The formula is a little forgiving and can be exploited somewhat like that. 13g turn is fine if its only a momentary spike.

How are planet coaster woodies coming? All I see is wooden supports pinned to steel coasters.

coaster pls

>>3448948
I took you five hours to add another incline to the coaster? You going to post another image until it no longer crashes?

>>3448948
that coaster is so fucking ugly
what is that medium incline doing in the lift hill???
it's so fucking ugly i cant even come up with a good analogy

how have you not mastered the idea of building the loop end at least as high as the chain lift end? is that not fucking common sense? are you new to existing?

what is happening here

>>3449071
nvm, i see it, steep water coaster peice, ignore me
and forgot to mention >>3448948
what a fuck-up i am

Is there some table that shows the min length/ride time for different types of rides below which they receive penalties?

Anyone have a scenario that was hosted on lunatim.com? It was an oasis park, multiple ones, not a singular one. I remember having a fun time with it.

I too have a problem with letting my gigas 'run out', so to speak. I have much to learn. I lost the cap of my own giga.

I wanted a 100m drop.

>>3449287
It's rather slow, it's fine.

>>3449337
Well. Then you have to build a longer coaster or a way longer break run. Look at Kingda Ka for example, the break run is like 1/5 of the ride. Even if your current break run works in game, it look silly as fuck.

>>3449403
I could take out the last hill I guess.

it wasn't crashing due to speed, the train would stop perfectly at the end but cars would go flying off the train

>Feature: Allow up to 255 cars per train.
I don't know what I could do with that but I'm already hyped af.

>>3452018
The possibilities

>>3452018
I'd do something like this first.
Wonder how shitty it'd end up being in OpenRCT2. Probably more fit to be a thrill ride, not a coaster.

so how do i update openrct2?

>>3452018
More importantly, they fixed the peep logic. Now it should not be worse than the original anymore.

>>3452045
>thrill ride
That's basically just a type of carousels.

Ah come on, it spins fast and there's the annoying music.

>>3452018
It is already in the available builds since quite some time.
It also allows to make 1-car-short trains. Or boat-trains.

Haven't managed to make anything noteworthy with it yet, tho.

>>3453137
>Frontier
>Indie

You fuckken what m80

>>3453146
They are indie. They develop and publish their own games. AA/AAA quality does not disqualify one from being indie, you nonce. Regardless of that, the point is that high profile DRM solutions are usually reserved for maximum jew publishers.

>>3453149
The fact is they aren't indie.

They make millions from Elite and RollerCoaster Tycoon.

>>3452975

>>3453198
>(You)

If you've been on /vr/ct long enough you'd know most Rollercoaster sims are welcome here as a refugee point.

Try to keep the threads mostly RCT1/2 so the mods don't delete our threads though. Otherwise we'll have to move to /v/ or /vg/ and that will make our threads very inconvenient

>>3453153
Indie is independent. Whether they make millions or not has no bearing on if they publish their own stuff.

>>3453153

What is RCT2? I mean, I like PC just as much as the next guy but RCT2 is timeless.

>>3453623
Next guy here. Planet Coaster is shit.

So how do I update OpenRCT2?

>>3453762
I'm guessing you'll always have to install the most recent version manually.

You're not helping desu. And since I've nothing game related to post, let's discuss theme parks! What park do you want to visit? I really wanna go to Efteling and/or Alton Towers. They seem to have some awesome rides but the queue times are kinda discouraging.

>>3455697
I'd like to go to Phantasialand to try Taron and what not.
But I'm not going alone there...

>>3455802

Fuck, even watching the POV was intense. I guess I'll add Phantasialand to my list.

>>3447947
You dumbcunt OPs keep pasting this post without checking for dead links.

Remove this next time you premature ejaculator. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/57672247/RCTConvert.zip

>>3455835
The OPs are not what they used to be :(

>>3455835
OP here. Put up a new thread because I didn't know about the archive function. My bad, I'll delete the link if I need to make a new thread.

Apart from that, I found a copy of RCT 2 on my external HDD. I'll see if I can upload it somewhere in case someone doesn't want to spend the ten bucks on Steam.

>>3455835
It would be wise to suggest a replacement though.

You can easily convert RCT1/2's sound files to wav files by simply changing the extension from .dat to .wav. Then you can compress the files with any codec you want.

>>3455676
Could be worse, could be full of RCTW and Atari shilling

After playing this game on and off for a decade I finally started trying to get better at pathing and finally made a park that averages 900 peeps and is self sustaining.

>>3453802

I like this launcher, but I miss the old one that setup backups to Dropbox automatically.

Has anyone ever made pools or lazy river water rides in RCT2? Do you think it'll be possible in OpenRCT2 when they open it up some more?

>>3456414
The long ride length would probably destroy your park rating

>>3456679

What if it was handled similar to train stations where they can get off whenever?

>>3456685
River rapids with stations sounds like a feasible idea

>>3456685
Speaking of Transport rides, can there at least be an option to make it where guests will use transport rides even when they're "Leaving the park" or heading towards something else? Because I hate shit like that one elevator in the six flags park where lots of guests are permanently stuck up there

>>3457183
You could just shut down the elevator like it is in the real park. (Six flags, please)

>>3456350
Bumbly Beach General?

>>3456350
>>3457313
>not using the actual beach
This one is from 2004. Unfortunately I lost my other save, which had a bobsled coaster over the beach area and some other shit I no longer remember.

>>3456049
>I'll see if I can upload it somewhere in case someone doesn't want to spend the ten bucks on Steam
No need to. It's already in the OP if you look carefully.

>>3456414
yes, use the bumper boats and underwater/submarine track. the guests won't roam the river freely as they'll follow a set path, but it otherwise can look perfect

Is it even possible to get a high excitement ratng on a golf course? Also please r8

Haven't played rct in a very long time and saw that there was no active collab in a long time, so let's change that. Already finished my part, just waiting for some others to join in.

>>3459445
I would love to collab but OCT2's server keeps desyncing on me. Nice coaster though

>>3459757
I'm assuming you don't know how we do the collab parks here on /vr/ct.

What's the wait time on that thing? You should probably cut the line to two or three blocks.

>>3459445

what's up with the giggle downs horse quad? There's only three leaving every time.

Collab is coming along nicely. Anyone wanna join? We need more people!

>Guests avoid the circled path
>Area around is crowded af
What did Chris mean by this?

>>3460572
I'm not feeling any inspiration for a theme other than "standard theme park" which is already kinda there in the left plot, except my coaster's station would be ten times as shitty.

>>3460589
IIRC double width paths break if your guests have maps.

>>3460607
In OpenRCT2. In regular RCT2 the same thing happens but only if guests have maps and souvenirs I think.

I believe there was a fix that landed in recent versions of OpenRCT2 that addresses this though so try a more recent build

>>3460572
You are full

Have there been Collabs bigger than 2x2?

Actually that park is peepable once you fix the horribly inefficient transports.

Most of the coasters are shit though, too intense.

>>3460656
I won't start until tomorrow though, I hope that isn't too long for you speed-loving youngsters

In the hypothetical case that I can move my lazy ass and create a Map/Scenario for some kind of XL/XXL collab...

How should they be? 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, bigger?
How much space should there be for every square?

What rides/scenery options should there be?

One entrance? Two? Four?

Any kind of landmarks? Like water canals in between the squares? Or a transport ride that circumnavigates the Park with Stations at Cardinal points?

>>3460826
3x3 squares of 30x30.
Two entrances.
All flat.

"Jack Of All Suits", featuring a red-white/black-white colour scheme, what kind of coaster should that be?

>>3460642
Check out the finished parks tab. The canyon collabs were 6 people, the no borders collab is insane (the video should really be in the OP) and there's a couple of hex collabs.

Is the lighting fx thing still being actively worked on?

>>3461029
Woodie is always an option considering /vr/ct had an enormous boner for it last thread.

>>3461404
I heard from the last thread that it wasnt but ya never know

>>3461404
https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/pull/3798

No activity since June, it probably wont merged until after 0.0.5 anyway though. The devs are trying to finish re-implementing the entire game and after that they plan to refactor it and then release 0.0.5 as the first build that is completely independent of the original code. After that they'll probably be more open to new features and things like the expanded lighting will probably be easier to implement since the code will be more stable.

>>3461421

Is using a different save format also slated for 0.0.5? Also, what's the best way to stay up to date with their progress?

>>3460489
I noticed this when I was making it. It seems to be a bug with OpenRCT, because when I load the scenario in vanilla, it runs all 4 just fine. It looks like this applies to any coaster with more than 3 adjacent stations.

0-1: Leafy Lake
2-3: Diamond Heights
4-5: Evergreen Gardens
6-7: Bumbly Beach
8-9: Trinity Islands

>>3461441
Oh, that's boring.

>>3461427
I'm not sure when they plan on the new save format. I'm not sure if they've said anything. For sure it will happen after the entire game is re-implemented though so at least 0.0.5 but possibly later.

The devs occasionally post updates and take questions on /r/openrct2 and their own forum but it's not very frequent. Their github page has their issue tracker, pull requests, and the commit log which lists all the recent changes so that's the best way to keep up with what is going on.

Is Opengl buggy for anyone else in recent dev builds? I'm trying to do double scaling at 1080p and it keeps forcing bi-linear filtering.

>>3461452
OpenGL renderer has many problems

https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/issues/3880


Sounds like this is what you're talking about:
>Scaling doesn't seem to be affected by scaling quality options.

>>3461029
virginia reel

>>3461473

Ah okay. Luckily I'm using a resolution that scales properly in integers so I can use software without filtering.

How in the hell do I get very high excitement in a woodie?! Trying my best with increasing air time but all it seems to give me is slightly more nausea.

>>3461513
Focus less on wild twists and turns. Woodies benefit more from straight drops with lots of airtime.

>>3461513
>that first, highest drop into a turn, steep turn, and narrow bank

jfc

>>3461441
Fun! My turn!

>>3461449
JSON or XML are being considered for save format (with a custom extension) iirc

>>3461404
for the most part, it is finished, the problem is rendering it in-game. Lighting shows up through scenery, sometimes lights won't work causes object clipping etc. Those fancy videos only show the good stuff. The devs are working on an openGL renderer (you can see the state of it by turning it on in the options), when that is done they can implement the lighting fork into the main branch

>>3461513
that first hill is way too twisty anon, I wouldn't recommend that on any coaster type. other than that, try to make sure the coaster isn't going through those unbanked turns at more than 40 km/h. If the train is going fast, having a second gentle incline at the bottom of a hill before going to flat track really helps too, the smoother roll in/out makes the drops less intense (and realistic), which can inversely affect your excitement rating

>>3461441
I was thinking about going through it all, since I cant seem to just let loose and build but have to go moderate autism every time. Havent played ANY scenarios since I originally played the game over a decade ago.

>>3461441
I've never gotten past lightning peaks, because as much as I love the original RCT's scenarios, I hate that there's no fast forward button.
I'm also too much of a purist to try doing them outside of RCT1.

>>3462734

This. Speed settings are great for quickly figure out if changes I've made will work financially. Also, college has started up so it allows me to get a scenario in a few hours max.

>>3462604

Base 3 isn't that great, but the water and zoo expansions turned it into an interesting zoo tycoon hybrid that I can appreciate.

Do we have a discord? I want to talk about RCT without shitting up the planetcoaster ones.

I think a good discord would be a tycoon themed one with individual channels for transportation/city/theme park channels. Let's be honest we all play a huge chunk of those games.

>>3462520
>inferior recreations

>>3462856
I think even if it covered all tycoon games, a thread would not survive on /vg/. /cbg/ died not long ago, ffs. /vg/ has too many maximum cancer generals now that will push other threads off in 60-90 minutes because the board doesnt have enough pages.

>>3462856
These threads came from /vg/, as /vg/ grew these threads started getting knocked off the board too fast so they moved to /vr/ because no one debates that RCT1/2 are retro.

Guys, I have a quick question:
After not playing OpenRCT2 for a while I redownloaded the latest build. A few months ago I recalled there was an option where you could let your guests pay for entrance to the park AND pay for rides, like in RCT1. But I can't seem to find that option anywhere anymore.
Anyone know where I can find it?

>>3465089
do you have the cheat window turned on? it's in options under the main menu, and then in game you can alter it there

>>3465096
Thanks! I finally found it, I didn't have cheats turned on.

Anyone up for a Crackle collab?

>>3465413

>>3465413

>>3465740

>>3462705

Woah woah woah WHY DIDN'T I BROWSE THIS BOARD BEFORE

>tfw used to play Rollercoaster Tycoon religiously in elementary/middle school
>tfw redownloaded it for my school laptop for my first two years in university

Damn, there's still a whole community based around it? Nice.

Which version works best for OpenRCT2? Are collabs real-time playthroughs with other players or just exchanging save files or something?

Damn son I'm hype.

>>3465968
>Are collabs real-time playthroughs with other players or just exchanging save files or something?
OpenRCT2 has multiplayer, but it tends to be spotty as fuck so it's typically done through save file exchange. Check the OP for downloads and info.

>>3466006

Oh ok, thanks anon I read the OP more thoroughly now, I was just too excited.

Decided to try to start up a discord. Since we're a bit niche, I made it a tycoon general with individual channels for different types.

https://discord.gg/husA4

>>3465968
I'm running the latest stable but it's starting to feel old. Will probably switch to develop soon. As long as you keep backups of anything you want to keep in the case of some freak bug develop should work just fine most of the time.

>>3466148

Develop is actually incredibly stable. I've been using it for at least a year and it's never been a problem. Plus if you use automatic updates with OpenRCT2 Launcher it'll never be a problem for long.

>>3465968
Don't forget to upload your creations!

>>3465874
>>3465897
Great! I'll arrange everything in the collabo document tomorrow, it's really late here.

>>3467292
Nevermind, finally found it.

>>3466183
I used to run develop but ran into some weird bug fucking with my completed scenarios. Bleeding edge software is seldom unstable in the sense that there's new crashes with every update, but you always run the risk of something unforseen happening. Especially if you use a launcher instead of manually installing updates and keep up to date with what have been changed. I might sound autistic, it's just a game and I could backup my stuff, but it's good practice when running develop branches and I keep up to date with the project.

>>3466513
>>3467081

>>3467502

>>3466405
>>3467014
Waiting on Goliath at Magic Mountain, I saw some guy in the first seat of the train ahead of me continuing to browse on his phone while going up the lift hill.

Why.

>>3467524
I tried it and regular track can not merge with elevator pieces. The cars get to the elevator and then bounce around at the end of the track.

>>3467745
I still can't fathom how someone could have conceived overriding the ride systems without accounting for all trains by sight. The fact that shit keeps falling off of the ride with the queue directly underneath it is absolutely hilarious. That's something that should be an extraordinary occurrence, not every fucking year. Why the hell is that ride such a shitshow?

Why does it have such shit stats?

>>3468498
First off, youre trying to build like a regular coaster what should be small and compact. That's basically a mouse, and they have inherently shit stats. You shouldnt expect excitement to come within less than half a point of intensity, and that's AFTER blasting it with scenery.

>>3468498

Those things have ass lateral Gs, too many fast/unbraked turns leads to very high intensity ratings on em

>>3468548
I made sure that none of these turns are taken at more than 32 km/h (except the penultimate one at 37). Adding brakes dropped excitement by 0.07 but intensity by 0.17.

I think 1.5 lateral Gs was the threshold after which more just hurts your rating, for any kind of ride.

>>3459445
>those ground/wood supports

>>3468065
fug, I thought it was just a server thing, my bad

>>3467835
As rollercoaster rides go, The Smiler is fucking LONG. You're always in an inversion of some sort, it fucks with your head.

>>3468429
Probably severely undercharging

>>3468498
Is there a real life example of this coaster type that is fun?

>>3468498
>literally only right turns

>>3468351
>Only breaking 800 of the 600 requirement

NOT GONNA MAKE IT. DO YOU EVEN JEW?

>>3468498
Seems ok, i think that coaster has a penalty if lateral g's are too low, so put in a sharp corner and see what happens, also left turns

Still missing two for the crackle collab...

>>3469480
Which spots are open?

On today's episode of "Would you Ride This Coaster?".

I haven't played in a few years...

>>3469514
Show stats
Also is it only 1 train?

How's the 2x2 coming along, yo?

>>3469514
Use some scenery and I'd give it a try. Some brakes before the station would be good to avoid station brake failure. You don't need to do this since you're just using one train but I'm too much of a sperg to not do it.

>>3469514
>those queue TVs

>>3469514
Disregard, decided I didn't like unbanked turns because apparently that is a meme.

>>3469524

>>3469614
back in fall 2015 I ran a few contest rounds with decided themes (out-and-back woodies, 15x15 coasters, etc) and strawpolls with image links to determine winners.

>>3469623
Sounds cool. If we get enough people together, you can count me in.

>>3469625
alright, sweet! It was a blast to do and I feel like it stimulated a lot of activity in the thread, I'll definitely start one soon.

>>3469571
What about custom scenery objects? I have an idea that would involve broken-down buildings.

>>3469957
I have no idea, this is my first time joining and Eden is hopefully still working and not kill.
Just go for it.

Absolutely, I've been waiting for the contests to start again.

>>3469531
>caring about aesthetics when you have an objective to work towards

Fuck your comfy meme.

>>3470316
Looking ridiculous is one thing, you also don't really need them for such a ride. Waiting times should be around 4 minutes. And the coaster could easily be retooled for two or three trains in block brake mode for an even faster turnover.

There hasn't been enough RCT in my life lately so I made a thing.

>>3470316
I thought I was the only one who didn't care too much for comfy.

>>3470417

I immediately hear the Ragtime station music looking at this, but you already have a carousel there.

Got lazy towards the end with scenery. Theme was supposed to be some kind of paradise, but ended up as castles.

this thread needs a bump

I can't start on the crackle collab. It says I'm missing a file named GWGRPBM/07000000943459F2 and I bet it's not the only missing file. How do I make this file/these files not missing?

>>3473503
I'm not sure what that file is you're missing, if export custom content is ticked it should've exported with the map. You can try downloading and opening the original file from the collab document; or you can look up the missing file on NED; or i think openrct has an ignore missing files option but i'm not sure what would happen to the file for later contributors.

>>3473534
Ah yes, it's working now. I should've been able to think of downloading the template. How do I turn on export custom content?

And... Why is everything closed? Why are there no guests? ???

>>3473591
In the options menu there should be something like "export custom content with save" tick it
I'm not sure, i guess the other dudes haven't opened the park, open it if you want but you might need to connect some paths around.

Is there a type of ride that can launch the train backward and into a lift hill, from where it'll drop, pass the station and go for the ride?

>>3473664
Reverse incline launch shuttle mode.

Doesn't launch it up the hill but it uses the momentum from coming down. To be honest it's completely useless

>>3473664
What is it goes up the lift hill first, then goes backwards?

>>3473671
No, the station'd launch the train, backward, into a lift hill like >>3473668 says.

>>3473671
Nice.
Interesting idea.

To Dank Vader,

What the fuck is that red coaster made of? Why does OpenRCT2 crash every time I click on that ride? Why doesn't it happen with other rides? What the FUCK did you do?

>>3473838
Why did neither of you get the idea to test the rides, open the rides, price the rides and open the park in 6 gameyears' time?

reminder this game is easy to abuse

>>3473838

Posting from my phone, hence the missing name.
It's a regular twister coaster but with a train of the length of the entire station. I don't know why your game could crash, it worked fine for me, sorry for the inconvenience. Have you tried disabling train length and ride limits in the cheat menu?
I didn't want to open the park first because I didn't take the segment close to the exit.

what

how do I update openrct

how do i scenery

>>3474176
You can enable cheats in the settings. After that, you should get a shovel button at the top left corner of the in-game menu. There, you can also do stuff like printing money, resetting the date, disable breakdowns, ... Basically everything that makes the game more fun lol
I don't know about the updating thing, though.

>Literally begging for station brake failure

Moved our finished collab to the "Finished Parks" section of the collab document to clean it up a little. Hope that's okay.

Yea, thats fine. I was going to do it tomorrow anyways.

>>3473882
Make This Prints the dangly-leg coaster and make the station a good chunk longer. That prints really good shekels.

I just downloaded RC1 and expansions on steam, so hype to play after over a decade. Used to be my favorite game.

>>3477805

That's the one nice thing about OpenRCT2, the fast forward feature means I can finish a scenario in 30-60 minutes. Pay off my loans towards the end and then go nuts.

>>3477970
OpenRCT2 makes me micromanage my shit even more than I would in the base game. I also tend to build all my stuff with the game paused, since those park rating drops while building a coaster over the course of an in-game month (i.e. 7 minutes) always annoyed me the most.

Thing made.

How do I create a convincing ruins look?
also r8 h8 my coaster

>>3478514
I actually might demolish it and try again. I'm not too happy with the result.

>>3478514
use pic related as a reference, mix and match walls and fences from a few different scenery tabs, as plain brick/stone walls look too clean for convincing ruins.

As for the coaster, it's meh/10 imo. Take advantage of the fuckhuge cliffface, the ride currently focuses on the plateau too much and wiggles into spaghetti. If you're comfortable doing it, merging onto twister track so you could get a large loop and/or immelman in the valley would really take advantage of what makes dive machines unique.

>>3478245
No break-run/10

How do you pick the naming schemes for your park/rides?

I'm tired of using "ironic" memes and mispelled swear words.

>>3479250
I always try to pick a name related to either the ride itself, the way it was built or the scenery I used.

Does OpenRCT2 make RCT2 game-breakingly easy? I never actually beat RCT2 and I don't want to feel like I'm cheating my way through the whole game.

>>3479536
As long as you stay out of the cheats and debug console the game is basically the same. Just some new options and tools and multiplayer support.

>>3479250
I mainly use alliterations and out-of-context references. For the last park, I've taken stuff ranging from a Star Wars spaceshis to an OutKast song for ride names.

>>3479536
>>3479556
I agree -- the only difference in difficulty are things that should have been fixed anyway, like peep pathing.

Any good Let's Players that go through RCT2? I'm looking for some inspiration.

I'd put this in a full coaster but I keep doing weird shit.

>>3479795
Damn. Lemme try that. Give me an hour.

>>3479795
I would prefer less spaghetti, but it's kind of appropriate given that I'm imagining it as a kraken coiled around an elaborate ship as a station, the predrop wrapping around a crows nest, etc. I lack the autism/knowledge to make any such theming, though.

>>3479795
I know I should spread out more if I want to imitate real coasters, but the game limitations force you to spread out a little too much for my liking.

>>3480579
>coaster touching ground
Other than that, that is an amazing coaster desu.

What do you guys end up doing more in RCT, coaster creation or park creation?

>>3480643
Coasters. Scenery is rather tedious at the level I aspire to.

>>3479795
Back. Tackled it.

>>3480834
closeup of gokarts

guests want toilets. The only areas short on toilets are Dank Vader's and Eden's areas, can I build a few?

>>3480834
Is good. Except the chain at the very end, it's meh. Lower the station in some way.

>>3480834
I like it way more, but imo remove the part between the large half loop and lift hill, move the station around and change the lift so it drops directly into the large half loop, the first two inversions you have look spaghetti

>>3480840
Yeah, go ahead. Are you sure mine is missing one, though? Quite sure I build one somewhere.

>>3479795
>tfw didn't manage to do anything that felt right with the black coaster

>>3480579
This one makes really great use of the element.

>>3480643
Forgot to add, personally I end up just fucking around in Coaster Creation and then crashing the game.

>>3480651
Scenery is pretty much a pain in the ass when its at a isometric view.

>>3480643
I like launching the game, wanting to play, then I want to start a park with a coaster, it sucks, so I quit without saving, go cry a bit, restart the game a few days later and restart again. After several tries I can get a functional coast that doesn't blow too much, and I make a park with a lot of scenery around it. Then, elated with the success of the first coaster, I build more. Until I try to build a last one that blows dicks, so I quit without saving again and go cry, wait a few days, etc.

>>3481021
there's only one, same with the other area. Guests want more.

>>3481021
there's only one, same with the other area. Guests want more.

>>3480934
You mean from the station to the drop?

>>3480925
I can't lower the station :( I could maybe hide the lift underground.

Does anybody build a lot with Wacky Worlds and Time Twister scenery? Most of it just comes off as extremely ugly, especially all the animatronics garbage. But some of the wall tiles could be useful for variety.

>>3481163
Tip: Don't start off with coasters, peeps usually go crazy over go karts then charge them a shit load of money.
Tip: Don't build a bunch of coasters all at once.

>>3481472
I play with money disabled, it's just too annoying.
I do build thrill and gentle rides, but those are ezpz. And the scenery takes time too.

>>3481479
>money disabled

How

>>3481482
>Build a bit of coaster track.
>Change your mind and sell back the parts.
>Lost 1000£.
And then you have to adjust prices all the time and stuff.
Just annoying.

>>3481492
I don't mind you sandboxing or anything but its supposed to do that, it is simulation of theme park management.

>>3481472
I'd say you can start with coasters just don't start with big ones. Start small and get a stable source of income then move up gradually to larger coasters.

Smaller coaster types like the junior are good for starting out because the track is cheap. You can't do anything too impressive with them though.

>>3481365
>I can't lower the station
Of course you can, just lower the ground first.

is it literally best just to save a schematic of your coasters and just replace them every few months/years or whatever when their price goes down, just literally make the same exact coaster in the same spot and have your income back again?

>>3481823
You can do that but you may have to rebuild the scenery and stuff that goes along with it

>>3479795
>Current year
>No footpath with white supports
REEEEEEEEEEEE

Anyone like this coaster I made, its a three way wooden coaster based on the colors of the AV cable. I did have to use cheated lift speed for the coaster to work though.

https://www.reddit.com/r/rct/comments/51mwbg/what_happens_when_you_host_a_micro_park_server/

>leaking
newfags, when will they learn?

couldn't be fucked theming it properly but here's my take on it. I had to edit the cobra roll for the layout to work though but I prefer it anyway since irl cobra rolls never have track so close like that.

>>3482108
That needs cheated lift speed? How about just making your drops and hills steeper, I highly doubt a little more speed would kill them.

what are you currently working on /vr/ct?

I'm building some sort of city block with a coaster running though it, I'm trying to fill in the center area with some flat rides and cozy scenery.

>>3482307
>Interlocking corkscrews meme
looks good though

>>3482108
If you make banked turns of outside track a unit higher, everything will be flush and look great. Still hard to make an attractive multitrack woodie, but that is one neat thing.

>>3481992
That box under the station is hideous.

>>3482307
The supports for the top hat and roll match up perfectly. I envision the close track as having joined spines, which I think is some tight shit. The only real example of such a thing I'm familiar with is Full Throttle.

>>3482630
Haha, ikr. I just focused on the ride itself and had no idea what to do with the station. Seriously, how do you all build these impressive stations?

>>3482806
Architectural intuition helps. Its an art of broken surfaces. Building the station so high makes it unduly difficult.

Since we're on the subject of Twister Coasters anyway, let's talk about launched lift hills. I hardly ever see them being used here, even though I think it's a great way, to make the usual chain lift hill to the first drop less boring. The only thing that bothers me is the fact that every block gets its own support pole which makes long sections look horrible.
So, who /launched/ here? Any good examples of coasters utilizing this block?

>>3482954
Twisters are all I build mate.

>>3482360
I really really really like this coaster.

>>3447947
Encountered an access violation errror, when opening a scenario form the Scenario pack. Are any other anon who also experienced this?

>>3483092
what scenario dumb butt

>>3482954
>launched lift hill
Most overused meme piece of all time. There's like one B&M with a launched hill IRL but in game people build them all the time. Also people use the piece in stupid ways, either to make 3000m of spaghetti or to save a design that does not work as one intended like >>3480424.

>>3482956
Damn, that coaster is awesome! The start got me inspired. Still got to figure out how to get 9+ excitement, though.

>>3483331
Idk, I really like those blocks to replace the usual chain lift and I wonder why I've never seen that many tracks with a launched lift hill.

>>3483672

that's fuckin sweet, anon

>>3483331
I don't think its fair to be too harsh on little launch kicks. In a real coaster the size of the elements can be adjusted to match existing momentum. If the element can't be lowered and increasing the speed of everything before it pushes g-forces too far, there isnt much alternative other than scrapping the element entirely. If you insist on that, youre just childish.

>>3482954
They're pretty rad
Not quite the launched lift hill you were talking about though

>>3482954
>>3484082
Actually this one is better

>>3482317
No longer needs a cheated lift speed, thanks.
>>3482630
It looks a lot better with the unit higher banked turns, thanks.

>>3484082
Love the scenery, my dude

The stats are shit because two passes and lots of hills, but I like the layout.

I'm not very good with scenery. Instead of ruins, I tried to create a sort of old, ruined, rusted... building sort of feel. Might be (have been) a lab of some sorts. Any tips on how I can improve this?

>>3484969
My suggestion is adding some support structures, especially the slanted ones, maybe delete a few blocks or walls to create gaps in the structure.
Also, what >>3478603 said.

>>3484986
nigga it's full of holes. Do I need more holes? And where would I add support structures? to support what? The coaster?

>>3484969
I don't think you'll be able to pull a good abandoned modern building look on this map.
It just look like an uninteresting big block there.

>>3484969
Unrelated to your coaster, but you still got a spot free? Which one?

And why the fuck does the Crackle map have a custom pizza store that also sells park maps?

>>3485187

>>3485187
