Does this confirm that the guests are robotic? Is that why the all have the same face?

>>4844341
On mini-golf courses, guests are riding an invisible car that stops for a while when it gets to a hole.

Why are the RCT scenarios so much better than 2's, bros?

Why are filthy frog fuckers still allowed to post, bros?

>>4844535
A lot of the scenarios just feel too low effort. Crazy Castle, Electric Fields, and Gravity Gardens along with the "Build your own Six Flags" are the only RCT2 scenarios I ever play pretty much. The expansion scenarios are even more disappointing since they're largely empty maps and the "new rides" are just reskins of existing rides.

>>4844535
RCT's scenarios are solid and considering 2 was essentially a bugfix/compatibility sequel I'm satisfied by the standard scenarios in 2.
The expansions, on the other hand, show an egregious gap in quality, polish, challenge, and novelty. Aside from the deserved respect to the scenery artists who worked on RCT2's expansions, WW/TT is drastically inferior to CF/LL.

>>4844535
I fully believe that they took less time when making RCT2's scenarios because they anticipated people would make and share their own with the scenario editor. Hell, maybe they did it to encourage sharing.

It's slowly coming together.
I'm fucking terrified to add foliage because once you do, you can't remove it.
Building on this scenario is like surgery, man.

>These old aesthetics
Although, most of those graphics are from newgrfs. It is a very attractive combination though. I like the chunkier roads and bridges of ARRS, and the buildings look very nice, though I'm not sure what set they are. Swedish houses? Or just TTRS and it's been such a long time since I played with it that I forgot what the early 20th c buildings looked like.

>>4848089

>the buildings look very nice, though I'm not sure what set they are

They're from the North American City Set which the creator deleted from the internet for reasons. Other people reuploaded them to the TT-Forums, but you can also find them in the openttdcoop grf pack.

http://wiki.openttdcoop.org/GRF

Pic related is my grf list for that game for those wondering.

I removed the observation tower and replaced it with a haunted house because it was ruining the sightline of the ride interactions in the middle of the river.

Also I really don't know what to do with the empty space near the Ferris Wheel and the woodie's lift hill. I've tried to fit rides there but it just doesn't work. Guess I have to get creative.

>>4848159
It's so annoying when good newgrfs aren't available on the in-game content downloader. This game has a small enough community to begin with, what is the point of trying to fracture it even more? But I guess that's what you get when your game attracts turbo-autists.

>>4843837
That takes me back.

>Gary Golf

>>4848541
You could probably fit a building with a ride in behind the Ferris Wheel, maybe a new Obs Tower? But some empty space is fine.

Isn't that chairlift a little too high?

>>4848589
I didn't want to fuck around with trees being in the way at all so I just made the chairlift super tall.
Remember, I can't remove trees.

>>4848606
Also it isn't THAT tall, it's just placed basically right along the park border.
Still wanted to clear the trees though.

>>4848606
I know about the trees. Generally amusement park chair lifts are really low so I'd try to get it as close to the treetops as possible.

>>4848631
For chairlifts that go down a park's midway, yeah they aren't that high up, but I have seen chairlifts that are in mountainous regions (like the one in Kolmarden, for example) that are easily 120 feet off of the ground.
I remember one of the Happy Valley parks in China that had two parts separated by a chairlift and that suspended you REALLY fucking far up over the coast.

I guess RCT's isometric perspective makes things seem taller than they really are.

>>4848674
>like the one in Kolmarden, for example
>randomly name dropping a quite obscure park less than an hour's drive away from me
Spooky. And I guess you're right.

Made a workbench. It could use more features and gardens, but this is what I got out of today.

>>4848729
Consider yourself lucky to have a park with an RMC of that caliber that close to you. The closest park to me is 6 hours away.

Hmmmm

So as a kid, playing your first citybuilder, what's some retarded shit you remember?
Like not getting what a thing meant, or just some asinine zoning.

>>4849693
I didn't know what the yellow/green/blue colors were for and i just typed out a cheat i heard about to place arcologies everywhere and made a crime ridden hellscape of a city.

>>4849693
I didn't understand that the animal representations of speed in Sim City 3000 were connected to the simulation speed. I just picked my favorite animal and stuck with it. This usually meant I played on Turtle, or African Swallow. I would do better on high speed because my city would actually generate money, whereas I would always fail under turtle, since I built out, ran out of cash, and took out loans.

Guess which animal I preferred? The fucking turtle.

>>4849728
Good man.

>>4849693
I struggled with SC2k and usually had unbalanced cities with very bad pollution and traffic. I usually would stick with simpler games like Simtower and SimAnt.

>>4849118
>Consider yourself lucky to have a park with an RMC of that caliber that close to you
Yeah, Wildfire is great, the zero-g stall is such an amazing inversion. I did not manage to go during its first season so I was quite worried when it did not open for its second and there were rumours about them having to tear it down.

>>4849693
The one and only thing I remember from any sim game at all was a memory of Theme Hospital's 4th, 5th and 6th levels.

I couldn't beat the 6th level no matter how I tried and given my memories I'm shocked I even beat the 5th level. I would plonk down rooms in the first available spots with corridors of 2 or even 1 tile width, zero rhyme or reason to where everything was and it was an absolute vomit hellhole. The problem especially exploded with level 6 introducing the epidemic.

I vaguely remember exactly what the first building of level 4 looked like and I'm sure I'd scream internally if I saw it in the flesh now.

>>4849824
Oh right, also I'm 99% sure I didn't know what junior / doctor / consultant meant, so I'd just hire whoever was cheapest with the qualifications I wanted.

>>4847821

>tfw passenger routes are overloading again

>>4849849

Eased most of the pressure. Part of the problem was cities growing and therefore needing more trains, but freight traffic was also slowing down mainlines on steeper routes. A few more avoiding lines have been built, mostly in the south, to keep freight from interfering with passenger operations.

In Mar 1960, the land values bugged out. But then a bug happened where they unbugged and rebugged, prior to another bug where the bugged unbug got bugged and unbugged the value overflow bug's underflow bug.

>>4850191

>>4849693

I used to do this thing in RCT where if I build a ride I would never build another type of it again. Alright have a wooden roller coaster? Not building another one. Steel coaster? Fuck, already built that. I have no idea why either since I knew there weren't any penalties of anything for having the same ride.

The same thing happened with me and Tropico. Build more than 1 canning factory? What the FUCK DO YOU MEAN? Jesus looking back I have no idea how the hell I beat any missions or got past the first few years of any island. Now that finally got out of that habit I do find the game a lot more boring since now I have 5 factories that produce a shit ton of goods.

Railroad tycoon was another weird one. It took me a while to understand that you don't need to have all your trains connect to every single god damn line and station. I would have like, 15+ stations and every train would connect to them instead of making drop off points and what not.

>>4849849
>>4849978
It's interesting to get a glimpse of your playstyle because it is pretty different from mine.
Your map looks strange to me though. You have several different colors representing track, where on my map I only ever see a distinction between electrified and non-electrified in that mode (even when using more than two kinds of track). Is that a client mod, or just provided by the track newgrf you are using?
Your landscape also looks like nothing I have ever seen. I usually generate a coastal/archipelago style map, which often takes an hour or more of generating and regenerating before it comes out looking decent. Yours looks like a nice continental map with very robust rivers, which I have not seen before. I love the distribution of cities, they are all realistically abutting a coastline or waterway instead of just distributed randomly. The distribution is "clumpy" enough that you can do nice multi-tiered networks of local and express lines. You are definitely going to want to build more separated, high-speed tracks isolated from your freight network as those cities grow, for your express lines.

>>4850434

>You have several different colors representing track
That's the North American Track Set. Different track types have different maximum speed and maintainence costs.

>Your landscape also looks like nothing I have ever seen.
It's a mountainous terragenesis map which I then modified by adding the rivers, towns, and industries by hand. Took a while but was worth it.

>You are definitely going to want to build more separated, high-speed tracks isolated from your freight network as those cities grow, for your express lines.
I plan for the future to a degree, but largely just build as I go and deal with problems as they arise. Some areas have dedicated freight and passenger lines, some don't. Depends on the terrain and traffic load. Generally I aim for a semi-realistic appearance.

>>4850502
>That's the North American Track Set. Different track types have different maximum speed and maintainence costs.
In my current game I'm also using a trackset that has those features (Japanese, with twelve railtypes) but the rails don't display that many colors on the map. I guess this trackset just doesn't define all different map colors like the American one does. That kind of makes me want to go in and edit some bytes though.

>by hand
Ah yeah, figures. It looks great though. I wish the terrain generator could make better maps on its own, but I guess that's hard. I still occasionally look for external terrain generators that can output heightmaps suitable for importing, but even if I found something perfect that would still leave a lot of work in manually placing cities and rivers.

>>4852002
>ywn piss lemonade
Literally actually honestly why even fucking live?

>>4847821

>19 platforms
>124 trains

Plebs should have bought a car.

>>4852371
Your rail network is insane, got any tips for me?

>>4852379

Other people will have different approaches, but these are the basics of what I do.

General
>Separate low and high speed traffic where possible.
>Try to avoid routing freight trains through busy passenger stations. Build avoiding lines around large cities if you need to. (pic related, right side)
>If your trains are larger you don't need as many. Just make sure your stations are long enough to accomodate them, otherwise they load and unload much slower.
>Grade separate busy junctions if you need to.
>Sharp curves slow traffic. Avoid building them unless forced to.
>Steep hills slow traffic down. Follow the contours of the land to allow shallower gradients If you are forced to build up steeper slopes compensate for it by using more powerful locomotives on that route.
>The vehicle grouping system is very useful for keeping track of your various services, as well as for replacing vehicles.
>Use the build while paused feature. Some people consider it cheating, others don't.
>Try to plan ahead and anticipate which areas will see the most growth in traffic. Build accordingly.

Passengers and Mail
>Large, fast, and long distance expresses calling only at cities. Stopping services travel between cities, calling at minor towns on the route. (pic related, map)
>Try to give each service a dedicated set of platforms at interchange stations to prevent them interfering with eachother.
>If a passenger station is completely overloaded but cannot be expanded, build a new station and connect them both with buses or trams.
>More trains doesn't always solve overcrowding problems. They can also be addressed by improving route speeds.

>>4852502

Freight
>When transporting raw materials (e.g. coal or iron ore) build a large loading station at an industry with high production. Set up feeder services from nearby industries of the same type to feed this main station. Cargo is then transported in large trains from this main station to its destination, minimising the number of freight trains on the network. (pic related).
>When transporting processed cargoes (e.g. goods or food) to cities, they should have dedicated unloading stations that are separate from the passenger station.
>Stations at secondary industries should have dedicated platforms for raw materials coming in and processed products going out. This means that trains loading processed products do not take up every platform and prevent trains bringing raw materials in, a situation which causes total gridlock.
>In addition to the above, separating the route into such a station allows trains bring raw materials in to pass trains queueing for a loading platform.
>Always have a depot at the entrance to the processed products loading platform so that should traffic grind to a halt, the excess trains can be stored in the depot to clear the section. (pic related, right side.).

>>4852502
Big things I'd love to know are mechanical rather than logical. For example in your earlier screenshot you have a huge rack of stations side by side that are presumably all considered part of the same station, how did you do that and what are the waypoints for in your case?

>>4852658

Two settings in the limitations catagory;
1. 'Maximum station spread' which is the maximum dimensions of a station, currently set to 20 in my game which is somewhat larger than the default.
2. 'Allow to join stations not directly adjacent', currently set to on. If you CTRL-click when placing station tiles a window pops up with all nearby stations. You can then choose which station you want the new tiles to be part of, even if they are not connected. This setting also allow you to place two separate station directly adjacent to eachother, something you can't do by default.

Regarding the waypoints, they are used to ensure specific trains use specific platforms. It prevents trains that are supposed to terminate at the station using the through platforms, and vice versa, as well as ensuring through trains use the correct through platforms and don't end up on the wrong mainline. Pic related.

>>4852002
The (Closed) makes it that much funnier.

not /vr/ but has anyone tried this?

In RCT2, is there some trick to make chairlifts of more than 2 stations work properly? It always happens to me that the intermediate stations are only used in one direction.

>>4853092
Breddy gud, although the passenger system is massively fucked up, vehicle capacities are weirdly low, and you quickly go from barely enough passengers to make a profit to so many you can't keep up with demand.
Trams are completely broken in this regard, they fill up in the first station and you can't ever keep up with demand in the town centers. In the end tram lines almost never turn a profit, because trams are just stuffed from the first stop on, and it takes too long for them to empty and get new passengers (and thus make money).
idk why they don't make a fix for that, all you'd need to alter are the maths of passenger production, demand, capacities, etc..

The railway building mechanic is absolutely amazing, it's great fun to build your railway systems. Flying junctions are a bit shitty because the bridgebuilding mechanic has its issues and you can't just build a ramp along other tracks. But it's nothing that's gamebreaking.
If you can deal with the passenger issues it's great fun.

>>4853406
Try having less stations on a line, more with busses. The stations in TF have a ridculous range, even the tram city ones.

Had the same issues as you did.

Just downloaded it an hour ago funnily enough, going to crunch hours on the aeroplane with it tomorrow. A small touch screen isn't really good to place things so I imagine it'll be a nightmare to build rollercoasters and get footpaths right but otherwise it seems to have enough content.

>>4854560

Well yeah, I'm going to. I just need to decide what IRL rides/parks I'm going to rip of first. Kinda want to do The Voyage but I'm unsure if it'll look good in RCT.

How do you build a "finish X coasters" scenario? I couldn't find the option for it in the scenario editor.

I'm going to visit Edinburgh in a while, is there any decent amusement park worth the name closer than Blackpool?

>>4860629
Ships

>>4861001
Through the "Saved Game as Scenario" option. It's something along those lines.

Is there any good custom paths and/or scenery for building good looking parking lots?

What happened to the /cbg/ on /vg/? For SimCity4 and Cities Skylines and such? Those use to be good threads.

>>4862235
Slowed down, couldn't live with the spammy crowded shitfest that /vg/ has become.

>>4861942
there are road object cs sets that include parking lot stuff, there's even custom rides meant to look like parking lots to save object space. You can also use base blocks for the road and walls under the base blocks for the white lines/markers, some objects poke through the base blocks

>>4859524

I haven't looked at sim city 3000 in 15 years so my memory might be failing me, but those buildings remind me of it. Are they modifications of sc3k's?

Did you build your amusement park in Mordor?

>>4864178

Amusement parks on Mars are canon in the RCT universe.

>>4864178
Look up Craters of the Moon national park, it's a volcanic hellscape in Idaho that looks almost exactly like that (minus the actively flowing lava river). It's all weird volcanic caves with huge mountains of black gravely stone on top. It would be hard to make it safe, since I'm sure the ground is unstable, but it's wild to imagine an amusement park there.

>>4864210
That's fucking beautiful.
Have people ever shot movie scenes there? Or do they want to protect the parkland?

>>4864187
I love that.

>>4864229
It looks like you can get a film permit, but I don't know of anything major that was filmed there. It was extremely windy, like too windy to talk to someone standing 10 feet away from you in a lot of places, when I visited. The caves would be usable for filming I guess, except I think they prohibit artificial light inside them (it causes surface plants/moss/algae to try to spread down there), and you could make a better looking cave on an indoor set anyway.

It's one of those places you should just try to see in person if you ever make it out there. Pictures don't really capture the combination of scale and detail. Same goes for the Badlands in South Dakota. Who knew dead rocks and melting piles of dirt could be some of the most beautiful things in nature.

Even worse is doing a similar ride in RCT1, where you basically have to add an extra mile to every hyper just because they hold momentum beyond any reasonable estimate.

>>4871693
Sloped brakes and diagonal brakes when?

Anyone here interested in an ongoing large multiplayer game of Open TTDX, played over a a number of days or even as much as two weeks or so?
The time would have to be between about 9:30/10am to about 2 to 4pm GMT time every day except for Friday being the only day I can't guarantee.
The game would begin on Monday, just get on the discord in the OP if you're interested.

>>4871715
Eh, they hurt my autism. But talking about non sloped brakes, allowing players to set block brake speed when?

>>4869214
I could have a copy for like $15 on amazon.

>track unsuitable for type of train
Is there any way to get around this without fucking around with merging?

>>4874042
you have to merge, unfortunately. Just makes the station twister track and merge it onto the layout immediately. You could also use a custom train

>>4875067
Oh, that would have been easier. I ended up solving it by adding an invisible, non-inverting turnaround beneath the dive loop.

Anyway, time to start working on custom supports. If anyone feel like commenting on the layout or colour scheme speak now or forever hold your peace.

>>4875330
The area around the hypercoaster is shaping up fine. I Can't come up with a decent name however. For a while it was named Platinum Star (also thought about Platinum Force) but while I like ripping of the names of real life coasters it felt to cheesy.

They B&M was originally going to be an Intamin Mega-Lite and I still kinda want to build one but having two big, modern coasters hardly fit with my original plan of a smaller park on a budget.

>>4876619
I'm not sure what you're getting at. I didn't say I was saving it until it became an antique or anything; I'm saying I bought it and then couldn't be fucked to even open it - never mind play it.

What's your favourite custom flatride and why?

>>4877953

Spooky

>>4878425
desu I was mostly just spamming scenery because excitement was like 5,90 and I needed to crank it up to six. Ironically after building the gondola next to it it ended up jumping from 6 to 6,20

R8/H8 my somewhat finished CGI Woodie. More rate than hate please, as I'm very pleased with the pacing and the second half of the ride.

>>4877990
The 'Rounded Up' by Amazing Earl, it looks like something that could have been in the original game.

Another one done! I love Alpine Adventures and filling it up with chairlifts.

>>4878976
Looks really comfy.

>>4878619
Low and fast, just like it should be.

>>4877807
The dude bitches and moans constantly, too. No self-awareness.

>>4878619
Quite nice, I like how it only has one major drop but still a varied, fast run. I also like the brake section with its scenery additions and how the queue is laid out within it.

alright i got RTC on steam and i have no idea on how to play it its confusing for my dumbass can an anon tell me who to play this game please

Any idea for a name? The coaster is a centerpiece at an entrance area. The buildings/theming is far from done but I have not decided what style I'm going to go with yet.

>>4880952
>Avenger
I like it, according to the lore (what, your RCT projects don't have their own lore?) the coaster is only a couple of years old and replaced an older Woodie. However, I also have an Intamin Mega-Lite that similarly replaced an older Arrow Corkscrew and I feel like the name is a better fit for it.

>>4881142
What's the significance of the 11 tile station?

>>4881226

If a train is longer than the station it is using then it loads and unloads at a slower a rate, so longer trains need longer stations to prevent them taking too long and holding up other trains.

>>4877807

>unnamed rides
Consider suicide.

I can't say much about it since there aren't any custom rides, but there's also nothing wrong with it. Try out some custom rides with scenery, even if it's just a car ride or log flume.

>>4882092
Is this the first time you're playing? In that case your park is among the best I've seen.

>>4882107
I too have a seizure whenever a merry-go-round is just called that.

>>4882170
For flatrides it's fine as long as you remove the number. Roller Coasters need unique names.

>>4882162
I have played before, many years ago, when the first RCT was released.
And I'm having economic problems, I make more expensive the more popular rides, drinking and food shops, but still I have to take some bonds because if not I'm between the red and a few dollars and can't expand the park to meet the scenario requirements...

>>4882189
One usual tip for Crazy Castle (and valid for any scenario with excessive paths) is to delete the castle walkways, it will give you some money, guests won't get lost and they will spend money paying for rides instead of walking around the castle.

>>4882302
Oh nice, thanks

>>4876630
Where'd you get that support scenery from? Looks sexy af

>>4882370
Probably from some NED workbench. The name of the scenery group is GW - B&M Supports - Complete Scenery Group and they're made by some guy called Toon.

>>4881078
Nice coaster, great stats for its size. I would have made it longer tho. And the colors are kinda dull.

>>4882178
good post
DELET

How am I doing? Ghost Town is tough, idk how the hell I'm gonna fit ten 1200m coasters there, but I'll sure as hell try. I'm pretty proud of my woodie although I fucked up by not thinking of proper block sections, now I only get two trains, oh well. Also check out the clusterfuck that is the mine cart coaster. The final curve section I built just to get it up to 1202m kek. Aptly named "Minecart Madness". Excitement 8.52, Intensity 9.23, Nausea 5.59 ...

>>4882974
Welp, Mine Cart Madness crashed. Why the fuck do rides that work perfectly well suddenly crash for no reason? Thank god for the refurbishing option.

>>4882974
Ghost Town is one of few parks I've never managed to get good looking. You just have to go extreme spaghetti, having Gigas and Hypers go up in the mountains.

>>4883014
How fast do the carts go when they enter the station? If there's more than one lifthill, how fast do the carts go when they enter them?

>>4882676
>I would have made it longer tho
Yeah, I'd like it like 100m longer but I can't really fit another element while keeping the high speed throughout the ride.

>And the colors are kinda dull
You're right. I want the ride to look like it is 10 years old and was never repainted but it's a little too brown.

>>4883027
There's a bunch of lift hills, they mostly go between 15-25 km/h when entering. I've raised the minimum waiting time from 3 sec to 5, I hope that gives it a safer margin. I also had them wait for full load so that no empty trains would run, those do get dangerously close to full ones.

>>4882676
>>4883034
I did add a little more track. I'm a little surprised that it affected the stats negatively, apparently that second hill is the most exciting part of the ride with its intense forces.

Hey, is A-Train any good? I have played on the 3DS and had a good time with it, but are retro A-Trains worth looking at or are they totally outdone by TTD?

>>4883229
I recall hearing from a friend it was a bit complex and micromanag-y, but if you're used to city builders and other sims, I assume it's easy enough to get into.

>>4882107
For anything but Coasters all I do is remove the number

>>4883229
It is ... interesting
watch this review of it by LGR on PC : https://youtu.be/L3pRUb7_VQM

>>4882092
Starting off small is smart.

>>4882107
>naming flat rides
You only need to name flat rides if they're customized in some way.

>>4883048
Another thing to note is that safety cutout breakdowns stop lift hills, and that can cause trains to stack at the bottom of lift hills. This can cause rollback, which might be what was happening.

Spaghetti as FUCK

It really trigger my "autism" that continuous circuit mode does not work with track merging.

Speaking of autism, building custom/hacked water rides takes legit ages. It took a couple of hours but at least they're both functional now. It's to bad you can't have dual, functioning, stations for the log flume.

>>4885845
How does that station platform work? I've tried to do that Intamin revolving platform but just used a station at either side.

>>4885860
I'm honestly not quite sure. There's four stations, two for the guide track (one of them is hidden underground) and two for the Rapids. Rapid station #2 is the only station with entrance and exit, for some reason it serve guide track station #2 which is the station where the rafts stop.

I followed this guide when I built the thing: https://www.reddit.com/r/rct/comments/1j6pi7/guide_to_realistic_river_rapids/
I feel like it might be possible to remove the two "redundant" stations but I've spend enough time on this and don't feel like experimenting more.

>>4885889
that guide is very outdated. To do the station you just need the 1 tile station piece where the boats stop before/after the curve, then you use the tile inspector to copy and paste the entrance/exit, move the to the centre of the curve, then delete the old entrance and exit on the station.

Make sure it hit the "make usable" button on the new entrance/exit location in the tile inspector.

You've been improving a lot lately Narc, its been really cool to see

>>4886062
>outdated guide do this instead
Wow, that made the whole thing much less of a clusterfuck. Thanks.

>You've been improving a lot lately
Eh, maybe. Except minor improvements I feel like my style have been quite consistent the last two years. However my builds have been a little more ambitious this summer. However, my roller coaster knowledge have greatly improved.

Image related is a little more than 1 year old and probably my best coaster.

So I am using OppenRCT, and I remember being able to open a GUI and set things up like cheats, collision and shit. For some reason I cant find that menu now. Did they change it or something?

>>4886232
Nevermind I found it

>>4886371
>Inspired by Nemesis, I assume?

>>4886184
hmmm yeah biggest thing about your layouts I'd say is that while they follow a realistic shape for the most park most of them seem to take up more space than they should given the context of the park. Like that hyper you recently made, had this weird aread between the lift hill and ending section of just open ground unutilised.

This is mostly a park layout and planning issue though, where your rides are being built and then the park around them

>>4886883
Yeah, you're right. I'm admittedly to fond of greenery, forests and non paved areas. I've been trying to keep this park more focused than my older ones (which are all extremely spread out) but along the edges I've been letting myself go.

Do you usually plan the whole park out before you build? I started out with the Hyper but both the Woodie and the Mega-Lite were built in predefined spaces which worked out quite well.

>tfw want to start an RCT2 sandbox but don't know what kind of park i should build

Maybe a small family owned park based in Germany or something.

Does Open RCT2 allow the path customization and extra landscapes introduced in the RCT1 expansion packs?

What's actually the best in game scenario of the series?

>>4887990
Leafy Lake

>>4887708
I liked it, like a SimCity on steroids, but the limited transportation options were a bit disappointing.
Cities in Motion 2 OTOH has the transportation management that is closest to perfection. Would just need a little tweak to the timetable system, allowing island platforms on roads so that buses/trolleys/trams don't have to be on the outermost lane to make a stop, defining bus lanes as other than the outermost lane, and better metro options (establishing paths, defining switches, easier flyover junctions, not needing retarded loops at the end; basically just a Transport Tycoon or locomotion tier track management). Still, I had enormous fun playing CiM2, I only wish there were more scenarios.

tl;dr CiM2 > Skylines

>>4887990
WRONG, it's Alpine Adventures.

>>4887137
>carny games
>realistic wild mouse
>trackless rafts
fuck yeah dude

Is something wrong with OpenRCT2? Because I have tried doing the scenarios and guests tend to ignore some of my rides and barely spend or nothing at all to anything in my park.

>Playing Dusty Dunes on Open RCT2
>Build a log flume that has medium excitement

WTF is happening?

>roller coaster tycoon guests aren't anime girls

>>4887137
yeah. I've actually never once finished a solo full sized park, even when I was young, but I've worked on a lot of projects with other people and have a lot of unfinished stuff. Generally I find that realism works best when you plan the park in a rough timeline stage.

ie. what was the size and layout of the park when it opened? What about 10 years later, and 10 years after that? If you think about when things were built, it helps to figure out where to put them and how to lay them out. Parks always start small and expand later, so in the planning, start small and expand later. You don't need much detail in it at all, and honestly you can just say fuck it and build what comes to mind a lot of the time anyway.

Generally the first thing I do is a terrain outline, then the path layout gets planned, then rides, buildings etc. Foliage comes last. The big thing you want to keep in mind is the level of interaction the guests have.

>>4889374
>>4887137
Theme parks irl tend to build entire areas at once. All of the rides and attractions within that area are designed to work with each other as much as possible to provide the most immersive experience for guests. There's the famous double corkscrew visible from the path at Cedar point, or how the chairlift interacts with Matterhorn Bobsleds at Disney World, etc etc. They don't just build a cool layout and throw shit around it, they make sure that the guests not on the ride can also enjoy it in some way, or that its presence adds to the atmosphere of the park. This is usually achieved by utilising interaction, where the ride goes over, under or through something else. That may be the surrounding path, another ride, the queue line/exit etc etc.

pic related (https://www.nedesigns.com/park/3800/nedc4-115-the-junkyard/)) is a great recent example. The layout is no bigger than it needs to be. While not exactly compact, no space is really wasted inside the layout. There's space around it, but it doesn't use that space just because it's there.

There are three main pointsof exciting, non rider interaction of the ride: The eating area next to the corkscrews, the path placed perfectly to watch the loop, and the cobra roll through the go-karts, visible from everywhere on the map. Notice how those go karts work with the path too, rather than around it? The diagnonal shipping containers both add to the themeing and enhance the experience of the people walking around the park.

Being a design, this isn't a full park. Ideally however, each area of a (large, heavily themed) park should be built like its a design, where you can just take the whole area out and it still works on its own

>>4889401
Here's an ncso example (https://www.nedesigns.com/park/3784/steppenwolf/).). I edited in most of the more obvious sightlines and interaction points because I can't be fucked writing them down. Steppenwolf is such a high level ncso build and like, the gold standard by which NCSO is now judged, along with Blue Oak and a few others. You could basically stand anywhere on the path and there'd be something you'd want to take a photo or video of as a guest. There are so many places that as you're just walking around you can see riders flying past. Notice how the entrance bridge to the area by the woody is built in a way that reveals the scale and detail of the layout as guests enter the area? See how the cobra roll is placed perfect for people to be intimidated by the ride and impressed/scared throughout the entirety of greyback mountain just by seeing riders go through that thing.

There's always something on this map to stop and watch, no matter where you are. Steppenwolf, the woody, the log flume, the boat ride, the rock climbing. The park layout is calculated to never let a guests not see other guests having fun. This is what makes a park layout in RCT and irl really good

>>4889302
Rides lose value over time, it's been like that since RCT1.

>>4889401
>>4889426
Riverland (https://www.nedesigns.com/park/4013/map/3735/riverland/)) takes this principle to an extreme. Its pretty much a direct ripoff of Phantasialand in Germany, with multiple heavily themed areas and thrilling rides. Its incredibly dense, and definitely not what you'd see in an American park from chains like Six Flags or Cedar Fair, but it is an incredible example of masterful park planning and design. The release has 9 save files, showing how the park evolved over time from its humble beginnings in the 70's to its current look now in the overview and final save. Use this, and other timeline parks, as an example of how parks are planned irl. Applying these principals to your current skill level? You could easily get a bronze on NE if you built NCSO, at your current skill level with scenery work (and you're improving there too). I'd suggest posting your current park to NE when its done too, you'll get some great feedback. Just wait until h2h finishes imo.

>>4889443
Jesus why so soon? I don't recall them degrading that soon, usually it takes a year or so, not months.

>>4889374
I've actually done that, I have a general idea of how the park developed and a timeline for when rides were added. For example the Hyper and the Drop Tower are the latest additions, while the Enterprise already existed but were moved and repainted as the new area was developed during a 3 year period.

Part of why the last part of the Hyper is a little strange is that I wanted the lift and first hills to be seen from the road passing the park while also having path interaction inside the park.

I think I'm going to change the (planned) layout of my park slightly to create more interaction around the Mega-Lite that's now mostly facing the train and backstage. One thing I've realized from looking at all the parks you've posted is that my paths are way to inorganic, they're quite unlike the paths in Junkyard that flow around and hug the attractions.

I have been meaning to post my stuff to NE for a while, it will probably happen one day.

>genericly named spaghetti

Fun little coaster fact

The first modern suspended coaster wasn’t the Bat built by Arrow.
But it was this Alpenflug coaster built by Messerschmitt Bölkow GmbH. with the help of Werner Stengel.

It was a travelling coaster in Germany, and premiered at the Oktoberfest in 1975 and was scraped not much later due to technical problems.

>>4889264
The guest AI is kind of wacky, every update tends to adjust some behavior. Try using the cheat "Guests ignore ride intensities" if it's truly bothering you.

>>4890369
yeah everybody falls into the trap of having paths the same width and/or a very rigid, rectangular/square-like flow.

NE also likes to talk about "path island syndrome" which is where your paths look like a bunch of squares/circles with rides inside them

>>4890669
BANK

>>4890669
>>4891454
I find it odd that they didn't account for the stresses on the structure while allowing the pivot to handle banking. That's sophomore engineering.

>>4891429
The problem is a lack of curves of any kind in RCT's paths. It's so easy to build on a grid when your paths are limited to 90 degree bends and any attempt at a curve ends in zigzags.

>>4891429
>"path island syndrome"
I feel like it's especially hard to avoid this if you're trying to emulate the american "rides slapped down on a parking lot" style of park.

>>4890669

While I'm reconsidering how to layout the rest of my other park I decided to start a new one. I failed at planning the whole layout of the park before I started building. The green areas are going to be entrances, the yellow area a kiddie area (I'm thinking gardens and swan themed), the checkered area is a big stage, the red area more of an intense area and the ice area water rides, probably with a mine theme. The park is going to be surrounded by backstage areas. At the point of the ridge I plan an observation tower, unfortunately I don't manage to get the Roto Drop vehicle to spin when in Observation Mode.

I plan at least two more big coasters, probably a Woodie and a Schwarzkopf, but I kinda want to build another Mega-Lite. Points to anyone that can name the coaster I've ripped of yet.

Anyone here like RCT3?

>>4892791
It was fun for a week. Then I got pissed with the landscaping.

>>4892791
RCT3 is still fun if that's what you want to play, but I think it's been outdone by Planet Coaster nowadays.

>>4890264
The first few months the ride has a "just built" status which gives you a huge bonus on ticket prices. After the "just built" switches to "built this year" the bonus goes away, or at least its significantly lower.

>>4893790
I was wrong. It starts at "this year" and goes to "one year ago" after an in-game year.

>Mfw playing Open RCT2 with Iceberg Islands and use the cut-away view to see the underground tunnels

>>4893825
I don't think it's exact, it's more of a gradual decline.

>>4892791
RCT3 is generally agreed to be good, not great.

The art style lacks the charm the first two games had, but it had some great features that made it worth playing. The coaster cam was everything I'd hoped for and more when I first got the game.

I'm just trying Volcania and holy shit is it pretty fun surprisingly. I have never tried the "Complete 5 coasters objective", but it is pretty fun having to work with some incomplete tracks and predetermined track types, especially for ones you'd normally not use.

Massive towns are inevitable in a game of TTD. The world population of my current game has increased from ~250k in 1920 to ~2.77m in 2066, and that's with the growth speed set to normal.

>>4896991
can towns be upgraded to cities if their population rises enough?

>>4897054

No, cities status is assigned during world generation or in the editor.

>>4896886
Towns and cities will grow if you transport passengers. Even a bus line inside the city will cause it to slowly grow. In the sub-tropical or sub-arctic climates you also have to transport food and water to towns that are in the desert or snowy areas though.

I tried downloading RCT2 again however i find that's the burstintotreats website doesn't exist anymore. I'm guessing i'm gonna have to buy the game this time?

That's a better way to tell the game was released in 2004 than the graphics.

>>4895295
If you're playing a foreign scenario/map, you gotta gauge a median from new guests. Some will carry up to $60, some only $40, and from there make an educated guess to a consistent price.

I seethe at Pay For Park scenarios, especially ones that lack ATMs. You can't charge $20 umbrellas for easy money, because once your guest has less than enough for foods and stalls, they will automatically want to go home, regardless of their mood.

What is the ideal way to manage city growth in openttd? I feel like it can become tedious to clean up some of their stupid road choices when the map is to big and it causes train crashes

Scenery is essential to all gentle rides - railroad, observation tower, maze, car ride, etc. You can push them up to 4 or 5 excitement which is really the only way to properly please low intensity guests.

>>4910902
Doesn't scenery only play a part in more constructed rides like roller coasters and the gentle rides you specified, it doesn't seem like scenery is effects things like the ferris wheel or merry-go-round, unless I just need to put them in a forest of scenery to get those kinds of numbers.

>>4910920
Pretty sure it affects everything. Try going apeshit with quarter tile scenery and fences.

Lads, why can't I make realistic cities and coasters?

Which ones harder in your opinion? Nevermore Park, or Pleasure Island from Looping Landscapes, or Ghost Town in RCT2? Pleasure Island only requires 10 coasters with 6 or higher excitement but is the smallest and narrowest of the bunch. Nevermore is the largest and you have more stuff researched already but requires 7 or higher excitement and requires longer coasters. Ghost Town is a balance between the two only being moderately sized, and requiring 1200 m for them, but you have to research more rollercoasters and the ones you have will likely make your guests puking.

>>4911197
Because you haven't spent the time to study these thing IRL?

>>4903610
>Look at picture thinking is a Mr. Bones tier shitpost coaster
>Its a fucking calculator

>>4911257
Pleasure Island is probably hardest because of the limited size of the park.

Why are my mechanics trying to go to attractions outside of their patrol range? Is this a bug in OpenRCT2?

Anyone else ever had this happen to them before? I was playing Locomotion and playing a scenario on the West coast of America and was selling goods to Dallas. The thing was that Dallas kept fucking rebuilding the buildings that accept goods so I kept having to stall the good trains or even relocate the station to another place. This happened like four times.

>>4910920
Try putting a building around an observation tower station. That shit will DOUBLE the score. It's awesome.

>>4914020
>those three sections of track right next to eachother at the same height and slant
muh dick. good job anon

This makes me so comfy and happy

>>4914397
Smooth those edges a bit by adding some tiles around them that aren't quite reaching the top.

because i'm a fucking retard

do i need the original game rct 2 to play open rct2?

>>4914621
Yes.

>>4914625
thanks.

Anyone know how to do those angled walls that aren't on the ground like pic related with the castle walled bridge?

>>4914917
Not 100% sure this is what you mean but if you open up the tile selector, pick a tile and find the object in question you can make it sloped.

Friendship with chain lift ended. Now launcher is my new best friend. And good god, I needed way too long for this...

Okay here we go then

Fun little coaster fact

Vekoma’s first coaster was the Corkscrew with Bayern Curve.
And the first one ever produced was a travelling coaster.
The coaster only operated for one fair in august 1979 at the Annakirmes Fair in Duren, Germany. Immediately after Oscar Bruch and Fritz Kinzler sold the ride to Traumland Park in Bottrop, Germany (Traumland Park is now Moviepark Germany).

>>4915607
With the Arrow train ofcourse

>>4915609
And Arrow Track, right?

>>4915803
Vekoma and Arrow have very similar looking track

>>4915547
>>4915545
I'm feelin it

>>4849693
When playing Theme Park i would build walls in a cross shape because i didn't know what they were for. So most of my parks had "beauty spots" filled with trees, ponds and walls in a cross shape.

I also remember not building outhouses for people because outhouses were gross, so i hired tons of researchers and used to do the facilities research until i got the regular toilets. There was also the rubber ring ride which would normally turn into a giant mess covered with paths. Also every ride was at max speed because the park had to be the "best". I also put the coffee shop somewhere obscure because kids shouldn't drink coffee.

How does one get into side-friction coasters? I noticed that similar to dinghi slides or bobsleds, the train takes off if it's too fast. Does anyone have some recommendations on design?
Also, anyone mind posting "exotic" ride types for inspiration?

>>4917204
The golden rule is that trains should never go over 26-28 mph when cresting hills. Don't forget to take into account the momentum and additional speed a full train carries, usually +1 mph.

>>4843837
SimGolf was so fucking good. I loved playing all the courses with my golf pro too.

>>4915803
No, Arrow had an agreement with Vekoma in which Arrow licensed its patents to Vekoma while Vekoma used Arrow trains on its roller coasters.

>>4917545
Yeah initially Arrow partnered with Vekoma to manufacture and distribute Arrow parts and rides in Europe but Vekoma eventually came to America and started competing against Arrow using Arrow's own ride designs.

i want to play rct2 but i dont want to get addicted again

help

>>4917610
A scenario a day keeps the addiction away.

And don't cheat.

>>4850563
yo nigga if you are still there would love to see your trackset and stuff
infact, would love to see your save file, idk all these complex train stuff.

>>4903653
So its not a REAL calculator? Shame, I was hoping we would see a follow up video on the turing completeness of Roller Coaster Tycoon

>>4917204
Focus less on airtime, and more on large, sweeping hills with curves at the top. Try a large drop, with a large incline back up, and turn around. Rinse and repeat, with each hill slightly shorter.

Been looking for this for ages but finally found the issue.

This is a review of RCT from the Spring 1999 edition of the now-defunct UK computer magazine PC Guide.

>Cries Sawyer
>it's not simple enough

>>4919364
Imagine having taste as bad as the writers for gaming magazines in the late 90s.
I'd probably kill myself.

>>4919380
I guess gaming press has just rarely ever been good and nobody should expect it to be.

The sooner people realize the establishments lie to them, the better.

>>4919383
There have been standouts. I used to read Computer Games Magazine which was fantastic - proper reviews and a fascinating guest article in every issue - until it got killed by the DUMBEST nonsense - it's parent company spammed the fuck out of MySpace users and got sued into oblivion. I will never not be mad.

>>4919380
>>4919383
PC Guide wasn't even a specialist gaming magazine.

The review is completely nonsensical and honestly reads like the reviewer had no clue what they were doing.

>RCT took a game 11 years older and did nothing to improve it
>the graphics are worse than this
>Alton Towers is worse than Disney World

>>4919391
Swedish PC Gamer was kind of decent at times, but occasionally hipsterish.
I smelled a rat immediately as they gave Duke Nukem Forever a good score, could never trust them again.

>>4919419
>RCT took a game 11 years older and did nothing to improve it
He even got that wrong. Theme Park was released in 1994.

>>4919364
>cries sawyer

>>4919364
What the fuck is this reviewer on about? Is this satire?

>>4919419
wait hold on.
Hold the fuck on.
Theme Park is a 1994 game, not a 1988 game.
The reviewer couldn't even get solid facts correct.

>>4920190
I honestly couldn't make head nor tail of it.

Although saying that, there is a preview for Theme Park World in the same issue which sucks its dick for the 3D engine despite it having aged really badly unlike RCT.

Its here.....

https://github.com/CorsixTH/CorsixTH/releases/tag/v0.62

>>4921232
But why? The original version works just fine.

What is a good way to yield money in Theme Park? I know people become caffeine junkies if I max out the coffee shops sugar, but I am always at a bottleneck for money. Any ideas or builds to demonstrate what could yield high capital?

>>4922289

Put food shops at the highest quality and charge them the max before people start to complain about pricing.

Side shows should be just a weeeee bit below half when it comes to winning and also do the same for that. Feel free to build multiple side shows.

Also just make sure you have proper patrol routs for staff so you aren't hiring to many and priorities ride upgrade for research as that makes rides break down less, hold more people and make them more fun. It's better to have few upgraded rides than a bunch of non upgraded ones.

>>4922368
I am playing the SNES version though, I do not know if you can upgrade rides.

>>4922379

Oh, I thought you ment Sim theme park.

>>4919364
Haha, wow. Imagine being the author and reading this review 20 years later.

i want to play persona 5 in 60fps

what do i need?

>>4843837
i still play this game at least once a year.

I wish it was open and there was a modding scene

>>4921232
For those who've missed it, a bunch of the original Theme Hospital devs got together and are making a modern day remake of Theme Hospital.

>implying anyone can get that or SimCoaster to run these days unless you have a hobby Win95/XP build

does openrct2 allow custom music for rides?

>>4924897
https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/wiki/Custom-Music

It's been a long time.

Is there no way to let you add more themes and tracks when creating scenarios in open RCT2?

>>4849693
I couldn't figure out for shit how to get skyscrapers in SC4. I never budgeted properly, ever.

Anyone here really pissed off on how simply changing the exit and entrance placements it requires you to test the ride again? It's so stupid and tedious.

Looking forward to the day I've been dead for a decade but open RCT2 let's you add as many attractions and decorations you want to your custom scenario.

>>4924443
I tried to do that with Sim Coaster by following a guide that said you needed to use an online serial code (because I lost my code), disconnecting the Internet and using safe mode on my Windows 7. It still didn't work. It's a damn shame because I remember having decent fun with that game and it had it's unique charm with having multiple missions to accomplish rather than just one objective kind of like the ones in RCT3 along with the optional challengesand Thrillville.

Has anyone here ever rode an inverted roller coaster? You know ones where you're under the track. How does it feel like in contrast to one where you're above the track?

I have seen some people gush over isometric view, and honestly I have no love or nostalgia over it. Sure back then it worked, but it doesn't allow much of a way to really view indoor areas, ergo for ghost train rides you don't really have to worry about decorating indoor portions, or allow you see into bottlenecked areas. Nor does it really allow you to see your creations at any angle. Thank god for OpenRCT introducing that "view only a certain area" view options.

>>4926728
Vote up, familia. Even though it will be decades before anyone decides to "reverse engineer" it and make it playable.

https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/sim_coaster

But yeah, the micro-management in it was casual, but very fun to mess with, especially with the Board of Directors challenges and getting dosh and golden tickets. That's a big complaint I heard about Planet Coaster is that those features are just negligible, and I don't think it had the fun asshattery of problematic guest stinkbombing your toilets or being a vocal sperg to your guests about how awful you park is.

And to be frank, I think it's the second-best coaster game that uses pylon-construction right, and you could make some really fucked and fun coasters on it.

>>4926951
I wonder if there's porn of that Sim Coaster advisor.

>Many of the ethical foods are oriental in RCT2 like basedbean milk, and beef noodles.
Was Chris Sawyer a weeb?

>>4917581
>detailed explanation of the development of the corkscrew
>absolutely nothing about the clothoid loops that followed
What the shit?

>>4926951
I wish I could get sim theme park to work on my pc

Does paying off your loan increase park value?

>>4927272
>ethical foods
Is this a fancy way of saying "vegan"?

>>4928039
I've actually never seen a downside to maxing out a loan, the interest rate is pennies at worst. Thinking on it, it might've just been an easy button.

>>4928064
I think anon meant to say ethnic

>>4928064
I unironically wish there were more vegetarian food stalls in RCT

>>4928150
>>4928064
Yeah I meant to say ethnic as in "foreign", my bad.
