Seriously, how do I beat Thunder Rock? I swear I didn't have this much trouble before. I've plastered the place in rides and coasters, am running ad campaigns, . My park rating is permanently plastered to 999, yet I'm barely past 1,600 guests and it's just not increasing. I even just built a brand new coaster (7.70 excitement) and ran an ad campaign for it, and it's barely increased the number of guests I have.

>>384065

I guess part of the problem might be that my guests seem to all have run out of money, so they're not exactly having a lot of fun....

>>384065
I may be completely wrong here but I heard park guests are based on the number of things you have in your park too, there's a limit somehow. So maybe you actually have too many rides in your park.

>>384094

That limit is 10,000 though, I doubt I'm anywhere near that. It's going up, just way too slowly.

>>384065
IIRC running ad campaigns for the rides increases the likelihood of guests getting on that ride, but doesn't increase visitors to your park as a whole.

>>384065
I always see a big boost in guest count when I run the "Free Entry To The Park" Advertisement.

Also check your Guests' thoughts and address any issues they have (path congestion, hunger, thirst)

>>384132

Been running park campaigns permanently too though.

He's my park, I'm quite proud of it, I'd go there.

>>384183

(can't believe I had to resort to a gif.

>>384183
Not enough jewcarts.

>>384183
What is the goal for Thunder Rock in RCT2?

>>384183

Backside of it.

>>384181

There's some, 62/1800 want to go home and 57/1800 think it's too crowded. But it's really hard to make a clean path layout in this park.

>>384196

Forgot pic.

I just got RCT2 from gog. I can't stand the scenarios with the scenery. I just want to build shit, not look at a medieval castle. Also, not being able to charge for rides=I miss RCT1.

>>384183
Build more gentle/thrill rides on top of the rock.
also go- karts.

>>384198

2,700 by Year 4.

I haven't looked at the other version of the scenario.


>>384194

I tried to do it legit. I may just play it again and plaster shuttle loops, scam karts and mini mazes, though.

>>384093

Gigacoasters are a pretty failsafe way to get high excitement.

(they're usually my favourite irl too.)

>>384094
There's actually a limit to the amount of litter you can have. I made a scenario that was supposed to be line Ivory Towers with disgusting paths on start, and after a certain point, people would puke but it wouldn't show up.

>>384213
It's 900 guests by the end of Year 4 in RCT1. Who made these scenarios?

>>384220

No idea. I guess they're supposed to be of similar difficulty (900 would be piss easy) but I've found almost all of them considerably harder than the originals.

>>384228
Well, you also get a lot more rides, but still, that's three times the original. Even in my best RCT1 Thunder Rocks file I've only got maybe 2000 guests tops.

>>384240
The thing with getting more rides is you also get a bunch more shitty rides, and the best rides are from the original anyway.

>>384326
The positives outweigh the negatives, you can't even get steel twisters in the original parks. It's really a big change.

So I've been trying to do the Mountain Ranges scenario (10 different roller coaster types with 7+ excitement and 10.5k track length or more.) and jesus christ, it's fucking hard. I spent all morning working on a woodie, and somehow at the end still got an extreme rating even though all of my g-forces are within normal ranges.

Anyone had any luck with this scenario?

>>384372

I don't understand how hard it could have been to use these
http://rct.wikia.com/wiki/Thunder_Rock
to give players the exact same rides as in the original. Hardly seems like it would have added much more work.

Pictures are fixed by the way.

>>385206
You should play open TTD, it's fun and free.

>>385218
I should try it once...
If I can find the time between playing Sim City 4, Kerbal Space Program, and other games.
That town is just part of my Mad-Max styled custom scenario.

>>384998

Creating scam mazes is a legendary achievement. Never again will I have to waste my time waiting for money on maps that don't have go-karts.

>>385206
>dem railroad crossings
>that station
Railroad crossings were one thing I wish RCT featured.

>>385245
I know, but I just wish people cared more about the awesome go-kart tracks. Also, if I wanted to upload them, where would be a good place to do so? They are from RCT1.

>>387367
Set price to whatever gives the most Jewprofits. I saw 50 cents in the thread.

>>387367
>implying they'd pay $6 for more than 30 seconds of real time
Just set it to a dollar.

I miss the charging for entry + rides mechanic of RCT1.
Playing Mega Park, if you get enough attractions people would start carrying the maximum of $95 and were willing to pay that much for entry, not having a single cent for rides/food. If only we had ATMs on that version...

Hey fellas

I made a scenario for you all to try.
Crestline Peaks is an old ski resort that you inherited recently on the condition that anything you build there to make more money is old school. Nothing like hypercoasters, hydraulic drop towers, race cars, or motion simulators. If you're creative though with the low tech rides you do get you can make quite a bit of money, as wooden roller coasters are of course fair game.
If you think this should go up on /vr/'s list, please add it! I'd love to see my stuff on there. I'll make more if people like this one.
Heres the link
http://www.fast-files.com/getfile.aspx?file=61527

Are we still coming up with ideas of rides for different boards? If so, /t/ should totally be a pirate ship.

>>387948
Forgot the stats.

>>387520
Somehow I can't download it.
Tried with Fifrefox and Internet Explorer.

Show your creations!

Here's mine:
Mobius roller coaster.

>>388016

Are they synched?

>>387520

The site you uploaded to is not working.

>>388034
Heh, I see you got the same idea.

I was actually planing on having 4 carts, but somehow wen I put 4, the last one bugs and they won't move.

So I can only put 3 and the even saddest part is that they can't be synched.

The only option I have is make them go on after the other.

>>387259
>>387206
Does anyone have any tips on avoiding this? It seriously happens every single fucking time I make a coaster. Nothing worse than spending a long time making a coaster just to have no one ride it.

>>388071
Show us some screencaps of the coasters, it really differs for every one.

>>388071
Someone in the old thread mentioned getting used to Virginia Reels, since the limited piece selection forces you to master the basics without "building something retarded, then trying to correct it with something even more retarded."

>>388071
Used bank turns for turns after a hill. Or any turn that has the trains moving fast really.

>>388071
on the apex of a hill or an inversion, do not go faster than 30 mph
BANK YOUR TURNS
Going 300 mph doesn't make it fun. Having a lot of hills, going under supports, and an occasional inversion makes it fun.

I found out how to make good rides after just modeling my coasters after real-life coasters, and banking my turns.

Someone needs to make a pic how-to for coaster building.

>>388179
I'll whip something up with common pitfalls.

>>388318
Not bad.

Finally beat Diamond Heights, and by that I mean year 3 finally ended.

>>388318
this is great, thanks

>>388318
I find even slow turns should be banked if possible, on the "many small problems add up to a large problem" line of thinking.

>>388318
any sudden change of direction at high speed, basically. negative G's add intensity too. i haven't been able to figure out exactly what adds excitement. speed, airtime, # of inversions?

Dumping some screencaps from a previous general.

>>388367
I never bothered. Anything under 20 mph with a bank is just a waste of two extra track pieces in my eyes.

My hideously chrome'd Diamond Heights.

>>388418
IT'S DA FUTURE

>>388418
I laugh every time I see that.

I really wish I could find my RCT2 disk so I can do exploits
Fuck gog sometimes

Aw yiss. I did it guize.

>>388318

It is like some of these people have never seen a real life roller coaster... Speaking of. Anyone else really like to recreate real life roller coasters in the game?

>>388318
What about slope+bank combinations? Is it better to spread those out to two spaces?

>>389093
Harder to explain. I'll start by explaining banked curves in general.

>>389167

It's hard to see the #1, consider using a different color.

Your wording is a bit weerd as well, but it became clear once I noticed where the 1 was.

>>389194
Yeah, I'm starting to get tired, it's hard to put this stuff into words.

>>389205
sleep if you need to. but please continue sometime. i know i speak for a lot of people that would love a beginners guide to making coasters, even though we played this game all the time as kids.

my parks always looked amazing, but there was hardly ever a custom coaster in sight.

>>389235
I can still give constructive criticism if you want.

>>388686
Good moneymaking rides all have:
Medium or higher Excitement (to avoid "I want to go on something more exciting than ____" messages)
Lower than Very High Intensity (to avoid "____ looks too intense for me" messages)
High turnover (short ride time or several high capacity vehicles)
And ideally a low build cost so it can amortize faster.

the traditional scam rides (Goy Karts, Shuttle Loop) all have these features.

Classic screenshot time.

>>389859
did he ever count to three

>>389906
The ride ended and one guy liked it so much he got back in line.

>>389917
after that ride, can HE count to three

>>389962
he only went on it twice

>>389859
>no specs
Criminal injustice.

>>389986

>>390004
Beautiful.

Had an idea to see what'd I'd get if I made a twister roller coaster that only comprised of banked curves and to see if I could "turn forever". This is the result.

>>390282

Not too bad, actually.

>>390301
you shoulda seen the other stuff I've made. would floor you with how great it all is.

It begins.

>>390392

>>390392
They're getting through them faster than I can build them.
And more are coming into the park.

>>390463

You really should've planned this out more. Also, did you make them all max capacity?

>>390486
The first ten or so, there was a bit of a queue piling up. We're up to the 50s now, though, so no turning back.

>>390548
you're in trouble when they run out of money

>>390548
you should add ATMs to the roads

>>390585
Max jew.

>>390548

Man, the corner must be fucking confusing. Here you are, you've beaten 30-odd mazes with the exit opposite the entrance, and suddenly BAM! Exit's on the right, bitch.

>>390942
Yep, this one works.

>>390548
How many mazes did you end up making?

>>390548
After spiraling all the way to the centre, it should have a path that leads underneath them all, with two options, a path back to the beginning or a path to Mr. Bones Wild Ride.

>>388594

>>388596
Step up, senpai!

>>391283
I hope someone actually saved the original images.

>>391283
Are there stats of the maze?

I'm thinking about making a RCT helpsite with some tutorials and advice like >>388318 did, not to mention guides on how to get the games working etc.
Do you think you guys would like that?

Obviously they'll be a jewing section too.

>>391693
Yes.

>>391783
What features/sections would you like to see most on it?
Obviously a guide to perfect coaster building, but what else?

>>391831
Coaster guide, jew guide, maybe a guide to paths and stuff. Maybe a description of each attraction and what it's good/bad for. Only if you feel like writing a shit ton. I'm sure some tips for the tougher scenarios wouldn't go amiss. That's just what I reckon people would like to see.

>>391693
Very much yes, I'm terrible at building coasters but I'm trying to learn with the few tips given so far.

Also mention any good scenarios to hone in on particular skills, for instance I'm about to try Whispering Cliffs to learn how to build in smaller areas because my parks tend to have no structure and become a clusterfuck.

>>383828
If the OP is around anywhere to listen

There should be a file containing any good /vr/ built rides like there is for scenarios. An anon built a great Grand National in the last thread that's since disappeared and I'd like to see, and I'm sure other anon's have posted some others that have disappeared from threads

>>391913
I downloaded that ride, so I might host it on the site I'm proposing here >>391693

>>391881
>>391889
Sounds good, I'll work on it tonight then.

How do I get the window mode hack working on XP? All I get is a transparent window

I'm at an intermediate level in designing coasters, here are a observations/tips:

Practice using a simple coaster, like a Virginia Reel.
Always check the built-in coasters to see what sort of rating you should expect/aim for if it's a type you haven't built before.
Gradually brake trains as they go into stations down to <30 mph. It'll reduce the uncomfortable rapid acceleration and prevent crashes due to station brake failures.
Does your ride have a loop? Thread the ride back through it for a significant excitement boost.
Apart from scenery, weaving between other rides, stalls, or paths is a good way to increase excitement. 3 underground portions allegedly gives the best excitement boost.
Fully-loaded trains have greater momentum, meaning they'll crest every hill and loop faster. Keep this in mind when testing, especially for powered-launch coasters.
In general, try to take loops, hills, and unbanked turns slowly. More hang time = more fun and less G's.
Increase throughput by increasing the number of seats (trains X cars) and maximizing the lift-hill speed. Longer stations and block-brake sections are two ways to increase the number of seats.
Satisfaction increases with the ride's excitement and decreases with long queue times and high prices (and possibly other factors). Higher satisfaction means happier guests, which in turn means more souvenir sales.
Consider increasing the minimum wait time so that trains are more spread out, instead of clustering. It's more of an aesthetic choice, but it does make queue times more consistent and means that more trains will be active if the ride breaks for some trivial reason.
From what I've heard, every lift hill after the first reduces excitement.
Synchronized stations increase excitement.
Learn what the different types of G's mean, and how they interact with ride sections. For example, banking a curve converts lateral G's into vertical G's.

Did I do gud?

>>392185
Looks pretty good, though your lateral G's get pretty high in some places. That rise after the first drop may be problematic, as are those S curves. At least, I think they're S curves, the isometric projection fucks with my head. You can typically eliminate S curves by adding straight, fully banked sections in between two banked curves.

Either way it's totally fine for scenario play, considering you could get 6+ with a modicum of scenery.

I played the first RCT as a kid and loved it..how does RCT2 compare? And what about RCT3? Cool thread by the way.

>>392343
RCT2 is more of the same as RCT1, you'll enjoy it a lot.

RCT3 is quite a lot different though.

>>392343
RCT2 is definitely worth picking up. It's basically a large expansion pack.

>>392418
>>392372
Does RCT2 have a sandbox mode like RCT3?

Does anyone have algorithms/hidden stats for this game?

>>391312
>>391337
Sorry, not OC.
This is all I have.

>>391693
Most of the information is in the OP.

>-RCT FAQs-
>-HELPFUL RESOURCES-

>>389059
Not really. They seem boring to me.
Plus, I have a terrible memory.

>>392539

Not officially, just in custom scenarios.

But then, the sandbox in RCT3 pisses me off anyway because it's way too small, I did most of my sandboxing in the scenario editor.

>>390314
Post pictures then!

>>390548
But don't they get lost like that?
Isn't it better to build it like pic related?

>>392657
Why not just watch a POV onboard camera of the coaster you wanna do, then with a few other bits of information (like the height of it, max speed it reaches etc) you could mostly recreate it from that.

OP here.

>>391693
I don't see why not. Make your website/pastebin/blog/ReadMe and I'll put it in the OP.

>>391913
I don't mind.
But we need more people to participate, to share their creations.

Right now there are only scenarios and Mr. Bones' save.

We could have, scenarios & saves & rides made by /vr/, each category in their own .rar.

>>392813
I'll put some resources up on the site I'm making that get made and put here with pictures, like Mr Bones and rollercoasters people create.

>>392178
By putting more block brakes you can get even more carts, even if you've maximized the number of entrance/exit stations?

>>392813
Would you also separate based on game? Since some of us are on the original and some on RCT2. Since for RCT I do have a Photo Loop saved, mainly quick building, and a couple go-kart tracks.

>>392813
If you're talking about the pics on the last thread, I have them on my computer and I can post them whenever I get home.

Sorry OP I meant to reply to the guy asking about Grand National.

>>390963
Thanks. I'd like to see if it's any fun to play. I actually really like the challenge of just restricting the ride types in one way or another. It makes for a more thematic experience and enhances replay value. Yeah I can beat every scenario with scam karts, but it got old real fast to me.

>>393075
By see I meant download and play, sorry for the confusion. It's worth posting pictures of if you have a link too though.

Website progress

I couldn't resist going for the RCT style...

>>388016
>>388034
>>388067

I managed to do another one.
Here's what it looks like so far. Still a prototype.
But they are now synched.

Initially I wanted them to start with a boost. But it's not possible to synch them, plus you only get 3 trains, not 4.

>>393645
It's nice!

>>393645
Very nice. Try adding an isometric grid.

>>393645
very cool, will bookmark

>>393673

It looks pretty neat. Got the stats?

Thank you JQuery

it'll be popular on rainy days

Taking a quick study break for a little ego stroking. Doing the Plateau scenario from the /v/ /vg/ /vr/ pack, with one coaster down.

>>394227
And this is the second half of it. I followed some of the advice given earlier when designing this and it turned out quite a bit better than I anticipated. Wish I could have avoided the second chain towards the end. Any suggestions to prevent that with the other 4 coasters?

>>394227
>>394249
Very nice scenery usage

Could someone make a MS paint help image like the ones with reducing intensity but have for increasing excitement? All of my stuff only gets to 6-7 excitement.

>>394350
Make a vertical loop.
Have the track go back through it before hitting the exit.

>>392871
Well, people mostly play on RCT2 and you can't even make scenarios for RCT1 (unless there's some kind of program I'm not aware of), so there's not going to be a lot of content for RCT1.

Still, I'll divide them in folders, but still keep one single RAR,
like so:
RCT1+RCT2 Scenarios in one RAR
RCT1+RCT2 Saves in another one
RCT1+RCT2 Rides in yet another one

Not for the moment. It's just a prototype.
I'll post stats when I have the final product.

>>394847
>>394896
Sounds like fun!

>>387520
I can't play your scenario. It says I'm missing some files: CRNVBFLY and some numbers.
Are there any fan-made rides in it? If not, I don't know what's wrong.

>>394931
Got it.

You know that facebook post, with the guy lying about playing RCT? Like, the whole competing against someone else to make a better park than them thing?

We do that. We have 8 players on one massive map, each with their own bit of land. They have to try and outdo one another to get guests, get money, and build the best fucking park ever.

We need challenges like get to a certain number of guests first or achieve a certain park value first.

>>394957
eh, i think the photo loops, scammazes, and goy-karts are more /vr/ discovering the most efficient means of "winning"

given no final goal, i think, based on what i have seen posted in these threads, creativity would prevail

there would certainly be exceptions

>>394986
>We do that.
Do you mean, "we do that" as in "let's do that"?

>>395019
Yes.

>>395008
If money is shared, we could have one guy with nigger scams while everyone else builds giant coasters.

could we stop with the jew shit, it's fucking obnoxious and why I've hidden every one of these threads

>>394847
We thought of this idea before in another thread. The best approach for that currently is to make a large scenario with preset zones for each person to make a rollercoaster with a few blocks of "commingle space" for coaster intertwining.

I can make a mockup of it in a bit to see how it'd work. Gimme some time, and we can make a pass-around save file for this.

if i ever win the lottery (which will require me to start playing,) i will get a small but very nice house, a zippy car, invest wisely so i dont have to work again, and then throw all that is left into making RCTMultiplayer a thing.

here's hoping

do loops next to each other effect the excitement much? or is threading the coaster back through the loop a better method?

>>395186
Having coasters in proximity to each other raises excitement just like scenery does.

>>395236
I intend to remove them and replace them with other rides.

Anyone have any ideas on how to improve my Single-Rail Coaster work. Can never get more than medium excitement.

>>395424
I guess the image would help.

>>395439
Those are pretty tough to get in the high excitement. Perhaps you can try scenery near the tracks?

Next is the downloads page! If you want something adding, post it now and I'll include it~

Getting started on a /vr/ scenario for a succession game. I am horrible at making scenarios though, so it's going to be rather sparsely decorated

>>395917
Just do paths and rides and shit first, then come up with scenery after all the paths and other shit are built.

>>395951

Nah, I'm leaving paths and rides to everyone here. Just wanted to set up a landscape so it's not just a sandbox.

Does a beach area, forest area, hill area, and flat grass area sound like enough?

>>395142
Eh, a lot of wasted space if you're not planning on building beneath the roller coasters but it looks like you're gonna clear it anyway. That gray/orange looper is cool.

I'll give you a 6.5/10 on it for where it stands.

>>395902
Feel free to put anything I've made in there.

So adding this Whoa Belly under the generic coaster has raised its excitement by about 0.19

>>393645

Sample:
Air Powered Vertical Coaster

Summary: This coaster can be impressive. After a powerful launch with a high max speed of 120 mph plus, the ride will go into a wide banked turn or a vertical spike, with a vertical descent. However, the ride doesn't have anything else going for it; once you've seen one, you've seen them all. What's more, the vertical descents can only be made in increments of 30 feet and supports are ugly and expensive.
Design tips: Start out on flat ground, and try to not crest a spike over 25 mph. Don't make large curves high off the ground, as they will be ugly and expensive.
Real life: Arrow and S&S both made these coasters, however only three were ever made. Hypersonic was only a spike and an oval and was removed in 2007, Dodonpa went fast but didn't do much, and ring*racer is plagued with problems. Not interesting in real life or in game.

>>393876
Shit guys!
Check this out!

It's super simple, yet I have nice stats!

These bumper cars added even more to the steel coaster's excitement.

>>396663

And you don't even have scenery yet. That'll bump it up even further.

>>396639
i wonder how much more you can add with scenery

>>395967

You can then ask the admin of vrct.tumblr.com to put them in his website.

>>396992

Update! Added Guide and Download pages along with the bottom bar which shows the site's hit counter (money), visitors right now (guests) and the date in the right.

Gonna add in custom rides and scenarios made by you guys tomorrow. Any other features I should add in then too?

>>397029
Thanks! Is it strange seeing things like this come from the guy who did the chrome park up above?

I also guess chain lifts back to the stations at the end isn't as big of a deal as I once thought?

>>397067
More than one chain lift on a ride looks awful still, but that ride looks fantastic anyway.

>>397116
I know, it's just that it's hard to keep the ride with enough momentum to do cool shit AND make it back up to 75ft. The prebuilt lifts only go to 120ft, though I suppose that's enough given my current results.

>>395091
B A S E D

>>397051
Doesn't seem to be working right in Chrome. All the windows are open and I can't drag them. In fact, now it doesn't seem to be working at all.

Alright, so remember that idea of making a park that we pass around and build roller coasters and such in them? Well I made such a scenario.

This scenario has all major roller coasters available, with some cart variants specifically for certain themes, various rides and stands to keep guests happy. We can see who gets to go first, second, etc., and then pass it around accordingly.

There are some rules that were briefly listed in the park description:
>everyone has a 30x30 space where they can build what they want, as they want, along with 15 blocks on each side of their space of commingle room so other park's coasters can intertwine with one another if they wish.
>under no circumstances can you alter or destroy other people's creations.
>each person gets 250k to build their mini park. You can get more from the loan, but please be aware that others need to build as well, so don't go over board.
>No scam karts/mazes. Umbrella price throttling is allowed, however.
>Don't block entrances to other people's parks or destroy pathways to them; we need to work together, not be mean to others. Not cool yo.
>Take between 2 to 3 in-game years to complete your park and no more.
>If it's not your turn to build, then don't build. We don't want to ruin the flow of things.

Park file is here, whoever wishes to start can start, but after that, we need to keep to a queue so no one jumps the gun.

>>397232
I don't know if that gate setup will work well...

>>397232
Should've blocked the paths off with No Entry signs.

>>397318

idea: is it possible to create logic gates with paths and no-entry signs

>be building a new incarnation of the Green Machine
>rain starts, don't notice breakdown notices because lolthunder
>fucking explosion
It was the ONLY coaster that could have had enough momentum to crash on brakes failure. Fucking demolished.

>>397303
it only allowed 4 gates, and there's one on each side. The only one who'd have trouble getting guests would be the center park.

>>397232

they could each represent a different 4chan board, not saying we should do that for this project but maybe as the next one

>>397331
>forgetting the picture EVERY time

>>397369
I like that idea too. I was gonna make it 5x5, but just as a proof of concept, lets do a 3x3, no holds barred park builds.

>>397373
So I replaced it with a simulator.

>>397051
OP Pic Guy
Do you have high quality images of the RCT logos? The one I used has ugly white around the edges.

>>397353
Guests will only come in on 2 path segments. That map has 4 seperate park entrances that they could come in, but only two will be used.

>>397051
There's a programme missing from the RCT1 list called RCT Access: http://web.archive.org/web/20050226225219/http://website.lineone.net/~rcthelp/RCT%20acCeSS.htm

It basically allows you to crack all the parks in RCT and its expansions, just crack the Mega Park, or reset your progress after cracking.

It was originally made by the site RCT Help, which then merged itself with RCT Station.

Here's the .zip of it: http://www.sendspace.com/file/1t59wu

>>397332
I don't think so, as you would need a way of making the environment respond to itself. If the no-entry signs could be told 'disable when a guest is at position A', that might do it, for example.

You might be able to jury-rig it by interspersing rides, which would act as capacitors if you timed them just right (obviously in that a guest would have to proceed through the ride to continue on the path).

>>397405
Does it simulate the explosion and the screams of the Old Rusty's passengers?

the excitement=price is somewhat true, it's rough (you can still put some rides at 3+ dollars with only a 2.6) and the queues are just an autist's way of seeing how popular a ride is, I sometimes do it but not to that extent.

He's doing double-digit block queues for rides that only hold about 8 people. That's purely illogical.

As is standard of my posting, here's part 2. Again, no way around needing a second lift hill, but I gotta do what I gotta do. The orange Hypercoaster is next on the block.

>>397945
have you read the thread at all

>>397480
Since nobody here has understood what he's doing: He's making long queues and putting lights on all of them, which in RCT1 is enough to keep guests content while waiting for rides. The constant long lines keep guests from cluttering footpaths, allowing him to keep them and, in turn, the need for an army of handymen to a minimum.
In RCT2 the effect of lights on happiness was reduced, so in order to achieve the same one would need an entertainer or two in every single line, which gets expensive very fast.

>>398124
so just create more pathways, a transport ride or a double-decked path. you'll need to hire a few more handymen and pathing's a bitch but it's easier and less convoluted than that.

>>397232
So, are you guys going to play the 3x3?

>>397051
A few things:
-RollerCoaster takes a capital "c".
-For the 83 RCT1 for RCT2: initially there were two RARs and none of them was complete. I joined them together. So all the scenarios weren't made by "Humble Programmer", but by various people. Some anon on /vr/ even reworked one them.
-The sandbox scenarios were made by Sesaru.
-Your website is beautiful!

>>398665
3x3 maker here, I guess I'll get it started.

>>398697
what's happening exactly?

>>398705
The idea was to pass around the save file to different people and each person makes a roller coaster or whole mini park in their designated area. If there was a list of people who'd want to do this so we know who to pass it to after the previous person was done rather than let it float around for who knows how long, it'd be far easier.

Not bad for when the game first came out.
