Is Open RCT dead?

>>2160083

>open-source
>Christmas/new year's

nah more than likely the few people who are developing it are busy

>>2160103
That is also likely the reason the thread has been a little ded of late.

>>2160136

last thread had no subject

>STILL talking about RCT2, a non-retro game, on /vr/ repeatedly
I'm going to report this shit until you fucking idiots finally fuck off to /vg/ where you belong.

>>2160152
RCT /vg/ threads were tried years ago and didn't work.

>>2160189
don't even reply, trolls like him are swiftly taken care of by the ever trusty do-it-for-frees

Has anyone made any snow-themed maps yet?

>>2160578
We should have another competition.

>>2160292
>troll for keeping non-/vr/ threads off /vr/
Are you stupid? Apparently the mod is too.

Fucking dumbshits. RCT2 IS NOT RETRO. STOP IT. HOW IS THIS EVEN A FUCKING DEBATE? HOLY HELL YOU KIDS ARE FUCKING RETARDED. GET THE FUCK BACK TO /v/.

>that ugly blocky river

I'm considering starting an OTTD/TTD/TT/Locomotion general thread. Anybody interested? Should we just turn /vr/ct into a chris sawyer general? Should I just fuck off to /vg/?

>>2161131
Meh, I only play RCT so I wouldn't have much to discuss in a thread like that.

>>2161131
Some people were doing a city/transit builder general thread in /vr/ a while ago. So I'd say people would post in it, yeah.

>>2161131
I've been playing a lot of TTiPad lately.

Might not be able to contriboot much, but /vr/ is a slow board.

>>2161232
that's why I thought mebbe /vr/ct could become a chris sawyer general. The amount of people posting TTD stuff would be small anyway

A classic.

So I bought theme park studio.

Just too much going on for my taste

Also its so hard to fucking use

It is so goddamn fun to build towering, compact rollercoasters and name them after meteorological phenomena.

anyone got the link to RC2/crack?

>>2161810
Jesus christ how do you do this?

>>2161872
The trick is to coil it in on itself. That's the most important thing. Also, picking a ride that can use vertical track or inversions is helpful. I doubt I could do this with a wooden coaster without it looking like a giant, ugly meatball.

Mostly, it's hard to get good stats.

>>2162631
it's hard to get good stats with woodies in general

eh.

>>2162729

Taffer.

How's this for a meatball?

Or this one.
9x9 square

>>2163194
Err, 10x10
I can't count

>>2163203
It's hard to keep it realistic while being that compact.

>>2162832
i dont know what this means

>>2161872
Also, experiment. I think the most important thing is to try something new when you think of it. Try working with different station elevations, or try making the first drop a series of curves, or something. Get an idea, and build around it.

>>2163050
that's a spicy meatball.

Repost for new thread.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/q8v018w46q3t0wp/Wake_Me_Up_Inside.SC6

I know it's hard guys but don't let that stop you from trying it.

>>2163268
Aesthetics wasn't even a consideration for that one. After the first two drops fitting anything at all in was a nightmare.

>>2163194
normally I hate broken-up chain lifts, but damn, that's pretty fucking cool

>>2161131
There used to be ottd threads on /n/ and CBG (city building general) on vg. Cbg died and merged with tycoon here but this wad a while ago and it seems the other previous city posters are ded or forever lurking tycoon threads. I can post the pastebins of the CBG thread Op and info if anyone wants

OP pic made me want to do Bumbly again. Although I don't understand the construction rights, I can build rides on the beach but I can't connect a path to them.

>>2167276
Yeah, that's a bug with RCT2's stupid limitations... in the original RCT, you can build across that path, but in RCT2, you can't cross a path that goes to the entrance with construction rights.

Nobody wants to go on my 14.95 intensity coaster

>>2167312
Gee, I wonder why?

>>2167316
Honestly everyone's necks would snap after the drop

>>2167312
post screens

>>2167334
Maybe tomorrow or so
It's pretty much a big lift chain and then a super fast drop then tight turns.

>>2167384
Might not even be the drop then, usually it's best to ascend back up at least a little before turns

8x8 square

it can be done
it is painful, and I have suffered
but it can be done

>>2168410
Is this financially viable in any sense?

>>2168410
Impressive.

>>2168410

I know RCT3 is not very popular around here but can anyone post a link to the RCT 1 scenarios for RCT3?

>>2168973
Someone actually remade RCT1's scenarios in RCT3? This is news to me.

Spiral coasters are good for compact builds.

>>2169047

nice! spirals are often overlooked and underrated imo

>>2169071
They're very forgiving with intensity, too. I used a spiral coaster as one of my ten coasters to beat Mountain Ranges.

>>2169026
I remember seeing it being posted...somewhere. I was looking forward to riding the Dynamite Blaster in first person.

Maybe it was just a wonderful dream...

If I want a super hard challenge, what scenario do I play?

>>2169279
I forget the name but somebody could tell you, the one where you have to build 10 long coasters over a certain excitement or five corners.
Or vidya park.

>>2169298
I've beaten both of them and everyone knows vidya valley is impossible.

>>2169339
Is that one FINAL DESTINATION custom scenario possible/hard?
You know, the one where you can build ONLY coasters, no loan, and you have to buy ALL your land.

>>2169339
Vidya Valley has been beaten once.

>>2169026
FOUND IT. They also did most of the parks from the expansions and from the sequel. Can't check them out now, hopefully they're not shit.

http://www.mikeworleymusic.com/rct3/rct.html

>>2169489
Was that the uber splash boats strat?

>>2169510
That's the one, yeah.

>>2169339
Ís vidya valley really that hard?
I mean, alright $150,000 monthly ride income is a bit much, but can't you just build money factories?

>>2169637
Guest throughput, pricing power, capacity, etc are all issues. You can't drop the same thing fucking everywhere, you need something high excitement for a high price but that doesnt exclude half your guests. It needs to put guests through quickly. The guy who beat it did a shitload of testing and was only able to barely beat it with ridiculous quad synched splash boats. Roller coasters will not work and you must remember the 256 attraction limit.

>>2169643
So the guests are what makes it hard?
Also, I'd like to see those splash boats.

>>2169643
Also charge power falls with age, so even if you could beat it with coasters, you'd have to have a full park then clear out everything that brought those guests in and drop dozens of coasters at once.

>>2169647
The guy who did it posted a chronology of his research that I didnt save. It was basically just a set of 4 3-4 minute long splash boats with big drops. Splash boats get retarded excitement and can stuff in a lot of guests.

Actually, it might have been a self-synching single track design. I don't recall.

>>2169643
Don't forget that he ran into the issue of the game not being able to generate enough sprites to handle the mass traffic and rides.

>>2169279
A Gorrilian Dollars without thrill ride exploits
The Barrens
Final Destination

>>2169741
Does anyone have the info chart he made while beating it? That was some top-autism shit. Very interesting.

>>2169647
In before that one guy complains again.

WAIT I FOUND IT!

>>2169851
brilliant

>>2169826
>Quad Drop 2
>not Quad Drop 2 - Electric Boogaloo
You missed a golden opportunity there

I'm looking for some feedback on this swinging coaster. I tried to go with more helices and curves, while keeping fewer steep drops.

>>2170040
>that name

>>2169851
do you have a download of that fucking map. its beautiful

>>2170047
it should be in the /v/ pack mediafire link in the OP

This rollercoaster will inevitable be called "Rat's Nest" or something like that.

>>2170057
thanks blueball

I'm looking to get back into RCT after so many years. What's the best way to obtain a copy of RCT/RCT2?

>>2170346
GOG has them for cheap, also there's a torrent link in the OP if that's your thing.

>>2170232
your welcome anon

>>2169851
oh my god

>>2161232
Fukn love Locomotion

>>2170361
hey blueball. I had to do a fresh install of RCT2 and now Sonofabeast trainer won't work. 8cars works but not it. I use that shit to trick the guests to ride my deathcoasters and now im fucked. are there any other trainers that I can modify the excitement/intensity? I need it for my park asap

>>2169047
>Make the most badass rollercoaster in the smallest space
>Ride name> looks too intense for me!
Fuck this game, 16 years it's been telling me my limits

>>2170459
>Ride name> looks too intense for me!
Reminded me of those pictures where someone's renamed the ride something like "gay sex"

>>2170442
I only use 8cars. I guess your best bet is to roll back the save, or git good.

Does anyone remember that one faggot who was working on a park in BYOSF and started showing pictures of the entrance.

That was me. And now I have another problem.

What the fuck should I do with this opening part of the park? I tired to fill it in with flat rides, but that made it seem unatural.

The coaster kind of works, but I want to ditch it in favor of something else.

>>2170558
Hey, I remember you.

To be honest, the coaster you have there looks fine.
Personally, I would have started off with maybe a Kiddie Coaster or something right there, having it centered with the monorail station.
I would also put gardens in the middle of that large path on both sides of the coaster, but that's just me.

>>2170558
You have to put a rollercoaster somewhere. I'd also consider scenery/themed areas, like maybe a themed car ride, or even a food court.

>>2169643
>The guy who beat it

Yeah, that was me. Also, fuck Amplify. The bastard wouldn't shut up until I finally uploaded the damn boats.

>>2169826
That was also me.

>>2170737
Is Amplify even alive still?

I found this kid on youtube. jesus fucking christ he is talented

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XK5rJO-0izA

>>2170939
Did it take him 16 videos to get to that point?

>>2170947
I skipped a little but all in all yea. same park but he overhauled it around episode 5

>>2170947
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OkXqqoxT8Y

fuck a duck man. we need him for the general. I don't give a fuck if he is underage

>>2170969
Sounds like you're underage as well.

>>2170962
>spends 30 minutes dicking around
>rollercoaster construction is a timelapse at the very end

>>2170975
still he is detailed to shit. Iv not seen anything that fucking detailed in years

>>2170984
Oh yeah, the guy has a thing for scenery. I just thought he'd put more commentary into the coaster builds.

>>2170987
probably did it for time. by how long it took for him to make the hulk and big blue we'd be around episode 70

>>2170991
I suppose I'll save the channel and watch it on a rainy day.

>>2171005

ric, how big of a crush do you have on blueballed?

HAS BLUE WOOOOOOOOOed YOU RIC?

>>2170776
Hi. I'm mostly just playing EVE Online while listening to Frido/Posterfig/Atomik not do the no borders collab.

Having to dismiss rain with 8cars every five minutes while working in a sandbox is incredibly annoying.

What is wrong with the Four Coasters scenario?

>>2171503
Don't you mean Five?
Also, form what I've learned, one coaster isn't a coaster, so the scenario won't be completed when it is.

>>2171115
WHOOOOOOO

>>2171304
Don't worry, Posterfig will either get his shit together or become ded. If the second happens someone else will continiue even me if necesarry.

>>2170969

>>2171791
I will never die, no matter how much Amplify prophesies it.

>>2171791
>fun city

>>2171791
Pretty sure Scj is dead, though. He's had that last slot on that collab park for months now. I don't know if we'll see the finished product before I die of old age.

I don't know if it's worth throwing this humongous blob in my next track pack.

>>2172770
What is the latest save we have? I'm beginning to think it would be a good idea to always upload the save in case the next guy is half-ded long enough to surpass you.

>>2172770
If someone emails me the park as is now, I'd be happy to complete it, though I'm busy with study now so it'll be another 2 weeks before I can get round to it. Also the reason I haven't been posting, that and holidays

>>2172981
Don't, it's an I> E hypercoaster, and it's not very nice to look at.

>>2172981
Make a scenario and throw it in that instead. If people like it, they will save it. Plus everyone has another scenario to play as well.

>>2173006
I think it's maybe ThrowRug, if he's been around. I haven't heard from anyone under me on that collab list in a while.

Dammit the hexacollab park was never finished either, I was really looking forward to seeing that one.

>>2173649
I'll take another slot once I've finished the autism collab

>>2173649
I already was at the point of posting pic related. I decided to first write to Posterfig about about the freebuild collab.

So If anyone has saves of the current collabs just mail them to me and I' sort them to get us up and running again.

>>2173774
I'm still here. I'm always here. I don't remember what the idea I had in mind for that one was, and I've been kinda uninterested in the game lately, but I'd still like to have at it later.

>>2171007
>XD
Get the fuck out, faggot

>constantly on /vr/ct
>haven't ever actually participated in a collab
wh-what if I spill my spaghetti?

>>2174424
That's part of the fun. Every single slot has its perks. I forgot to set staff patrols in some of my slots, so they ended up as cesspools at the end of the collab.

Why are the expansion pack levels so fucking bad in this?

They eaither take so long that its boring, or are so complete you just don't know what the fuck to do anymore.

Mad kudos to whoever ported the original scenarios in, otherwise I would just dick around with the base game.

>>2174554
This is why custom scenarios are so goddamn essential... the base game scenarios in RCT2 are gimmicks and shit.

>>2174554
AGL.

Artificial Game Lengtheners. Most of the expansion pack scenarios make you sit and do nothing for sometimes hours before you can beat a single one. I know I'm not the only one who has left the game running and done something else in the meantime.

>Come back 30 minutes later
>Puke everywhere
>Park rating is 0 due to shitty path finding AI
>Every ride has crashed
>Objective is due in 2 months

I think I just inspired myself to make another scenario.

>>2174745
to be fair, when you are at least decent at this game, (which isnt a hard thing to be,) you wouldn't suffer from any of the things you complain about, save time.

git decent

>>2174254
>I'd still like to have at it later.
Alright, Then we'll leave it as it is. If you feel like dooing the part and Posterfig hasn't started by then you can swap places or something.

this park is a financial disaster
at least it looks kinda nice

anyone have tips for Iceberg Isles, want to beat it without cheating/terraforming too much.

>>2176505
Try to build over land more.

>>2176505
Don't worry about queue length so much unless you do constant advertisements/promotions and don't have enough rides to keep guests busy.

It leads to this, where one or two popular things get everyone, and the rest are barren. If the line is full, then guests will continue to another ride, if the line is long as shit but has an opening, then they'll sit there and wait. Consider the time they sit in line as time they aren't forking over cash to do other things.

For the archipelago maps, I try to take it slow until I can build up the capital for two 9E/4-7I/3-5N rides that I cycle promotion and reconstruction so they stay in the $15 range. Focus on keeping all your rides profitable, cull the old ones people don't ride and keep things organized so guests can follow a natural grid through your park. It looks like you either expanded too early or fast to the two other islands while the pirate ship, observation tower, and the spinners have nobody riding them on the original island.

>>2176505
git good scrub

>>2176505
flumes on ice bergs? brrrrrrr...

>>2176505

Try using only the first two icebergs and don't bother with the other. Also make sure to stay the hell away from the water. Building over water is extremely expensive and will drain your profits in no time. Just build small and tight.

>>2176505
This is what mine ended up looking like when I did it.

>>2177373
>>2177373
I just noticed how comically long the 8-car trains for the basic steel coaster look on a small track. There's that one in the middle of the park where the front car is at the bottom of the first hill and the last car of the train is still at the top. Silly.

>>2177373
So fucking boring, use some scenery to cover your attractions

>>2177593
>RollerCoaster Tycoon 1

>>2177598
This guy gets it, certainly you can't be this blind
Also RCT1 is still good but HOLY SHIT 2
SCENERY AND LANDSCAPING

guys, how do I gauge what a good level to set the entrance fee at in scenarios with free rides and an entrance fee? just started playing this today and am having a lot of trouble with finances, though also having a lot of fun

>>2179856
you will get a message saying that guests find your entrance fee very cheap (this isn't bad) in yellow text, its a god indicator to judge the entrance fee by.

make sure that the entrance fee isn't higher than what guests spawn with in their wallet, otherwise they can't get in.

Rumor has it that Cedar Point is planning on getting a vertical dive coaster in 2016.

>>2180024
source on this claim, sir?

>>2180136
Google dive coaster and a group of news articles is the first result. It's "trending" apparently.

>>2180163
Looks pretty much confirmed
das nice

>>2180316
Well, the rumors about Mantis being removed were partially true (since it's being switched to a floorless coaster). So I think it's going to happen.

>>2179930
I have it at £35 atm and haven't had any messages saying it's too low/high. I'm doing one of the ones where you have to get 1000 people in the park at once and it's proving tricky.

hi

>>2181986
Hello

these threads go way too slow

>>2182532
The general is nearly dead since a month or two ago. It used to be a new thread at least once a week. Now we're down to a few posts a day on average.

>>2182553
Well, more than a few, actually. This thread averages 15, though it seems worse as there are days of near silence.

>>2182553
>>2182532
I feel like we're going the same way as the City Building Generals. Although those are revived every year, usually when a new edition of the NAM mod gets released. RCT2 doesn't have mods like that.

>>2182553
>>2182558

this has happened before. i think we completely died for awhile at one point. its cool though, people get busy with school, work and i know that i burn myself out on the game after awhile.

eventually we'll get back into it, people will post pics and scenarios and we'll have a contest or two.

its the natural order of things.

>>2182565
Yeah, /vr/ct was dead for a while. The first incarnation died out after the collab parks stopped, and revived last year sometime.

In any news, I've been busy with real life shit, BUT I have about 30 tracks for my next track pack. Now I have to sort through them and see which ones are good enough to add to the pack. It'll include pretty much every design I've saved since September.

Here's all of the designs I'm putting in this pack. Some have scenery, others do not. There's a few in this screenshot that do come with scenery, but the workbench didn't have it selected.

And track pack. Feel free to let me know if anything is missing, it should have 20 tracks as well as a text file explaining what each one is. Constructive criticism is welcome. https://www.dropbox.com/s/t38t1svrqbfurs5/January%20Track%20Pack.rar?dl=0

>>2182532
They would go faster if we could git gud like the people on NE designs but we aren't autistic enough.

None of us into advanced buildings so there isn't much more to discuss.

>>2183359
We have our own little ciclejerk via skype. The problem with this sort of stuff is that it takes time. You don't get to discuss stuff verry often.

We neer more competitions to get this general active?

>>2183496
When was the least time Posterfig did something on the no borders anyway?

>>2183721
After I finished the mountain with alpine slide he did the spooky-swamp area. After that I did >>2183496
Which is the latest adition. Now its his turn again. At least he has a nice idea on what to build.

This kind of lift chain just feel like cheating to me. Nice meatballs tho

>>2184819
Two are using steep lifts and two are using spiral lifts. Theyre both realistic, though have to be done hackishly given the game implementation.

>>2184827
Yeah, I guess. But since the game implement it in the way it does it just look wrong to me.

>>2184897
I feel the same way. I try to keep my lift hills straight, and if I must curve them, I level the track off first.

>>2184819
>>2184897
>>2184925

i made one of those meatballs, and i agree. most of the time i try and make realistic coasters, but sometimes that isnt the point

I love this thread and this game and I love you guys. I know it's a little late, but you have a good last day of the weekend.

>>2185109
shit future man, its still saturday here in past land.

love you too though

Which is the wost kind of coaster and why is it the stand-up roller coaster?

>>2185961
Heartline twister.
Standups can at least look nice.

>>2185961
Hypercoaster, literally worse Giga.

>>2185961
It might seem bad, but then you have to realize that it was reskinned as the ostrich ride. Thanks, RCT2 expansions!

Thought this was cool, somebody remade Dynamite Blaster in NoLimits

>>2186001
I have to agree with this anon. Stand-up may be shit, but Heartlines are damn near impossible to make with E>I.

Anyone else just completely unable to appreciate their roller coasters unless they are threading every loop?

>>2186289
I only thread the loops if it's convenient.

someone post screenshots.

>>2186239
That's cool.

I always demolished that build when I was younger and tried to build something cooler myself. Obviously I failed every time but it was fun.

>>2186492
sure thing, pal

>>2186583
I want to have sex with that element

>>2186492
An oldie, but one of my favorites.

>>2186492

>>2186869
wonder what that soda stall sells

>>2186583
>>2186861
>>2186869
I love 'em, thanks guys. I can't build coasters very well myself but these are great.

I saw this screenshot posted ages ago and it really stuck with me. It's one of my favorites.

still my best woodie

Whoever put this in that one collab park: fuck you.

>>2186916
I didn't join that collab but wasn't that BlueBalled?

>>2186492
Posting an old one to add some life to the thread

>>2186904
Here, take another.

>>2186492
k. incoming some, OK stuff i hope. feedback always welcome if it applies

>>2186964
which isnt to say what i posted doesn't deserve criticism, im just a murrican who whatched a lot of hand egg today, and now i want to post some roller coaster tycoon stuff. i would love to play the game but i can ever make a good coaster while drunk

>>2186492

>>2186969
fun fact: i cant look this screenshot without hearing kathy ireland in my head. completing scenarios while watching/listening to mst3k is wonderful

>>2186981
>who whatched a lot of hand egg today
>tfw muh packers aren't going to the super game
oh well I don't even watch football anyway
I only cared because I'm from cheeseland

>>2186992
the pack played extremely well, im not a religious man, but for some reason russel decided to stop being awful. maybe god, maybe rodger goodell. i dont want no drama here, i just want pretty coasters. i have a lot of respect for the packers, who really were the better team for at least 56 minutes.

that being said, i hope /vrct/ doesnt die this year.

but if it does, fear not, it will return when it needs too.

>>2186906
45 degree out n backs are pretty cool, yeah. Just wish custom supports would work with them.

I recently got back into this game and started messing around on Extreme Heights. The last time I played RCT was back in high school over 10 years ago, and the memories come flooding back.

I never used scenery much when I played before, so I decided to give it a shot. It's a mind-numbing process.

>>2187294

>>2187297

>>2187301

>>2187294
>that broken bench
Shamefur dispray!

>>2187297

I guess I have it in me to forgive you. Quite nice scenery anon.

>>2187303
>>2187301
>>2187297
>>2187294
Mind-numbing, yes, but you're hella good at it.

>>2186935
No, I had a different slot in that park.

Here's a concept I made a while back, which ended up being one of the features of my Spooktober park.

And this is how it ended up looking. I never figured out how to get the trains to line up like this every time.

>>2187581
i remember that, it was quite cool.

>>2187576
Did anyone even see what I did with my main coaster back then?

>>2187390
Fuck I was hoping no one would notice, but now I'm noticing the broken litter bin in the second pic. My park is a shithole

>>2187757
You know what it's time for, turn your park into a fascist regime with 250 security guards! Show them anarchists who's the boss.

>>2187294
>>2187297
That ain't the work of any beginner I've ever seen, far too good for that.

>>2187797
>turn your park into a fascist regime
Threadly reminder that this has actually been done before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HLzsgBAvWo

>>2187817
Jesus Christ lol. Now I have something to do tonight except playing RCT2.

>>2187294
>>2187297
>>2187301
>>2187303
I've been feeling uninspired for ages but these are making me want to play RCT again

>>2187902
There we go.
We will get it done this year.

>>2187931
>linkages as long as the cars
>banked station platform
wat

>>2187797
That's kinda how the third pic is, with a security guard in every 4-tile zone. I did this because everything in the area kept getting vandalized while I was working in another area. Turned out that there was a single tile that wasn't covered by a handyman that was just piled up with fried chicken buckets.

>>2187810
I always used to just build big coasters, never done scenery on a massive scale. I never knew about the Ctrl key before, so I had a bad time.

>>2187959
i wonder how many of us learned about the Ctrl key from these threads

between me and you there are at least 2, but im pretty sure ive seen it mentioned a few other times in the past.

>>2187968
I discovered it from that Megapark dude which I found via a link in this thread.

Anyone brave enough to ride?

>all these screenshots being posted
Glorious. I haven't played much at all since I finished my spooktober park but I'll keep the train rolling with my pirate park that I plan on finishing soon.

>>2187294
>>2187297
I love these 2, especially the 4d coaster and all of the interactions it has

>>2187713
I really liked that coaster. Definitely had me confused until I checked what was going on

>>2188045
havent seen anything like that before, kudos

>>2187968
what does the control key do

>>2187968
I-I did too

I only knew about shift

>>2188272
Snaps scenery pieces to the height of the scenery piece your cursor is pointing at. Hold it to keep it at that height.

>>2188121
I love the way this looks. It's very dense and combines several object themes very well. In particular I like the barrels used as support columns.

Also, thanks! 4D coasters are particularly special to me. Back in high school when RCT2 first came out, there was an official contest to design a 4D coaster. I ended up winning the top prize for my age group: a free trip to a park of my choice (I chose Cedar Point because Top Thrill Dragster had just opened), a decent PC, and most importantly of all, an RCT pinball machine.

>>2188272
>>2188275
When mousing over a path/track/object, holding down Ctrl will allow you to place pieces at the same elevation. You can hold down Shift while still holding Ctrl to adjust from that elevation as well.

I didn't know that before either, and building scenery made me hate my life.

>>2188324
Damn, I'm jelly.

>>2188324
thats awesome. i have to imagine that is a pretty rare pinball machine, i know ive never heard of rct pinball before. i have a feeling this is a very long shot, but you wouldnt happen to have any screens of your winning coaster would you?
i guess all these threads need is for a few people to get scared that it will die, and then tons of rad content gets posted. keep it up buddies

>>2188462
Most of that wave was reposts for the sake of content.

>>2188324
That sounds like a $1000+ grand prize from a track design contest in the childrens league. The shit?

There've been 76 unique posters in this thread, it's hardly dying. Chill down and keep posting coasters.

>>2188324
Was this custom made or actually licensed and mass produced?

And why the hell is there a troll in it?

>>2188492
That's over the course of 15 days.

I just built this, quite cozy. I've begun playing again quite recently and back in the day I hardly used any scenery so I'm quite new to this. Forgot to cap stats, I'm quite happy with them considering it's medium size.
E: 6,01
I: 5,35
N: 3,71

>moot don't support .bmp
Dickhead.

I'm shameless enough to rehash my new element screens...

>>2188509
Looks nice.

>>moot don't support .bmp
Because it's shit. Pic related.

>>2170442

SoB is the only one i think that will change stats

>>2188509
That's a nice junior coaster. Can we get the track file with scenery?

Screenshot train keeps going.

>>2188571
Sure thing.
https://www.mediafire.com/?w37n4f1qir15awq

>>2188462
>>2188504
The machine was produced by Stern Pinball. I remember seeing one at an arcade in one of the Las Vegas casinos once. It's pretty fun, but nowhere near as awesome as the NASCAR pinball machine.

Sadly, I don't have the track file. All of the winning entries used to be on the RCT2 website, but it no longer exists.

The troll is for two of the minigames, Dunk the Dummy.and Super Dunk. It just bounces up and down.

>>2188476
http://www.ign.com/articles/2002/10/15/intel-and-infogrames-to-find-the-ultimate-tycoon
That's basically all it was. There were three grand prizes, one for each age group. Apparently, first prize winners also got the pinball machine.

A flyer for the contest came with every retail copy, so I thought I didn't have a chance in hell of winning. Needless to say, I freaked the fuck out when I got the letter saying that I won.

>>2188517
>77.33% decrease
AAAAAAHHHHH

"(1 - percentage) * original value" is an abhorrent convention.

>>2188586
So you're the motherfucker that won the pinball machine?

>>2188586
>roller coaster board game
Anyone have any intel on this? Is it fun?

>>2188517
Because .bmp files are huge and inconvenient for imageboards

>>2188589
Please don't hurt me D:

>>2188591
I dunno. It looks like shit, though I still probably would've loved to have one

>>2188516
I remember seeing this one, nice ncso. I love the queue coverings

>>2188586
Found them on the Wayback Machine. Surprised the download link still worked. Trans-DV8 is my favorite of the bunch just because of how the trains meet in the elements. Definitely stealing that idea.
http://web.archive.org/web/20030718190232/http://rollercoastertycoon2.com/

>>2188591
I actually have the board game! I've only played it a few times, but it was a lot of fun. Now it's sort of a collector's item and doesn't see any play.

>>2188516
>those angled posts over the queue line
That's fucking neat, I never thought of doing that. It looks just like a bunch of lamps.

>>2188626
Awesome. I gotta agree with you about Trans-DV8 being the best.

Jesus fuck.
The music won't stop.
I hear it in my head
The fucking merry-go-round has ruined my brain

>>2188669
And now it's playing in my head. Good thing its brilliant.

>>2186989
now run it

>>2188626
Nice! Jeremy Q from Jasper, TX is me, and Firestorm was my coaster. I forgot how much I loved using diagonal track.

I remember Trans-DV8 being my favorite as well. Such a clever use of the block sections.

>>2188714
good stuff guy. congrats

now make more scenery because you definitely have an eye for it

Finally managed to make a duelling woody.

>>2189024
>turn in the middle of a chain lift
you faggots keep doing this and it makes me mad every time

>>2189027
It saves space and allows nicer looking routes and more block spaces.
I can understand the anger with it being potentially impossible in real life, but a twisting coaster would be the only thing it'd be justified in.

>>2189027
You can have steeper lift hills in real life if you want such a freakishly tall woody.

>>2189027
I kinda agree but I prefer the solution in >>2189024 over keeping the hill and turning. Sometimes you have to do it if you want to build a big woody that's not shaped like a snake.

>>2189027
>It's okay when Disney does it!

>>2189027
There are rollercoasters in real life that level off after a lift hill, turn, and then start another lift hill.

Is there any point in buying the game on GoG or Steam? Does anyone relevant get money?

>>2189332
No, but Steam records your playtime which is kind of nice.

>>2189361
I don't know if I want people to know how much time I spend playing Roller Coaster.

>>2189517
I remember the day they added that feature to Counter Strike Source. I got a little nauseous when I saw it

Ok, I'm playing scenarios and have a old 3D cinema that literally no one queue for anymore, is the only way for it to regain some popularity to rebuild it? Lowering the price don't seem to matter.

>>2189669
That's what I do

phew kinda getting burnt out on this. I'll probably take a break from this and come back to it.

Guess the theme

>>2190008
mah nigga

>>2190008
Would you look at that.

>>2189361
You can just get Raptr if you really want game time recorded. No, I'm not sharing how long I've played this game for.

>>2188045
>8g

It's fiiiiine.

>>2190120
dude i must know. please share

Oh well, while the average person will most likely pass out but everyone on the ride should survive. Big deal.

>>2191171
The link doesn't actually work, the download never starts.

Started making min effort coasters, dunno why this is so satisfying.

>>2191421
Thanks doc.

>>2191635
I know what you mean

>yfw Atari killed RCT with microtransactions
>yfw Chris will never again have a say in the direction of the series he built

>>2191820
Well, World looks promising at least.

>>2191820
I don't know, can a mobile game kill a PC series?

So, does anyone know if RCT2 will run at all on a Windows 7? Trying to get back into the series, so I foolishly bought the steam version of RCT Deluxe, and it refuses to run on my computer. Didn't know if anyone was running into similar issues.
Also, I've never played 2. Is it as GOAT as I hope it will be?

>>2191963
RCT2 with map downloads is pretty goddamn good. Get the GOG release, or pirate it first to see if it works. It should run, I haven't had issues with it besides the occasional error trapper. I'm on Windows 7.

>>2191963
Make sure you only have one installation
Usually helps to put it in a root directory and not in any Windows made directory.

You can make a Steamlibrary folder anywhere so you can still use it to launch.

>>2191972
>>2191967
Thanks!

Is there a mod for RCT2 that gets rid of that fucking toilet flush sound?

>>2192026
fucking lol

>>2192026
have the animated version as a free gift to you, friend

>>2192026
Don't pause the game and you wont have to hear it so much.

>>2192081
I shouldn't be hearing it at all. What fucking toilet can be heard from like 300 feet in the air with a whole amusement park going on?

>>2192083
toilets that 10-12 people can use simultaneously

>>2192083
Toilet flushes are louder than giggles for sure.

>>2191635
>>2191718

>>2192026
It's worse when you forget to activate bathrooms as a starter in a custom scenario, and 150 people in a tiny park flush at the same time

>>2192219
do I like this?
does it disgust me?
I cannot tell

>>2192219
This is just... perfect

Here's another one, 100% original design, do not steal

>>2192518
Fuck, I even chuckled.

>>2192518
>he's happy
Meh, unrealistic

>>2192326
>>2192325
>>2192318
What's so hard to understand? He just made it a powered launch with 8cars

>>2192317
I think he made a quarter loop or the direct steep to level transition piece, moved the construction tool back one piece, deleted, and left that floating and completed it.

>>2192317
This kicks ass. The floating bit in the middle is a stroke of genius.

Gentlemen, behold! I present Giga Wood! Still working on the stats...

>>2193372
No offence BlueBalled, but that looks like fucken shit lol

>>2193372
Don't have such a stupidly long drop at the start, that fucks up your stats and wastes energy for other parts of the track.

>>2193402
>>2193414
Alright, you guys do a giga woodie, then.

>>2193434
I don't play in cheat scenario mode. :^)

>>2193434
Define giga woody and I'll do it before this thread die :)

>>2193434
I'd merge in twister steep-flat track and disguise in in support scenery.

>>2193456
Wooden coaster with 300 foot drop.

Fucking around

>>2193538
what's even going on here?

>>2193560
4 station powered launch. Abuse multistation stat calculation with short ride times for high throughput.

>>2193560
Took me a while to figure out but after the two s-turns the track just go behind the station. I think

>>2193538
Oh god I'm so confused.

>>2193560
>>2193579
>>2193619
Look at the supports you dinguses.

>>2193560
>>2193619
The cobra roll exits under the uppermost station's exit/entrance.
Instead of the heartline roll connecting to the leftmost station's exit (it's on the wrong z-plane), it exits into a hill to the right, looping back around to meet said station at the proper entrance.
Everything else shouldn't be ambiguous.

>>2192317

>>2193728
Now make some more and connect them with banked turns

I bring to you: The most exciting race ever conceived by man!

But wait, that's not all!
With the addition of some choice scenery it gets even better. That's a $10,000 dollar value, yours FREE

>>2193923
>>2193924

>>2193925
Two levels, ten laps, twenty-one contestants, only one winner

Mango Muncher IS shit tier. It has no redeeming features besides being rekatively cheaper thannother prebuilts. It's also lazy.

What's the best type of coaster to make in the early game?

>>2194621
Giga, without a doubt.

>>2194626
Don't underestimate minigigas, anon.

>>2194626

Been in a pretty bad creative slump lately, bumping with something that's at least new if nothing else.

>>2194632
Shall we hold a competition, best Giga for sub 6k?!

>>2194741
I like it. It's a pretty good looking woodie.

>>2194751
<6000 including or not including paths and scenery?

>>2194761
Maybe two separate categories, one including one without?

Also, one of my favorite custom coasters is almost identical to that one, it's neat.
