I wanna ride goliath and x flight so bad

>>2425506
Looks balanced to me tbh, build a Spiral Coaster for the same price if you want op

>exams next week

oh well...i never needed that future anyways

>>2425506
I'd say 6+ is a good excitement for a side-friction.

Ninth for Posterfig still hasn't done the video yet.

>>2425203

>>2426113

>>2426113
>power launch through six loops
>chain lift at the end

>>2426120
I reduced the speed to a mere 58km/h for the powered launch so it's not that bad, everyone seems to want to get on board the /VR/ train

>>2426125
serves no purpose there, was just out there in case i have to reduce the speed a lot for the uber extreme rating to go down, i'll delete them.

Update. Been moving kinda slow but I'm satisfied with the results so far. The new coaster element isn't connected to anything yet.

>>2426129
Don't. I like them

How do I make coasters that look good? A lot of mine just look so boring.

>>2426191
look at real coasters that are aesthetically pleasing

copy their shit

>>2426151
Quite a nice element tho.

>>2426191

Ŵith the right kind of harness it'd be uncomfortable, but it'd be possible to ride without injury.

Best only let healthy people on though....

Looking/reading through the previous thread made me happy. I didn't know there were still a nice amount of people playing this game and doing so well. I might get back to RCT2..

What do you guys do these days? Start with any of the premade scenario's or do you start from scratch with a new park?

>>2426765
gatta get up on the derp collabs we have going on

>>2426767
please explain

>>2426765
I do scenarios and have one enormous park that I continually tinker with.

>>2426715
>Tfw used to make every piece of track closed

>>2426113
I want to get off /vr/'s wild ride

>>2426715
they don't crash if you cover your hill crests

>>2426765
We have a good mix of everything. People who make scenarios/tracks, collaborative parks, and all sorts of things in between.

>>2426191
Try making a form and then making variations on that form. Make your coaster flow with itself, or at least with the landscape.

>>2426716
I could honestly never get these to crash in RCT2, no matter the myriad bad ideas I stuffed into a track. What's the secret?

>>2426778
post pics

>>2427143
>What's the secret?
Airtime

is there a way to lower the ingame volume? the game is loud as shit compared to my music.

>>2427476
No, use Windows' volume mixer.

Can you only play RCT2 at a max resolution of 1280 by 1024?

>>2427490
Yes. Use OpenRCT2.

>>2427496

This is finally finished?

Holy shit. Have they increased map size, ride/guest limits?

>>2427509
No, but you should be using it anyways. It already has several features the original doesn't.

>>2427509
I don't think so. However, it is one of the aims on the Github page:
"Improved peep path-finding
Increased window / ride / object / map / construction limits
More sandbox-friendly gameplay
Editing available objects
Improved title sequence
Translation into more languages
Re-introduction of RollerCoaster Tycoon 1 mechanics:
Shuttle Loop compatibility
Have Fun! objective
Finish building five coasters objective
Using the mountain tool during the game"

>improved title sequence
I really hope this will be an option and not mandatory

>>2427518
>you should be using it anyways
It still runs way too slow for my liking compared to the base game. I think I'll hold on off until it's better optimized.

>>2427614
>It still runs way too slow
What are you using, a fucking potato? It runs just as well, if not better for me, especially if I enable hardware display.

>>2426805
>boat goes down 100 ft drop into 10 ft covered hill

You can fix programs, but you can't fix user error.

Can you guys recommend me some good scenario's?

>>2427650
Forest Frontier's

>>2427649
But Anon, that's what killbots are for!

Does it ever finish downloading?

>>2427667
I wouldn't know, I use the build from openrct2.com. I don't like having to use launchers to play my games.

>>2427518
>you should be using it anyways
Not really. You can't use trainers, there's still features lacking, there's major slowdowns in big parks and it's not completed so there's always the risk of unexpected crashes. I only use it because my original installation is fubar.

>>2427621
You should probably calm down, anon. OpenRCT2 has made great progress recently but it's still far from finished. It slows down to glacial speeds at high resolutions or on large or complex parks, plus there are still several bugs that need to be ironed out.
I will continue to use the vanilla game for as long as it outperforms OpenRCT2.

>>2427667
I've been getting this error as well. Just download the build from the website at the moment

jungle themed park in progress

>tfw started with Panda World and have virtually no coaster types to work with

ratings on the wooden mine and corkscrew. I'm very surprised at how low the wooden wild mine ride's ratings ended up being.

>>2427917
i like that woodie a lot

and yeah, im surprised by the mine's stats too... it must want more severe drops or something

>>2427927
I did not believe my eyes, had to rebuild it myself and it turned out just as bad. While it might not be the greatest ride looks wise 1,61 is ridiculously low, strange.

messing around with things

>>2427947
thanks, I really like how the first drop turned out.

>>2427952

I really like what you did with the iceblue coaster.

>>2427967
What's the element on the white coaster called?

>>2428131
sea serpent roll

>>2427952
Wild mouse coasters have the disctintion of being EITHER gentle OR hella intense and exciting. There's no middle ground.
>>2428131
I think it's a sea serpent.

>OpenRCT2 project - RCT2 goes open source.

Someone explain to me what the difference is between that site, and this:

https://openrct.net/

and why they have different numbered test builds

Trying to start a new park, here's a looping coaster I built in a corner.

>>2428169
I like that a lot. It's nestled in really well with the corner and the building is great.

If you're ever in need of some inspiration, just go here: http://www.coastergallery.com
Just came across it and holy fuck, all those great pics are making me want to get my ass home and start building some comfy coasters so bad. Lots of information on every roller coaster as well, which is pretty neat.

>>2428429
Wild animals and natural disasters, can't go wrong with either for coaster names.

>>2428429
>>2428462
I name them after ex-girlfriends so I can smile when they break down.

>>2428497

Why do you guys use edgy names like that? I expected almost every coaster would have a name like 'meme-machine'

>>2428607
I had the name in my head, and just remembered where it came from. It's this guy from SNK's King of the Monsters.

>>2428601
>dat excitement rating

>>2428626
Childhood sentiment for me, personally. Always had to have English names that I thought were hella badass, but since English isn't my first language they usually just made no sense or were cheesy as fuck. Now that I've picked it up again, it only seemed logical to continue that tradition.
Wish I could somehow get those old coasters back, if only to see what names I came up with. Only one I can remember rn is "Dragon's Limb" or some shit like that.

>>2428626
I was making a joke about poison/ghost being the typing for the pokemon gengar

>>2428679
Sorry, shouldn't have replied to your post

>>2428386
Second best Big Pier I've seen in the thread, ell done.

>>2428559
>everything I can think of
Where do I change chain lift speed? How do I reset clearances? As I said I use and love OpenRCT2 but there's still much work to done, it's hardly finished.

>>2428502
As long as they throw up after - it is fine.

>You have just inherited a large castle - Your job is to convert it into a small theme park.

>>2428735
Fuck the castle, You've got a park to build nigger

>>2428689
You clearly haven't even tried it lately...

>>2428765
>actually demolishing the castle
But it's your inheritance! What a horrible thing to do.

>>2428787
True, I'm currently running a build from May 7th and with these additions I'll certainly get a new build.

As I've said before, I use and love OpenRCT2 but it's still not finished, just look at how much have been added in less than a month. Now I have not tested the newest build but I doubt they have implemented all of 8cars functions in that short a time and unless they've reworked the zero clearance function there's still no way to reset it.

>>2428802
I use the development builds, they are compiled automatically 2-3 times per day and everyday there is something interesting added and haven't experienced any crashes so far.
It won't be finished for a long time but it's pretty stable for now and looking forward for new features.

>>2428808
I've had some problems with crashing when using custom scenery or using the editor so I tend to stay on a stable build when I find one and only update when they add some new important feature.

>>2428802
POSTAN CASTLES!

>>2428735
What a coincidence, I just did that scenario tonight. I haven't played the game in 8 years, I think I did ok considering. Tomorrow I'm going to come back to it and put big coasters in. I mainly wanted to just win the objective tonight.

I'm the one who posted a couple nights ago, I found some of my backup files but I'm disappointed that I didn't find as much as I thought I had. I guess that settles it. What's lost is lost, time for new memories.

Is there any software which can take a screenshot of the whole map zoomed in?

Didn't know how to raise scenery when i finished this so the castle is full of holes.

>>2428929
use SHIFT and/or CTRL

This took 400 hours of effort.

>>2429038
Simple games with sprites which led so much to the imagination and creativity, i miss them

>>2429038
I wish I could design that well.

>>2429038
Now this is what i call art

>>2429038
I don't get this. It isn't rct really, it's just 3D-modeling using rct engine. At least do it without additional scenery - that would be a challange. But this is just... I don't know. Art for sure, but nothing else.

>>2429038
All I ever wanted were the small landscape blocks

>>2429119
NE Designs isn't a very big community because this type of thing is just inaccessible for so many people. (That, and the game is old as fuck).

They literally spend YEARS making parks. The criticism they give each other's creations is autistic sometimes. There's a lot of condescension.

But mainly, the effort it takes to get recognized is extreme. It takes forever just to get one stupid little building to look good. People sperg out if your coasters aren't realistic and every support isn't calculated just right. It takes hours upon hours to get something that might not be guaranteed to be accepted, and if it is, you've done it for a handful of active people.

>>2429192
Yes, all this further confirms my frustration about what these park actually are. It's still nice to look at, no doubt, but it just seems so strange for someone to chose to put that much effort into something that narrow. Scary, scary, scary.

I kinda broke the game lmao. Unfortunately the coaster is unrideable since there can't be any track behind the station for this to happen, still look quite funny.

>>2429217
different strokes for different folks, and all that jive

>>2428687
Thanks anon! I was struggling with crippling debt the entire time

I can't remember the last time I played this game. Must have been fucking 8 years ago.

I miss Forest Frontiers, a lot.

I think I did okay.

>>2429278
Straight line at the bottom left bugs me to the bones.

>>2429278
I like that you kept the nausea so low despite the excitement rating, nice job 7/10. Would give 9/10 if adding some scenery to it

Alternate angle with dosh stats

Finally back to having a computer that I can play RCT on, and I've almost finished up the Canyon Collab starting area and section 4. I've got some pics to upload. Probably going to remove some of the trees and stuff that are at the bottom of the canyon by default, as it is a bit built up there.

First, the entrance area, tentatively called Los Canon because I can't think of a really good name for a southwest town. Any suggestions on that front are appreciated. It has a go-cart ride, ferris wheel, and a vintage car ride, along with an information/bathroom building, cafeteria, and gift shop.

>>2429293
A view of the vintage cars, and the bridge to Mine Mountain. You can see the Canyon Drop (a roto-drop in the canyon that spins the riders in front of the guests on the bridge before dropping them) and Mine Lift (a simple elevator) in the bottom portion of the picture.

>>2429297
A full view of the mining town, with maze, food court, the enterprise, and a small gift shop. You can also see the station for the big coaster from this angle.

>>2429302
And the coaster proper. Forgot to include stats in the pic, but it has 8.45--8.59--6.30 for E--I--N. Makes over 24k an hour, and can handle 78 riders at once.

>>2429307
And an overview of everything. I should be done with this and finally sending it off to SUGOI BOI tonight. Any ideas for improvement?

>>2429292
I never asked more than 5$ for a ride (even new) as the would all go "i'm not paying that much"

>>2429293
>>2429297
>>2429302
>>2429307
>>2429309
Looking amazing anon!

>>2429293
I absolutely love the buildings around the entrance.

>>2429313
The rule of thumb is that you can charge up to your excitement rating.

Lower for some stock rides.

>>2429293
>>2429297
>>2429302
>>2429307
>>2429309
This is insanely cool anon. The spanish like town at the start is crazy well done and i love the little mine buildings the coaster comes out of 10/10.

>>2429278
The 2nd mcbr doesn't fit aswell as the first (but i'm guessing you wanted an extra train). The flow is pretty solid though, esp in the cramped space you had.

>>2429538
Would have been easier to stitch the photos using a panoramic maker like Autopano Giga

>>2429442
Still no video

>>2429551
No it wouldn't. Those kinds of programs are optimized for stitching high-detail photographs together, not pixel-accurate 2D graphics. The seams would likely be extremely obvious, plus removing the black background is a whole different task altogether.

>>2429562
What exactly does the video entail?

>>2429006
Been a while since I actually played rct but I think I can be autistic enough when I try. I don't really have the time nor the patience to spend hundreds of hours on a single park though.

>>2429819

>>2429819
>>2429840
I'm sorry anon, you're not autistic enough to play in the double-special ed room. Only the double-autists can play there.

>>2429840
more autism. This one is on my desktop so I can't provide other angles. The rides used to have lovely german names but I lost the save to an error trapper.

>>2429840
only pic of the park I had on this laptop and it is unfinished. The final product filled out the bottom-right and added a few little details to the village, I can try and dig it up if you want

That's probably the best TOGO standup I've seen in a long time.

>>2430168
to be fair, we don't see a lot of TOGO standups around here

but yeah, it's an excellent coaster

>>2430176
Well, we did have a few threads dedicated to them...

>>2430185
>TOGO breaking 7 excitement

>>2430185

>>2430202
>>2430196
>>2430185
>>2430176
>>2430168
Excuse me, but what the fuck is TOGO?

>>2430207
TOGO is a now-defunct rollercoaster and theme park ride manufacturer. The plain stand-up coaster is one of their models. Another is the heartline twister.

>>2430207
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOGO

Japan's answer to Arrow
if you need a football helmet for Arrow rides, you need a goddamn suit of full-body armor for TOGO

>>2430207
>>2430221
Yeah, their ride quality was questionable at times, but they were a major innovator in the theme park business for a while there.

>>2430185
>mfw I've been on the actual TOGO pictured
Jesus christ fuck that thing, glad they sold it.
If you've got nipple piercings and go on a stand-up TOGO, you're either not going to have them or wish you didn't get them by the end of it.

>>2430221

So what are some distinguishing features of them and other manufacturer coasters? Like any special things only they really do, particular styles, etc? Arrow, B&M, etc. If someone wouldn't mind summarizing real fast, that is.

>>2430240
http://www.themeparker.com/Portal/roller-coaster-ride-designers/
this site has some rundowns on the big ones, past and present

http://www.coastergallery.com/manu.html
here you can look through the coasters by manufacturer, and check out the common themes, styles, and elements they offer that way

>>2430256
The theme parker thing is surprisingly unhelpful, all the links that aren't wikipedia things are broken.

>The theme parker thing is surprisingly unhelpful, all the links that aren't wikipedia things are broken.

>>2430272

I've been talking to the OpenRCT devs and have some good news anons. We might finally be able to revert the triple thrill pack back to vanilla. Anybody want to help me id the expansion objects? I'll start working on time twister now

>>2430324

Look at "moveTTDats.bat" and "moveWWDats.bat".

>>2430324
>>2430357
I should also mention that I don't recommend doing this since custom scenarios might use WW/TT objects and you're not going to have a fun time if you remove them.

>>2430162
Thanks!!

I wish I had more space on this one. I have enough speed at the end for some helices and corkscrews, but not enough space to put any in there.

Someone enjoyed Pikmin 2

Holy shit, why have I not found this thread before? Please tell me where to start, I had rct 2 for as long as I can remember, but I'm clueless as to the extra packs made in the op comment, can a friendly anon recommend me where to start up playing this game again?

>>2430567
Get the gog.com full release for RCT2, that's what most of us use.

>>2430567
For RCT, you should look for RCT Deluxe. It contains Loopy Landscapes and Corkscrew Follies.

For RCT 2, you should look for the Triple Thrill Pack one.

If you can't find physical discs, you might want to get it from Gog or pirate it. Sawyer doesn't get the money for it, but oh well...

>>2430564
I've never played pikmin. I just wanted it to look like some sort of sci-fi dystopia where emotions are used as fuel or something. That's why the trees next to the coaster or coloured and the ones far away are emotionless, white and devoid of life.

>>2430603
Oh never-mind, they seemed reminiscent of names given to treasure.

I thought Patience Extractor was a name of one of them, but it was a mixup of Merciless Extractor and Patience Tester. But yeah I get the motif.

>>2430584
>>2430602
I own the triple thrill pack already, unfortunately I lost the physical copy so I bought it from steam, but will that make a difference for these content packs?

>>2430634
I don't see how it could change anything, it should still be the same game.

>>2430634
Buying old games from steam and not gog...
You're better off downloading it

>>2430640
I was not thinking right, all I remember is seeing rtc2 on steam and hitting the buy button instantly

>>2430648
Well nothing wrong with that, but gog usually fixes some installer issues and makes them more compatible with newer windowses or even linux

>download RCT2 some time ago
>admission price for park fixed on "free"

>>2430741
That's what it is supposed to be. It's either free rides or free entry.

(Free entry means you can jack up prices on coasters to their excitement rating.

>>2430741
You sure it's not just a "pay per ride" scenario?

>>2430752
Weird. I remember being able to have both when I was a kid. Was this introduced in RCT2 as a balance mechanic or something?

I just dug up the files I downloaded in like 2010. Might goof around for a while to see if it's as fun as I remember.

If memory serves the game wasn't as thrilling for me as it was during my childhood. Plop down some coasters and AFK until your park wins. Does OpenRCT/the other downloads in the OP add a whole lot?

>>2430758
Yeah, it's a RCT2 mechanic. RCT1 let you set both independently.

>>2430758
As far as I have heard you could have both in RCT1 but not in RCT2

>>2430762
RCT1 also has the superior stoplight buttons for stopping/starting rides instead of the weak and pitiful flags

they're two of the only things RCT1 has over 2

>>2430758
Fortunately for you there are some parks in the vpack that are quite difficult and actually require you to think instead of either going AFK or focusing on making everything 'comfy'.

>complete scenario
>herd all 1100 guests onto a bridge with no entry signs and prepare to drown them

The park is obviously too good for the outside world at this point; it's a shame the guests don't appreciate the service I'm doing them.

Progress update on the second canyon collab. It's been taking a while because I'm pretty unskilled with scenery, so I'm open to suggestions.

>>2430883
looks good so far

In the latest openRCT dev build they integrated twitch.tv...

>>2430526
Well, almost :^)

>>2430931
Any news on when theyweill integrate acceptable performance?

>>2430976
When the original game is fully decompiled. They can't compile with optimization because the compiler would very likely fuck up the integration with the assembly code of the base game.

And before you complain about their focus, decompiling assembly and putting it back together as C is hard work, I'm quite sure the developers actually capable of it are doing what they can!

>>2430883
Speaking of collab progress.
I got a cold and don't realy feel like playing so I'm behind a bit.
It's not like posterfig has nothing he can do in the meantime anyways.

How do the stats work? I get you want low nausua and high excitement but what about intensity. I see a lot of coasters with higher intensity than excitement posted, wouldn't you want the opposite ideally?

>>2431053
>wouldn't you want the opposite ideally?
Ideally yes you want to keep it low, but in some way intensity is coupled to exitement and it's hard to get a coaster that has low intensity and high exitement.
As long as the intesity isn't way higher than excitement and under 10 it will be fine. However there are scenarios where guests prefer mild rides and scenarios where guests prefer intense rides.

>>2430136
Wooden Coasters are the only thing in the game which literally make my dick rock hard. They're absolutely gorgeous.

Well, that and forcing one handyman to mow grass and imagining all the other handymen giving him shit in the locker room after a sweaty work day. That also makes my dick rock hard.

>>2431053
>I get you want low nausea
Fuck that. Max excitement, Intensity as close to 10 as possible, max nausea. That's the goal. People ralphing after riding my steel behemoth confirms that I've created something worthwhile and makes my dick rock hard

What's your favorite scenario, /rct/-kun?

>>2431115
In The Red
Ghost Town
Dynamite Dunes
Needle Ridge
Six Flags Magic Mountain

In that order.

What's up with the derp hexcollab
Haven't seen anything posted in a while

Started playing RCT2 again a few days ago and with all this talk about stand-up coasters, I kind of wanted to try building one myself since I've never used them back then due to their poor stats. It turned out way better than expected stat-wise, though I guess I should really practice adding scenery etc..

>>2431182

>>2431182

>>2431182
>dududududududududu
Not a fan of how you use chainlifts to be honest. Otherwise, I'm impressed by the amount of track you've managed to squeeze in on such a small space and the stats are incredible for a stand-up. IRL it would probably kill you lol

>>2431196
>>2431196
Using chainlifts like that can be a good way to save space when trying to keep the coaster compact, but yeah, I know they are pretty ugly. Should I ever place this coaster in a park, I will definitely replace it with a regular straight chain lift.

>>2430984
The Shrike from Hyperion has disguised itself as a rollercoaster!

>Mfw this actually worked

>>2431250
dear lord

>>2431250
impressive

Best way to price park entry?

I remember a rule of thumb being 1 dollar per 1 ride but maybe that was just something I made up in my head as a kid

>>2431146
Fucking love dynamite dunes. Blaster is great even though you have to fix several parts of it.

Currently doing Evergreen gardens. Fuck those paths, man.

>>2431115
When I was younger I loved Mel's World just because of the Inverted Coaster

>>2431267
The most you see any incoming guest carry - $10 is typically what I do.

>>2431274
in the beginning they might only carry $10, but once your park is full of stuff you can charge way more, 50, 60. poor peeps not welcome

in scenarios is it wrong to cheat in money just to have fun

>>2431313
Only if you don't have fun.

>>2431313
But anon, the fun comes from the satisfaction of having completed the objective.

>>2431053
Intensity is not a bad stat. It's very difficult to get a high excitement without high intensity, because a gentle ride wouldn't be as thrilling. Generally, you want to aim for higher excitement than intensity, while keeping nausea at a minimum, but having higher intensity than excitement is often unavoidable, so don't get too worked up about it.

>>2431313
How bad can you be to need to cheat money?

One great rollercoaster literally wins you most scenarios.

And why is it not at RCT.mp3 Tier?

Sweeping helices and a barrel roll or two.

No way, Techno, Roman, and Mechanical are at least good tier.

>>2431421

>>2431421

What will the OpenRCT guys be able to reasonably accomplish once the game is finally recompiled?

Will we be able to safety turn collision off without a trainer and without risking the save?
Will the hard-coded limits for scenery and rides in a scenario finally be removed?
Will all the difficult hacks that parkmakers use to make unique rides and shit be easily accessible in a safer and easier in-game format?

>>2431595
No collision is already availabble, Don't know how save it is though.

>>2431595
well once its finished it will be easier to fix original issues, improve pathfinding for peeps which always get lost, add some new features, exploits etc as the game will be written in C cause nobody is touching ASM even with a 10 foot pole.

>>2431250
Amazing

>>2431250
That ending looks painful though

>>2431250
This would look so fucking cool going down the side of a mountain.

>>2431421

What the fuck, that's the most "amusement park" sounding song in the whole game.

>>2431785
I assume he means "organ," not "fairground organ" (which is the merry-go-round music). I don't think anyone actually likes organ.

>>2431747
>improve pathfinding for peeps which always get lost

Fug, that alone would revolutionize the game.

>Spiral Slide 1 has broken down

How? How the fuck does this even happen? It's a goddamn slide!

>>2431832
Some kid shit on the slide.

>>2431834
Kek, made ma day lad

NEED MORE SPEED

>coaster break down halfway through launch run
>train stop dead immediately
>never get enough speed, stuck in infinite loop lol
Okay, we need legit launch tracks.

>>2430138
I know it's a bit late to say this, but I dig this park.

>>2432079
And then that turned into this. Really (really) happy with how it looks, if anything the part after the first break run could be slightly better but I rebuilt it like 3 times and this is the best both stats and looks wise.

Thinking I'll do two buildings, one covering the station and track after the first air time hill and one smaller over the second launch track before the top hat inversion.

>>2432268
>recolour
Keep the colours and call it The Flash.

>>2432282
That's actually a great idea. I should build a similar and slightly better coaster called Zoom to accompany it. Darn, I'll end up with a whole park.

>>2432319
better?exCUSE me

>>2432319
Make them race each other and make Zoom win by a few seconds every time with slightly better stats.

If you make a whole park make sure to fit in 2-3 Batman: The Ride's.

>>2432362
WE SHOULD MAKE A SUPERHERO COLLAB

haha jk

kind of

>>2432403
you just want to do that so you can build the Superman flying coaster and make a pretzel loop

>>2432403
New borderless collab being a glorified contest to see who can make the best Goliath, go.

>>2432409
nah, i dont do already-made stuff, i'd make my own coaster. probably of someone more obscure, like, idk luke cage or something

>>2432268
Cool layout, this would probably be a great real life coaster.

>>2431181
Went camping, just got back. Sent it to the next person on the list.

I can't seem to finish this nicely.

>>2432660
if only you could have curved stations and diagonal brakes.

WAIT I COULD HAVE BOUGHT THE LAND AND BUILT MORE SDIHSDKGSg

>>2432720

Do the /v/ pack scenarios have any quality control to them at all or is it just a bunch of meme scenarios?

>>2432750
It's pretty obvious which ones are serious and which ones are jokes as soon as you open them. There's a lot of quality, though.

>>2432268
Great layout

If you changed the final turn to an upward large helix you could potentially avoid that hill before the break run.

Another update on the canyon collab. The freefall is gonna be recolored when I figure out what to change it to. I also think I'm making vaporwave: the park but I don't know how to stop myself

>>2432891
>vaporwave: the park
fucking do it

>>2432891
That little cave grotto thing under the path is pretty cozy, the park has an overhanging rock object if you wanted to make it more cave like.

>>2432893
the architecture looks like it can't decide if it wants to be greco-roman or sino-japanese. it's like looking at a tesseract with a different culture painted on every other face. i think vaporwave is the only logical conclusion at this point.

>>2432902
i'm making use of those in the waterfall areas beneath some of the rockwork, but it's not too visible in this screenshot.

>>2432891
Needs more stucco and fluorescent lighting

>>2432660

>>2433081
>diagonal station

>>2432660
Maybe this?
If you want to keep the compact form having it hug the inside track and avoid diagonals for that stretch would work, but you wouldn't be able to squeeze out a very long station platform.

>>2433085
Oh boy I didn't notice. Then it should be all the way up there, LOL and LMAO.

>>2432358
Remember that time the train got stuck in the cobra roll? THAT WAS ME

>>2432403
Literally not a bad idea, kinda like the no borders collab but not as ambitious.

>>2432865
You're right, did that.

>>2431250

I reckon U could the same thing and get the intensity nearer to 8, nice try though.

>tfw can't find screenshots and they aren't even in the usual directory location ;_;

>>2433240
if you're using openRCT they are in "Libraries\Documents"

>>2433274
im using GOG but it's also installed via disk from ages ago although I just use the gog setup now for the thrillpacks
it's not in either of the regular folders it would be for both

>>2431250
>mfw this worked

>>2433289

>>2433289
Try making two coasters in the same sort of style next to each other, then have them do cobra rolls side by side on the way down with the lift hill threaded in between.

I've had an idea for doing it all week now but god damn I'm lazy.

>>2433356

>>2433289
Needs more inversions

>>2433378
Cobra rolls anon, two sets of them on either side of a lift hill threaded together like zipper teeth.

>>2433401
Not enough!

>>2433413
I know what cobra rolls are, I simply can't imagine how a human bean would survive it.

About halfway through. Next rides: Wooden in the front corner with the splash boats, Reverser and Mini over by the Go Karts, Floorless in the back. I also want to get sneaky with it and put some powered launcher stations underground inside the castle.

How does wear work in RCT anyway? This pile of crap never managed to complete more than two runs before breaking down.

This shit right here is hella stupid.

>>2433418
>>2433413
What are cobra rolls? Is there a chart, or something, anywhere explaining all the different terms?

>>2433494
Yeah, it's dumb as fuck and the peeps ride it and seem to enjoy it even though they should all be dead. Guess that's something OpenRCT could fix once finished lol

>>2433483
I dont even know, the minute you hack anything the reliability just plummets into oblivion. I'd figure it was related to speed, which is why hack lift hills break down all the time but it happens even with tiny hacks.

>>2433494
After x g's it really just needs some kind of "just no" intensity option

Hey, since the other one is filled up, would anyone like to start an it's ok to suck colab with me? Also gonna post some screens.

You know, it just occurred to me how ridiculous it is that a rubber dinghy explodes into a massive fireball when it crashes

>>2433574
I made this a while back on a volcano themed park I created. Giga coaster for S Tier.

>>2433578
They're inflated with hydrogen, and the restraints are made of flint and steel.

>>2433584
And here is a pair of dueling hyper twisters on the same park. Both are almost perfectly synchronized. Sorry these screenshots are so hard to follow, these rides were massive.

>>2433591
And here's a woodie I made that I've always really loved.

So yeah, If anyone wants to do an "it's ok to suck" colab, hit me up. I'll post it in the doc.

>>2433595
Woodie looks nice, hard to even tell what's going on with the others.

>>2433595

>>2433849
kk, the sign up is in the docs spreadsheet.

I've actually started working and have been for the past few hours. Here's what I have so far, any thoughts?

>>2433863
Woops, forgot stats.

Who is Metyneskar and what's taking him?

>>2433863
Mind if I took a spot?

>>2433879
not at all, sign right up.

I tried for ages to fit a coaster in this kind of space that wouldn't fit either a garden or small mountain theme. Virginia Reel nausea stats are terror if you want to make it fit in scenery.

So, pretty proud despite settling for a log ride.

>>2433919
Why do I keep forgetting to post stats

>>2433919
That's really pretty, I love the station building.

So I tried installing RCT1 on my windows 7 machine, it worked. Went to install Loopy Landscapes/Corkscrew Follies and windows can't complete the auto-install. I try copying the files from the disk to the RCT folder and now it won't run period.

If I uninstall and reinstall will that fix things? Is there an easier way to play it that doesn't require the disk? What about a way to play on windows 8 that doesn't require steam and its bullshit?

>>2434082
>Is there an easier way to play it that doesn't require the disk?
GOG.

>>2434082
>What about a way to play on windows 8 that doesn't require steam and its bullshit?
Not really an answer to your question, but the Steam version is surprisingly bullshit free.
Try compatibility modes, I guess.

>>2434097
I've tried compatibility mode, there's a driver conflict that the OS can't resolve.

As for steam, I can't run it on my laptop without it just lagging out the rest of the machine.

>>2434094
$6 isn't bad, I was just kinda hoping to be able to use the discs I already own and paid for I guess.

>>2433863
This is easily top-5 ride I've seen in these threads. This is exactly what I like.

>>2434123
You can play the Steam version without Steam running

>>2434140
well unless it's free to play on steam then GOG is probably my best bet.

Hey guys, so

I'm in a statistics class, and for a final project, I decided to do a chi-squared comparison on various statistics of both a: real life coasters compared to RCT recreations (throughput, income, etc.), and statistics of park recreations themselves vs the actual things.

to that end, does anyone have any super-accurate, or even just pretty damn but not necessarily super-accurate recreations of various amusement parks? (because let's be honest, the six flags ones are both shit and outdated). Or know a website where I could find them?

Many thanks

>>2434216
I know there are some pretty good remakes of the six flags parks. If you just do some googling around Im sure you could find some interesting parks. It sounds like a cool final project too, I wish you luck.

>>2434216
http://www.nedesigns.com/

hell of a lot of nice parks here, original and remade

>>2434234
if you guys want, I can share with you the results once i'm done

>>2434248
That would certainly be interesting

>>2434216
As the other anons say NED is probably your best bet. I think the Kumba remake is probably one of the highest rated so it might be a good starting point.

>go to NEDesigns
>guy made fucking Hogwarts and some LOTR shit in the same park
Is this maximum autism or pure artistry?

speaking of which, does anyone know the time scale at which the game takes place, in terms of

a: irl minutes to in game minutes/hours/whatever
b: guest time to ride time (since i know that computing the hourly income is weird)

>>2434279
>a: irl minutes to in game minutes/hours/whatever
I believe one hour irl=one in-game year

>>2434271
Both.
