/vr/ - Retro Games

Here is the OP text:

sorry son

this board belongs to /v/ now lmao

Anyone have that pic with the roller coaster that had a max turn of 30g or something like that.

should we all just do openRCT2 or something?

>>5586018
Its not too late

Tell me about the guests, why are they all dudes and why do they all have the exact same haircut?

>>5585127
The OTT threads were better, but I want to say that was before /vr/ was a thing.
https://www.openttd.org/
Multiplayer with /v/ was a blast.

>>5587839
It's a metaphor. Since you're a tycoonist and all you care about is money, everyone you see is represented by the most average person your inconsiderate mind can think of.

>>5588548
>not playing RCT as a bearded, top-hat wearing, eccentric Willy Wonka type that wants to bring joy and imagination to the world

>>5587839
Did you just assume their gender?

>>5585127
/vr/ct was starting to falter, so in a last ditch effort to stay alive, it opened up to other tycoon/citybuilder games and became /tcg/ - Tycoon/City Builders General.
It helped for a little while, but it finally died out in February.
A discord got opened up, so that may have contributed to it's death.

DONT DIE ON ME

Anyone got a download of the lunatim files? Seems the website is gone now :(

I really liked the landscape of lunaland

>>5596135
His site is on the Internet Archive. All of the RCT2 files are downloadable from there, and most of the RCT1 stuff is, too. This link has all the RCT1 stuff.

is that new one for Switch any good

>>5596736
no

>>5596739
that sucks. Sorry if not retro. I thought it might have been a compilation

>>5585127
Mods put a 1 week time limit on threads, so they stop bumping after 7 days, and only on /vr/.

God knows why, some of the best threads on /vr/ are the long winded ones where people talk a lot about a game over weeks, and it kind of kills a lot of the good generals on here.
Big ones like /doom/ and /homm/ seems to survive, because they're populous, but it's nearly impossible to keep the RCT/Sim generals running like this, which is unfortunate, because I think these threads can be very nice.

Nobody knows why they're doing this, and just on this board, and for how long they intend for it, but I really want them to stop it and restore it back to normal.

>>5596756
RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic is a nice smartphone port though.

>>5589562
Is the Discord any good?

>>5597150
It's 2 weeks, anon.

>>5597301
So they changed it? Why is it here at all?

>>5594824

>>5587839
Turn on actual names and you'll see they're not all dudes.

>>5594824
To be fair, Atari improved their coaster building skills for the RollerCoaster Tycoon Adventures marketing.

>>5597150
Honestly, the problem was lack of new content and active collabs. Retarded bump limits is not really a problem, you can just start a new thread once the current one is on auto sage, regardless of the reason.

I recently participated in a NED contest with this micro park and got absolutely BTFO. Fucken nerds.

>>5599612
The use of the mine barrels as pots is really cool.

I also built a coaster based on a recent concept by CGI.

>>5599752
There's load of objects that can be used as planters if you're brave enough, and planters really make paths look better.

>>5600358
Image related.

>>5596736
View any new RCT game with utmost skepticism.

>>5601901
With all the crazy crap OpenRCT2 is doing, I've lost any reason to be disappointed about "official" RCT stuff. You can put steep slopes on the side friction coaster now, holy shit.

I recently picked this back up and got really serious about the coaster design. As a kid I could only handle the business and scenery theming parts of it, but couldn't grasp the idea of a coaster being too awesome that it somehow sucks.

I was really surprised that google didn't turn up any forums or archives of people's ride designs. Think that would be an easy file to share, and a community around this. The wiki was pretty impoverished too. Couldn't get any data about internal mechanics.

I've been trying to build coasters with optimum excitement, safety, and throughput for as little space as possible. Anybody else enjoy compacting rides?

For the life of me, I can't build a steel mini coaster that's better off with spinning cars than the default. It almost always makes the ride worse. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

>>5600360
What's the benefit of the steel supports on the lift? Is it because wooden supports for a hill that high would need to spread outwards more?

>>5602203
I posted the screen on NED and one of the people who built the model actually commented on the post.
>I helped build that model. The idea behind those supports is they'd be a little more regular and fan out from a shared footer. Some aesthetics as well as practicality. One of the big reasons the lift was done that way was to clear existing structure.

>>5589562
>A discord got opened up
And this here is the reason the thread died. I hope they enjoy their Discord.

>>5585127
>Cupid's Revenge
I remember the original coaster. It is launched, right? I think another coaster type would have fit better.

Bump, let's give the thread another day.

I can't wait to download open rct2. I loved that game as a kid, I wanna pimp out a couple parks.

>>5609890
Make sure to post whatever you build.

>>5607514
So comfy and tasteful

>>5594824

>>5612156
I wonder what the strongest laterals on a real coaster are. Ghostrider at Knott's does it's best to throw you out the side on the last helix.

Did anything happen to openrct2.org?
There seems to be a malware warning by "Google Safe Browsing" on the site and all the downloads are 404d.

>>5601901
I've only played the first one nearly 20 years ago (loved it), so thank you very much for this tip.

>>5613957
https://openrct2.io/ is the official site. I asked one of the developers a while ago and apparently Googles algorithms consider frequent updates, like they do, suspicious behaviour and there's noting anyone can do about it. The warnings are false positives.

>>5613965
Thanks for the info, the download over there worked.

>>5607514

My first park. I spend the entire month of July trying to figure out how to set up an entrance to the log flume.

>>5615787
Is this your first time ever playing? Because that would be quite impressive.

>>5616252
I haven't played since 2011 but back then I couldn't figure the game out. I used the same decoration method in RTC as I do in Simcity 4, minimal grid and a bunch of trees and in this case hedges too.

This really grinds my gears.

Any one have a good name for a Merry-go-round in a roman themed area? Circus Maximus feels a little to grandiose.

>>5617945
If Circus Minimus is too dumb, you could possibly use Ludi Publici, or Hippodrome.

>>5618121
>Circus Minimus
lmao, it's perfectly dumb. Ludi Publici is also a great suggestion.

>>5585339

fuck yes

>>5607514
holy fuck i think i nutted. i need to boot up RCT right this instant god damn.

My current project is getting close to completion. Here's a small square with a loose Egyptian/Arabian theme.

>>5619334
Nice, I like the realistically sized buildings.

>>5619362
Yeah, because of how small most flat rides are in RCT you have to limit yourself when building buildings or they will dwarf the rides. On the other hand you can't build them to small, Most in game shops are ridiculously small, there's no room for any kind of kitchen in any of the food stalls.

>>5619334
>not cleaning up the litter before posting
Post the full coaster

>Gerstlauer supports

>>5619805
That's absolutely ridiculous. I assume it is unfinished?

>>5619883
Nope, they have been testing it today.

>>5619917
B-but what the actual fuck. It's not like their support structures are usually pretty and even with the other track piece supporting the track it's floating for miles.

>>5597150
It's because some fag was coming in and bumping all the retarded /v/-tier off topic threads, keeping them up as long as possible and causing actually on-topic threads to get knocked off page 10. Ever since this time limit was put in there's been a dramatic decrease in the amount of those threads. It's just really shitty that the cost was so high.

>>5620337
Couldn't they just permaban him?

>>5597150
I bet you're the "Hmm" poster. You're the worst shitposter I've seen and mods were absolutely based by killing off people like you from shitting up /vr/.

>>5620337
This anon knows what's up.

>>5620418
The what-poster?

>>5619805
Can I have that pic without the circle for my collection?

>>5619515
I will post the full coaster when I'm done decorating the surroundings.

>>5620469
>my collection
Please post some of your favourites.

>>5620485
>tfw I forgot my image

>>5620485
This one mad it into RCT3.
More tomorrow.

Posting some more wacky rides.

>>5619334
>"Arabian theme."
>Oil wells

>>5622059

>>5622070
What is the name of this abomination? I need to see it in action. Please tell me it's some kind of 4D coaster.

The toboggans are always nice.
>>5622059
This one is in RCT3 aswell.
>>5622074
The trick with those is that there are breaks on the drops.

>>5622074

>>5622276
Amazing. It's incredibly tall. And the lifthill is hauling ass. What a strange contraption.

>>5607514
Anyone ever notice how the Merry-Go-Round always ends up in that spot no matter who plays this park?

>>5594824
I legit did not know that it goes to ultra-extreme

Best way to play RCT at normal human resolutions?
Is the only way to dump the scenarios into open RCT 2?
I want to relive my leafy lake glory days.

>>5622314
There's really no reason not to use OpenRCT2 these days. Even if you don't use any of the features there's loads of bug fixes and you don't have to worry about the dreaded
>exception raised access violation

>>5622325
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMO17d8gNYI

>>5622325
I just wasn't sure how it would work with the original scenarios from 1, but now that I investigate it a bit more I see it's literally set up to use the original scenarios anyway.

>>5622304
This one is cool too.

hows your park going?

>>5622383
That one is actually cool, and not just insane. Admittedly it looks like a fucking knex coaster.

Did people end up liking Parkitect?

>>5622394
The inverse banking they put on those is wierd though.

>>5622418
Yeah, it's a worthy spiritual successor to RCT2. The only reason I don't spend all my time in Parkitect is that with OpenRCT2 being as good as it is there's really no need for a successor.

>>5622464
I've never been one on of these but it should not be too bad. It would feel better than an unbanked turn as some of the lateral forces would become vertical in relation to the coaster car.

>>5622389
>4 spiral slides
Someone call me out if I'm wrong but building several identical rides tanks park value and decreases the popularity of the individual rides.

I just built a junior coaster.

>>5619805
>>5619883
>>5619917
There's an identical "support" on Hangtime. God, I wish we could build proper Infinity Coasters in RCT.

What kind of real life coaster is the junior coaster in rct?

>>5620485
How about this stunning achievement of engineering.

>>5624025
A Zierer Tivoli, named for the first one being built at Tivoli Gardens.

>Giovanola

Is there a way to disable the ride freshness mechanic or whatever it's called? Having to rebuild the merry go round every 2 years or so because guests won't pay more than 10 cents for it has always bothered me.

>>5624148
>tfw you won't have the chance to ride Eurostar ever in your life

>>5624395
In OpenRCT2 you can disable ride ageing under the cheats menu. You will have to do it every time you restart the game however. They also added a mechanic to refurbish your rides, the crane icon in image related.

>14 days have gone
>we're falling of the board
Yeah, this is retarded.

>>5625168
Oh damn, I didn't know about that refurbish feature. I've been waiting for something like that. I've never know any real rides get so unpopular that literally no one goes on them.

Although I remember waiting in the station for more people when this bastard was on its last legs at Magic Mountain. They couldn't dispatch without a certain amount of riders, and it crawled around the last few turns.

>>5625264
>I've never know any real rides get so unpopular that literally no one goes on them
Oh it happens. Generally with rides that are really uncomfortable to ride. Drachen Fire comes to mind.

There's literally no coaster manufacturer capable of building reasonable supports. Take a look at this weird ass bent support from world renowned Bolliger & Mabillard.

>>5625168
Ah neat thanks.

so I guess this is dead again, eh

>>5622685
I don't know about that. Most of my parks have like 5 steel coasters.
Then again I never worry about ratings and stuff and most scenarios get won accidentally so it's likely I just never noticed.
