the rest of the height difference with the station after the turn. Pretty easy fix.

>>2050380
you could shorten the hill*

>not just making the small turn a medium turn

this is the person who posted Maroon Rangoon. felt like building a huge giga coaster to let off some stress. I'm proud of this one, it's the first coster I've ever built with over 10 excitement. need 2 ticks to see the whole track. wonder if there are ways i could bring down the intensity/nausea though. suggestions would be appreciated. thank you~

>>2050874
Honestly, with a coaster above 10,000 feet in length, there's really not a whole lot you can do to reduce intensity/nausea. It's the nature of the beast.

Threw this together in a small L-shaped area too small for a real coaster, but too big for a landscape feature.

It took me 3 fucking tries to find a spot to put this damn coaster, as well as find a design I like/can build scenery around easily. Sadly, this is all I did today. I'll do scenery tomorrow. I really need to finish up the beginning area. Or, at least, everything I've started building.

>>2050935
That actually looks pretty awesome.

>>2051807
Yeah, trying to give a "local county/state fair" kinda feel to it.

>>2051810
I just got 8cars to give me pretty much infinite money (I won't run out) since this was originally a scenario that I found from the /v/ pack. I thought that I should take it out for a sandbox spin

>>2051816
Don't care/10

>>2051836
Hey moot, next time attack my picture

It took two error trappers and one half-coaster redesign to get this right.

What were the scenario designers thinking when they added this ride? Better yet, why didn't Sawyer add in the behavior for guests leaving the park to use the the transportation rides?

>>2052159
because actual content is for suckers

have some more themed train reskins :^)

>>2052159

>>2048576
i was this anon and thanks for the tips /vr/
i finally made a rollercoaster with an excitement level above a 2

>>2052216
quite an improvement but
>all those fucking chain lifts

>>2052216
well it's a start.

>>2052159
It's based on the real observation deck at Magic Mountain.

>>2052218
so do i need to cut down on the chainlifts? i don't see why i don't need them but then again, i've only been playing for a week

>>2052231
Lift hills should only be necessary when the train needs to be pulled up a hill. If your train is going 40 mph, it won't need a chain lift.

>>2052216

I wish I knew how to do stuff like that. It's very nice, anon.

How should I improve this coaster?

>>2052443
look at real life Vekoma fliers to find out

>>2052443
Less straight and level track near the end. Give it some curves and helices.

>>2051676

>>2052276
i dont like the orange glass, and i dont think its that important for it to match the coaster, personally id go with a more natural color. otherwise i think its a really awesome building. seeing everyone's stuff makes me want to start playing again

>>2052447
>>2052448
I changed some.

>>2052591
much better

>>2052592
thanks.

>>2051620
I thought I'd try a different approach for a cleaner result. Apparently guests snap to tile centers, then release their balloons and drown.

What does/can 8cars do exactly?

>>2052750
Basically a cheat engine. I've only used it to give myself the mountain tool in scenarios though

>>2052624
>>2051620

I tried this with (literally) over 9000 guests and the game just crashed when I removed the paths to drown them.

Demand Screenshot of the Wooodie/Gokart contraption

>>2052884
I only did two or three thousand (it takes ten or fifteen minutes to deliver 8cars trams up to the sprite limit, which wasnt necessary here). My guess is that peep with balloon is only one sprite, such that maxing the sprite count and then doubling it by separating them causes the engine to just lose it.

That's pretty cool. This is something I'd like to see in a giant map.

Thoughts on this inverted coaster? I like the layout, but I could make it longer. I plan on making a station building for it, like the Raptor at Cedar Point.

>>2047478
Voting ends tomorrow - Be sure to vote if you haven't yet!

made a mine train

intensity's kinda high, but eh

apologies for jpg, it was smaller and it was giving me a "possible malicious code" error

>>2054152
love that banked straight over the gap

also like the look of that blue coaster skimming along the river and going under and up out of the waterfall

>>2054170
thanks anon

added some trim brakes to the tunnel before that banked straight since it was ripping through there at like 50MPH

stats are slightly better now, even though it took a little hit to excitement.

>>2054205
You could probably make the small banked turn after the banked bridge a wider turn without changing any other part of the layout.

>>2054224
just tried that, no difference to stats except it reduced excitment by 0.01

>>2054231
Try it without the brakes.

>>2054235
good call

>>2054918

I like that correct usage of literally.

Now this, is the sort of thing people do hardly ever in their parks and really should do more of.

>>2055173
>>2055191
My ears hurt just looking at it.

>>2055173

I feel like I've been on that coaster, I still have the bruises. And the PTSD.

>>2055173
>>2055206
>>2055219
I'm not old enough to have ridden any arrow looping coasters when they were new, were they always rough and painful as fuck, or were they smooth when they opened?

Because if they were always like this, I have no idea why the hell they made so many of them.

>>2055225

I think at the time, that was normal. There weren't really any smooth coasters. Then companies like Intamin and B&M (and my new personal favourite, CGI) came along and started making smooth as silk rides, and somehow Arrow never really learnt how to do that.

>>2055237

And by CGI, I obviously mean GCI.

>>2055237
based Swiss

It's been a while. Here's my newest addition to my creepy park

I'm also working on a new track pack

r8/h8/oscill8

Most Arrows also used flatter shoulder harnesses so even if they weren't smooth you weren't banging your head on anything. Some parks decided to "upgrade" to the taller harnesses and completely ruined their rides.

>>2055237
Yeah, I have a roller coaster video from 1994 that has on-ride reaction footage of the hosts on Viper at SFMM and they are in visible pain. Still it didn't look as bad as when I was there a couple of years ago. Maybe Arrows also have the misfortune of not aging well.

>>2055191
I don't see anyone swimming

>>2055548
Well of course not, he needs a manned lifeguard tower, otherwise people might drown!

>>2055591
Let's be honest, in this universe, the lifeguard would probably drown too.

>>2055237
The only Arrows I've been on were a conventional corkscrew and a hypercoaster. Both were okay, not as rough as you'd think. But the worst part of a corkscrew is the bank going into it, pic related. It slams you to the side of your seat and restraint, where you stay for the remainder of the corkscrew.

The worst part of an Arrow hypercoaster... well, let's just say you shouldn't ride the Magnum XL-200 on the front two cars of a train. Those bunny hills at the end of the ride will give you some interesting thigh pain.

>>2055613
I worked at Cedar Point. Man up. Massive pussy confirmed

>>2055769
Fuck you, make the front train lap bars softer.

>A 20 year old merry-go-round must be free for anyone to ride it
Not even a dime? Fuckin' jews.

>>2055774
>Arrow hypercoaster with B&M lap restraints

>>2055774

Next time try leaving the lapbar up as high and you can and making the seatbelt mega tight :-D

>>2055191
added a woodie to the park too

I spent about 8 hours over two days in this one spot building and rebuilding different types of coasters to fit in this spot. This is the best I've made out of all of the attempts.
Goddamn.

>>2055894

Delete, build a new, identical one.

>>2056167

Wow, that is nice. Though I'd maybe add more greens/flowers onto the actual building itself (e.g replace those flat, 1-block section of pitched roofs on the sides with balconies)

Reversers are really underrated in my opinion. They're so aesthetically pleasing and challenging in a way that doesn't make it obnoxious (like a bobsled would).

>>2056167
Very nice dude, will you give us the save to this building-extravaganza when you're done with the park? I'd love to see it first-hand and steal your ideas
also, stats?

>>2056427
also that feel when someone voted for your sp00ktober park

>>2056431
That feel when only half of the voters downloaded the save.

>>2056472

>>2056427
A lot of my ideas and inspiration are stolen from Fluxtrance anyway, so go watch him.

And about the coaster, it's the worst in the park, and I have no clue why the Intensity/excitement ratio is so garbage.

Brimble Woods doesn't really feel spooky, it feels medieval. All it's missing is a big castle and it would be complete. Corvus is one of the coolest uses of merged track with that dive near the end. Voodoo is cool too, it's a shame the sloped fences can't be saved with the track design. Plus that little spiral coaster is adorable. I think this one was my favorite.

The Void is such a cool idea, and the Colostomy Inferno wild mine coaster is a very cool ride. Bloodlines looks awesome but the trains are always empty.

Fridotopia has a good "conventional park" feel, and looks worn out and dilapidated.

Blackwood Asylum is full of good rides. I love how the Fatality inverted coaster dips into the spike pit.

Spankmaster's Spineripper coaster looked great, with pieces of broken track all over, but I think the Experiment vertical coaster was the best in the park.

Monday_'s park had huge rollercoasters, and they were generally well made. I was sort of puzzled why the mine train coaster in the corner was closed off, but it had a good abandoned feel to it. This one is a very close second only to Brimble Woods.

All in all, I think everyone did a good job. Every park had something good going for it.

Modified Elwyn Forest scenario I'm building in with different rides.

Thanks to everybody for entering and participating. There were a lot of great parks and a bunch of nice screenshots posted in the thread that weren't entered. This contest generated a lot more interest than I had expected which is awesome. I'm thinking about potential future contests but none for a while. If anybody else wants to step up and host a contest in the mean time, definitely feel free.

>>2059040
Not necessarily. When I used to run RCT2 on a Win 98 Thinkpad, the damn thing would get error trappers when I used the volume control.

>>2059048
How the hell do you manage to get so many error trappers? I've gotten like one that actually affected me in my entire life.

>>2057229
Congrats man, loved your park. The fact that the dueling coaster is all 1 track makes it so much cooler.

>>2056918
Definitely agreed, every park had something about it that I loved and made it really unique.

>>2059054
If there's one thing I've learned about error trappers, it's that they show up when you least expect them and when you haven't saved for 45 minutes. When I was working on my Spooktober park, I somehow got an error trapper when I clicked to place a restroom...

So I finally decided to expand the park and add more coasters, and I did just that.
The scenery for this coaster isn't final at all, mind you. But the trees around the ride are going to stay there. Look all swampy. It's neat.

>>2059416
And on the other side of the park are some flat rides and a small coaster.
Yeah, I know it's just a recolor of DeJa Vu from Six Flags. Yeah, I know the support structures for the lift hills are the same, but goddamnit, shuttle coasters are an ingenius idea, and just look cool.

Also, the rides inside of the buildings are a Lauched Freefall (no shit), a Carousel, and two Swinging Inverter Ships in the top building.

>>2059434
>FOOD HERE
I love it.

>>2059434
>Yeah, I know it's just a recolor of DeJa Vu from Six Flags
Deja Vu was a Vekoma copypaste coaster anyway

>>2059195
>The fact that the dueling coaster is all 1 track makes it so much cooler

how do you do that?

>>2059434
That may be the only vekoma boomerang I have ever liked

>>2059662
Basically you have one half of the track lead into a second station which then will lead back to the original station, so it's all just one big continuous track. It's a lot harder to build a dueling coaster this way because you have to build both sides before you can test it to see how the trains race each other.

>>2059718
That's cool.

>>2059054
I havent gotten any really weird ones, but I've had several when testing synched coasters. That seems to be the most reliable source of them.

>>2059723
Not him and I apparently forgot to save a pick of it, but you can have two stations together, have a dip of 10ft and have the track curve sharply just outside of the station in opposite directions just outside of the station, have one side a larger curve, a little straight track with a hump or dip and then the lift hill, the other side meanwhile snakes diagonally under the stations and straight to the lift hill.

If you do it at ground level and bury the track, all you're left with is the stations, the first curve and the lift hills shooting out of the ground and the trains will be synched. It's a pretty cool effect and one I love.

If you're confused over how to do it, ask and I'll quickly build it for some pics.

I just downloaded the trainers .zip file, and threw the trainers folder into the directory.
Nothing happened.

How do I trainer, and what did I do wrong?

>>2060171
You have to run the trainer, dipshit. Its a separate program.

I feel like building something again. Any suggesty? Also reight meight old one.

>>2060356
Do 5 corners. Failing that, Mountain Ranges. Definitely don't build anything that looks like your pic related, I should hope.

Or just build rape machines.

>>2056969
This is a great looking theme park, love it. Is everything that istransparent in this image, water in the park? Hope so that'd look mighty cool. Damn i actuallyt want to go here

>>2060125

This sound interesting but I can't quite picture it. Pic would be much appreciated.

Anyone else experiencing framerate issues with RCT2 with ddhack? I have a GTX740 and an intel i5 processor, and RCT2 works fine in fullscreen. Patching it with ddhack causes it to lag in-game yet FRAPS shows it's running on 50fps.

Anyone know how to fix it?

Was wondering as well, this is probably a stupid question but is there anyway to play rct on the go. On a PSP/Vita, Tablet?

>>2060391
It's ground covered with black scenery pieces that just look like the Backgrund.

>>2059034
How is it when you have more than 3000 peeps? I have an old P4 laptop and it becomes a housefire when I have over 3000 people in the park,

>>2060392
Everything after the first 2 pieces of track out of the station can be buried underground, until it shoots out of a hole of the ground for the lift hill. If the trains don't synch up perfectly, you can change the left side track to a diagonal for a soft 'S' turn instead of a hard 'S' turn. and you can add or remove humps / dips from the right hand track in order to lengthen the time it takes the train to reach the chain lift.

With a little experimentation you can easily get them to go up the hill side by side, works great.
I got them both side by side with one coaster by building a quick loop to behind the second station, building the second station and then removing the loop around track. Lets me build both sides at the same time and have it still be one coaster.

>>2060629
Additional note: If you use an S bend on the right hand side track then you can have the lift hill(s) be directly next to the station, if you so choose.

>>2060647
Pic for reference. This is the shortest and most basic version, realistically the underground part should be elongated about 4 tiles or more to give you room for dips / humps / whatever and changing the layout slightly, so that the trains synch up perfectly.

The brakes furthest at the back are block brakes, the rear station is exit only and the forward station is entrance only, if it wasn't obvious.

>>2060396

Nice security on that ride.

>>2059718

What's the advantage as opposed to two separate coasters?

>>2060725
You can suck more cocks.

>>2060725
There's only one set of stats and expenses tied to the coaster so you're not having to pay for 2. Plus it's fucking baller.

>>2061028

Yeah but having two coasters with the same stats or one two-part coaster with the same stats hardly makes a difference? On the downside, if the ride breaks down, both sides are gone. And if you want them to be different colours, you get the intense pleasure of individually clicking every single track piece with the paintbrush.

>>2061114
You can click-and-hold and drag, m8.

literally ded thred
literally ded gaem

>>2061980
ebic post m8 :^)

May as well post the new things I made.

I wanted to shy away from having coasters go through other parts of the park and have them stick to their arbitrarily-defined allotments, but the Hypercoaster really seems open enough to be non-obstructive.

>>2062072
Looks boring.

>>2062075
maybe to look at, but have you ever been on a morgan or arrow hyper IRL? They're fun as fuck.

>>2062075
Well it's nowhere near completed on the scenery. I still have to expand the part all the way over there.

Unless you're talking about the ride itself.
In that case, the stats are shit, what can you do?

>>2062076
I'm talking only about how it looks, and only about how it looks in the actual game, not "how it would've been".

>>2062078
Not ride itself, but I personally like rides that are all weird and complex and fucked up, not straight lines.

>>2062072
>Daily Reminder
You'll never manage to break the limits of guests and rides in your park.

>>2062089
Don't get me wrong, so do I, but I wanted a coaster that looked aesthetically pleasing, and was very open. It makes it easier to build scenery around, you know?
>>2062090
;^(

>>2062101
I like when its something like this. All bunched up together in incoherent mess that does work somehow.

>>2062116
>"I don't like coasters with straight lines!
>"I like coasters like pic related!"
Check the corners. Any of them.

>>2062118
You can't even quote me right. I was talkin about having a ride that goes up and down in straight like for like 120 tiles.

>>2062120
Besides the fact that you said verbatim, "I like rides that are [...] not straight lines," the picture you show has far greater offenses than the other posters'.

The picture you posted has very few elements outside of large turns and 45 degree slopes. I'd much rather go on a standard hypercoaster, a la Magnum XL, than any of the coasters in your picture.

At least post some spaghetti if you're trying to make a point about "weird and complex."

>>2062157
You completely missing the point. I didn't post it to show those cool 45 degree slopes or other top-tier elements. When you don't see complex elements or spaghetti-like mess the wise thing would be to ask yourself "what should I see here then?" and not hurry to write about how stupid the poster is. My pic shows 4 coasters go thru same points and interconnect (?) here and there. That's what I was trying to show - coasters going on top of each other, under and shit like that. The guy I was talking to seems to do what I see here done A LOT - just one isolated coaster after the other with 999 trees around it. I dont like that.

In RCT1, is there a way to make underground carousels and Ferris wheels?

>>2062163
People do that because that's how real coasters are done. Mixing coasters and having them look good takes a lot of effort. Just building a series of coasters in the same area as in that shot looks like shit - clashing woodies and steel, fairly boring with significant straightaways, zipping right by gentle rides probably scaring the shit out of children in line, etc.

Even resolving to make multiple interacting coasters, they need to be designed as a package and ultimately end up being discrete and separate from everything else as with single coasters, just with multiple interacting tracks.

>>2062221
You need to stop playing videogames for at least 1 year.

>>2062262
>simulation game
>stop thinking about reality!

>>2062165

Nope. Why are you playing rct1?

>>2062262
I wholesomely agree.
The moment you try and make realistic and good-looking park with aesthetically pleasing and well-built coasters, even though it takes a little more space than just cramming everything on top of each other, is the moment you should stop playing video games.

>>2062116
But see, that's just stupid.

The little clash at the top of the hill looks good, great even, but it seems you just designed the rest of the coaster to fit into that, utilizing unneeded straightaways with no elements in them whatsoever, making it look unnatural and bulky. That looks worse than than any coaster that goes straight for a while but has a bunch of hills.

So I build this. What do you guys think?

>>2062565
You missed Halloween by almost two weeks, Mr. Bones.

What's going on with that woodie in the corner?

Can anyone help a retard trying to get this to fit on the screen? It's on Windows 8.1 hooked up to an HDTV... the edges are all off the screen and god help me if I try to open the load/save browser.

I downloaded the widescreen exe from here
http://rct.wikia.com/wiki/RollerCoaster_Tycoon#Working_resolutions
but it just crashes.

tks..

>>2063276
Is it a laptop or a desktop? Do you have another monitor plugged in?

>>2063367
Desktop. 1 monitor (the TV)

>>2063376
What happens when you run it vanilla (i.e., without the widescreen mod)?

>>2063276
Another possibility is your HDTV is just on the wrong setting. Usually there's a menu with options like, "Zoom", "4/3 Zoom", "Stretch to Fit" etc. Could be on one of the zoom settings.

>>2063386
It runs as described in the first part of the post. Pretty much the tops of the buttons aren't visible, as well as all other edges - and trying to use the file browser is impossible because it's way too big.

I'd take screens but they come out normal.

>>2063390
It works fine for everything other than retro games. (I just got Lords of the Realm 2 and it also doesn't fit). What settings in the PC could be affecting these? Obviously they weren't made with W8 in mind but I'm not sure what would fix them. For RCT I'd love to get it in wide, but even just fitting my TV would be great.

>>2063397

I finally got around to filling up a (modified) Build Your Own Six Flags map.

>>2063246

>>2063169

>>2064105

>>2063619
I hate how that map forces you to build a bridge over the center lake.

Ruins the aesthetics.

>>2064707
Why not just build one under instead?

>>2064712
fuck, you're right

I always forget about tunnels

>>2064707
I'm sure if you prettied it up enough you could make like a 4-way pier type deal, even with rides and shit out there.

>>2064720
I thought about doing that, but I ran out of rides. It's only there to solve some minor pathing issues.
I didn't consider a tunnel. Maybe I'll fix it with that.

>>2063619
Mind dropping a download link? I want to look at all the stuff you made in detail.

>>2065603

Sure.

Is there any way to remove the scenery limit for new scenarios? Is that what a workbench is?
Because this scenery limit is pissing me off. I want my B&M supports and additional water features, goddamnit

>>2065910
Scenery limits are non-negotiable. They're hard-coded into the game. It sucks.

>>2065914
This saddens me in many ways.

>>2065927

Maybe one day, with openRCT2.

>>2065914
Why are those limits hardcoded in the game anyway? Because it was supposed to run on computers with way less memory than we have now?

>>2066139
Probably. It may have even been a matter of address space. It's a fuckload of sprites.

>>2066139
Because it's far easier (especially when working in assembly) to keep things like scenery item ID as a field with a fixed number of bits to make arrays simple and fast. Sawyer could have made the limits higher, but at the cost of memory consumption, and possibly making all of the pointer arithmetic more complex.

Just wanted to let everyone know that all RCT games+Theme Park are on sale in GOG.

Oh hey, actually bumping with something new. Still gotta do the station though, I'm thinking something industrial.

>>2066741
Is that some Mountain Ranges?

>>2066747
Hell yeah brah. I would never make a ride that long otherwise, unless it was extreme heights or some shit.

So I wanted to take a break from building my superpark to hopefully spark some new inspiration when I return to it, so I decided to work my Extreme Heights park I started a week or so back.

I don't hire entertainers at Arid Heights. It's not ethical.

>>2067289
Not bad. Did you delete Flaming Fury?

>>2067935
Yeah, but I remade it, kindof.

It was a pain in the pass to get it to go over the entrance again, seeing how a lot of the other two coasters are underground, but I made it work.

>>2067939
>pain in the ass
I make funny mistakes when I'm tired.

>>2067939
Eh, I kinda like the original better I think. Still though, good effort, I like the big loop out of the ground with the slope along the hill. That green coaster is pretty bitchin' too.

>>2067941
To be honest, I do too. I hate the ending of the coaster. It was going to have a cobra roll dip down next to pathways, and I was going to put scenery around it to make it look cool, but the intensity ended up being 11 or some shit. It makes sense, considering the first half of the coaster is pretty brutal. It has the highest average speed in the park for a reason.

Also stats of the floorless, if you were interested.

>>2067943
Why are floorless coasters so much more based than standard twisters?

>>2067949
Because floors are for pussies.

>>2067289
You should build a shuttle tramway up that hill, like a funicular.

>>2067963
Unless there's still things yet to be researched at year 10, there are no transport rides in Extreme Heights.

Is there a way to make spinning cars on the steel mini not suck? I like the idea of them and want to try to make a good coaster with them but I always get shit with like 8.5 intensity and 4.5 excitement that would be vastly improved if I just used ladybird cars.

>>2068389
Bitch, you ever been on one?

I've tried for hours to get my copy of Rollercoaster Tycoon working on my Windows 8.1

No matter how much I adjust the compatibility options, it just won't play. Any help?

>>2068597
Use Windows 98 / Windows ME, Disable Visual Themes.
Check your anti-virus.
Disable UAC/Run as Administrator.
Try GOG version. Make sure to try the above things too if it doesn't work.
If all else fails, don't use Windows 8/use a VM.

>>2068627
I should also probably mention, if you do use the GOG version, don't use GOG's shortcut and don't run it from launcher.exe. The compatibility options have to be set on RCT.exe.

>>2068389
I think by focusing on lots of turns and few drops might help. It's hard to say, I haven't built one of those in a long time.

Can anyone help a beginner? I'm on one of the easy parks. I have several small rides and a decent Virginia Reel going, my park rating is high, my park is full to the brim but I just can't make money. I need a certain park value at the end of the 4th year to win the scenario, but I just can't get value up if I can't get the money to start building coasters and bigger rides. I have shops and stalls, but I don't know if they could be making more. Is it ever worth it to take out a loan? What is there to do to make enough money for coasters?

>>2069293
Build thrill rides everywhere. First thing you do, gentle rides and thrill rides. Increase the cost of the rides to match their excitement rating (rounded, of course). Use your 10k on that, and then with the money you make from those rides, place down stalls, bathrooms, etc. By then you should be making loads. Then if it's in the scenario, build a log flume, rake in more cash, and then build rollercoasters.
This seems like a very long process, but it actually goes after than you think.

To increase park rating, add benches, lamps, and trash cans EVERYWHERE, and make sure your handymen are keeping the place clean.
And queue line TVs never hurt anyone.

>>2069321
I forgot to mention, it's a pay-to-enter park, not a pay-to-ride, which makes it more difficult.

>>2069372
Set park entrance has high as possible (probably around $30), charge out the ass for concessions/novelty shit, $20 umbrellas if it's a rainy scenario (otherwise charge $5-6 so you're always getting money from them), be aggressive with marketing campaigns, don't be afraid to charge up to $0.30 for bathrooms.

If anyone else has anything to add, that's what I could think of off hand.

>>2069389
>$0.30 for bathrooms.
Good old dimes for dumps.

>>2069293
Avoid building cash machines so guests are forced to leave to get more money.

>>2069395
Wouldn't you /want/ to be liberal with cash machines to extort as much money as possible from guests, or am I missing something?

>>2069389
I forgot to add, use lots of on-ride photos and charge like $5 for them, and for the park entrance, watch the incoming guests and set the entrance fee to the lowest amount of cash a guest is carrying (around $30 in my experience).

>>2069408
You get more from admission than the occasional food/drink in a pay-to-enter park. Plus, everyone comes back empty-handed so you can sell them a new map/umbrella/t-shirt, and so on.

>>2069321
>>2069389
>>2069395
>>2069408
>>2069418
Thanks for the help!

So apparently, by using trainers, you can force the game to use both ride admission AND entrance admission, but you can't edit the ride admission after that... it's locked.
And then you get an award for cheating.

>>2070740

Also, we need to update the /v/ pack in the OP. Who's been keeping it updated?

>>2070815
I guess... make a new pack when creating a new thread?

>>2071027
I think it'd make more sense to have a Mega folder or something similar to use as a repository for /vr/ct related files. Having the OP make a new pack each time makes it a lot more probable it could get fucked up, imo. Leading to confusion, "don't use the one in OP use this one" arguments, etc.
