second for spooky burial grounds

I'm really proud of this coaster for some reason

xth for lazy coasters

4th for error trappers
This is your reminder to save often.

>>2345907
these are why I still believe in satan

>>2345886
>mfw I tried to copy this coaster
Jesus christ, took me like 30 minutes to get it right. That darn quarter loop is sneaky as fuck.

You'd think I'd be able to spot that after like 8 years of playing this game but nope. Anyway, I like it.

>>2345886
Dang.. That looks sexy as fuck, I should be using more diagonal tracks

>>2345886
>lazy
I don't think it's a lazy design at all. You have a great core element, the simplicity of the coaster put focus on it and make the coaster feel more natural than some 2000m long track clusterfuck. Sure, it's slightly short and you could possibly add a helix or two but I love the general idea.

>>2345938
Heh, same. It was first when I noticed that the loop is only two tiles wide that I made the connection.

I've been trying to get a helix through a loop and around something else (lift hill, drop, whatever) for around an hour. Shit just doesnt work.

Take a look at this lovely new coaster design I made.

Instead of working on that collab, sorry.

>>2345886
>1 min: 25 seconds
just how slow does the train go on the curve on top of the lift hill?

>>2346024
Too goddamn slow. Which is why it would be easy to make an objectively better coaster.

>>2345886
>1min:25secs

>>2346020
>1min:13secs

wat

>>2346037
Faster lift hill, probably.

>>2346037
the second one probably has a higher lift speed

>>2346020
All turns are too the right

>>2346060
I'm aware of that but I don't feel like that's a problem when only one of the turns is an actual element, the others are just transportation. Am I wrong?

>>2345876
that helix section at what I'm guessing is the beginning after the vertical drop looks really nice

>>2346005
I don't get it, looks good to me.

>>2345886
>>2346020
Does banking that first turn affect the stats? I tend not to bank the first curve out of the station because it's moving so slow and I think it looks silly

>>2346305
I doubt it, I did it because I had one hell of a time actually copying anons coaster so I did the whole thing piece by piece and then I left it that way.

>>2346305
I think those turns are banked solely so they can be helixes

>>2346312
Oh I didn't realize it was a helix, thanks

>>2346313
Also, the first version could possibly run several circuits in which case it would be necessary.

First time posting a park here. I wanted to build a park out of only compact coasters, and I think I did all right. I mostly focused on rides and didnt really do much scenery. Some of them probably aren't truly "compact," but none of them exceed 3000 feet in length. I'm gonna post four more close-up pictures but I'm not gonna take a screenshot of every coaster to post. If you want a better view or to see stats of a specific coaster,let me know and I'll take a pic. C&C welcome and wanted.

>>2346325

ouch my eyes

Sending my Hexacollab park rite now.

This park give crash every 5 seconds, cant work it...

No screenshots, its a surpriseeeee

>>2346327
The wooden coaster with track running through its loop looks pretty good.

>>2346523
Im on mobile and about to go to sleep, so ill post a pic of that tomorow. Its the most popular ride in the park and hits about 8.3 excitement.

>>2346325
Holy shit anon that is so cool
I want to see them all

>>2346063
Imagine riding that coaster irl, i think it would really be annonying if they all go to the same side

>>2346217
I think he is trying to get 2?

In other news; booted up for the first time in years and made myself a mini park.

I think I should never be left incharge of a park again.

>>2346513
I had a few error trappers when I worked on that map.

Here's a looping coaster I stuck into a corner of Crazy Castle.

So, I'm still new to this collab business
I just, like, wait?

Sorry if I'm being a total wuss about it, it's just
It was so easy

Wooden coasters are always fun to build.

>>2346885
Whoops, they're even more fun when images work.

>>2346887

>>2346889
and a tiny garden park

>>2346885
Indeed they are. They are aesthetically pleasing to the eye as well. Here's a wooden coaster I made in Evergreen Gardens (RCT1) to help fill up the empty space.

>>2346874
Yeah, when the third person has done their part they will Email you the file.

Until then, you wait, or bitch about how long the others are taking if it's been two weeks.

>>2346915
That is a very sexy coaster.

>>2346891
Simply lovely.

>>2346523
>>2346563
And here it is. I didnt realize loops had enough room for track to run through twice, but they do.

>>2346649
Im not gonna post em all, but I'll post my favorites. You've already seen two, but here are some more.

1/6, a couple of dualies

>>2347687
2/6, a vertical drop coaster.

>>2347695
Another woodie. There was no good angle to take this picture at, unfortunately.

>>2347697
4/6, My personal favorite aesthetically.

>>2347698
5/6, the third woodie.

>>2347702
6/6, a mine train coaster that turned out surprisingly well.

>>2346976
Thanks! Anyways, going to post some of the other roller coasters I have in the park.

1/4 - Looping coaster named after spring.

>>2348060
2/4 - Stand-up coaster named after summer.

>>2348063
3/4 - Corkscrew coaster named after autumn.

>>2348065
4/4 - Bobsled coaster named after winter.

I felt like a four seasons theme would fit Evergreen Gardens very nicely.

>>2348060
2/4 - Stand-up coaster named after summer. Forgot to include stats.

CAPTCHA: Boom

>>2348086
3/4 - Corkscrew coaster named after autumn. Forgot to include stats again.

>>2348091
4/4 - Bobsled coaster named after winter. Forgot stats... again.

Went with a four seasons theme because I thought it would fit Evergreen Gardens very nicely.

>>2346742
>those noodly-ass coasters
what hath God wrought

>>2348091
>ending the coaster with a half-loop+corkscrew into the station
Loving it.

>>2348520
I love it too!

>thred this ded

is it possible to make a good lay-down coaster? I've been trying shit for an hour and I can't get excitement above 4

>>2349895
That's odd, because I've always seen lay-down and flying coasters as super easy to get 6 excitement from. Post some screens?

>>2349915
none of them survived, I rage-deleted every attempt. Mostly had sweeping turns and helixes, no inversions. Should I just make it like a regular corkscrew or try to be original?

>>2349921
Think outside of the box. Lay-downs and flying coasters let you alternate between traditional and inverted track.

>>2349932
should I do the same with multi-dimension coasters? I always found those hard as fuck to build when i was a kid

>>2349949
multi-dimension coasters are just stupid in general

>>2349949
Sure. You have the option, so why not go with it?

>>2349952
I've never understood why most multi-dimension coasters have that one dip before the first major drop.
They're weird.

>>2349964
a lot of coasters have those

They're there for a couple reasons. They make the coaster disengage from the chain entirely before descending down the first drop, making it so the front of the train doesn't "hang" down the hill. That way everyone on the coaster experiences the entire hill at speed, not just the back.

It also keeps the chain from wearing out as quickly, since the chain doesn't get pulled on by the weight of the train hanging down the drop.

>>2349964
I build that in most of my coasters, some air time before the drop feels good.

Hey guys, relative noob here. Any tips for how an what I could have done better? I know I haven't expanded to the cack of the park yet but I'm working on the cash flow first. I'm a complete imbecile when it comes to decorations and themeing so I haven't bothered yet.

What I'm mainly asking is are my rollercoasters considered eyesores?

(Template is Bumbly Beach; Big Dipper the White Wooden was like that when I got there.

>>2350628
And here is my Park

>>2350630
The side friction and junior are fine but everything else is pretty weird.

>>2350628
>>2350630
Having a station suspended high up in midair hardly ever looks good. I get why you've got some of your coasters set up like that (I, however, don't know why you couldn't just place your Twist on the ground) but if you want your park to look good without dealing with scenery too much keep your stations on the ground.

>>2350805
Thanks for the advice man. I put the twist there because I was trying to cram in as much as possible to get maximum cash flow to start me off.

Would it be better for the mouse and rapids to get a better station?

>>2350796
Anything in particular?

>>2350817
Floating rapids (they pretty much require landscaping and scenery to not look bad), a small loop placed so high is strange and the return to the station after it is really janky, the steeplechase is completely flat (I'm surprised it is an effective boring gentle ride), The negative g hump at the top of the shuttle is unnatural, and the mouse is just madness.

>>2349895
You can manage decent ratings but the few I've made always seem huge on nausea.

>>2350817
>Would it be better for the mouse and rapids to get a better station?
In my experience passengers don't mind having to go up on a chainlift at the start of a ride, so it's at least worth it to experiment with putting your stations on the ground and seeing what it does with your coaster's stats, ride time and income efficiency.

>>2350826
Cheers for the advice the loop coaster was just one I added in quick; it was one I saved from a map where I had zero room to build.

I'm not too sure how to build a Mouse coaster out in the open with no scenery without it looking like shit; I'm probablt going to add scenery to make it an indoors type of ride.

The inverted I was trying to build against the corner of the map and that was the best I could come up as going to the side would have tipped me over the edge of the park and net me the can't build message.

The Horse Ride is from the gentle category and can''t be elevated. I actually forgot it was there to be honest.

>>2350854
Make the mouse coaster as compact as possible. Coasters made of wood have a hard time being eyesores.1

I want to start using CSO, what workbench should I use?

>>2350840
This is beautiful.
bad neighborhood to be a bench in though

I'm trying to train my scenery game a bit, so I thought, hey, why not build a small park?
I went with a playing card theme and I might've fucked up already by making the squares way too tiny.
Each square has one ride so far, and I've built a junior in the harts square.

Criticism/ideas/anything else to say would be greatly appreciated.

>>2352626
Good effort, but very boring.
I would adivice you to just go all out, and see where you end, this is a great way to get familiar with the builder.

>>2352626
make something like this

>>2352658
Shit stats on the coaster, did not vote for.

>>2352671
hi Blueballed

>>2352683
I'm Amplify.

>>2352684
(^: xD :-) :^)

>>2352658
oh that is totally within my abilities thank you

>>2352656
gee, thanks
Got any ideas yourself, other than "lol fuck around a bit see what happens"?

>>2352626
Good effort, it's a cute park. I'd probably use more trees and small bushes to fill out the empty spaces, also more fences always look good. And maybe a small building, they always make parks look real.

>>2352797
calm down dawg, it's perfectly valid criticism. by fucking around you'll develop more creatively and run across new ideas, so just try it.

Was at Holiday Park again. Only got to ride the EGF 2 times. Not realy satisfying when I think back to my 17 rides last visit. I got there late and they had some difficulties with the restraints.
But I took a little selfmade barometer&datalogger with me. Pic related is what I could read out so far.

>>2353178
is that altitude over time?

>>2352626
Starting a helix right after a lift has always looked silly to me.
But I like the hedges around the paths, and the coaster is cute. I think it's always valid advice to start small and work your way up, so maybe add another themed area, but with larger rides.

>>2346742
>Update
Send help, my eyes won't stop bleeding.

Does anyone here play RCT3?

>>2353706
Hiss

>>2353707
What? How is RCT3 inferior to RCT2 and 1??

Please please explain

>>2353712
RCT3 is allowed, but most people play RCT2 here because RCT2 lets you share parks, scenarios, and custom scenery easily.

>>2353697
replace all your old rides with new ones. save track design, demolish and rebuild

>>2353712
I personally have a massive hate for rct3. It is everything that's wrong with corporate buyouts and shekel grabbing in the game industry, plus the non-isometric gameplay and retarded new graphics ruined it

>>2353712
it's not as comfy
And they changed the physics engine a bit.
And they changed the rating system a lot.

>>2353496
jea, The altitiude is calculated from air pressure.
I improved my visualiation a bit, one blue line equals 5 meters. It seems to be a bit imperfect as the actual hight is 53m and not 57m.

>>2354160 The ground might be 4m above sea level if you are measuring pressure.

>>2354528
Of course, the pressure also changes with weather. I just took the straight line at the start and end as my 0m mark. But the highest point is a bit more than 11 lines over that. With 5m each line that is over 55m.
Just for clarity, the lowest line you see in the picture is not 0m but -5m.

>>2353830
Can't you just erase a section of track and redo it? OR does that only work in RCT ?

>>2354972
Nope, not in RCT2. I'm not sure if that even works in RCT1 with expansions.

>made a fan Facebook page for rct years ago
>it's still getting likes

Fuck university mang.

But It doesnt matter you guys are awesome, final result is amazing. You must send it to NE.

Post rides you'll never get to make in Roller Coaster Tycoon, but really wish you could.

>>2357438
just watched a video of this. that is a kickass coaster

>>2357438

>>2357438
oh hai.

>>2357020
Was just about to pop in and see what kinds of collabs are going on, and then this.

You've sure done it now, guys.

>>2357549
>>2357438
Anything with an inclined loop, really.

>>2357294
>>2357298
It's a challenge scenario to get as many guests in one year as possible. Why is this so hard to understand?

>>2357825
It's hard to understand why there's 20 of these goddamn things.

>>2357854
It's even harder to understand why there's over 100 sandbox scenarios with no real purpose that other landscapes don't already provide.

>>2357860
>>2357854
Sandbox scenario as in literally just a flat surface?

Why can't you make your own with your own preferred rides?

>>2357873
Depends on the scenery and ride selection. Somethimes it's an easy way to get new custom stuff.

how do you guys get gewd at buildings? They're just raised ground paths and fences right?

>>2358428
RCT1 buildings are made using the land tool, and sometimes paths. RCT2 buildings are made with walls and base blocks.

anyone have any input on using openrct vs running the exe through wine in linux? just installed openrct2 but I still need the actual game so I'm not seeing a point

The 4/20 No Borders stream is up for those who missed, or wish to revisit, the dank. Big props again to everybody who worked on the park for the past 2 years.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfcJpQSW6rI

This will almost certainly get content ID'd in a couple of countries

>>2358962
why did this take two years?

>>2358973
laziness, bureacracy and weed :^)

>>2358973
>why did this take two years?
We got like 2/3rds of the park done in around two months or so, then Segfault & Ridnarhtim (whose turn was up next) died unexpected deaths when their turns were up next and before anybody new could be recruited for the project once it was determined they weren't coming back (since they didn't see fit to tell us) these threads died off entirely and left just myself and Atomik to hold down the fort so the project looked abandoned for a very long time.

Eventually, these threads were resurrected and I found them and somebody held a park building competition. Fridolin and Hemicentetes did some very impressive jobs on their parks so I invited them to come work on the park and get the project restarted because I wasn't about to just give up because of a little setback. Hemi did half a part and then also died, not giving us the courtesy of telling us he wasn't coming back so he was eventually replaced with Posterfig who took almost as long per part as a dead person.

He did eventually get his parts done along with Fridolin though, with the final one being completed on the 2nd anniversary of when ground was broken on the park and we all first began.

>>2359426
Thinking about it now, there was also another guy in the very early days of the park (first week) who went 4th or 5th, did a really crappy job (it was a metal box building with a coaster haphazardly going through it with next to no scenery), didn't want to change it / was very resistant to change so in the end we booted him off and carried on without him after reverting his changes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMSi8fGfrG0

>>2359498
I always liked that video, but I can see how it clashes with the rest of the No Borders park.

so how long does one collab entry usually take?

>>2359642
Depends on what kind of collab and who's doing it.

>>2359671
The newest 2x2, starting with Narc.

>>2359689
It depends. He's taking his time with the first slot.
But every person should take a day or two at most with their slots, and a week at most.

finding an easy solution for being unable to select a piece of scenery is now lazy.

Is there a way to right-click and drag in RCT2 using the window hack? Or do I have to use the fullscreen mode do drag?

>>2362753
Right-click dragging works for me no problem, with the window hack too.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-SGIdaBChs

>>2362782
For me, the scenario just spazzes and goes towards the edge of the map whenever I right-click and drag. It happens no matter what.

xtreme coasters for xtreme kids

>>2363496

>not going all out and giving it inversions

Come on, why even bother with twister coaster track?

>>2363537
looks like vertical drop coaster track to me. There are no sprites for a loop I guess but that would be the same for the vertial and steep drops.

>>2363578
Vertical drop coasters can do small loops.

>>2363589
sure. I ment steplechases don't have sprites for it. Same goes for steep and vertical drops though.

>>2361546
Sorry for taking so long time, my only excuse is that I'm a lazy asshole and a perfectionist.

I made two drafts last weekend but were not happy with any of them. I'll have time to play tonight so hopefully I'll get done with it, otherwise I promise I'll be done before sunday.

>>2363637
Oh no I meant welp as in I have to get it done within a week.

Also it's fine, take your time, I'm in last anyway.
It's just my first collab and all that

>>2345863
A note about the UCES download.

Apparently the DRAGON.DAT objdata file in there is not only unneeded, it's corrupt. That should probably be removed from the zip.

>mfw i just realized you can use shift-click to place scenery and buildings

>>2364383
Welcome to the future, anon.
try holding down ctrl, shit will blow your mind

>>2364389
Is doing this underground thing a bad idea?

ctrl-click didn't do anything for me

>>2364457
Guests will get lost.

>Point at something
>Press and hold ctrl
>Move mouse
Whatever you where building is at the hight of what you whrere pointing at.

>>2364457
>ctrl-click didn't do anything for me
Where you do it is important. Namely, hover over an existing piece of scenery first then keep holding ctrl.

>>2364467
so I should at least put a regular footpath back up to the surface? lame

>>2364472
Generally, closed loops away from the main path system are a very bad idea. Guests don't see transport rides as means to get places, so if one guest decides to head for the mini golf while underground, they'll be stuck until they give up, and by then, they'll be bored and probably hungry.
As more guests do this, they make it more crowded, and crowds make guests angry, and after a while you have a large flock of angry, tired people wandering around ruining the area for anyone else.
You should never intentionally trap guests like that if you want a good park rating.

how does one properly jewkart?

>>2364727
Build the shortest possible track that allows for the maximum number of karts. Set the number of laps to 1. Crank the price up to around $8.00. Repeat a million times.

>>2364731
christ almighty this is ridiculous

>>2364745
Make the queue and the station shorter, then build more.

>>2364747

>>2364747
[chaching intensifies]

>>2364785

>>2364785
Compare the profits of all the rides and you'll find the longest platform has the highest money intake. Scam karts with a station 2 tiles long are pretty much useless unless you have no space left.

So, what's actually the point of trainers?

>>2366874
Lets you do things you can't do normally, mostly by letting you place scenery in other scenery and combine/replace track types.

Uh, guys...

What the actual fuck; How does this actually work?

They can't seriously want to spend money for the same ride class. And $10 for 1 lap?

>>2367540
Its not hard at all tbh, if you go to the right the left track will have the longer turn, if you got the left the right track will have the longer turn.
This way you have to even out your track.

>>2367765
Well, I know that, and I try to make an even amount of left/right turns. What I meant is that it's hard to come up with a good layout based on this.

I've been having a lot of fun adding new coasters to previously completed scenarios.

>>2367663
It is NOT $10 for one lap. It's $10 for eight laps.

>>2367540
Coloring could be so much better. I want to do colored ride now.

So I just learned of Gwazi's existence. It may be the most beautiful woodie I've ever seen and they've just decommissioned it. How sad.

>>2368221
It looks beautiful, but trust me, the ride sucked ass.

>>2368242
Yeah, the POV I watched looked rather boring. Still, those curves and flythroughs.

>>2368242
Yeah, rode it last year, and even with the new trains it sucked. Not very much in the way of forces, and it shakes more than someone with Parkinsons. And on top of that they've only been running one side for a while now, which removes the only good thing it had going for it. Florida is cruel to woodies, and I'm not surprised that it's going away.

>>2368221

Holy shit, Gwazi isn't even that old. I think I did ride it once. It did really have that 'the thrill comes from thinking this shit is going to fall apart at any moment' ricketiness to it. Ah well, this gone, the Dania Beach Hurricane has been gone for some time now. Wooden coasters are a bitch.

>>2368468
Most places wooden coasters are fine, but Florida fucking hates them. Humid, hot, and prone to having fucking hurricanes come in just in case they thought they'd be fine. Wears the wood down quicker than in other states, if the large groups of tourists weren't doing enough already.

dueling coasters are fun. What should I name these two?

>>2368468
Diana Beach Hurricane is still standing, but it hasn't taken passengers in over three years.

On the other hand, compact coasters aren't my strong suit. Can't seem to shake the nasty g forces on this thing no matter what I do.

>>2368669
You have corkscrews at no more than 2 lateral gs. Inverted coasters are just unduly poor.

>>2368669
That's... pretty average for a very small inverted coaster, actually.

>>2368678
damn shame, they're such nice looking coasters.

did my best to make it look pretty. Tips on scenery for queue lines/exits?

>>2368526
Holy crap, is that impulse coaster actually functional? That's awesome.

>>2368896
yep, it works! only way i could get it to fit was with a 1-tile station platform.

>>2368758
Why did you manually cover the station instead of setting it to abstract theme?

>>2368950
I wasn't really thinking about station themes at the moment, also I'm doing an all-black theme on my coasters and the abstract station has gray metal beams on it which bothered my autism.

>>2368961
Bothered it more than the brick and red shingle entrance/exit?

>>2368985
Hence me asking for advice on queue line scenery. I tried covering it with steel walls and blocks but it was way too tall and ugly so I just left it exposed for now.

>>2368990
I'd probably build a quite big building there, maybe incorporate a food court or another ride. I like your station, it looks better than just setting the coaster to abstract theme.

>>2346871
Just realized nobody commented on this. I like this coaster a lot

>>2369008
Maybe something like what I did with Metal Rain, I snuck a gokart track under there as you can see in the corner of the impulse coaster screenshot.

>>2368682
>>2368678
I used to think RCT was just biased against inverted coasters, but then I went on the Raptor at Cedar Point. It's the most intense coaster I've ever been on. Still a very fun ride, but holy shit, you need to sit down after one ride on that monster.

>>2369503
Even a B&M one? A Vekoma, sure, but damn.

>>2369503
I dunno, there are a lot of inverts that are as smooth as any above-rails B&M coaster.

Dorney Park's Talon, for example.

>>2369505
>>2369506
No, Raptor is a B&M. It's not a rough intensity, it's a smooth intensity. The ride pulls some crazy forces through the loops and other inversions. And it's one right after another.

>>2369513
I'd agree that the Batman clones and Raptor are very intense rides, but honestly those stem from the tight layout of Batman and the age of Raptor.

Talon, Montu, Alpengeist, and a lot of others aren't any more intense than any other given B&M with inversions.

Trying to remake coasters in rct is pretty entertaining, really shows how limited rct is though.

Forgot my image dammit.

>>2369724
you're making me want to go to Cedar Point more

Do we have any swedes or people who have lately visited Sweden in the thread? Just spent some hours on Youtube watching coaster POVs and this coaster Helix looks damn amazing.

I'm going to Gothemburg in a week. I'm stoked

>>2369771
Glad someone recognised it, the lim launch gives it away though

>>2369792
This thing is god damn incredible.

Found the PoV of this the other week, its pretty dope aswell

>game lags when using ddhack
Anyone ever had this issue? I'm running Windows 7 with a GTX760 and an i5 yet I keep suffering from this issue. I had no problems with this before on my old shitty computer from 2005 so I wonder if it has to do at all with the game running on an 64-bit system for some reason.

>>2370026

>>2370051
If you're referring to the slight delay in the ride info popping up below your mouse, it's ALWAYS had that slight delay. If you're referring to something else, it's not readily apparent.

>>2370087
in fullscreen the roller coasters run much smoother than what is showed in the webm

>>2370102
If the game runs smoothly then that's good, I don't understand your problem

>>2364181
Thanks, I'll take care of it.

r8 my layout (no bully)

>>2371775
0/10

>>2371815
:(
in all seriousness i thought the idea of repeating forms in the ride structure was an aesthetic concept worth sharing, since we're all trying to up our game here

>>2371828
I don't get it.

>>2371775
I like the terraforming and the village, but those colours man. Those colours.
Also those three inversions in a row and that medium speed looping make me surprised the nausea is only 7

>>2371775
You have a lot of curves that should look really janky but somehow dont. Nice.

>>2371775
Honestly, those colours would probably work if you put them in a theme where they would fit, fantasy or candyland or something. Just not in a fucking brown castle filled with grass.

>>2371775
I like it

>>2371828
What are you even saying mang

>>2371918
in my experience, watching your speed and forces helps a lot with that sort of thing.

>>2371843
>>2372215
pic related. i highlighted the repeating forms used in the ride. i thought trying a design like that would be interesting, and the result was a decent ride that flows and fills its space nicely without being awkward (though there are definitely other ways to accomplish this). wasn't really worried about stat tweaking in this case, but they're not the worst for an inverted coaster, so that's a nice plus.

>>2368758
A bit late, but this is my favorite inverted coaster station. I started with a support structure, then build the path, and finally I added the walls of the building around it.Other rides removed to show detail.

>>2373236
That is some basic ass coaster station

>>2373462
Sometimes simple is better. I like it.

Finally putting the finishing touches to my part of the collab tonight, sorry for being a horrible liar about deadlines. My coaster got some amazing base stats, to bad scenery "ruined" them later.

>>2373605
oh god I gotta compete with that
#nervous

>>2373747
>compete
That's not how it works :)

This is it's current state, will sit down and finish it in a couple of hours. Have a hard time figuring out what to do with the Drop Coasters station building.

>>2373236
I like it, looks clean.

>>2354661
Why don't you use GPS to create the data? Too vague height recording?

>>2361795
How do you manage to get rct screenshots to be almost 3mb large? Just use the indexed color mode in PS/Gimp.

>>2361795
How do you manage to get RCT screenshots to be as large as almost 3MB? Just use the indexed color mode in PS/Gimp.

>>2373802
>>2373810
Welp.

>>2373802
>>2373810
I just didn't realy care. When they get to big I usually switch to .gif with indexed colors.
Had to handle a 10MB screnshot lately. I just used the snipping tool to downsize it.

>>2373798
It would end up bigger and heavier if I used GPS. Maybe not realy a problem for taking it onto a rollercoaster, but The primary use I intended is measuring the flight height of model rockets.
I just took it with me to get an idea of how accurate it is.
Pic is from an Intamin frefall tower in the same park.

Ok, done and sent. Looking forward to see what everyone else will build.

Also, Dive Coasters are amazing. I need to build more of them.

>>2374084
Also, OpenRCT (or just my installation, who knows) had some serious problems with the scenario editor so I could not really change anything with it. Feel free to change to name of the park to anything you like :3

>>2374084
Alright, cool. I've got a couple ideas I've been toying with but 25x25 is surprisingly small. I'll probably finish mine up and send it on by sunday.

>>2373998
Yeah, i was at holiday park a couple of times. Did you test the new small launched coaster? Is it good, and could it be remade in RCT? For getting height and speed profiles I'd say use your phone and a GPX tracker for stuff like that, but strapping your phone to a rocket wouldn't be that smart lol.

>>2374372
If you want to use GPx, osmand can record GPX tracks. And on http://utrack.crempa.net/ you can create quite neat reports, I use my tablet to track bicycle trips I make.

>>2369008
so I took your advice, and things got a little out of hand.

Here's the station...

>>2374595
...and the vertical drop coaster I put inside.

>>2374595
I really like that detail with the metal posts over the lava flow

Hey guys, any advice for making a visually striking coasters that don't look like eyesores?

>>2374903
Another view that doesn't cut out everything.

I was told that it is hard to make woddies look disgusting, but life finds a way...

>>2374910
In my experience, woodies are way easier to make look disgusting than other coasters, at least when tightly packed like that. The supports really get in the way and crowd the rest of the scenery, and it's way easier to make them look good for out-and-back layouts. Someone compared wound up woodies to meatballs, and I'd have to agree with them.

It helps a lot to build a ride that flows with the landscape or some scenery. Granted, in your scenario, it's very difficult to do that with landscaping, so I recommend working on shaping up your building ability. You should be looking for a way to make scenery which unifies with your ride. Look at some different kinds of architecture/landscaping designs for inspiration, play around, and see what works and what doesn't. You don't need scenery design that rivals Shaft but you should at least make sure your scenery works with your ride (and that if it doesn't work, it doesn't work for a reason).

Additionally, it's good to see you being adventurous with your color harmony, but you ought to learn what works and what doesn't (though some might argue that I'm not the most qualified to say this).

TL;DR The more you play around, the more interesting stuff you get. Learn the rules so you can break them, etc.

>>2374903
>>2374910
Bright clashing colors are a bad idea, especially for wooden coasters. Making them exceedingly tall is also generally pretty ugly. The floating structures look pretty weird and the design of the coaster itself is frankly rather poor.

Successfully striking... I'd say do contrast with the landscape or between the coaster and scenery, not within. The best way is just to come up with something that looks nice without being basic. That's not really something one can be guided toward though - it requires experimentation. Just throw stuff together in a small scale to see what can work together, then expand into something interesting that isnt just a big box.

couple of noob questions
1) what are the easiest coasters to design and get 7+ excitement?
2) is 7 the "magic number" for excite or is it a ratio of excite/intensity/nausea?
3) how much does scenery affect excite ratings? does it have to actually be aesthetically pleasing or can i just stack a bunch of stuff together?
4) do you put Do Not Enter signs on ride exits if they don't lead to something else?

>>2374903
I've thought of making a guide thing, since peeps have been asking but i'm a scrub.

General rules
-Don't go too high (it looks bad and its hard to use up all the energy before the end)
-Don't bend lifthills

-Do stretch it out
-Do give it a structured layout

>>2374976
1) Giga Coasters. Quick guide: up down up down up down up down repeat
2) Magic number? For what? You just want a high excitement, and the a good way to do that is get inensity up but not over 10
3) Up to 1 or 2 excitement I think. Just throw a bunch of Mr. Bones's and coliseums in there and you're good :)
4) Is helps, especially if the paths are long.

>>2374976
too lazy to answer anything except for #1

Hyper Twister, Giga coaster, Hyper coaster

>>2374976
1) Hyper-twister coaster, giga coaster, spiral coaster, and twister coaster are good types to start with for 7+.
2) As far as magic numbers go, you want excitement to be as high as possible. A general rule of thumb is to get the coaster's intensity between 4 and 7, but any intensity up to 9 is okay. We can go a bit more in-depth if you'd like.
3) The game treats most scenery the same, but the surroundings/ landscape/scenery near the coaster can boost the excitement by quite a bit. A good coaster can usually gain an entire point of excitement from scenery alone. You should always try for something that looks good, otherwise everyone will point and laugh because you just plopped 25 base blocks next to the station.
Other things that boost excitement include nearby rides, shops/stalls, water, tunnels, and hills.
Another good trick is to put a building around the station. Placing scenery around a station is an effective way to raise the excitement value.
4) Putting No Entry signs on paths that lead to exits is good practice, but only really necessary if the path is a long dead end up to the exit.

>want to rebuild a coaster from a park that I went to often as a kid
>have terrible spatial skills

Someday I'll get it

>>2375058
what's the coaster/park?

>>2375059
The Twister from Knoebels Amusement Resort in Elysburg, PA. One of my favorite coasters, and not just because of nostalgia reasons.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twister_%28roller_coaster%29

>>2375063
I like the phoenix more, but twister's a fun one.

Oh, you've been there? The Phoenix was actually my first wooden coaster, so I have fond memories of that one as well. Attempted to rebuild it on RCT2 a long time ago, but never quite got it.

>>2375070
I've been to pretty much every notable amusement park from the midwest to the northeast.

Phoenix is in my top five woodies easily, along with El Toro, Blue Streak, SF Great America's Viper, and The Beast

>>2374595
>>2374598
That looks great.

What does /vr/ct listen to when building?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKmG2kGhdgk

>>2375094
the complete symphony of peeps screaming, toilets flushing, and carousel music

I've always wanted to ride The Beast. I went to Ohio on a family trip ~5 years ago and sadly it was closed for repairs on the day that we went.

Yes, everything that has a track.

>>2374372
I went on It. I don't remember if I tried to get data of it or not but I have nothing that looks like it could be from it. I guess I either forgot to turn it on or fucked something up.

Its identical to Superman: Ultimat flight which has been done in RCT2. Heavy trainer usage of course.

>>2375276
Hey Frido, what's the deal with the Freebuild collab? Can I take the 3rd spot or has somebody else booked it?

>>2375281
You still have it. The one behind you said he wasn't minding the wait when I offered switching you two.

>>2374372
I forgot to say If I think it was good. While it's a nice ride I didn't feel like riding it more than 4 times in a row. Also the leg resraints feel a little strange to me. I think of it more as a glorified frefalltower than as a coaster.

I made this one nearly 10 years ago. Ive been trying to rebuild it in RCT2 but due the track changes, I cant get the same lift height and banks. And yeah, already have the TD4 Viewer and Track Decoder. I read that this coaster in particular doesnt transfer well from RCT to RCT2. Sadly...

Never did get around to doing scenery. Got discouraged...

Ultima - Steel Mini Coaster for RCTLL

you dun goofed, man

>>2375438
I think the ride maximum ride height is different along with not being able to use the curved lift chain.

>>2375461
I just did that for fun. Was too busy switching tabs trying to build it in RCT2

>>2375474
Ride maximum height is the same at 65 feet for each and both have the curved lift hills. It could also be that it's a different ride entirely but with the same stats.

>>2375478
IN RCT its named the Steel Mini Coaster, there is no such ride in RCT2. The made it into the Junior Coaster. The similar Mini Coaster is like it but only runs single cars. Thats what I gather

>>2370965
It runs smoothly in fullscreen, but not in windowed mode. I want to have it in windowed mode to record stuff (like timelapses and what-not)

>>2375612
nevermind, I'll just use openRCT for now

>>2375268

>>2375141
I don't like either Surfer Rosa or Doolittle after multiple listens but I love the fuck out of this song (which may be because of its place in Fight Club).

>>2375225
this, and your random screaming
in the background of guests on coasters

>>2375853
I like both albums, but the song really does stand out above the others, probably for the reason you said.

>>2375935
It may also be because the song has met me at a very strange time in my life.

>>2375461
Honestly tho, queue lines in different colours is a thing I've never thought about. It's neat.

>>2376039
It looks better in RCT1 because you can keep the railings consistent.

monster woodie

>>2376112
That's pretty nice to look at, reminds me of the Mischief design in RCT1.

>>2376156
Wasn't that one a bit more compact?

>>2376039
Thanks. I just that for random and it does look better in RCT. I like RCT2 only to save scenery with the rides.

here's the hypercoaster in the back

not very good but I did get a good element out of it which I'll show up close in the next image

You can maximize the excitement of your coasters, but you can't add excitement back into your life.

Well this is annoying. Thanks OpenRCT...

Great news!

>>2377146
Let's start a Indiegogo and buy it. We'll be the first thread to own a roller coaster.

>>2377160
I'm down for that. It'd be great to save a ride of that significance.

>>2375276

Nice job on this. I was approaching it differently by trying to make the non-inverting loop and it always looked retarded. Yours looks nice.

Post your latest creations, I want to look at some beautiful screenshots.

>>2377356
Built a launched steel coaster. Not certain what I'm going to do with the scenery and theme yet.

>>2377356
Just some aesthetics practice.

>>2377451
I like it.

Here's what I'm the proudest of.
I know it's just a boring black box, but it somehow fits so well.

>>2377504
Boring black boxes are my specialty.

>>2377310
It's not mine. I just wanted to show that it has already been done.

>>2377356
Nothing too special, just a part of the Transition River save I've been working on.

>>2377451
Very nice

>>2377356
Don't think i've posted this yet

>>2377381
This has a real nice feel and good flow; the starts a little boring though. Using a banked up turn and then a banked down turn might work

>>2377451
This thing looks great and the ratings are redonk

Well, in RCT1, I know that The Storm in Katie's Dreamworld is prone to station brakes failures... but this is way too funny

>>2377356

I haven't done many coasters lately, so here, have a go kart track I was working on. I had been playing Rush on my N64 beforehand, and I got the idea to put in the "CHECKPOINT" signs.

That is absolutely gorgeous, I would ride the fuck out of that IRL.

guys how do I play this shit

>>2378287
Delete everything and start from scratch

>>2378297
>15,69 I
That coaster take a really fast turn somewhere. You generally don't want your coasters to do sharp turns at high speeds, if it looks like it would kill a person IRL you probably have a slight design flaw.

>>2378297
dear lord

>>2378297
I actually meant at the start of the scenario, delete all the existing paths and castle scenery and that will give you a nice little dosh bonus. If you want to keep the castle then just thin out the paths and put No Entry signs across unused sections to stop the guests from shitting up the place.

>>2378297
Also damn son dem stats
Actually pretty impressive

>>2378297
You're going too fast around corners. Slow down and maybe your guests won't have all their organs on one side of their body.

Is there a retards guide I missed this is going so poor

also how do you stack walls like the prefab castle?

>>2378329
not perfect, but definitely an improvement, nice!

also hold shift to change height of scenery

>>2378329
That already look way better. No need to build a queue line from the exit.

>a retards guide
For getting started there's this.

Shift and ctrl are essential when building scenery. Shift let you stack scenery on top of other scenery.

>>2378329
On that particular scenario it's a good idea to make the wall walkways of limits for peeps as they easily get lost and angry. Either do it by simply deleting the path that leads up there or by placing no entry signs (found among the other scenery together with benches, bins and stuff).

>>2377651
I always edit the ride so it has a few more turns at the end so it enters the station slower than 30 mph.
>>2378329
Crazy Castle is unforgiving as fuck
Scenery can be stacked with SHIFT. Take a look at the tutorials.

>>2378329
heres the back

>>2378336
openrtc doesn't have the tut. I use to play rct1 as a kid so I remember most of the stuff. I just tried to make the most intense coasters I could and then would get buttmad when the guests wouldn't ride them though so.

>>2378309
"Delete all non-essential paths" is such an essential tip for the castle scenario. Makes it 1000x more playable.

>>2378302
>a really fast turn somewhere
It takes a really fast turn EVERYWHERE. 29 seconds long dropping from 60 feet. Dear god.

gave up on the castle. I always try and go right to coasters and run out of dough.

Tried making an drive through the west ride

>>2378427
Looks pretty nice. Should have decent stats considering all the scenery.
If you're having trouble with money don't be afraid to take out a loan by opening the finance menu (F key, never played OpenRCT so I dont know if it shares keybindings or not)

From the end-user perspective, what's the point of using OpenRCT at this point?

>>2378475
https://github.com/IntelOrca/OpenRCT2#14-aim

I built a boring ass woodie.
And then I built the ugliest fucking disgrace of a building around it.

>>2378592
looks intense

>>2378593
It in't. 7.something.
Excitement with scenery is 7.06

>>2378592
With scenarios like that, it's okay to start off small. Feel free to take out some of the extra paths for a little more cash, I remember Electric Fields having tons of extra footpath.

My biggest concern is that it tends to look like M.C. Escher's most favourite hangout from certain angles.

I more or less have to. I don't know why (probably some registry fuckerido) but my original installation is close to unplayable because of different errors and crashes. OpenRCT solve almost all of them.

I like it, spread out coasters that are not 10km long feel more natural to me. It's quite unusual that you see a meatball coasters IRL, they generally have a couple of key elements and go through themselves a couple of times max.

I'd add some kind of fence to the roof to conceal the space beneath the actual roof.
