I started making a park from the /v/ scenario Luna Park, first couple coasters turned out alright. I was proud the first coaster I'd built in like 13 years ended up with a 9 excitement.

>>2468817
I really neglect most of the coasters, I tend to stick to a select few. Wooden, corkscrew, and twister give or take a few others. I don't know why, but a lot of them just don't interest me as much. I also never build water rides.

They are slow through them, the brakes tone it down. The loops killed me at first until I raised it an elevation. It went from 10.0X to whatever it is now. I might raise it again to slow and see what happens.

>>2469160

>>2469154
>>2469163
Standup coasters IRL seem like a failed experiment. Standing doesn't add much to the ride, and the older ones have gotten really rough.

The Riddler's Revenge is still cool, though.

>>2469321
>that flat spin
oh god my dick

>>2469331
The inclined loop is far more arousing.

>>2469321
Riddler's Revenge, Green Lantern (formerly Chang), and Georgia Scorcher are great rides

Other than that, they'd all be better as floorless coasters. Cedar Point has the right idea.

>>2469321
I think the same. Togo started working on stand-ups because they're fucking crazy, but later on other manufacturers decided to give it a second look, because a lot of Togo's innovation was duplicated and improved by others. It didn't end up being the *next big thing* as far as coasters go, instead it was more like the flavor of the month sort of thing for a while there. But novelty is important in the amusement business, so I think that's part of why so many stand-up coasters were built.

Speaking of Togo innovations, their ultra-twister/heartline twister designs deserve a second chance.

>>2469321

>failed experiment

Weird that a lot of money is invested in stuff like that considering it can be tested before you commit to a project or two.

>>2469334
that's what I meant lel, skiing terms

>>2469331
>>2469360
I was sitting here for like 5 minutes trying to figure out what you were talking about when you called that a flat spin

>>2469363
Isnt flat spin interchangeable with corkscrew in roller coaster terminology?

>>2469376
yeah, it pretty much just means corkscrew

I was kind of confused why that guy was so excited over a corkscrew until it came out that he meant the inclined loop

>>2469363
>>2469376
>>2469384
in skiing a flatspin is a kind of corked out backflip where you go up and to the side instead of straight back, hence why I referred to the inclined loop as that. Had no idea they called corkscrews that in the coaster world.

>>2470480
it was trash while it had the loop though

after they fixed it up and took out the loop, it was great. not that the loop was the problem, they used lighter trains after the refit and they couldn't make the loop.

Not exactly RCT related, but does anyone know why coasters with the track shape in pic related are all so rough and clunky? Or is it just a Vekoma issue or something?
Every single time I rode El Condor, Superman (now called X-Press or some shit) and Speed Of Sound (ex-La Via Volta) at Walibi Holland and Efteling's Python I felt like I came off with a concussion (though El Condor hasn't been too bad since they "fixed" it), which fucking sucks since they're all great coasters. And to make it worse, it wouldn't even be that big a deal if they all just had lap bars instead of those piece of shit shoulder restraints, but I'll save that rant for another day.

>>2470480

Son of Beast was awful. It looked pretty and that was about it.

>>2470950
I never had a chance to ride Son of Beast. Can you tell me what I'm missing?

Awesome idea though, it sucks great big donkey balls knowing absolutely no one irl who cares for coasters as much as I do.

>>2470983
Old woodies a shit, New compact woodies a best get out of here hippie.

I attempted to post this on /v/ but e3 made it impossible, so I hoped I could discuss it her.
What does /v/ think of the Roller Coaster Tycoon series?
I played this quite a bit when I was younger and I saw these games in the recent summer sale and decided to get them again. It's been so long that i didn't quite remember which one i liked the most. It really comes down to Either 2 or 3; 2 makes RCT 1 redundant as 2 is the same as 1 but better and you can just get the RCT 1 scenarios in 2 anyway.

More to the point however, I thought I had disliked 3 and preferred 2 but that's mostly my nostalgia talking because after playing both 2 and 3 again, I feel like I have to admit that at the end of the day, RCT3 is best of the series. It's just an all around improvement over 2 in every regard, except for the artstyle, in my opinion.

I wanted to know what other RCT players here thought about the series.

>>2470950
iirc, the giant bowl at the bottom was really fun. Although my memory is hazy.

It was shit compared to The Beast, but that didn't mean much. The Beast is one of the best coasters, period.

>>2471024
>RCT3
>Better than 2

Better put up your flame shield newfriend.

>>2471024
>It's just an all around improvement over 2 in every regard

>>2471027
That's why I'm here though
I want to discuss the subject and to get second opinions

>>2471024
That's a pretty looping coaster.

>>2471024
>RCT3 is best of the series. It's just an all around improvement over 2 in every regard, except for the artstyle, in my opinion.
Well, your opinion is wrong.

>>2471031
No one here wants to have that discussion with you. Leave before it's too late.

>>2471024
The general opinion, which I agree with, is that RCT2 is the best game in the series by quite a margin and that RCT3 is only good for riding your rides.

>>2471030
Well the very fact that an RCT General exists at all here tells me that I am a much more casual player of the games compared to others here so I want to the opinions of more experienced players.

In summary, the r are 3 tings that 3 superior:
They made the UI a lot more organized and easier to navigate.
Managing your staff and shops has many more options and details to edit that make it all more efficient.
A 3D environment is far more preferable to contruction than static 2D camera angles.

>>2471024
RCT2 is superior to RCT1 save for the scenarios. Luckily RCT1's scenarios have all been recreated for RCT2 so it's pretty much all you need.
RCT3 is competent and looks nice at times but it lacks the depth, accessibility and overall charm of the earlier titles.

>>2471046
>They made the UI a lot more organized and easier to navigate
I don't think I could possibly disagree with you more.

>>2471046
>They made the UI a lot more organized and easier to navigate.

>>2471046
>They made the UI a lot more organized and easier to navigate.
Maybe I'm just used to the original interface, but IMHO RCT3's interface is a clusterfuck.

>Managing your staff and shops has many more options and details to edit that make it all more efficient.
The staff training was fucking retarded and there was no reason for every attraction to have a separate staff member. I will agree with you on the customization of shops, though.

>A 3D environment is far more preferable to contruction than static 2D camera angles.
Again, I'm probably just used to the 2D isometric view, but I wasn't a huge fan of the 3D shit (which, by the way, wasn't optimized at all and ran like shit at night without the one patch).

>>2471046
I disagree with you about the UI but honestly that doesn't matter to me. The graphics and overall feel they bring is what make me prefer RCT2 quite heavily over 3. The feel of the original games is quite unique, RCT3 does not feel special in the same way. Also, the graphics of the first and second game does not age, they are still absolutely beautiful while RCT3 suffer from its age.

>>2471062
>IMHO RCT3's interface is a clusterfuck.
Not just your opinion, I started with RCT3 and the interface is a clusterfuck.

>I will agree with you on the customization of shops, though.
Damn shame most of the customization options meant jack and shit.

>I wasn't a huge fan of the 3D
GOOD 3d would be better for RCT than 2d isometric. RCT3 didn't have good 3d, or even passable 3d.

>>2470939
Idk Playland has a Vekoma corkscrew built in 1985 and it's a pretty smooth ride

>>2471062
My issue with staff in rct2 is that they would wander the park actually ignore problematic areas of the park and would have to manually pick up each, say, janitor to bring him to the vomit covered bridges. In 3, I can just issue them patrol areas and they'll clean on their own

>>2471076
You can issue areas to staff in RCT2.

>>2471076
You can assign patrol areas in RCT and RCT2, anon.

>>2471082
Well, then it looks like my arguments favoring 3's management are null and void.

The issue of camera stop remains for though because I have a lot of trouble recognizing proper heights seeing in crowded area. In 2, I know there are options to hide assets but I'm 3, all I need to do is hold the mouse wheel button an rotate the camera to see in tight areas

>>2471102
Sorry for typos I am on my phone

>>2471102
The isometric view of rct 1/2 can be seen as a disadvantage, but it such an integral part of how the game functions and plays that I (and probably most of the people here) learn to just deal with it as a side effect of the game's style.

>>2471076
But you can issue patrol areas for staff in RCT and RCT2 as well. There's no need to pick them up unless you give them a super huge patrol area.

And just like the rest, I largely prefer RCT2 over 3.

>>2470897
>>2470950
I swear I'm the only one who ever liked it. Maybe because I rode it when it first opened and I was like 11, but still. Loopless version was fun too.

>>2471014
Agreed, gigas and hypers do a much better job at being huge, spread out coasters filled to the brim with both positive and negative vertical G's.
Woodies that are compact and packed tight with twists and turns always give me that out of control, "oh god this track wasn't built for this speed why are we going so fast" feeling which is what woodies are all about for me.

old-style woodies are much more aesthetically pleasing than both compact ones and steelies in RCT tho

>>2471024
I personally prefer 2. I absolutely love the art style of it and I feel like I can get way more creative with that than 3. Gotta admit I'm heavily biased though, first of all RCT 1 and 2 were pretty much my main childhood games while 3 came a bit too late to feel the same level of nostalgia for it, and secondly 3 ran like shit on the pc I had back then and I haven't played it again since I got rid of said pc.
I'm gonna install it again soon though. Come to think of it it wasn't even that bad, what with being able to get a POV perspective on most rides, a greater variety in coaster elements (a lot of which I heavily miss in 2, like bigger corkscrews, inclined loops, and my no.1 coaster fetish the dive loop. Holy shitballs, going through one of those fuckers never fails to give me a raging hard-on), pools, fireworks (another hobby of mine), and complete camera freedom. The latter did take some getting used to at first though. I was so used to the good ol' isometric view it just confused my poor autismal brain and almost caused me to drop it straight away.

>>2471272
Correction on the 3d camera, just read the rest of the thread which leads me to believe I just had issues with it because it's shitty.
I wouldn't know why it's considered to be so bad though, anyone care to explain?

>>2471291
I'll start with godawful draw distance.

>>2471297
Huh, I always just attributed that to the fact that my pc was pretty awful. Hell, most of the problems I had I just blamed on my pc, but after reading some reviews just now I see those are all issues inherent to the game.
Man, this sucks. I was pretty stoked to give it another shot too. I mean I'm still going to do so tomorrow, but I don't have such high hopes anymore.

>>2471024
>RCT3 is best of the series.

>>2470972
I did plan on going to Cedar Point at least once this year.

>>2470939
Theyre rough because of the poor manufacturing process. Vekoma, Arrow, and Togo used that kind of track back in the early days of tubular steel when they just winged it with the bending. Nowadays they meticulously verify for perfect splines to get the track accurate to the millimeter. The style of the track ties is correlated via manufacturer but not causal.

>>2471102
I liked the camera of RCT3 at times, but after years of playing RCT1/2, I'm used to the isometric view, so it doesn't bug me.
>>2471669
Not to mention that shit was designed on paper.

>>2471674
>paper
The engineers still ought to be competent enough to cast their final sketch into splines and feed it into a simplistic simulation. With splines you get a perfect description of the track shape to check your manufacturing.

Its scenarios like this one where compact cheap designs are massively OP. Thanks for the cheap coasters /vrct/. Didn't even need to use the hills.
It's late I decided to do a quickie don't hurt me

>>2471923

>>2471669
>accurate to the millimeter
I remember we had 2 documentaries posted, one about B&M production and one about that big inverted boomerang.
B&M actually used measuring systems while Vekoma just put plumb bobs on the track pieces and compared it with markings drawn on the factory floor.

>>2471024
The 3D models in RCT3 fall into the uncanny valley for me. It's fixable with CSOs, but I rather compare the bare games.
The collision detection is bad. Being unable to put a wall next to a path on the same tile is impossible even with a modified configuration file. Again this does not go for CSOs.
The prethemed rides are also something I don't realy enjoy. This goes for the RCT2 expansions as well.
Pic related Is the best I could do with normal RCT3 scenery and a modified config file.

Whoa.

>>2472750
Because you built it on uneven land and the height limits don't apply to the landscape you're placing it on.

>>2472759
highest point is 30m (+20 units), station is at 9m (+6), and the lowest point at 3m (+4). So I'm pretty sure I should be able to build it on flat land...

>>2472770
err, I meant lowest point at 6m (+4)

>>2472770
Maybe the scenery if screwing it up then. Try building it without it.

Made a new map thing. Build a park in a cave with low ceilings.

>>2472495
New rollercoasters have like a year window where you're able to charge like 1.5-2x as much as you would normally be able to. After that year is up all the guests will suddenly stop riding it and complain that it's too expensive.

>>2472935
do you have building rights for the chunks that are surrounded by tunnel? So you can, well, tunnel through them and shit?

>>2472935
My open RCT doesn't open it. No error message, nothing.
Just to be sure, the 2 extra files go into the objData folder right?

>>2472975
Nah you've just got what you see there, i should've done that though dammit

>>2472997
That should be it yeah, i saved with custom objects selected and those 2 dats are custom rides (which i dont think the save includes). I'm not sure whats giving you the error.

Ok Im done with my Canyon collaboration part.

Anyone wants it to add even more things?

Now I must continue with my Diablo 2 Simulation Park. >:)

>>2472997
>>2472935
I posted an issue in the repo, I'm not sure what's causing it.

>>2473063
Actually, it's missing objects. Re-export it with save plug-in data enabled.

>>2469452
You're not the only one who can do a thing.

>>2473057
I love the gentle ride going over pavement.

Pleasantly surprised at how much punishment a Mine Coaster can take.

Lets try this again

Made some modifications, added some purchasable construction rights and removed cso that wasn't used. If it doesn't work i dunno what's missing.

Hello /rctg/; I grabbed the RCT2 download and the extras pack last night. I'm assuming setting everything up is pretty straightforward? ie install RCT2 and then do... something...? with the extras pack.

>>2473153
Look at the speed values, there's your answer.

>>2473128
You need to save it in the scenario editor with plug-in objects on.

>>2473169
I have been, what's missing? I'm guessing its something like mg(somthing).dat or moldbg.dat right?

>>2473158
yes

>>2473253
CENAFWC1 is one of them.

>>2473271

Third times a charm.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/0356f0w8jq6g82j/Craven_Cavern_3.rar

>>2473271
Thanks. That should've solved it.

Alright so cenafwc1 is a ride called "custom ferris wheel" (which is why it wasn't been exported). It was included in "lottes world" a ned park. I have no idea what it does, it's invisible and can't be deleted from the ride list but park dat will pick it up. Hopefully its what was causing all the problems

>>2473274
This is what i thought too

>>2473552
Works, many thanks!

>>2473162
this only raises more questions

>>2473872
Not really, I can only think of one way to get a static speed over an entire track. It's pretty much open and shut.

>>2473108
Damn that looks cool.

>>2473872

Look at the station layout, it's a pretty well-known and easily repeatable glitch.

>>2473108
this is great looking

apologies to people behind me on the Canyon Collab 2, I've been dealing with irl stuff and had zero inspiration to RCT in my free time, pic related is as far as i've gotten
I can either send it as is to the next person and come back to my part when everyone else is done
OR
just leave entirely and have someone else take over my spot

>>2473906
>>2474005
i am unaware of this glitch, could you elaborate?

>>2474046
the guests get on in the first station and almost immediately get off at the second. Then the rollercoaster does a bunch of crazy shit

>>2474058
Actually I misread it probably just drops back into the station because there's nothing to propel it up that hill

>>2474074
That wouldn't cause a 13min ride time, though.

>>2474043
just pass it on imo, you can always put your name at the back of the list and come back to it.

>>2473552
Can you put that in .zip format? I'm at work and can't install 7-zip/Winrar on my workstation.

>>2470008
>drive past Great America all the time when visiting gf
>too poor to actually go
Fucking suffering.

>>2474043
you can do it brah

>>2474046
Basically, the train is too long for the one-tile station, so the final car rests in the exit station. When the ride starts, it tricks the game into thinking it's arriving at the station, so it goes through the entire ride like that, at 4 mph. Which is why it's so goddamn long.

>>2474272
>Basically, the train is too long for the one-tile station, so the final car rests in the exit station. When the ride starts, it tricks the game into thinking it's arriving at the station, so it goes through the entire ride like that

I screwed around with the glitch a while back and it's more complicated than that. I'm not sure what it is but it's not just having the train overlapping both stations; the glitch doesn't work with a Giga for example. IIRC it only works with the 6-seater hypertwister cars and 6-seater wooden coaster cars (both forwards and backwards) - but not the hypercoaster, which is also a 6-seater train. AFAIK it's only those three train types where the glitch works.

>>2474306
Interesting. I wonder why that is.

It's something with tricking the train that it's arraiving in the station. I don't have the screenshots on this computer but you can also do it with any coaster able to launch backwards (if I remember correctly, will probably do some experiments tomorrow) by only giving them enough speed to almost enter the station.

>>2474272
Interesting, I'll have to play around with that. The retarded intensity ratings are still a mystery, though.

Hydro Hills will always be one of my favorite parks in RCT1.

>>2474716
is that a hyper-twister in RCT1? what is this?

>>2474726
Yep. The hyper-twister is basically the twister coaster using the "non-looping" trains.

to that one other Melbro on /vrct/
I tried to recreate Luna Park and it just made me hate it even more for how shit it is bar the Scenic Railway which has a 7.44 excitement rating

>>2474917
Don't guests get lost as fuck with paths like that?

>>2474920
that's what the paths are like irl, huge areas of concrete with rides littered around within the confines of the Scenic Railway (Wooden Rollercoaster)
>took 7 game years to make it and haven't encountered any major guest problems with it though

>>2474920
In RCT2 they're supposed to be kinda fine with bigger paths like that.

>>2474043
Just pass it on and do the park when things clear up for you.

>>2474917
That's kind of cool, can you post more screens?

Sent my canyon collab progress to Eden to come back to later

>>2474323

More hexacollab progress. Decided to make an old west style town between the canyon and the railroad track, and I'm pretty happy with how it came out. The large building has a mini maze inside of it, and there are sheriff and bandit entertainers roaming the rooftop patio.

>>2475573
still need to fix up the whole setting outside of the park but it's such an ugly park irl so it hurts a little working on it

>>2476690
very cool

>>2476628
Hope so.

I at least hope that it's not on the bloathog that is Unity

>>2476784
Unity's a perfectly decent 3d engine, it's just that it's also babby's first 3d engine so it attracts all the talentless retards. It's the fundamental problem with "easy to use".

>>2476690
lookin good fellow melbro

>>2476814
I also don't understand what people's fundamental problem with Unity is. Is it the FL Studio of engines?

>>2476874
It's really easy to use, but as a result people who can't code worth shit can code with it. The bar for "unity programmer" is really low, so the bar for "unity program" gets dragged down. Add to that, anybody who's good enough to use another engine likely is already using another engine. End result is a lot of trash code in commercial games that taints the engine's name.

I wish I had this before I built the white twister coaster.

New looping coaster with my favorite gimmick.

>>2476556

Now, without further ado,
a giga coaster

>>2477203
hang in there, if you pull this off, it's gonna be the collab spot of the year

>>2477203
I lack an image that fully conveys my emotions on this matter.

I would say send it so the rest can finish their own parts and he can redo his part at the end when things become better for him.

mhh comfy, great childhood combination

>>2477203
If you have a minimum radius turn in the first tunnel, you should be dragged out and shot.

>>2477812
I'll just start I mean.

large coaster into the center? Water rides? Cozy family rides?

>>2477759
Large turn left and then a few straights and large turns right.

I will live.

Excitement was 2 with the small curves

>>2477897
Giant maze.

No wait, multiple mazes, with each exit connected to only one or two entrances to form a larger maze.

>>2477897
A mix of everything, with a giant mangled coaster in the mix. Make it dive between paths and rides.

>>2477897
that purple coaster in the top corner is rad

>>2476587
So that's five RCT-esque games in development right now. Are there any we're missing on this list?

>>2478505
Knoebels is fucking awesome. Beats out the other parks here in PA

>>2478575
I liked Hershey Park a lot but havent been to any other PA parks. How does it compare?

>>2478583
Knoebel's is a lot more laid-back and relaxed than any other park I've been to.

Hershey is a massive high-energy park, Knoebel's is slow-paced and better for just plain unwinding.

>>2478583
Knoebels is well, comfy.

Its a lot of walking. The whole park is situated in the woods, and they left tons of trees and shit. There aren't many thrill rides (They have 1 steel coaster, two woodens, a bobsled coaster, and a few "thrill" rides), but the allure is the atmosphere and the nostalgia.

They have a few free museums, lots of old time rides (which while not exciting are fun), and a couple rare rides like their Haunted Mansion (One of the last pretzel car houses left)

The food is great and its just fun. There are fuckloads of things to do and its free admission/parking (You pay per ride)

So how do I get the RCT 1 missions going on RCT 2?

halp

>>2478650
Bank the first two turns -- like you have it -- then have a larger drop. Start again from there.

>>2478665
I'm going to just start over and build the station first and probably change coaster types. I wish you could use boosters or lift hills for the end.

>boosters or lift hills for the end
Speaking of which, how is merged track treated? Can you merge segments to have a normal speed chain lift and a hacked chain lift boost in one ride? Will the segment of track with no station break down due to the hacks? Will the segment with the station break down instead?

>>2478650
-2 vertical G
There's part of your problem.

>>2478625
Download the files and drop them in the Scenarios folder of the RCT2 directory.

>>2478316
It's a real thing.

>>2479069
it still makes me sick

>>2478316
Well, I really crammed it into the corner, as you can see the overall area isn't that big.

>>2478727
Nah you can only have one lift hill speed, even if you merge two different tracks. The lift speed seems to be attached to the train itself

>>2478625
adding to this
>>2479016
RCT 1 files usually dont have the hyphen in their names

>>2479276
Look in the OP, there are recreations of the RCT1 maps.

Finished Big Pier this morning. Really proud of the corkscrew coaster in the back -- it was a puzzle trying to fit both the coaster and the queue/exit paths around the steel mini. Love this game but haven't played through a lot of the scenarios, so I have been changing that.

>>2479072
LOOK AT IT

>>2479664
>Jetline
Neeeeeato. I've always loved that coaster and it's even better now with their "new" woodie and the wild mouse twisting through it.

>>2479727
yeah while i was trying forever to find lift hills with turns in them, i came across that coaster. with all the shit going on around it, it really feels like RCT in real life.

lucky swedes

>>2476571
Poor Atari
They were already dead, they may had a slice of hope of being slightly revelent with Roller Coaster Tycoon 4 (despite looking like utter shit), and some devs go full Skylines on them, before the release.

>>2479735
Gröna Lund itself is like a RCT park come to life. The space is really limited and they can't really expand so they have to build compact as fuck. I mean, the darn place was basically full like 8 years ago and since then they've added 4 coasters and only demolished a swinging ship to make space.

Unfortunately they moved this piece of junk to their sister park, it was one of my favorite rides.

Not really related but.

>Have urge to play Rail Road Tycoon.
>Steam versions don't work on modern PCs
>Can't find disks anywhere.

>>2479787
I have RRT3 somewhere on disk, I maybe could rip it if I find the case

>>2479748
These new RCT-ish games better step up and deliver, because the competition is there. If one game fails, the others will destroy it.

alright I'm just framing this out for now, any ideas on how to make it look like the ground is slumping out from under it?

>>2479889
still bretty shit

Ah, this is really nice.

Just send it over and Ill fix the two

>>2480317
Bolliger & Mabillard, a swiss coaster maker. They're the ones that make the real-life coasters that the Twister, Stand-up Twister, Floorless, Vertical Drop, Hyper-Twister, Flying, and Inverted Roller Coasters in RCT are based off of. They have a very distinct track style, which tends to give their trains a distinctive roar, and they're renowned for glass-smooth rides.

RRT is simpler.

The work continues. I'm gonna cover the ravine access lift in a similar fashion as the circus line, and add a mine train coaster opposite the railroad. As a matter of fact, should I cover the circus itself or leave it open? Looks a bit awkward at the moment with the entrance as it is.

>>2480597
personally i think the circus looks fine being open, especially if you want to cover the elevator. you dont want to end up with a big blob of squarish buildings.

that being said your spot looks awesome. the broken dam and train track is great

>>2480645
Okay,I'll keep it open for now, maybe put some high fences or something around it to make it all pretty. And thanks, I'm pretty happy with how it's shaping up. I'm kind of holding off on putting in a big epic main attraction until I nail down the aesthetic of the rest of the square, as well as the fact that more landscaping is needed in the other corners. On that thought, do you guys landscape first and work your main coaster into it, or put down the coaster design first then work the land around it?

>>2480670
if i have an idea from the beginning, i'll do general landscaping first, then the coaster. i almost always end up having to delete sections of the coaster, adjust the land, then rebuild the coaster as i decide that a section should go underground or something.

the game makes it hard to landscape once the coaster is done.

>>2480597

>Wild west themed.
>Not using log cabin style for your enterences/exits.

Other than that I fucking love it and you pulled it off very well. I love how you hid the hat stall and the coffee shop (though the coffee shop roof still looks kinda out of place.

>>2479515
A bit spaghetti, but it looks like you had fun and you packed a ton of coasters into a park that is not very coaster friendly. Good job!

>>2480710
I personally don't much like the log cabin style, solely because of the fuck-ugly round sign on top of the entrance. Granted, it can be deal with by clever use of scenery but overall I prefer the straight up "wooden" style.

>>2479515
that green and black coaster is great

>>2480583
>>2480584

Thank you! Anyways, I finished my part of the collab already. Decided to go with a park/lake/forest theme thing to go with the deep woods park. Who do I send the file to?

>>2480670
Coaster into terrain for me. I'm can make okay coasters with okay stats but only after a few testruns to improve parts where G-forces or speed spike too high.

It's bit of an annoyance to have to remake parts of the coaster if I want them hugging a hill or something, but it's a pain either way around.

>>2481287
All personal preference, IMO I prefer square signs and buildings because they're easier to work into other scenery.

>>2480302
That looks fucking comfy.

Why does RCT make corkscrews jack up the intensity rating so much? They're really not that bad IRL as far as inversions go.

>>2482378
>>2482493
Because you're taking them too fast.

>>2482378
Some anon in another thread said the g forces in game were pretty close to real life, so maybe its related to their size, they seem pretty tight.

>>2482980
>>2482378
Yeah, RCT corkscrews are the smallest variety, while real life corkscrews vary in size.

>>2482656
Not even, I made an inverted coaster that had corkscrews at under 2Gs and I still couldn't get I < E

>>2484150
2 lateral Gs*

>>2481481
I like that little twist on the first drop.

Getting back into this after a long, long time, and I tried to just do something simple to start, so I went to plop a Mango Muncher down and couldn't build either an Entrance or Exit path. The fucking ride itself was in the way. What in the hell am I supposed to do to make rides accessible in these situations?

>>2484498

Short answer: don't use prebuilts, build your own shit.

Long answer: post a picture, I just looked at Mango Muncher and you can build a straight path directly out of both the entrance and exit so I can't see how you'd have a problem.

>>2484150
Inverted coasters are naturally more intense than most other coaster types.

Maybe a strange place to ask but since it's also an Chris Sawyer game I'll try.
In openTTD, how can I use the downlodable content? I never played TTD and downloaded a Tutorial from thi built-in CDS, but it doesn't show up anywhere. I'm pretty much stuffed wihout a tutorial.
or should I maybe pirate the original TTD and play the tutorial there?

>>2485324
Downloaded content shows up under your profile's documents folder in an OpenTTD folder. You might have to navigate there manually.

>>2481481
Is the collab done? Paste together a big screenshot of the whole park, upload the save file on mega or some other site and put the link in the document. Then move the park to the bottom of the finished parks tab.

>>2485510
got it.

So what's the deal with Ok to Suck Colab?

Also, how to stop building SideFrictions as park staple?

>>2487340

>>2487340
Ah, my bad, I have that and I forgot to pass it along

>>2487353
Diagonal chainlift is so stylish

>>2488076
Also SO FUCKING LONG

>>2488162
It looks longer, but is the same length as a straight lift. or is it?

>>2488174
It's sqrt(2) times as long.

Go away Pythagoras, no one wants you here.

>>2488201
The slope is 19.5 degrees instead of 26.6 degrees for nondiagonal.

I wouldn't say they are awful at all, it's just not what people were expecing, most of the scenarios are beautiful and well crafted, even if they arn't always fun to play.

The extra variety is a godsend in a game where all parks share at least half their assets (shops, rides)

I think people were expecting whole new rides and shit.

Somebody should make a side friction coaster that pulls 4g in long corners and call it 'f1 driver tester'

Then build a kart track called F1 driver test and redirect all the losers into a pit of fire.

I personally felt the variations were great - "theming" along with the scenery to be more desert/snow/forest.

But most of the added scenery had a radically different and more detailed style. I never liked the clashing graphics between Rollercoaster and its scenery expansions.

To be fair, they did sort of advertise them as having new rides... but most of the new rides were just themed variations of existing rides.

I saw this shit before. I'd love to strangle the guy for talking such bullshit.

>>2489983
Why would anyone make up some bullshit story about a topic like that?
