Repostan' my suck collab update. Should be able to get it to you sometime this week, Captain Jazz.

eh_collab update. I should be ready to pass this on soon.

>>2439120
>all those tired people
step up

So what exactly makes a peep less tired? I know exciting rides and scenery bring up happiness, but do they have a similar effect on energy?

>>2439643
Having them seated restored their energy. Make sure to supply benches in food areas and you won't have a problem.

so I have a huge boner for for, er, I'm sure there's a name for it.
i.e. seasons, a deck of cards, any duality theme, colours in general (so gay~)

And I was thinking, what about the zodiac?
Like, twelve rides/coasters, and I know that's a motherfuckton, but I think the idea is interesting.

What would you do with it, /vr/ct?

>>2439730
12 racing coasters, all of different types, all finish at the same time.
Include bobsled and virginia wheel.

>>2439745
...
do you have a death wish

>>2439745
>12 racing coasters
alright
>all of different types
interesting
>all finish at the same time
you're insane

>>2439730
You've got one coaster taken care of.

>>2439748
If I did I'd specify excitement over 6, no spaghetti, and include a stand-up as well.
I'm not sure if it can be done with a steeplechase to be honest so it wouldn't be fair to include that.

>>2439752
Wouldnt people try to shake hands on this thing and get themselves injured?

hello friends

>>2439871
Reminds me of this, what are the stats?

>>2439752
>tubular steel on wooden frame
Neat.

>>2439876
nice, that's literally the one i weanted to recreate, but it's pretty much impossible.
stats are meh. 5/6

That turned out better than expected. Seriously though, why are there no banked curved hills/drops, that is why you can only do so much.

>>2440097
Sure it's not the Helix's?

I am doing a relatively small park, with not that many paths. I have a lot of cash machines and restrooms but there are still a handful of guests who are not able to find those, even though they are really close to them. What do?

>>2440140
He's Dutch though.

>>2440120
He's trying to put a cobra roll on a TOGO standup, my guess is he expected 42+ intensity.

Sometimes, my scenery buildings have a clear, coherent and functional style.

But then there are times when I just throw blocks and walls at something until I'm bored. This was one of those times.

>>2440257
Neat

>>2440257
That's pretty rad

>>2440257
Dope!

Got a pic with invisible scenery?

>>2440178
post screens

>>2440420
I have already completed the objective. Do you have any general tips in regards to pathing, building shop, etc?

Finally found my RCT discs again. Installed now on win7 x64. Problem is I can't change the screen resolution, it stays stuck on 640x480. Windowed mode does work but its tiny and slow.

Any ideas?

>>2440256
Yeah, I was just mostly fucking around seeing if I could possibly make a semi-decent (4/8/8) Stand-Up

>>2440140
He's using euros in the game.

>>2440342

With each half of the ride in different colours.

>>2440603
god I wanna see that in motion

>>2440603
is that a mobius or is it just the same coaster designed to be mirrored?

>>2440202

It'd be interesting to extract RCT's E/I/N calculator and apply it to data from real world coasters.

>>2440728
Jewkart theme song.

has there been a hexacollab themed around the seven deadly sins yet? just an idea I had for when a few of the active collabs are finished

>>2440919
>hexa
>seven deadly sins

I have some bad news for you, anon...

>>2440924
there are 7 spots in a hexacollab m8

>>2440924
Don't ask me about the name, this is how a hexacollab look.

>tfw building your first (non-Giga) coaster with an extreme excitement rating
It doesn't even take that much space, though I guess that makes it too cramped to be pleasant to look at. I can't really into scenery, so that doesn't help either.
Anyway, I'm happy. Vertical Drop Roller Coasters are love.

>>2440932
because it resembles a hexagon kinda

>>2439876
>>2439882
I gave it a shot, took me about 4 tries. This is as close as i can get if you dont mind janky track merges

>>2440936
>max length station
absolutely disgusting

>>2440947
Not steel coaster trains?

>>2440947

>>2440257
>>2440603

Goddamn, that's sexy as fuck.

>>2440950
It needs many trains since they are distributed over two stations. I tried running it in block sectioned mode so I could shorten the stations, but it doesn't seem to work so well for Möbius coasters. Not to mention trying to build a saved Möbius track design in block sectioned mode instantly crashes the game, at least for me.

On another note, if a ride has more than one exit, can mechanics use any of them to repair the ride? I always have mechanics patrol in front of my roller coaster exits, so I kind of wondered if I have to cover both or just one exit of a Möbius coaster.

>>2441027
please save that track i need it

>>2440936
>needing a double coaster to get there

get pasta'd on kiddo

I think this is actually awful itself as well, but the ratings are good, clearly the game doesn't care as a mess of the same trees and a pasta monster gets a most beautiful park award

>>2440952
You're right anon, i fixed it

Now i just need to figure out how to get it to work

>>2441073
and now for something that doesn't hurt the eyes, but is not rewarded by our lord and savior Chris Sawyer with a ten or above

>tfw I will never make a coaster with a 10 Excitement

Agreed.

Something...something went wrong.

Help.

>>2441272
>4lateralGees

>>2441274
The game said the more curved the better, and it's not like I have a ton of room I can work with. I just can't seem to make coasters with good excitement, but the tilt-o-hurl is a gimme.

how do I git gud?

>>2441272
Need to see more of the coaster to help.

>>2441282
Use banked curves. If you can't, don't go around curves at 90 billion mph.

>>2441272
>>2441283
This. Post a screen of the whole track

>>2441287
Alright, so no turns at the bottoms of hills and don't make coasters that can't do banks. That ought to be a start.

>>2441283
I NOPE'd out of it as soon as I took the screenshot. Should I just not make custom coasters until I can understand them?

>>2441282
>the more curved the better
yeah within reason, this isn't spinal cord injury simulator

>>2441297
No, you should practice. Posting screens and receiving constructive criticism helps.

>>2441297
>don't make coasters that can't do banks
Didn't say that m8, just said not to let the trains take the corners at high speed.

>>2441272
>>2441282
>>2441297
It's always a good idea to imagine yourself riding the coaster. If you think the result would be a broken back, huge discomfort or anything like that you'll have to rebuild.

>>2441310
I haven't been on a coaster in forever - stomach's too weak, I'd throw up mid-ride. Even the IMAX simulators make me queasy.

>>2441302
Here's another shit coaster I came up with. Excitement of 3.33, Intensity of 10.86, Nasuea of 16.54

Can't find any better way to show it, sadly.

>>2441332
Your problem is the very tight inclined turn coming out of the tunnel. Widen that and it should be better.

>>2441332
>>2441382
What he said. Be mindful when making turns right after big drops as they will dramatically increase lateral g's therefore making your coaster a lot more intense. Also just so you know suspended swinging coasters are among the worst roller coasters in the game in terms of getting decent ratings so I would suggest something a little easier like wooden or looping/steel roller coasters.

Fridolin hurry up man, the better for the collab scenario is to pass it around to add new improvements to our parts. This way is more dynamic.

eh_collab passed on to Captain Moneybags. Enjoy.

>>2441840
How doth one get involved in the next collab?

>>2441860
Well, all of the current collabs appear to be full. So it looks like we'll have to add another.

>>2441865
Do they use any of the extras in the op or vanilla game?

>>2441885
The regular collabs are just the base game, using the Triple Thrill Pack.

Just remembered something for ok to suck v1; what coasters do we have?

>tfw didn't play RCT for about a year
>can't make good coasters anymore
why live?

Started revamping an old Dusty Greens save, here's the first new coaster.

>>2442220
looks great. How many trains can you run on it?

>>2441739
Alright alright. I'll finnish it today.

>>2442220
Two, second one is in the station.

>>2442223
>>2442228
Whoops, wrong reply.

>>2441076
What type of coaster is this?

>>2442239
looks like two twister coasters hacked together to make the loop so tight.

>>2442250
Alright thanks. Ive been here for a while now trying to recreate this with no success...

m80 r8y

>>2442264
Its twister and stand-up, its a little complicated but if you know map object manipulation its pretty simple.

Here's how i did it

>>2441073
>>2440936
What's the general rules behind getting excitement in a roller coaster anyway?

>>2440463
Guys help please. 640x480 is not much fun. see pic related.

God dam it!

>>2442226
Sending it to Posterfig.

LiaoScot, how is your progress on the "HOLY SHIT IT'S COLLAB TIME" collab?

>>2442414
frido you magnificent bastard.

>>2442414
This is really cool, I like the pipes connecting to the drop tower.

>>2442407
Always create coasters in scenario anon. Like A sandbox one with infinite money, flat land, and set auto save to weekly

>>2442407
At least you took screenshot so you have some hope in recreating it

>>2442326
But why create something like this? Just because?

Um...
How do I collab files again?

>>2442621
Verry carefully.

>>2442635

How do I play

update on the second canyon collab. still needs some extra building on the two developed islands and landcaping on the three undeveloped ones. jammed a roller coaster in there, too.

>>2442414
very pleasing to look at. props especially for making a giga that doesn't just go up and down.

>>2442789
Nice waterfalls. I guess you still work on that bridge right?
>>2442765
Doubleclick it.

>>2442765
Put the save game file in the RCT2 save game folder, then open it in-game.

>>2442974
>>2442836
yes i found out how to do it, thank you

I'll try to do it asap

>>2442414
This came out tops and the giga is awesome, it doesn't overpower the landscape and has a cool layout.

>>2442789
This has such a weird style but it all weirdly works, total 80's vibe with all the pastel.

It's so cool to see peeps doing all this awesome stuff with the map.

Gonna assume this is my spot on account of the helpful 5

>>2443430
the problem with that is they won't come back. Ever. The AI is programmed to spend years on the boat if you don't keep them in those stupid little borders. Even if you have a river 1 tile wide for them to follow, they'll never reach the station if they can avoid it.

>>2443481
That's just fucking bullshit. Did you even watch the boats go for a little while? They will return to the station and only very, very rarely get stuck, when the layout of the lake or the entry to the station is unusual.

>>2443457

>>2444015
but will it bank?

How do you install the windowed mode hack for RCT2? I can't remember personally and my friend has brain problems so he can't figure it out, what do?

>>2444251
extract to root

>>2444251
extract it and place in your rct2 programs folder anon-kun

>>2442379
It's all relative to the coaster type, really. There are some universal standards like with inversion based coaster types, but usually you should look towards a real life version of any coaster type to get a good idea of it.

Vertical drop coasters for instance, as the name implies, gain a lot of excitement from having vertical or near vertical drops and hills, also loops provide a good amount, usually when I'm making one of those terrain based 10+ excitement ones I use interlocking loops, the second of which is placed far enough after the first to keep intensity low. The problem with extremely high excitement coasters is unless you're really good at designing them they end up looking like a clusterfuck.

On a type of coaster without inversion, say a tall height steel of various types, you'll want a lot of airtime hills and long sweeping turns, usually in real life the ride will devolve from those hills into a more twister woodie kind of design before going back to the station. THis provides a variety in game that usually adds well to excitement over just an out and back hill coaster.

On coasters with inversions of various kinds what you always want to keep in mind is speed while inverted, this will get a ton of leeway in your design by lessening average G forces over the entire duration. Generally speaking you'll want to be between 16-27ish mph at maximum (usually that high only in purely vertical inversions with no rolls) and this will allow you to pack more inversions in, increasing excitement and keeping intensity relatively low. On these types of coasters it's very hard to keep intensity down in general, but you'll want to do what you can as more inversions means higher excitement.

On wooden coasters it's kind of more open to your interpretation, i've had some wacky woodies end up being high excitement, while a tried and true compact style has gotten me way too low ratings before. In general what you want is a lot of airtime I think.

>>2444461
Continuing this abortion of a post in terms of length, for coasters of a more individualized type like your bobsleds, flying turns, spiral coasters, side frictions, you'll want to probably stick to conventional real world designing to achieve the best excitement (although I do have a very nice and rather strangely made spiral coaster here i'm proud of)

I think really though excitement is relative, the rides I feel like would be the most exciting to experience in real life are nowhere near what the game itself rates ultra highly. What I shoot for usually when i'm not messing around with one coaster type until I can lock down general elements is aesthetic track design.

The way you utilize the environment around a coaster is also VERY important, and can mean the difference between a 9 and a 10.30+ extreme coaster. In the case of that RAgu one the scenario was perfect for following the gentle slopes and utilizing mountaintops in the drop, adding extra excitement from going underground multiple times along the way, and utilizing a double pass under the walkway overhead where peeps can see the awful saucy future they are in store for.

This post is getting huge too so i'll just leave you with the advice to always take note of elements created by others in game and in real life, and build something you think would be fun to ride.

finally a kinda decent coaster. Not a beauty but okay stats.

>>2444714
nice, I actually really like this, especially that big cutback to the left.

Ayy got this done for the "It's ok to suck" collab numba 2.

I didn't really change much from the last screenshot. I'm still really pleased with how this turned out. Just want to let the others in the collab know that they can delete the stuff that isn't in my square, it was just there for moneymaking purposes.

>>2444734
that coaster looks intense

>>2444734
Following the collab, this is a spiral coaster I made for my own little project that I am very pleased with. I'm hoping I can find some way to boost the excitement over 8, but these stats are still great for a spiral coaster. I'm also thinking of adding something around that banked straight section at the top after the lift hill, but I don't know what yet. Any suggestions appreciated.

>>2444737
Here's a pic with the stats, 7.58 is in the high range but isn't too bad I don't think. A lot of the inversions actually end up being pretty slow, so it doesn't get too crazy.

>Your guests are thinking: "This park is filthy".
>Hire 10 handymen
>"This park is filthy".

God damn it.

>>2444738
Your scenery work is great but I'm not really a fan of the coaster to be honest. It's so high and thin, especially after the lift hill, if you understand what I mean.

>>2444741
Impressive for a coaster which basically has a medium turn at the bottom of the 1st drop

>>2444742
From my experience, it's usually not a parkwide issue, but rather just a a few especially filthy pieces of footpath near the exit of a high nausea ride which cause every peep to come by to complain instantly. Just check the locations of the complaining peeps on the map and you will easily see which path causes the problem.

>>2444749
I know, that's why I want to add some scenery at that bit following the lift hill. I don't know what I'll do yet, though.

>>2444741

Yeah smooth out that part after the first drop and you could get the intensity closer to 7 without affecting the excitement too much.

The short hump into the medium turn is just pointless and forceful.
If you could fit a larger turn without losing too much speed for the rest of the coaster or a shorter first drop it'd be a perfect coaster.

>>2444714

Fuck you this looks great.

>>2442407

I had this once. I switched to always run as admin and never any more problems, do this for all programs, especially older ones.

Also, don't use windowed mode hack. It's buggy for me personally.

>>2439876

>That turn on the exit of the loop

I guess those trackwheels slow the train exiting the loop, at least unless they want to give people whiplash.

>>2440257

No, thay's cool in an extract kind of way, but it would look better sitting on something other than grass.

>>2444971
http://www.itv.com/news/central/2015-06-02/timeline-of-problems-on-the-smiler-at-alton-towers/
Here's a better tidbit.
It sounds like the cars just aren't sturdy enough for 14 inversions, especially since it starts off with a slow roll it's got to be sturdy.

Basically the staff sent an empty car through but didn't bother to wait for it to return to the station before sending a car loaded with guests through after. Since it crashed, they didn't even wait for it to reach the next block section either.

A shame, The Smiler's a really good ride when it's not falling apart.

>>2445156
Thanks. You mean like this?
You can't build paths on roof tiles though, so this doesn't really work.

>>2445125
If those walls can be sloped you could do this, you'd need to zero tolerances

>>2445191
>Saturday June 1: The world's largest roller-coaster finally opens at Alton Towers.
Most inversions, yes. Largest, probably not. Who writes this shit?

via reddit

>>2445226
Well that's retarded, why make it so steep when it should be obvious that there's no sprites for logs in that position.

However, there apparently are sprites for logs going down a turning slope, that's curious.

>>2445246
Maybe log flumes were planned to have diagonal tracks or wider turns, but these things were never implemented.

>>2445256
Yeah, that's probably it.

>>2445389
Thanks a bunch, I got the 1st method working now, only as long as the fence is at least two height units above ground level though. Otherwise, after pulling down the slope to make the fence levitate, the fence just disappears again when trying to adjust the ground. Weird.

What exactly is this zero tolerance stuff about? Do you need a trainer for it?

>>2445602
Zero tolerance removes the collision on objects so you can stack objects onto the same square. Like you can place bushes under a large tree. Afterwards you need to restore tolerances or it can cause weird glitches

Yeah you need a trainer, 8 cars has it.

>tfw still working on spooktober park but am too lazy to finish

I liked the look of the collab scenario so i've started using it as a sandbox with a vertical drop coaster that has the lift on the back end of the ride. I was going to try to make those two waved sloped turns intertwine but it wouldn't work for me.

You're not missing much angle wise, just one underground helix

What's TOGO stand for?

>>2445716
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOGO

>>2445550
Asian theme.
Dragon coaster.

I tried to recreate two coaster I saw whilst looking for ideas for a new section of my park, how did I do?

>>2445557
>>2445732
asian wild west theme

stand up dragon-themed coasters

>>2445969
They go wild for Wild West in some Asian parts man. So that's not even the worst idea

>>2445971
this
I studied in Japan for a year and they called me "cowboy" even though I'm from Boston

>>2445971
>western take on an eastern take on the west

>>2446000
I LIKE IT, LET'S MAKE A PARK ON IT

>>2445963
The speed layout is pretty cool, it reminds me of superman: ride of steel just re arranged. It has alot of lefts though, i'd be tempted to mirror the final bit, but it'd throw off the return to the station so idk

shot the collab over to creeping. here's what i've got. ended up running with the vaporwave theme. it came out passable.

>>2446171
I like it

>>2446171
>i have to follow this

>>2446171
This collab is just going to be people hating to follow the guys in front of them, isn't it?

I live in Washington state and the closest theme park that's decent is 6+ hours away. Can anyone try to recreate Timberhawk from Wild Waves in WA state for me? I've tried and I can't seem to get it right. I'd really appreciate it. Here's a pov https://youtu.be/x_cTEc3xng4

>>2446416
Twister woodies are so delightfully nuanced with their turning and banking airtime hills that theyre just undoable usually.

>>2445997
They'd probably call you cowboy even if you are from Europe.

tfw too tired to finish making this pretty

>>2445963
Speed looks Damn nice.

I probably should have checked the google doc before making my own 4x4 collab park

anywho each square is 35x35 with a 4 tile space in between

tried to have as big a scenery variety as possible but there's just too much available to make good choices, is that changed with openRCT?

>>2446519
OpenRCT is still Vaporware, or did something change since the last time I checked?

>>2446536
You can already play it. It even has some improvements already like the mountaintool being available and a cheat window for some basic trainer functionality

>>2446558
But you need the original RCT game files like open TTD, right?

>>2446563
you need RCT2 of some form, whether via disc, steam or GoG it doesn't matter. It even works fine with pirated versions of the game.

Once the entire game is ported to C and it gets a new set of graphics and sounds it will be standalone

As someone who has only ever played to beat scenarios without doing much scenery/landscaping I didn't feel confident enough to join a collab, so I decided to try and build stuff on a 25x25 space to practice. This is how it turned out.
Personally, I don't think I've ever made anything better than this in this game before, however that doesn't really mean much. What do you guys think? What's to improve?

>>2446614
looks really good
a bit cramped, maybe try to use a bit more colour variation in walls to make it feel more open

>>2446614
>swan boat ride in the aqueduct

make the track invisible with 8cars and that's a NED-level ride, my god

>>2446614
I like it. It looks very cozy and comfortable. I also like how you made a castle without the castle theme, so props for you.

Anyways, join the collab regardless. It's for anyone and for fun.

>>2446614
I always lurk in these threads and am in the same boat as you. Glad I'm not the only one

>>2446614
I love it. I think you're ready for collab building.
I like how you have one theme and stuck with it, but it looks like you didn't know what to do with the border area, so you just stuck a ton of shops and stalls in there. The buildings are great, though.

Corkscrews up; plz buff

>>2446691
ever been on a real one?

they're better than they should be, if anything

>>2446614
Damn son, that's nice as fuck.

>>2446693
Confirmed, Vecomas are painful to ride.

>>2446712
Arrows tend to have aged a bit better. All of the Arrow coasters I've been on were still decent rides, a little shaky at points but that's because they were probably designed on paper.

>>2446691
>>2446693
>>2446712
>>2446718
Here come the pain

>>2446721
There's even a fucking reminder to keep your head back. They put that on the back of every car.

>>2446721
>batwing into another batwing into a loop

>>2446712
anyone got that pic with how the rails of different coaster designers look like?

>>2446729
I could draw it for you but I'm on mobile >>2446728

>>2446731
Ignore that last quote

>>2446729
Thats what I got.

>>2446736
that is what I mean, thank you


Also, I've been working on the eh_collab.
I just remembered I can't scenery for shit.
Any ideas?

How do I make this coaster less bad

>>2446787
don't send it into a half loop+barrel roll that fast

remove cutback

profit

>>2446787
Find where that high lateral G spot is and get rid of it first of all, 2.5 is a bit much

>>2446614
I actually love this man, the best I can tell you in terms of CC is maybe incorporating those shops into the castle itself to hide them.

Oh, the life of an obsessive wiki editor.

>>2446818
Your life sounds comfy.

After 2+ hours of frustration and scrapping everything I put together I finally have something I'm not ashamed to post
now for the even more fun part of finding a theme for it

friendly reminder

>>2446892
I really do like the first element but after that it's quite a clusterfuck and only left turns. I'd have added an early break run and made the coaster shorter.

>>2446901
The latter is acceptable if you put a fence around it, to make a reflecting pool.

>>2446901
And this one is best, at least if there's surrounding scenery.

>>2446905
should I scrap the middle part and simplify it then?

>>2446914
I would have done that, but I'm also a big fan of spread out non compact coasters. Maybe wait for some more opinions if you like it as it is.

>>2446901
>>2446910
>>2446912
A mix can be good too.

>>2439837
I've never seen people get injured but yea they high five on the way up.

>>2446765
thank you for ignoring me :)

>>2446765
>>2446943
Ugh alright, lower that wall around the fountain by one, so the peeps can actually look at it.
For the rest go with a generic garden theme.
Plenty of flowers and collorfull trees around the coaster. Maybe a carousel and or a ferris wheel

>>2446961

I though maybe making the upper/upper right/possibly upper left too a little castle-y, making the rest garden?

>>2446970
go for it.

>>2446970
Castle always work well with garden/forest themes. I do like your coaster, it's modest and good looking, every coaster don't need to be a meatball or steel tangleball.

>spoiler
Just fuck my shit up fam

Thanks for all the feedback, I appreciate it!

>>2446619
To be fair, I stole the idea from a RCT1 scenario which had a boat ride like that. I've always wanted to use it in a park.

>>2446683
>>2446801
Yeah, in retrospect, I probably should have made the aqueduct 23x23 and left out the outer paths. The way it is now it's kind of a waste of space, though I do like the idea of having a rest area with just stalls and some flowers outside the castle.

>>2446970
What in the fuck am I looking at?

>>2446892
I completely agree with >>2446905, and the left turns just seem to pad the way of just going straight to the station.

If you are going to do a compact coaster try to change direct often and fold the track so the it isn't always just heading straight back to the station.

>>2446912
That's a nice-looking checkmark, anon. Did you use a tablet?

>>2446970
I like stacking the coliseums but those huge black supports look ugly as shit. Abort!

>>2447065
I did. I have an Intuos4 that I don't use nearly as much as I wish I did.

>>2447051
eehh a bit late for that unfortunately as I've already started theming it
I know it's too much grey and brown but I'm okay with it since I'm not too good at scenery yet

>>2447114
Looks nice anon!

>>2446970
Perfect. Keep it the way it is.

Now this small giga is going to be a crusher, with the first drop going underground into a visual like one of these, which one looks most pleasing to you?

>>2447181
I'd say the last one, with the big cogs.

>>2447181
I love me some big, fat, juicy cogs ~<3

>>2446892
>>2446905
This is how I would have built it. Slower, not as intense (or exiting) but not as much of a spaghetti monster. Of course there's no objectively right way to build a coaster and the original do have better stats but I do think my version look slightly better and more comfortable from an IRL perspective.

>>2447114
Add an underground passage somewhere, it'll look great and boost the stats. Maybe at the 180 degrees helix in the middle of the coaster, before the last big hill.

>>2447181

With me, that makes three. Big Cogs.

>>2442226
>>2445152
How difficult would it be to mod a new track element piece into the game?

>>2446818
>"Crash on one of the fastest rollercoasters in the world!"

>>2447373
pretty much imposssible

>>2447373
Question 1: Are you Chris Sawyer?
If you answered no, then no
If you answered yes, then no

I don't know if there's an actual thing like this but I was thinking about it for a coaster element, not necessarily in RCT but whatever

so, banked turn, go into a helix. Except it continues banking, so the helix curls outward and flips you upside-down completely at about mid-way, before continuing to bank upwards so you're level again, or even curling further to keep you banked.

is this a thing that exists? basically thinking a barrel/heartline roll combined with helices.

>>2447373
It might become possible with Open RCT2. But even If it would likely be limited to things like level to steep transitions for woodies. Everything requiring car sprites that aren't there or elements that don't already exist on other coasters would require much work.

>>2447469
So I whuldn't expect something like >>2447462
to happen anytime soon.

>>2447471
Oh I know, I'm not saying I'd want that in RCT necessarily, just if it was a thing that existed

>>2447469
I can't wait for large half loops for Dive coasters.

>>2447269
unfortunately my game crashed so I decided to try your suggestion and it seems to have done the trick, and that's without all the garbage scenery to add

>>2447484
I think you could get those in with a trainer. The vehicle sprites are there from the smal loop and the twister track looks almost identical besides the suports.

>>2445550
JUST AWESOME

THIS THING IS ORGASMIC

>that station
>different exit, entrance and station cover
Someone will have to explain this because I'm confused.

>>2447743
The entrance/exit always share color with the main color scheme, while the stations have an alternate color scheme.

>>2447748
Oh right.

>>2447479
>all those lateral Gs pulling you out of your seat

so, whenever I try and import the vpack into my scenarios folder, it breaks my time twister maps and the vast majority of the park in the "other parks" folder. Has anyone else had this problem?

>>2448012
>LOOK AT THIS BEAUTIFUL FUCKING LANDSCAPE YOU GET TO WORK WITH

>HA HA YEAH FUCKING RIGHT, ENJOY THE TOO-HIGH-FOR-SUPPORTS ASSHOLE

I'm not the best when it comes to small spaces, any ideas what I should put here?

>>2448012
speaking of which
Not the best stat-wise, and I don't like how sprites close to the edge don't really work underground, but otherwise i like these, at least stylistically.

same as above; don't like the stats but i like the style

a little annoyed that i didn't have the room to do my normal two-station design.

>>2448042
E - 6.09
I - 8.75
N - 4.59

Is it possible to make custom tracks where part of the tracks are invisible so it looks like the train is floating through the air? Would love to do cool loop things or cool launch towers.

>>2448083
8 cars has a make invisible special action but i've never got it to work.

It is possible though, Meizhou Rising on ned has a bunch of it.

>>2447996
Generally I prefer simple over advanced ass coasters with 200 elements.

>>2448012
I love Whispering Cliffs, it's a fun challange.

Finished my canyon spot today. Have fun Hemi! again

>>2447725
I just like streaming comfy RCT for people in the thread, that's hardly advertising. I'll spoiler it in the future if it makes you feel better

after a lot of irritation and swearing, I'm almost done with this square except this bare spot. what would fit best here?

>>2448132
if you ask me, another coaster, because
coasters

everywhere

>>2448132
your station is super box shapped
maybe a food court?

>>2448140
yeah I'm not the most creative person, I was thinking food court as well

>>2448132
Conifer forest.

>>2440097
>excitement: medium
every time

>>2448042
You could lower intensity by a whole lot just by making that first sloped turn wider, the tightest turns there right after a drop are probably adding alot to the problems

I really like the idea of this though, and even as it is the stats aren't too bad.

>>2448012

Whispering Cliffs isn't the same without multiple vertical coasters.

Alright I think I'm done. filled in the empty spaces with shrubs and conifers

could have done a lot better but after the second crash I kinda just said fuck it

r8, h8, appreci8

>>2448275
ad a second teir to the roof on the box in the middle 3 rows itll look way better

I just completed Mothball Mountain, what do you all think?

>>2448578
I never understood the obsession with the cramped scenarios.

I couldn't help but roll my eyes and groan every time.

>>2448583
They're better when there's some bit of speed required, Year 3 Oct is way too long to be a challenge and the park is too small to enjoy all that time

>>2448578
i miss the woodie and steelie trains from RCT1, Chris should have put them in as a cosmetic option in 2.

>>2447982
Truly Slav disco polka style

Quick ride time and price scales with intensity. It'll last at $10 for over a year, assuming no other high excitement rides are placed down.

>>2448909
I don't care as long as they make me money.

>>2448875
Is there any way to add OpenRCT to Steam? Steam doesn't recognize the .application file. And if I try to set up the "Steam Stub" nothing changes.

>>2448914
Keep us updated hun

This Park feels so much like it was built in RCT. Kinda comfy but it's also a mess. Still great childhood memories.

>>2448942
Ok, well here's the current situation. Nowhere near completion but I'm surprised that the most profitable ride in the park are the river rapids. Now I've ignored them in favour of rollercoasters in the past but if the current trend of water rides being ace as fuck continues, I may have to put some research into them.

>>2448954
maybe the maintenance costs for the river rapids are low.

>>2448956
No, it's actually the second most expensive behind the woodies which leads me to believe running costs are proportionate to the amount of cars or trains on the ride which if justifiable. In any case it's irrelevant because the finance table calculates ride income and running costs separately.

>>2448583
I love them, the objective in itself is generally not that hard but to both complete it and build a nice looking park is a fun challenge.

>>2448719

Why are mine coasters so damn comfy?

Darn, they go from strength to strength with every update nowadays. Guess it's time to update again.

>>2448918
Just add all the files and rename openrct2.exe to rct2.exe.

>>2448980
They just work great with the landscape. To bad there's no banked downwards turns.

>>2448986
nvm found the steam stub, it just put it into the root of my C: drive instead of the RCT folder.

>tfw OpenRCT is full of great time-saving features but will never perform as well as the vanilla game

>>2449001
stop playing on a toaster. jk. Did you enable hardware rendering?
Also where does OpenRCT save the giant screenshots?

>>2448954
putting all those intense rides so close to the entrance will make guests not go on the rides in the back half of the map from my experience.

good luck m8

>>2449005
screenies are saved in mydocs/openrct2

>>2449005
The game still chugs on large/complex parks. Either that or my i7 870 just isn't fast enough for Rollercoaster Tycoon.

OpenRCT saves screenshots to Documents\OpenRCT2\screenshot. Unfortunately the program cuts off the top corner of the map, so you still have to go back in, take a couple of regular screenies and stitch them back on in Photoshop. Still saves a lot of time compared to the old method.

>>2449015
works here, full map with top corner

>>2449005
We've been over this, the problem is not with your computer but the way they have to compile the game for it to work as an addon on the original assembly code. The performance will be lacking until OpenRCT2 is a stand alone application.

>>2449015
>>2449020
It most likely defines the edges of the screenshot as the corners of the map at minimum height, so different elevations in the top region may cause that area to be cut off.

>>2449035
yeah, just tried it. sad.

>>2449023
At least someone remembers.

>>2449015
Open RCT doesn't seem to utilize that much multicore at the moment

Just a heads up for people who still think jew karting is a good idea.

The standard jew kart and the Swinging Inverter Ship were both built at the same time 3 years ago and have made a similar total profit. The full station Go-Kart at the bottom is a design I have elsewhere in the park and it's made $32k in 2 years.

Max station = More cars = More Dosh.

>>2449149
Isn't the Jewcart built with a full station nowadays?

>>2449160
It should be. Every time I've seen someone using the smallest designs I've kindly and sometimes not so kindly explained how useless it is.

Post Open RCT2 themes. Can't find any colections online yet, so I'm gonna start one.

>>2449149
>>2449160
>>2449164
The two tile station jewcarts aren't about efficiency, it's about peep return on investment. When a peep pays to go on a swinging inverter ship, that's an actual RIDE. People have fun on those. When they pay to ride a maxstation track, they get to open up the throttle, go fast. People have fun with that.
But when they pay to go on a tiny little track, they don't get to accelerate, because there's no room to. Just two u-turns and a few feet of straightaway. They're paying for an unfun experience. And THAT'S why two tile station is the best jewcart setup.
