This needs adding to the OP: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zzim00svqdg3uvx

They're /v/ scenarios from back in the day

>>531223
Pretty sure I actually hit a limit for litter because I tried to add a path with more of it and every time someone puked on the path, it wouldn't appear.

If the guy who did the extensive research is still here, would things like this be good for go-karts?

>>531241

I'd normally just close the park and get rid of everything, (especially since I start with 9k) but I'm going to see what I can do leaving everything as is and going from there.

Is there a "can't delete existing rides" option or something like that? That might make for interesting scenarios.

>>531298

Fucking hell ... I replaced some of the benches and literally five seconds later they're broken again.

>>531310
I considered adding the "can't demolish rides" option but felt like that would just mkae the scenario a hassle.
>mfw the benches

>>531319

I think the problem is that if you just get rid of everyone and everything, it's kind of just a leafy-lake like scenario except you start with a load of money. It might be worth adding something to set it apart a bit more.

I'd forgotten how much I love this guy.

>>531330
Yeah, it is a bit of a Leafy Lake/Ivory Towers hybrid.

>>532015
An awesome game, I'll agree.

protip: Play the Euro version. Advisor is Scottish.

>>532083

That is indeed the one I'm playing. Is he not in the American version? How pointless.

>>532148
He's in the American version, but...he's American.

I loved playing that game on the PS1. My most fond memory of it was getting to like... the 6th island or something and not being able to save, so I begged to stay up playing it... and then a golden ticket came up on my screen.

I cried all night. All dat progress lost.

>>532723

Wow, so many voice samples I've never heard before. There must be hundreds!

>>532723
I still have it on PS1. I occasionally play it on emulators. Still loving it.

>>532732
There are multiple videos of the voices, go and check them all out, they're hilarious.

Oh wow. So many unused samples.

>>532723
Lewis MacLeod is a brilliant actor and VA.

If you've ever seen Look Around You, he's plays the BBC Scotland presenter in the Sports episode of Series 2.

"There are some areas of the park that aren't being patrolled by an entertainer."
"You're SO close to getting a golden ticket."

I need to brush up. I haven't played in 4ish years or so.

any special hints for a vertical coaster? i'm not done yet but it's looking like it'll be too intense for most people to enjoy. i have a bunch of pretty big vertical rises after the first drop, but the train's barely losing any momentum. i think one problem is the g-forces at the bottom are too much. should i just make it smaller?

>>534161
Shorter initial hill, helices to burn off momentum.

>>534071
You could build on of his go karts and one of yours in sandbox and test them to see which makes more weekly profit.

Does anyone have any good landscape saves to create custom scenarios on instead of just the whole scenario?

There are so many awesome landscapes, both official and user made, that I would love to use, but not within the scenarios offered.

For example, I really like the Termina and Mountain Ranges landscapes in the custom scenarios, but they don't offer the rides/shops/scenery that I would like to use. I was well into the Mountain Ranges scenario building up my park when I realized that the scenery themes I really wanted to use weren't available in that scenario, and it took the wind out of my sails to continue playing.

It's been so difficult to find a scenario that offers everything I want in land and buildable options, and its really frustrating, especially when many have lots of what I'm looking for but are missing just a few things. It sucks. It's looking more like I'm going to just have to bite the bullet and create my own landscape from scratch just so I can custom tailor the options to my wants.

So does anyone have any landscape only saves, or scenario in progress saves that they could share so I could use a pimpin landscape but still create my own scenario for it?

>>534694
>in the scenario maker
>load landscapes
>make your way to the scenarios folder
>load the scenario you want
>change rides

>>534931

is there anyway to change the rides and stuff that are available for research in a scenario as well?

Thanks for the response either way

>>535316
Don't do that. Then you're just fucking with the objective and going easy mode.

>>535316
Just keep the same objective on the same landscape, but change the available rides, etc.

Why do we move on to a new thread when the old one is neither at bump or image limit?

>>536145
No clue.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give to you the maiden voyage of the SS Seasick. Closest I could find to puke green in the game's colors.

How is RCT3 for pure coaster building, disregarding the tycoon gameplay?

>>536349
It has a few more elements like overbanked turns.

Well, this was pretty damn easy.

As it was mentioned in the previous RCT threads, if you're going to make a scenario, don't make something tedious like an objective to complete in 4 or 5 years because it's just too long.

Wooo, finished the first tile of my park! I didn't think that keeping the classic/roman style all the time was so difficult. Work on the second tile will start later today, RL and shit.
Is there a way to change the available scenery of a savegame? I figured out I checked the wrong one when I made the scenario for my park ;_;

Man, I do love me some Water Style.

Always makes me think of Zelda's water temple...

>>537512

It just lacks variety, as do most RCT2 vanilla themes. Something like the pagodas, factory, roman ... they work fine for one ride, but for a whole area, one type of wall, one roof, and a couple of scenery items just aren't enough

>>537913

And of course, once you get to the expansion theme sets, you can't even fit two in before you're maxed out.

>>536145
Stems from the original OP who would make a thread at around 400 posts just so it wouldn't be dead by the morning.

Yeah, I don't get it either.

Are we still waiting for Naknak on vrctshitfest.SV6? I'm sure he's had it for over a week, might be worth sending it on to segfault instead.

Hey Anon, mind sharing those quadruple Splash Boat designs? They look kinda cool.

>>538071
Whoops, meant to reply to
>>536625

This is 4 stations only and not actually 6, right? Or can you build more than 4 Entrance/exits per ride?

>>537916
Your scenario is fun once you get rid of the vandalism.

>>538071
I'm assuming that's the same guy who wouldn't share those go karts designs of his.

He probably won't.

>>538089
Oh wait meant to quote >>531241

>>538089
w/o supports

>>538087

Looks like it's 4 rides, the same ride twice and then the mirrored ride twice.

>>538089
>Dat name
What you did there, I see it. And I like the compactness!

>>538085
You're probably right. If I get back into the mood, I'll make a scenario with my best designs already in it and upload it. Some of my best ones are already in the "In The Red" scenario in >>531214


>>538087
4 stations is the maximum you can build. I designed it to be flipped and synced with itself for maximum excitement meaning more dosh per rider. Pic is an earlier design which was scrapped.

>>538140
>12 excitement
>This design wasn't even as good so I scrapped it
You'd best be sharing the "good" version at some point, that'd be too good to not share.

>>531241
The sprite limit on RCT2 is 8000. Meaning, 7000 guests, 500 vomit tiles 499 flying balloons and 1 duck. It's why attracting guests is so hard once you hit 6000. Your park needs to be spotless.

For RCT1, the sprite limit was 5000.

>>538140
>Extreme excitement
>Very high intensity
How the hell did you do that?!

>>538201
The splash carts are heavier when they're full of people, so you have a max drop and immediately into a hill. Usually, you hit the lift speed of 3mph about 15ft lower then the previous drop. Keep it going at this speed through the whole course and you have a quick way to rack up excitement.

You need 4 stations because it's 4 separate rides on the same track. Charging $20 for a 13 excitement ride is fucking awesome when it's only 2 minutes long.

I'm guessing noone here has even attempted Vidya Valley yet?

>>538216
>I'm guessing noone here has even attempted Vidya Valley yet?
Nobody is that silly. We're all doing the multiplayer collab parks, that's the hot topic for the last 2 weeks.

>>538225
>Anonymous
I only found these threads yesterday. How's it work?

>>538225
>We're all sitting around waiting for the multiplayer collab parks

ftfy

>>537994
>>538234
If segfault finishes his first part of the no borders park and naknak hasn't done it by then, by all means skip the guy.

>>538238
For the 2x2, 3x3 and 4x4 parks:
You go into the spreadsheet (linked in the OP), put your name down in a free spot and then wait forever for the few SWASHBUCKLERs to get on with their part.
When it's your turn, pick an empty plot, build your park in the 25x25 space however you like and make something cool, then you send it to the next guy in the list:

For the no borders version:
Several people get together over Skype (2 to 4), agree on a central theme for the park and make a 75x75 plot with lots of custom scenery for that theme available.
Then, they just take it in turns adding little bits to the park with that theme with an overwhelming priority on scenery and looking good, while bouncing ideas off each other to make the result even better, the final result of which should look roughly like a single park with coasters going through different buildings all over the place and all looking very beautiful.

>>538252
Sounds interesting

>>538269
If you want to check out what it's like before signing up, click the "finished parks" tab at the bottom of the spreadsheet. It'll give you all the completed parks, who was involved in the making of them and a link to the finished savegame.

>>538216
>I'm guessing noone here has even attempted Vidya Valley yet?
We like to have fun here, sir.

>>538307
>>538225

Okay, okay, I'll go for it.

>>538216
My lift speed for those is 0 when full of people. It's horribly slow and makes it impossible to build one with a good length

>>538458
You have to make it like a rollercoaster with a single lift hill at the start and let the momentum carry it back to the station with as many hills as possible without slowing it down too much.

>>538216
>I'm guessing noone here has even attempted Vidya Valley yet?
If I would like to but I can't into economy. Just playing it for the creativity, sorry, bro.

Great, so i tried building one of those high excitement, 4 station boats and i managed to build a not synchronized one with 9+. I can't build it anywhere else now though, because the game for some reason thinks it's too high for it's support. It was build on completely flat ground, never went underground and isn't even 20m high at it's highest point.

>>538539
Maybe some scenery got mixed in or where you're trying to place it. Some trees in the expansions have to be deleted manually which is a major pain sometimes.

>>538571
That was build in the Sandbox Park, which has no scenery. I always try completely new designs in parks without money.

Wow, creating a scenario is going a lot slower than I thought it would. Might take me a couple of weeks to get through this one.

generals in /vg/ please

>>538952
/vg/ is bullshit.

>>538952

We're happy keeping our retro game in /vr/.

>>538952

No one said we can't have generals here. I don't even participate in this, but I'm fine with it existing

>>538952
Fuck off.

>>538467
Would this be considered kind of an exploit? Clearly, splashboat rides cannot roll back up a lift hill at high speed without seriously injuring the passengers with the vibrations.

>>538945
Yeah, it's really a painfully slow process.

>>538952
>general
>ctrl+f "general"
>first result is your post.
Do you have a point in there somewhere?

Any tips on keeping rollercoaster compact? Often i find i have trouble finishing a coasters track and it just messes up the fluidity of it all.

>>539000
The game isn't always that realistic. Your Giga Coaster can crash into the the station with with 140kmh, stop in less than a second and people will like it.

>>539173
Imagine a "core" above the station and try to build around it

Who the fuck has the 4x4_passaround.SV6 park, because it's taking WAY too long to get done.

>>539218

It's started moving a bit recently.

>>539230
That's good news then

>>539173
Before you actually start building, imagaine the exact sive of the coaster and try sticking to it. Doing so makes the process of building take ages, but it's totally worth it.

>>539356
Forgot pic.

Would like some ideas on what I could work into upper left hand part of Trinity Islands that isn't a Photo Loop.

>>539361
Size. Goddamnit.

Does anyone know how to change the available scenery in a savegame? I realised, I checked the wrong scenery when creating the scenario ;_;

>>539690
>Nicely themed and scenery'd up wooden wild mouse coaster
Very nice.
Stats?

>>539690

Ratings?

>>539785
>>539787
7.66 (High) / 8.85 (Very High) / 5.10 (Medium)

This is the first time I built this kind of rollercoaster without massive lateral G forces. I somehow being to like the challenge of building compact.

>>539173
You could make a little square and try to squeeze the coaster in it. I tried it with 10x10 squares and steel coasters here.

>>539173

Play Final Destination. You'll learn, or you'll fail spectacularly.

>>539881
Where's the lift hill?

>>539881
Looping Coasters i mean. It think it was steel in RCT 1

>>539897
I made those with launch.

>>539375

I wouldn love to know this too. Converting to a scenario doesn't work

>>540167
>>539375
Load a savegame into the Scenario Editor. You'll lose all the rides but it's the only way I think.

Sandy Boxes is fun.

I have returned for the better part of 5 minutes.

While trying to clear scenarios without my computer shutting down on me (shit-tier laptop reporting in. Anybody know how I can stop it from overheating and shutting off mid-game?), I dug up some old saves from ages ago. This one in particular is an Octagon Park where I attempted to win with hax in an attempt to create a park that favored aesthetics and not functionality.

Here's Genesis, a wooden coaster with Looping coaster trains.

>>540271
Here's part 1 of another ride, Bone Crusher. The ride is just an inverted coaster, but I used stand-up coaster track to form a "rib cage" around the station.

>>540283
And here's part 2.

>>539881
Here's a better one in a little square. Has higher excitement than those huge Giga-Coasters, (like Goliath) right now, though that may be because part of it had to be build a bit underground. Otherwise the design wouldn't allow me to build a way to the entrance and exit. The game actually defaults this one to 9(!) trains, though more than 3-4 will just cause massive crashes.

>>540509

Uhm, wow. Giga coasters are not the type I would immediately associate with tiny footprints.

>>540283
>>540286
>Those ribs
That's clever.

All the girls say i have a small woody

>>540738
It's small, doesn't last very long and isn't the most exciting

>>540738
>not making the track brown and the train white

>>540732
I had to go through some zero clearance bullshit to get them to connect at their bases under the station. All in all though I'm pretty proud of it. I could probably do one that didn't require hacks if I made dueling coasters come out of it.

You know what would be great everyone? If FreeRCT got started up and it supported mulitplayer so that we can quit waiting for collab parks.

Apparently, it's not very exciting.

>>541570
>Ride time 30secs

>>541653

Max speed of 86km/h and a distance of 418m are pretty impressive, though.

>>541570
>not making it a wooden roller coaster

>>541665

I wanted it to be launched, and wooden coasters have too dense supports anyway, I don't think it would look that good unless I built a path underneath to get rid of the supports.

This ride needs some scenery.

>>541841

Made a new compact ride. Running out of names, though...
Brb, it's like 2 am over here.

So how do you make trains/boats/whatever leave only a half/quarter full? I used to know how to do it and the wait for box doesn't seem to do anything.

>>542297

>>541946
>those banners
lel

>>542297
The box for that only handles the minimum load a train will have before leaving. If enough people are queued, they'll fill up the ride even if you have that set to less than full.

>>542351

that's lame. My river ride sucks because the boats go up the lifts so slowly when they're filled.

>>542424
Which means they fall faster. It evens itself out.

>>542297
I have the opposite problem with river rapids. No one goes on those fuckers. I'll have quarter loads every time on them.

>>542432

Except when the lift hill is massive with one big drop at the end

So beyond making a Car Ride Mr. Bones length, is there anyway to get the excitement on it up?

>>544290
Car rides are tricky. Try scenery.

>>544330
Added some and the excitement stayed the same. Though people think $1.50 is a really good value.

>>544353
Maybe you need to add more track, then.

>>544290

All the usuals - scenery, a short tunnel, I guess more ups and downs etc.

This fucking guy

>>546193

I like that they watch construction/rides going around. Adds a lot of character, somehow.

>>546193
When they're watching a ride being built, they're more likely to go on said ride when it's complete.

>>546780
Never knew that about RCT2.

Surprised I was able to fit two decent coasters on/around a single island. I find this Trinity Island harder than some parks that come after it.

your video memory was exhausted or

Every time in those little parks...

>>549904
Anyone can get that high, the trick is to maintain it.

>>549904
What to do when that happens:

Pay off loan.
Max out park rating.
Organize your park for better aesthetics/efficiency. (Demolish and move rides, better paths)
Get autistic with scenery.
Bankrupt yourself on one super coaster

>>551121
Can I do all 5 at once?

guh

>>551274
7.35gs

that means the initial drop is still too much, i assume? i toned it down but it's still too much. i just can't bleed any momentum off this bitch,

>>551274
Are... are you trying to make a bad coaster?

>>551274
>Roller Coaster 9

>>551274
>>551302
Vertical coasters are very easy to fuck up. Think simpler.

>>551274
Don't use steep or vertical drops if you don't know how to use them

>>551302
>180ft drop
Yeah, that might be the problem.

>>551302
>>551274
Start small. Try to build a coaster that doesn't have that much speed and height, you really don't need it all unless you know what to do with it.

>>551274
Also, avoid using steep to level one-piece transfers. That shit will fuck you up. Here's what your vertical coaster hills should look like. Smooth drops, curves at the top. Work your way up in size once you get the hang of it. A good vertical coaster should have an intensity of 6-8, and an excitement rating of 6.5+

>>551350
>Also, avoid using steep to level one-piece transfers
yeah that seems like a real problem, definitely something i'll think about. i'm not completely inept at this shit guys, i'm just totally not familiar with verts at all. what's the largest drop in terms of feet/game tiles i want to make, in general?

>>551405
Try putting the station on the top of the hill and have only one or two steep pieces for your chain lift, should be a lot more manageable.

>>551432
By "top of the hill" I mean that big sand dune in the screenshot.

that hill's really not that big and there's no path access though. plus i think it would use the terrain less that way. what's the largest the first drop should be? i think i'll try and keep it somewhat the same but make some big changes

Here's a small case study comparing the excitement levels of scenery affecting rides, using my Ferarri coaster from my /vr/ contributed map.

The top is the coaster in the park itself complete with scenery, underground segment and proximity to other rides. The excitement is up in the Very High area and yet only has a Medium Intensity and Nausea rating.

Now take the scenery, underground segment and other rides, and it completely drops an entire point. Also to note that the stats are also different too, such as the max and average speeds, Pos Vert, Neg Vert and Lat g-forces have decreased for some reason, along with the ride time.

I understand the Excitement/Intensity/Nausea ratings changing, but the other ones? I have no clue. Just an interesting insight.

>>553225

I'm guessing the lack of people in the cars gives the varying speeds and G's

>>553225
I have build a couple of coasters who are at the bare minimum of speed needed to clear a loop when they reach it. Most of them work fine all the time, but some had to be scrapped because sometimes the train just couldn't make it, even though nothing had changed. You test it for 20 runs, 19 of them work and suddenly it fails to make the loop.

It seems there can always be some slight difference in speed.

>>553334

Yeah, people affect the weight of the cars and empty cars have less momentum. THhe actual simulation part of RCT has a surprising amount of depth.

>>553637
>THhe actual simulation part of RCT has a surprising amount of depth.

Yes, because going out of a banked curve at 80mph totally gives you only 2.6 lateral Gs

There really needs to be a time limit on these colab parks. If you don't plan on doing it, don't sign up people

>>554501

The 4x4 is probably never going to be finished because of this

>>554501
>>554623
Perhaps we should start enforcing the time limit a little more strictly?
Keep a record of when somebody got the map to work on it, if it goes 3 days with no word from them, then just remove their name and pass it to the next guy.

Can you research Cash Machines in the Thunder Rock Scenario for RCT 2 or did they not add them?

>>552770
I do believe that the game takes banked transitions into consideration. It does have an impact on coaster aesthetics too. I whipped this up in paint to demonstrate the point.

>>556784

>>556797
It doesn't seem to matter for lateral jerk.

>>556973
Yep, the only difference is 0.01 point in intensity and nausea. Still, I suppose it would add up on a really long coaster. It's mostly aesthetics.

>>557580
Seems like something that would fit in the Canadian north.

>>558061
that's what i'm aiming for... i guess.
Imagine something like this:
rocky northern coast, pine forests(snowy at top, not snowy at lower parts), mine themed scenery, loads of wooden coasters and rides, especially mine train coaster, wooden roller coaster, train (the transport one)... oh and the wooden bathroom

I got bored so i made my own 3x3
sorry bout the res

>tfw too shitty to make own rides and rely on prebuilt ones.

anyone else like to make coasters based off sketches of real ones?
>pic related
working on this one now

I'm playing the Alcatraz scenario, and I'm mind fucking myself because I'm not used to having infinite money.

or tons of water, and no place to spam trees. D:

>>556973

Ok, but you've also already got 2.24 lateral Gs on the "smooth" coaster. Say you built a coaster with max lat of 1.9G, and then a bad banking transition takes that up to the 2.26 of the white coaster ...

>>559976

I saw this pic in First Drop and instantly knew I would have to use it as inspiration for my next collab.

>>560379
>>559976
I used to have a book of roller coaster pictures/drawings and for a while it influenced what I made in RCT, but I haven't seen that book in years.

>>560385
if you ever find that anon
[spoilers]please share[/spoilers]

All right, we need to either Email everyone who currently has any of the collab parks and kick them in the balls, or Email the guys before them in line, get the park from them and skip the people holding us up.

Either that or the slow death of the collab parks happens.

Is it just me that thinks giga coaster are kind of broken? Its seems like they're programed to be way easier to get low intensities on.
Also I agree there should be a 4 days or it skips you rule on colab parks

>>560379
fuck i love that
anyone got any others?

Ok, I'm confused. I sent Miggy to Jimikillz a week ago, but now he's disappeared off the list and hemicentetes is after me instead.

I made a new scenario if anyone still visits these threads. I've just finished playing it through myself and it's a tricky one. Make sure you get the cash machine quickly because it's essential to beating the map.

That reminds me; if that one guy who did vidya park reads this, please post the design for your splashboats. I want to be able to analyze it piece by piece to see what you did to make it.

>tfw ded thread

>>562017
is it the time for a new one?

>>562109
We ususally open a new one at around 470 replies. We're at 231 now.

uhm... how do u suggest we fill the remaining 238 post spots?

>>562129
More RCT

>>561984
Go nuts.

Actually, the one in that scenario I just posted was another failed design I wasted 8 hours making. I figure since I spent so long on it, I'll make it into a scenario and let other people play around with it.

>>562220
I cannot deconstruct a picture.
Mediafire or dropbox, please.

>>562237
Maybe if you try really hard you can make a better one.

>>562296
Yeah, no.

>>562139
bump

>>562296
...didn't your mother ever teach you about sharing?

I really should get around to uploading some of the scenarios I've made.

>>539356
Ah, I did that last night and decided to make each island themed. I had Pirate, Asia and Dino.

>>562017
>>562109

For whatever reason these threads slow down a lot on the weekends. I guess people have lives or something.

>>562791
>people here have lives
I disbelieve.

>>561059
Not a clue what happened. I guess send it to him instead.

>>562638

Since we're doing this, here's mine.

Also, I have just accidentally discovered that ctrl+s inserts spoiler tags.

>>562929
you damn kids and your RCT2 shenanigans
back in my day we built generic parks on trinity islands and didnt even use scam karts to do it!

>>562992

>>563001
One thing I think RCT2 did worse was the UI.

>>562992

Hey, no scam karts. It's a long and beautiful track.

>>562929

Coaster stats.

>>563047
>floorless coaster
beautiful. I wish you could have steel twister variants in the RCT1 original parks, but I suppose that would be easy mode.

>>563047
>1.82 excitement

>>563069

I'm not vey good at suspended coasters, and I really wanted one that twists around the island like that, so I went for form over function.

A scenario I'm working on at the moment. Look familiar?

>>563486
Ocarina of Time, eh?

>>563486
Best Miniboss

>>563486
It would look more like the original if the water and ground were level with eachother, but it might not actually look good in rct I guess

>>563497

More of a general water temple theme, but I figured it needed a recogniseable room.

>>563560

Yeah, I tried that, but I hate the way level ground and water look in general.

I like making images for the threads so here's an idea for Thread 19.
If something looks off let me know.

>>563579

Are some of those custom objects? I don't remember them in RCT2 + expansions.

>>563652

Fucking Brilliant

>>563679

Most of that is from Wacky Worlds, I think.

>>563682
42people sick of queuing isn't that much. now 482 might looks impressive hah

>>563679
Looks like the South American object set. Not sure, there's about 5,000 scenery objects and you can only have like 255 in one category.

Damn, I'm running out of inspiration faster than I thought I would. Frustrating lack of good walls, too.

>>564243

Forgot pic.

Is there another place to get the Maps from RCT1 for RCT2? The link in the sticky doesn't work.

>>564252

>>564703

>Dem unbanked turns

Lego Roller Coaster looks too intense for me.

>>564582
the burstintotreats link has them too

>>564243
>>564252
Maybe make a scenario with areas based on all of OoT?

>>564734

Maybe, but I think that might be too hard due to scenery limitations. I've already hit the cap on mine...

I always though Knex was the best for building coasters, there's some nice ones on youtube from the Screamin Serpent set. (I had one of those as a kid)

>>564935
>k'nex
The last time I used or even looked at k'nex, this was the latest thing.
Man that was a long time ago now.

>>565000
>Get K'nex pinball table for Christmas
>Have parents do everything
>Play around with it multiple times
>Suddenly we have to move
>Parts get lost
>Never played it again
Those feels

Good thing you can't lose parts to video games... r-right?

>>565118
My NES controllers are still missing.

>>565118
Lego trains are what I'm into nowadays though. Good times, though I've never got the money to buy the parts and scenery I want.

>>565000
Boy, how things have changed. I wonder how many sets went into this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9z_AK_4YYUw
I had one set, it had the chain lift, curved first hill, loop, small hill and then curve back to station. I fucking loved that thing.

Fuck me, Bumbly Bazaar's research section on the RCT wiki isn't complete. Can anyone tell me if I get giga coasters? I have a few huge hyper-twisters but I want to build something even bigger.

>>565478
Just got the floorless coaster (Scenario is already done, now I'm just building huge coasters). Might as well build one of these.

How do you "install" the RCT1 parks? I cant get them to show up in game.

i picked this up in some old rct thread it must have been like 3 i dont know if the guy ever actually posted the track

>>565690
From what I can remember, the guy didn't post the scenario.

For the sake of it, is it even possible to make an entire rollercoaster underground in RCT2?

I want to make use of the song name 'Going Underground'

>>566059

Yes, but you'll have to raise the ground a ton. It's a challenge, but it's definitely possible.

>>565682
Download them and extract the files to your "Scenarios" folder.

>>564734
Kakariko village scenario would be pretty neat. But making the giant Deku tree...how would you do that.

>>566163
I guess you could raise the land to make the trunk, use scenery for the face, and finish up a selection of trees on top or something?

One question: how come RCT2 is allowed in /vr/ if it was released in 2002?

>>566302
shhhh...

>>566163
Really tall and compact wood coaster?

Alright, so Bumbly Bazaar DOES get giga coasters. Awesome. This may be the best default scenario for gigantic, huge fucking roller coasters.

>>566127

I did that. First thing I tried.

Very early days yet, but I wounder if anyone can figure out what this scenario hopes to be?

>>567842
It is clearly Site B.

>>567842
ocarina

>>567947
Korki Village specifically. And >>567929 was a joke.

>>567842
Just an FYI, there shouldn't be that much of a change in the cliff on the right.

>>568004
>right
Fuck, meant left.

Can we get some screenshot updates on the collab parks?

>>568008
Yeah, I didn't really plan a lot of it before hand and as such a lot of shit, namely the height of stuff, is way off and quite inconstant.

I'll probably start the whole thing over again when I'm less tired, but I think which ever way I do it, it'll always look odd because obviously the RCT folk are incredibly small compared to a path, where as link is fairly large compared to one.

Maybe I should make the city from Minish Cap? Haha.

>be gone all weekend
>question from screenshot gets ignored
;_;

Asking again, why has my laptop begun to overheat and shut down randomly while playing this, even with nothing else going on in the background? It's only a few years old, and even last year I was able to play this game with a few different things open in the background without incident.

>>568190
what OS

>>568207
Windows 7.

>>568231
CTRL+SHIFT+ESC
Startup RCT
Once park is loaded, etc, ALT+TAB to Task Manager, right-click RCT, 'Go To Process' at the bottom.
Click on Memory(Private Working Set) or CPU until it has a ↓ arrow.

Is it using up a shit ton of CPU? Anything else using up a shit ton of CPU? Usually a shutdown means the CPU is overheating and is intended for self-preservation. Link related.

>>568308
Firing up scenario editor, it's using 62k. The only two things more than that are explorer.exe at 67k and currently Firefox at 250k, but Firefox is usually never open with RCT2.

>>568370
Nevermind, firing up an actual park caused it to jump to +92k and continued to rise.

>>568386
How big are these parks of yours?

>>568386
Okay, not out of the ordinary, but not sure what yours can handle exactly either.

Install Speedfan.
http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php
Read the warning when you run the instsf449.exe- playing in this exe can fuck up your system, treat it like a power saw.

Run it, allow admin access, look at the fan speeds and temps. Any fires? Screenshot of SF + TM while RCT2 is running would be best.

>>568608
This one is the culprit for the particular CPU usage at 92k

>>568619
Will do, then report back after finding results.

>>568619
>inb4 everyone starts critiquing my park instead
But seriously, don't fucking touch anything in this program, it's not a toy.

>>568647
>tfw fires everywhere

>>568619
>not naming your junior coaster

>>568675
Laptops have pretty much always had cooling issues. 50C is about 122 Fahrenheit. 76C is about 170F.

Gonna be able to boil water on that mother soon. Your CPU's melting brah- generally don't want it much above 40-50 if you can avoid it, and extended use is gonna start causing some damage.

Close RCT2, give it about 5 minutes to cool off, check temps again.

>>568703
This is idling with the internet open.

>>568647
>Program that modifies how your fan runs
Oh lord jesus, imagine if your parents got a hold of that and just clicked everything.

>>568716
Cooling down now, at least, so that's good. Still higher than optimal, but it should keep going down. Explains why you've been shutting down, your laptop's trying to save itself. I'd suggest a ventilation stand or something if you're going to be using it for long periods, or at least get it off your lap.
>that heat on the sperm tanks

>>568717
I put it on my inlaws to check a burnt out fan once, and uninstalled it every time I got up from the chair.

Trust is lacking.

>>568742
That's the sad thing, it sits on my desk and not lap. My solid wood desk. I have one of those laptop fans I've never used, would it be a good time to plug it in?

>>568754
Now would be the best of times.

>>568754
With those temps, it probably couldn't hurt.

>>568762
Seems like I better invest in one of those multi-USB plugs as well. 3 ports never seems to be enough. Will post pics of temp after the fan runs for a little bit.

>>568774
>someone on 4chan made a filename about me

>>568762
The fan seems to be working, though why does Firefox's CPU usage increase the longer it's open? Do all internet browsers do that?

>>568812
Also, those numbers seem to be fluctuating, but decreasing to ~50 for the most part.

>>568774
>filename

>>568812
Likely due to addons.

>>566059

It's really easy. You don't even need to start above ground and build down like in RCT, you just hold shift and drag down, and start building underground.

All you need is a way up for the paths.

>>568812
Disable Aero, post results

WIP

>>570485
That'll do I guess. What's the coaster underneath look like?

>>570704

I'm kind of limited by the scenery available in the co-op park.

Here's the coaster, I've uploaded it in case anyone is looking for a small footprint woodie.

>>570831

Without suports, though I'm not sure if that helps much.

Okay, who's selling the pimp hats? Keep them out of my peaceful village dammit.

Oh, now, come on, who's been slacking on their ride security?

Not too sure what's happened here, but the karts are just stopped. The ride isn't broken down, but the karts are just standing still and have been for god knows how long. Never seen that happen.

>>571085
It happens with the 1920's cars sometimes when they collide into each other and get stuck at corners. Just stick to the regular go-karts.

finally done with the landscaping!
>forbid tree removal

>>571242
forgot pic

>>571242
>forbid tree removal

And so it became the most annoying scenario ever made.

>>571247
>Almost every single free spot taken up by trees
>No tree removal
Well fuck that.

>>571085
To fix it just close the ride and go to the construction thing. You don't need to delete anything and you can open it up again as soon as you've done that.

>>571438

You can also just select the red flag again when the ride is already closed, and it'll have the same effect.

>>571085

I knew I should've gone with normal karts

Morning all.

Thanks to /vr/ct's tech support last night I was able to power through this without any hiccups. I give you my completed Crazy Castle. I tried to keep everything within the walls of the castle and - with the exception of the Virginia Reel going into the back part - was successful in doing so.

I call it 'The big O'

>>571538
all my money for this in real life

I love some of these scenarios. This OVERLY AMERICAN one really.

I wish they had made a horse jockey roller coaster that was like the bikes / jousting ones for this map. It's really tempting to make Steel Ball Run on here.

>>571553

>>571571

I do hope there's an elevator up to the station.

There are no elevators in hell.
