first for our lord and savior

How do I start a server to play multiplayer with friends? I couldn't find anything on the forums or the subreddit.

Third for cool ride elements

>>2625278
Hamachi.

>>2625308
Apart from that scenery I really like doing that with coasters. That down and up swoop on a hillside, looks great and fits so well.

>>2625339
Do I need to host any kind of server or use a specific port?

>>2625350
Get people on the same Hamachi server as you and just have people join using the provided IP address. That's how it worked for me and Fridolin a few days ago.

>>2625371
I may have to do that then. I'm trying to figure out a way to port forward like I do with Minecraft, but it doesn't seem to be working.

>>2624810
Nice. The guests don't even disappear when using it. Only problem is that they go up invisible stairs. I may or may not make a scenery piece that solves this.

>>2625620
I try playing it sometimes, but I don't quite get what I'm doing most of the time

>>2625597
how

>>2625708
As you can tell from >>2624810
It's an available entrance style in Open RCT 2

>>2624810
>>2625597
Is this openRCT2? Is it good?

>>2625737
it's a little crashy for me but it's got some really really nice features

>>2625737
Works for me. At the moment the performance on my current win7 PC is as good as vanilla RCT2 on the old XP I used to play on.

gj

>>2624810
>>2625597
how?

>>2625790
reading comprehension

>>2625597
mazes look fantastic now

>>2625791
I can't do it in my OpenRCT, are you using the dev build?

>>2625812
>not just making your mazes 1-2 squares large

>>2625821
The version used is develop 0.0.3 1157

>>2625812
Can you remove the park fence and replace it with a maze?

>>2625829
Can you use stable and devel at the same time?

>>2625836
I guess you could setup 2 folders. one with stable and one with delelop. Taven't tried it though.

So like, how do I update OpenRCT2

>>2625839
Download latest version as .zip
Unzip it
run the .exe

What's the best way to order inventions?

>>2625958
>E and I between both are 7.65, 7.66, 7.67, and 7.68

>>2625786
Just search vr/ct

>>2626020
no

>>2625615
It's because last time people lost their shit because someone started a new thread with plenty of time for the old one to die.

>>2626035
Or do what I do
Look on page 1 of /vr/.

So did we pick a new contest yet?
Still pushing for 20x20 Togo stand up + gentle ride mini park

>>2626154
>20x20 Togo stand up + gentle ride mini park
If you guys go ahead and do that, I think I'll finally be inspired to make the new scenario I've been thinking of for ages.

Is it possible to use your own music on the rides?

>>2626206
You too? I've been stuck at invention sorting for a partk for ages now. I just can't figure out how I want to order the rides outside of maybe the base set

>>2626214
Check the CUSTOM.TXT in your Data folder.

>>2626234
So, it only allows for 2 custom tracks?
Well, thanks anyway.

>>2626046
________________no________________

I need to git gud at getting park rating

$2k a month on food and merch sales, is that hard, easy, or what?

>>2626258
You can do more if you sacrifice some default music. Some of the .dat files in the Data folder are actually .wav files
>>2626379
Since umbrella sales count towards it it should be pretty easy unless it's a dry climate.

>>2626419
Hot and dry, but guests have high initial thirst

>>2626423
Then I'd say its about twice as hard as bumbly bazaar. Should be ok unless its a tiny map.

>>2626430
65x64 IIRC, I can still work on it, because I'm sitting here Still hating the invention menu

>>2626435
Save your landscape before you finish it. That way you can playtest it and make changes if needed.

>>2626441
Dude I'm terrible. easily the worst at RCT2

>>2626448
And playtesting this scenario si the cure.

>>2626468
I gotta get my shit together, but this invention menu is the shit.

>>2625308
Looks comfy, I like it.
How did you get the water under ground, or is that a footpath?

>>2626307
Dfl. ?

>>2625597
>>2625812
Wow, I've stayed on the same OpenRCT build since early summer but it looks like it's time to update again.

>tfw no woody corkscrew

>>2626612
Forgot pic.

I began rct2 yesterday. I don't understand how to change rides pries, it was setted on "free" and it's impossibl to change.
How i change the price?

teaser

>>2626640
fucking hell, lrn2english
also the scenario you're playing is probably pay per entry, so you can only charge for park entry and not for rides

>>2626612
>>2626613
There's are some wooden-related things that aren't included in any of the three RCTs, like the woodie corkscrew and going around a turn at 90 degrees or so.

Infact, aren't wooden roller coasters the 'retro nostalgic pixelful vidya games' of roller coasters?

>>2626646
what easy scenario can i get with pay per rides?

>>2626659
Mostly because that shit was not invented back when the games were developed.

Anyone got the scenarios for the 3x3 and 4x4 collab? Their download links died.

How do I deal with rides breaking just 6 min after the last inspection?

>>2626814

>>2627087
there's a multiplayer mod?

>>2626645
Are you the guy who built the toaster roller coaster? Please tell me you're building an entirely breakfast themed park.

>>2627098
it's in OpenRCT

>>2627107
there's a good build for playing online?

Messing with the lift hill speeds is proving to be a bad idea

>>2627240
Interesting
I want to make jetboat: the ride
RIP these stats ;_;

whoops, missed the stats
anyway, all ratings were <2

Figured out how to merge tracks in OpenRCT. Way easier than with 8cars. I've been messing with this all night, seeing what can run on what.

>>2627449
I could never get those spiral hills. I still hate how the OpenRCT2 intro video has those weird cars on woodies

>>2627449
>>2627452
Could be worse.

>>2627461

>>2627449
Can I get a short tutorial? Is it just disable clearance checks and have fun?

>>2627449
>Tfw frankenstiening the power of gigas doesn't even make TOGOs good

emm, first time attempting to dinky park after watching your creations. Anons, can you rate it?

>>2627449
>>2627461
>>2627525
Can you explain how to do this? I'm curious about it.

>>2627525
I think the computation is based on the trains, not the track.

Has science gone too far?

>>2627706
requesting LIM Railroad

>>2627525
Does the cable lift work? You can at least raise the average speed that way.

>>2627715
no

Finally someone noticed, that my scenery is decent (by deleting latest award)
I am done シ

>>2627959
You're doing things with Dinky Park that I would have never thought of doing

>>2627963
Well, you can show me some of your parks.
I love to look at this thread and see this fantastic parks ^^

>>2627995
My park designs aren't too great, but I'm not too bad at management

>>2628013
What the.. HOW.
OH SENPAI, YOU'RE THE BEST MANAGER EVER MADE <333333

>>2628013
>RCT1

After 2 I can't go back, you can't even place things at alternate heights or build underground without messing with land. How the hell would you place flat rides underground in 1 anyways?

>>2628039
I hate not being able to alternate height in RCT1, but my goal is to complete every scenario in the game. I have 3 left in Corkscrew Follies currently.

You can make rides fully underground by starting to build a ride, deleting the original pieces, and then adjusting the land however you want to.

>>2628039
Not the guy who posted it, but there's something really charming about RCT1.

>>2628047
Bit convoluted, but doable. Still no way to place flat rides that way, i don't think.

>>2628048
RCT1 scenarios remade for RCT2 is the way to go for me. I mean yeah, the unlocking scenarios was nice, but 2 just had those quality of life changes that really helped.

OMG LETS DO IT
Let it snooow! Let it snooow!

>>2628058

>>2628058

erm I think I'm out of here

>>2626613
What's the point of the wooden walkway next to the track? I've never been able to figure that out

>>2628107
Catwalk for inspection.

>>2628107
inspection, they check that shit out erryday

I got to walk through the Hades tunnel once, before it was Hades 360. shit was so cash.

Meh that looks like shiet, i really thinked that i will be good idea :<

did somebody mention track merging...?

it's time

>>2628174

>>2628179

>>2628182

>>2628174
How does non water trains behave in water?

Did someone say hacked coasters

>>2628250
I'm not sure whether to be appalled or amazed

>>2628228
the log flume track does not slow down the dingy, in fact I don't think it has any friction

>>2628272
That's to bad. Could probably be fixed without messing up the log flume.

>>2628184
what an abomination.

>>2628184
Reverser sections are the shit, i still can't believe rct allows this.

>>2628395
Wait what?

I do think it's for the better that ANUSLAND got finished with someone else, what with my impossible objective and unplanned three weeks of not being able to play.

I'll take it easier next time, build something lame like pic related

I heard something about dinky park

>>2628397
Checkout which way the train is going through the loop its going backwards

>>2628013
I swear I've seen that yellow coaster on another site.

>>2628641
It's part of the scenario.

>>2626307
Holy fucking shit this park is a shit show.

Keep paths simple and straightforward for both your customers and your staff, man.

>>2628179
ACTION PAAAARK

>>2628653
Stupid me.

I still have an issue with openRCT2. I can't exit the scenario editor, and I can't load my WIP scenarios. It always tries to save and overwrite, so I don't know what to do, there a way to rollback?

>>2628278
>>2628272
What about water coaster splash track?

couldn't resist making my own dink park.

abandoned quarry converted into a micro park

>>2629259
>that floating coaster

atleast put some scenery there or something too make it look like it's supported by something...

>>2626542
Pre Euro Dutch money

>>2629329
What are you talking about? It's got like what, seven supports? That should do it

>Tfw want to download OpenRCT
>Tfw too lazy to

>>2629383
https://openrct2.com/download/latest

here you go

>>2629329
>>2629347
ok I adjusted it to be more realistic, what do you think?

>>2629426
Keep it the way it was, just use scenery to make it look like it has support. If that doesn't work, then just keep it floating.

>>2629386
How do i install it?

>>2629442
If you have the GOG version, install it to C:\GOG Games\RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 Triple Thrill Pack

messing around with terrain tools and such and ended up with this. enough to start to build around?

>>2629487
Go for it, you can always edit stuff too make it more fitting too your rides.

In OpenRCT a Corkscrew Coaster used to have those smooth steep-flat pieces, now it doesn't.

That's shit.

>>2629554
Probably just a bug (do you have that RCT1 track/train type sharing option enabled?).

How about you actually report it instead of bitching and moaning?

>>2629557
It changed when I downloaded the newest Dev a while back. The original RCT2 doesn't have this, so I think it was removed on choice of the Devs.

>>2629559

>>2629426
update
added more supports and put in a river raft around the outside.

Does time lapse anon still browse these threads?

How do you turn on night time mode in Open RCT2?

>>2629487
I like how this turned out visually, sucks that the stats aren't the best

Too subtle, or not subtle enough?

>>2629589
Holy shit that looks amazing.

>>2629329
>>2629347
it was fate

>>2629660
r.i.p in peace

>>2629626
thanks m8

>>2629589
unfortunately I'm sort of at a loss for what to do with the rest of the empty space besides fill it with trees

fews questions concerning ORCT2 multiplayer:
-there's a server open that i can try the multiplayer?
-can i make a dedicated server on linux?
-it's laggy?
-it's really buggy as fuck?

>>2629774
Probably not.
WINE.
Probably.
Yes.

>>2629778
so i'll certainly wait fews months or years
thank you for your help

really packing it in now, added a rail system and a lazy boat ride around the outside as well as a go kart track that ques underground beside the train

>>2629831
I'm really liking how this is turning out

>>2627842
This is beautiful, anon. I hope it inspires others to make food related coasters.

>>2627881
I did not know if it was the same guy. It would have been weird if he didn't get the reference.

Then again, it would have been weirder if two different anons had the same obscure idea.

>>2629831
you put the entrance and exit of the river rapids ride in the opposite places they should be, you inefficient serf

>>2629487
>>2629589
>>2629735

Interestingly, I've been doing my current collab spot with a similar theme, but I did it with the complete opposite approach and built the coaster first, and then terraformed around it. Still need to finish the other half and put more trees down, but I'm happy with the results so far.

Also why does this collab scenario not have mine theming, those wooden walls are useful almost anywhere...

>>2629831 WTF is wrong with you? Good Dinkypark needs to have several atractions, but needs to have decent scenery, this, THIS IS HOLY FUCKING SHIT GET IN EVERY BLOCK, BLEEH. C"MON, WHERE'S REALISM IN HERE? ;________;

what

>>2629960
I can't wait til people can make new tracks and new vehicles in OpenRCT.

>>2629968
I can't wait till the OpenRCT team finishes decompiling the source code so it stops running like ass.

>>2629974
I can't wait until the team stops making bugs themselves that are more detrimental to the game than any bugs Sawyer made

>>2629974
>>2629975
I haven't used OpenRCT yet, is it that bad?

>>2629976
It's fine unless you plan on running a park for longer than half an hour. Then things start to get kinda slow.

>>2628395
they make heartline coasters a whole lot more fun

>>2629978
>>2629974
>>2629976
I'm using the 0.03 dev builds and it runs just as good as the original game, even on my pre built potato

>>2629980
Try loading up the No Borders park, then we'll talk.

>>2629920
sorry for having fun I guess...

Its not about fun, its about getting it beatiful park, so i can fap to it ^^

Sloped 45degree turns, I need them.

>>2629570
Better, looks great.

>>2630190
The problem is that you look like a huge retard. The fact that you can't quote posts isnt helping.

>>2630260
I was just thinking about how great that would be for the run between the station and lift hill.

What's OpenRCT2s MOM, zero clearance, and track merging support? I really want the invisible entrance/exit but I've gotta have MOM.

>Immediately lay off 30 handymen
>Park Rating begins the slow creep from 450 to 999

>>2630387

>>2629982
For me it runs the No Borders park as good on my current 4 years old PC as RCT2 does on the ~10 years old one I used to play on. So there is still lots of room for improvement but in my opinion it has reached a playable level. Still not a fan of working on features before having it fully decompiled though.

>>2630338
use vanilla for MOM but otherwise use ORCT tbh. The "cheats" built into the game (which include non-relative zero clearance, which you can use to merge tracks without fail) haven't failed me yet, while 8cars seems to crash RCT every second time I use it.

>>2630502
Is the stuff from OpenRCT2 interchangable with vanilla? Could I save with no entrance enabled and it will work after loading in vanilla?

Finally finished a park after a period of no ideas.

>>2630587

>>2630592

what do first aid booths even do?

>>2630867
guests go in them, and dont throw up everywhere. lace them so guests run into them after a nauseating ride

>>2630867
>>2630869

Benches are a far better solution to nausea. Guests seem to rarely if ever seek out first-aid rooms even if right by the ride exit, but will sit down on a bench if they see one. I find it way more effective to just litter the ride exit path with benches.

>>2630874
well, i do both.

Place them and pathing like so. Sick guests walk right into the door.

has anyone made an underground park?

like, you walk in and it's a tunnel and everything is underground?

>>2630886
Well we got this scenario not to long ago.

>>2630961
dorf fortress

>>2630587
>>2630589
>>2630590
What map is that?

>>2630874
Thankfully OpenRCT2 is going to fix it, so that guests actually go to places if they have certain needs (eg. First Aid room if they're feeling sick)

I dreamt of riding a roller coaster which was like this, hanging from above and soaring through some nice bends and inversions.


Do you like it, /vr/?

Just trying out the new options in Openrct2 making custom stations.

>RCT2's face when I try to make a good TOGO

>>2631413
I think the key to making a good one is to make it as intentionally shitty as possible.
That way it ends up going against what you want and it becomes good.
Test it out and see if it works.

>>2630961
Placing all of those scenery void tiles must have sucked.

>>2630996
I made it myself.

>>2630886
Whatever that Mr. Bones orchard one is.

how do i into mountains?
the most i could do creativity wise is raise a bunch of 2x2 or 3x3 sections to a bunch of varying heights or slap on a few mountains here and there with the mountain tool
stuff like >>2629916 just look like a pain in the ass to pull off

>>2631621
Upload it bro, it looks fucking interesting and a bit comfy as well.
Where's the entrance of the park anyway?

>>2631686
It's easier too do in OpenRCT, if you press the minus enough you can raise the land as mountains.

>>2631689
http://www.mediafire.com/download/dfezsj7n4n7di36/Emerald+Cliffs.SC6

Here you go, it's more of a sandbox then a challenging scenario, you'll also have to delete the two trees I missed.

>>2631686
I just block it all in with like a 5x5, then a 2x2, then push and pull edges its a shit

>>2631686
Raise peaks with the mountain tool, then raise the Vs between them while adding noise. Raising flat chunks is a bad idea unless you plan to do a jagged broken style.

>>2631156
It's good, the station looks ok, and most importantly, you made the heartline rolls in the correct direction.

>>2631717
Thanks m8, this looks excellent.

>>2630961
Is there a link to this somewhere?

>>2631745
Found it for you
http://www.mediafire.com/download/dp5f02geszbmw3b/Craven+Cavern+5.zip

not having any sort of wooden walls and roofs is really starting to bother me

>>2631773
nice

>>2631156
looking at it, it's giving me the impression that it finishes the chain-to-first-brakes block section much faster than the first-brakes-to-second-brakes block section and as a result gets stuck at the first brakes for a considerable length of time

>>2631686

Not gonna lie: stuff like this the way I do it is kind of just a pain in the ass. But it's not that bad. Shaping the terrain around the coaster here for example was basically three steps:

>Choose parts of the track to go underground, delete them, dig up single squares to fit them inside, and rebuild the track
>Dig land up underneath the track you want to run flush to the ground
>Connect the gaps between all the land you dug up

So no mountain tool as >>2631697 or >2631730 suggest, but the result is a much tighter fit, and a coaster that is much more built into the terrain than just build on top of it.

>>2631823

If it's the same collab park as me, you've got the 2H wooden wall, 4H wall with windows and flat wooden roofs in the generic walls and roofs section. But yeah, it's annoying me too.

to join or not to join a collab...
Any free spots?

>>2631895
I don't think anyone's taken the last spot in the second canyon collab

>>2631895
look in the pastebin for the google doc and take your pick

Working on the space-themed end of my park. Got two coasters in, but now I need to get the scenery work done.

>>2631931
The second coaster. Not 100% happy with the layout yet, but need to get some scenery work out of the way so I know what I have to work with.

Finally found out how to merge tracks in OpenRCT2, and this is what I ended up with. The parts with the black supports are supposed to be indoors.

>>2631895
I'm planning to make a collab map for a more 'unique' collab, but I have yet to actually make that map.

>>2631959
I'd like to get into merging tracks myself.

>>2631931
And this is what the building looks like so far. May add more windows to break it up a bit, and it will gain walkways to other buildings too, plus other little details.

just about finished, I'm rather pleased with how it turned out

>>2632000
checked

is there a list of scenario's in the /vr/v/vg/ pack? I've never really used it because its so hard to sort out the shit memey scenarios out from the decent ones because literally all of them are in the other scenarios tab and take up so much space

I know it's haram but there is no general on /vg/ so I'll ask here.

Is 3 a good starting place? Never played the series. I like that it's in 3D.

>>2632145
It's one of the most horribly optimized games you will ever play, has a smaller size limit than RCT2, every default scenery piece, every shop (unless you have the Wild! expansion) looks cartoony and all the peeps look like shit too.

However, the gameplay is still fun. The scenario's it comes with are good and it has different goals that you need to finish than rct1+2. in RCT3 iirc there are no time limits on anything, and each scenarios has three goals to complete, each harder than the last.

Personally however I'd recommend RCT2, it actually loads in under 10 minutes (yes, some rct3 parks take that long), looks lovely, is easy as hell to add custom content, there's much more available etc etc.

>>2632157

>It's one of the most horribly optimized games you will ever play

Damn, is it really that bad? I'm on a shitty laptop.
I'll give it a try and if it's unplayable I'll get 2.

>>2632174
Depending how old your laptop is, it might run decently. The problem with it is that it has trouble running on anything with more than either 1 or 2 CPU cores. Can't remember which.

collab update. Gotta add detail to siege engine but I really like it so far yes, the exit is a drop right down to ground level

>>2632209
>yes, the exit is a drop right down to ground level
and if, god forbid, you need to fix your ride?

>>2628405
Hey im just glad it got done at all. That shit took forever, mang. BtwI haven't been hanging around too much, but I've been working on something I think you guys will like.

>>2632209
Whats with the giga tracks coming through the ground

>>2632291
they're inverted impulse track, actually

and they're to represent supports like these ones, since the corkscrew travel over the path, like in pic related

>>2632297
Oh I see what you mean

>>2632213
mechanics can go through park entrances if the exit is blocked I just use the cheats in openrct to fix and renew all rides every time one breaks down whenever I am playing a sandbox

>>2632320
>mechanics can go through park entrances if the exit is blocked
Bullshit

>>2632320
>mechanics can go through park entrances
Not in RCT1/2. In RCT3, they use the entrance, but not the exit.

>>2632396
>>2632404
https://www.reddit.com/r/rct/comments/35vctb/rct2_til_mechanics_can_use_ride_entrances/

first result in google

>>2632439
that's if you have multiple stations and there's a restraint breakdown in the loading station

it has nothing to do with the exit being blocked or inaccessible

Can someone please confirm weather this glitch works on the Steam, GOG and OpenRCT2 versions of the game?

>>2632463
it works in GOG and OpenRCT, I gave it a try in both last time it came up in /vr/ct

Track merging opens up so many possibilities.
I should make Expedition Everest.

First time i've tried this park

already done

>>2632058
to be honest it's not too bad as is. i think you just need to fill the blank space around it. even if you justchanged the grass to rock it would probably make it look spacier aand tie the theme in better

>>2632494
End of year 1. No idea what more I can even do.

>>2632596

>>2632469
So nobody owns the Steam version then? I guess that's a good thing.

>>2632640
...I do, if there is anything bad about it...

>>2632640
I think most people here already owned it before it was on Steam

>>2632557
End of year 2. Now I REALLY can't do much at all.

>>2632650
Can you test the glitch for me please? I plan on making a video about it and would like to confirm the different versions.

>>2632650
I don't think it makes a difference.

>>2632663
just tried it in vanilla steam version, it worked but while I was spreading the ghost scenery around crazy castle it have me some fucked up error and crashed

>>2632679
I noticed that too and an explanation will be in the video. Sometimes the game does crash when selecting the saved track design but I don't know why.

>>2632662
Never again.

Hello, everyone, it's time for round 3! This time we will be making out-and-back woodies longer than 2500 feet. There are no space restrictions on this one so get creative!

Also just a general reminder since I've seen people post about this before. If you're hesitant about entering due to less-than-perfect ride designing skills, please know that this isn't meant to be taken seriously and the goal is to get people building cool things and having fun. The last thing I want is someone to not share their creations for fear of being judged harshly, so start building and show us what you can do!

Sorry that I've been so inconsistent with posting lately, I've been working tons and have been busy with getting ready to move to university in September. I'll try and get my shit together this round.

Tried making valraven rct is missing so many cool coaster pieces

>>2632948
it begins

>>2632948
>longer than 2500 feet
762 m for us who don't compute feet, quite short to be honest.

Also, here's a link to explain what an out-and-back woodie is for those not balls deep in roller coaster knowledge :)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out_and_back_roller_coaster

kind of sad that it's an out and back contest, because I whipped this out quick as a warm-up and I really like how it turned out

would probably be able to get some decent stats out of it after scenery and landscaping

>>2633019
Funny enough so did I just now. I got an idea from this one though.

>>2633009
i just used the woodie from bumbly beach as a reference tbh

>>2633025
Dear god that is sexy

>>2632948
So correct me if I'm wrong but this means:
>One station
>One lift hill
>No synchronizing

And two entries per person again?

>>2632463
Works on steam.

>>2633058
Thanks mate.

>>2632948
Here's my entry.

Where have they moved zero clearance in OpenRCT? And how do I merge track? Can I save merged rides?

>>2633079
TOO LOOOOONG

>>2633162
Not him, but howso?

>>2633163
His is 3074ft, context maximum is 2500ft

>>2633167
2500 ft is the minimum

>>2633167

uh

it's >2500ft not <2500ft

the whole point is to make a long out-and-back

>>2633168
Oh, I'm an idiot. I thought it said maximum was 2500.

>>2633168
>>2633170
>Not knowing meme arrows

So like, I have a few questerinos about things

1. Food courts?
2. Separate exit stations?
3. Preferred station size?(Every time I see a youtube clip, they have max stations with max cars and it always looks silly)
4. Your best TOGO standup and/or Side Friction?

I was researching Togos and I stumbled across a pretty legit playthrough of RCT1 on youtube. The dude is legit autistic when it comes to coaster construction but his end products are actually always really impressive.

If anyone is interested in watching, the youtubers name is Silvarret

>>2633181
1) No
2) No
3) Long enough for 1 set of trains, so like 6-7
4) This one >>2631728

>>2633181
1. Food things go anywhere there's open space, usually between paths or other scenery. I recommend getting some modded stalls which are just guys at desks so you can build them however.
2. I prefer it on block sectioned coasters with 5+ trains as long as there's enough space and I'm also being limited with how many open areas I can put the E&E.
3. 5 normally, 6 on Giga
4. Best by profit, TOGO: a 6 train, 3 minute, 8/7.6/6 masterpiece with the TOGO in 5 corners, 19-23k per hour. I still had a disgusting park and didn't want to wait until Year 20 to afford making the water-coaster and reverser not shit. Lots of slow inversions.

Best Side Friction was Barf Mountain
I've got to address my spaghetti problem
just made this in poor effort to stick to the Out'n'back contest.

>>2633181
1. Are lovely.
2. Nah.
3. Slightly longer than one train. I almost exclusively run block sections or single trains.
4. Image. Best like in I like the looks, the stats are horrible.

>>2632948
first time building a rollercoaster with actual scenery, even if it's only a hill with some trees.
Might as well enter it now that it's done.
Went a bit overboard on the length because I used metric and had no idea how much that's in feet.

Why are the OpenRCT2 guys a bunch of furfaggots

Postin' Woodie

Contest entry.

Somehow I don't think I did this right. But I did spend over 4 hours on this so there's no way I'm not sharing it.

>>2633451
Because of the land sloping I was absolutely convinced this screenshot was somehow magically shot at a different angle. Axonometric or something.

Any idea why I cant open the workbench scenario?

>>2632948
I can't into scenery but here's my entry.

Looking at all these contest woodies, I'm even more confused what the fuck an out-and-back layout is.

>>2633486
If I understood it correctly it's simply only one lift and only one station.

>>2633487
I'm understanding it like the coaster on Bumbly Beach, which looks like >>2633476 and >>2633079

Things like >>2633451 are messing me up because it looks completely different.

I'm confused. the description on the wiki made it sound like a King da ka style ride, whereas all the entries don't really resemble that

>>2633486
>>2633487
>>2633489
the roller coaster track alternates between two poles

>>2633451
this coaster looks very interesting, but as far as i have understood out and back roller coasters, this isn't one.

>>2633303
>>2633401
>>2633451
>>2633476

None of these are out-and-backs.

This is the problem with having something outside of RCT as the contest rule - people are going to not know what an out-and-back is. For the record, it's a layout which goes away from the station without twisting around itself, has a turnaround section, and then comes back to the station again without twisting around itself. Even >>2633079 isn't a 'true' out-and-back because it has a bowl halfway along the return.

Ultimately, it's not well-defined what counts as an out-and-back and what doesn't. Plus, while a strict out-and-back might be fun to ride, it's really just bunny hills and a turnaround which doesn't make for an interesting design to build.

I don't think 'out-and-back' is a very good contest category. I think something better might be a wooden roller coaster with a minimum dimension, e.g. the footprint of the coaster should be at least 40 squares in one direction, or something like that. It'd be a shame to choose a category that excludes any of the current entries though.

this is an out and back

>>2633516
>it's a layout which goes away from the station without twisting around itself, has a turnaround section, and then comes back to the station again without twisting around itself.
Thanks for clearing that up. However that does sound rather limiting and honestly boring to build.

When people do this contest, should it be forced to use regular woodie cars, or can people use Articulated to inflate the numbers, or should articulated be forced?

>>2633516
Yeah, that's a good contest for someone like me who is just starting, but it sounds pretty boring for pretty much anyone else.

Who got the idea that out and back's can't intertwine?

>>2632926
>>2632934
Cedar Point's Arrow coasters have aged, but they are still enjoyable. Except the front seat of the Magnum. Don't do it.

>>2633634
Problem is, people were posting entries that aren't even remotely similar to an out-and-back. This is somewhat an out-and-back until the end where I got completely carried away.

Do these games have a sandbox mode or are they objectives only?

I don't mean infinite money and stuff, more like can I stay in one map and just add shit to that? Similar to a city builder.

>>2633781
sort of. every scenario does have an objective, but you can keep playing it indefinitely after you've finished the objective.
the only thing limiting you is map size. also there are plenty of scenarios that don't have time based objectives so you can take all the time you need playing it.

>>2633794

Nice, thanks.

Do Top Fuel Dragster-esque Hypertwisters get good stats in OpenRCT?
Playing off disc here.

I've been messing with a few that launch from 90 to 145, and even with 3+ negative Gs and 4 seconds of airtime they keep sitting at 4-5/3-4/2.

Then for shits, I made a babyshaker version of a 120mph lifthill booster and it gets 9/7/4 and everyone loves it

>>2631717
Thanks, going too have fun with this.

>>2632068
Looks comfy as fuck.

Where the hell do Open RCT screenshots save to?

I'm sorry if there was any confusion as to what an out-and-back was defined as. As far as the contest goes, this >>2633476 and this >>2633079 are pretty much exactly what I was going for. I'm not going to force people to stick to the "no twisting" definition because as people said that's terribly boring, but the idea was just to have a long coaster that comes back along relatively that same path it went out on. Also, double out-and-backs are also acceptable, meaning that the coaster does another turnaround and goes out again before returning to the station. Think Twisted Colossus or El Toro.

>>2633848
...\Documents\OpenRCT\screenshot
"..." is usually C:\Users\You, but it depends on what drive you're using and how you have your folders set up.

I've finished my collab spot, there's a free space on the doc after me if anyone's looking for one.

So, does this qualify as an out-and-back? (WIP)

>>2633873
Neat.

Do most people play the original game or have you all moved onto ORCT?

>>2633913
I'm sticking with vanilla RCT2 as long as OpenRCT still has bugs and performance issues.

Question for the contest. Can I make Dueling coasters?

>>2633913
ORCT2.

I never knew how much I needed that uncapped framerate.

>>2633976
It's even better with hardware display enabled.

I made this reproduction of an IRL out and back woodie, can I enter it for the contest or is it original coasters only?

>>2634026
>me

I hope this can be considered Out and back

>>2633873
I'll take a whack at it if no one else will.

>>2632948
When is our deadline?

Since there appears to be some confusion about what an out-and-back coaster is, I think I'll post a few examples and try to explain it a bit

Our first example is blueballed's eternal favorite, Blue Streak, at Cedar Point

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_sRf5A7DLk

>>2634106
an out-and-back coaster does pretty much what the name implies. It goes out to one point, turns around, and comes back. Due to the low amount of turns in the coaster, the primary thrill of these rides comes from an abundance of airtime.

Judge Roy Scream, Six Flags Over Texas
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRsL7NM3nMc

>>2634118
Due to the ease of mirroring an out-and-back layout, they were a natural fit for racing coasters back in the day.

The Racer, King's Island

>>2634124
not all out and back coasters are woodies, and they're very popular layouts for steel hypercoasters. Most Morgan and B&M hypercoasters follow an out and back or out and back derivative.

Steel Force, Dorney Park.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=badTCSB6w7A

I forgot the Racer POV, my apologies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxjDTaBU4Ss

Might do some scenery later but i'm sick of looking at it for now.

>>2634053
Dat little roof over the photo booth is comfy af

>>2633765
This is hectic i'm keen to see the ratings on it the queue could do with some work

>>2634106
>>2634118
>>2634124
>>2634129
What about a coaster like The Voyage then? The layout is obviously out-and-back but it perform way more twists and turns than >>2633079 for example. Should >>2633908 or >>2634032 count? I think so but it's hard to say.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OuphtSPR08

>>2634132
MAXIMUM HACKING

>>2634129
>>2634137
Some out and back coasters, like The Voyage, perform a more twisted turnaround or a less direct "out" or "back" leg, in order to add variety and interest to the layout. Another such coaster is Apollo's Chariot at Busch Garden's Williamsburg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKT8wIgZ7xo

That about does it for this short Out and Back lesson, if you have any questions or comments, or have anything to add that I missed, feel free to ask or speak up :3

>>2634150
oh, gonna tack on a render of The Voyage's layout here, so you can more clearly see the out and back nature of it.

The green segments show you where airtime is experienced, demonstrating the airtime appeal of out and back coasters.

>>2634137
I'm not running the contest so I can't say authoritatively whether or not they should count, but to me they kinda look like they fold into each other a bit too much to really be called out and back coaster.

>>2634132
>i'm keen to see the ratings on it
The ratings are shit.
4 Excitement, 10 intensity.

>>2634157
I've ridden the Voyage, all I feel is pain. In fact, a lot of Holiday World's woodies are starting to show their age.

>>2634261
>I've ridden the Voyage, all I feel is pain.
sad to hear it's not aging well, I rode it when it was new, up there with El Toro as one of the smoothest and most fun woodies I had ever been on

>>2633908
>>2634032

these are great, no problems here. the only sort of debatable one is >>2634132 but i'll include it anyway.

Last time it was like 2 or 3 threads before the poll went up, so you've got a little while.

Does it still count if the coaster is partly steel? Wanted to go for one of these modern woodies to be a bit different.
