A free and open source game
freerct.blogspot*com

An HTML5 driven game
http://freerct.wordpress.com/
http://freerct.be/

I've been queuing for the no borders park for ages!

Too bad that segfault is a mute.

>>580010

It's around finals time for college students in the US. After this week hopefully people will start coming back.

I thought building 4 coasters next to each other like this might be a further boost, but it actually had no effect. The 2 coasters without the mirrored tracks have the same stats.

Damn, now I got an access violation as well. Never happened before. I was quite proud of that coaster too...

>>580256

He's lucky he doesn't live anywhere near Vegas.

>>580271

Weird, doesn't happen until I try to sync stations. Does it not like synced tracks with 2 stations maybe?

Well, anyway, here's a 9x9 woodie with dual stations. Costs 7,315.

>>580408
It always only happens for me when i have custom synch stations and try to test/open them. Even then it's still random. Sometimes everything works and sometimes it crashes. It never crashes if i test a coaster i didn't build myself.

>>580829
Doesn't that make them lose excitement?

>>580829
I actually didn't think of them myself. I saw some Anon build a small wooden coaster with them and felt like an idiot for not thinking about it myself. You can build so much more compact with them

>>581132
I'm not sure. I'll test it real quick.
Here's a pic of the roller coaster with the spiral lift hill. I'll straighten it out real quick.

By the way, if you're going to use compact wooden coasters to jew guests, don't do loops. There's no point in needlessly raising the cost of the ride just for a few points of excitement if they were going to love it anyway.

>>581198
I know this is quick and dirty and didn't remove the curved lift hill completely, but it's hard to change the style of lift hill without overhauling the design of the entire ride.

This is what it did to the ratings.

>>579984
OP ain't dead.

Thanks for making the few last threads Rvnx.
I've been pretty busy with some shit/life so I haven't been very present lately.

I just want to tell you guys that the /v/+/vg/+/vr/ scenarios have been updated:
there are now 61 in total (I joined the ones from the link some anons were suggesting).
Still haven't found enough rides and save files.

Keep the threads and love for the game alive!

>>581198
>>581235
What's up with the typeface of the ride stats?

>>581235
Woah, shit, it actually lowers it. Welp, time to jew the system!

>>581454
It's prolly cos the ride goes through itself which generally seems to increase the excitement rating.

>4x4_passaround.SV6 lands in my inbox
Tonight is a good night

>>581579
It's not launched. It just uses the fact that the lifts can pull you around corners if your train is long enough. As long as one part of the train is still on the lift, the whole train will be pulled up. Build a lift, corner, lift, corner, ect and you can climb up in a spiral.

>>582061
Micnax!

>>583006
Shuckle!

Btw, if Kadybat's around ... do you want to send vrctshitfest.SV6 to segfault? Naknak's had it for at least 2 weeks now, if not 3.

>>584002
Kadybat was one of the major roadblocks for the 4x4_passaround, that may be a problem.

Fungus Woods scenario is suffering.

Question about Friction-coasters ; Going too fast and making sharp turns on them send them flying right? If that's the case I'm just going to treat them like bobsleds.

>>584443
It's the crest of the hills that makes them fly, not the turns.

>>584381
He recently passed it to me so he should be free now.

>>584381

Yeah, but his box on that park has said "I'm sending it to naknak because Amplify hasn't made it clear they're ready." and naknak's has said "Received - it's time" for ages. I'm pretty sure it's been like that for weeks.

Uhhh, I got a ride that crashed while I was testing it, and it's stuck on "CRASHED" When I fixed the ride..

There has to be a way to force it to start again.

>>584576
Whilst closed, select the red flag again.

>>584608
Thanks.

There are certain coasters I don't feel are able to hit a 6 minimally. Jr. Coasters are one of these, along with Frictional coasters imho.

Otherwise, I'm hitting a minimal of 6 Excitement on wooden and looping coasters now, and that's because RCT General told me to bank everything.

>>585184

They're not really supposed to be that exciting I guess ... I mean, they're junior coasters, they're meant to be for kids. Would hardly make sense for them to be as exciting as a massive wooden coaster.

Bikes / Horses might be another one, but I might have to grind Alcatraz again to get it to hit 6. Still trying to improve..

>>585194

And in return, they're cheap.

>>585196
>>585194
When you explain it that way, it makes sense.
I'm just trying to figure out some way to get these to a minimal of 6, or if it's even possible without adding scenery. What I'm finding out is that JR Coasters work best at 50ft before dropping, same goes for the bikes, anything above is just a waste of momentum.

Just arrived. Somehow, this makes me more excited than it has any reasonably justification to.

>>585198
That queue for the go karts is waaaay too long. In the pop-up window, click the person on the end and find out the waiting time, Guests hate waiting more than 5 minutes and waiting longer will drop their happiness.

>>585234
I didn't know that. They just all seemed to line up for Go-Karts like it was the best shit ever.

But yeah, see when I make a basic Floorless design I can hit 7 pretty easily. I really just think the Jr's and the Friction coasters are limited to what they can get.

>>585184
You can reach 6 and higher with Junior coasters, but don't expect them to be mini coaster or happy merchant designs. 1500m+, but at least it has 4 trains.

>>585365
JFC, by that point you might as well call the coaster Hulk Hogan's Pastamania. How do you even access that thing?

>>585408
Can only build paths underground, as there is too much of a clusterfuck of tracks. That's why it's about as impractical as it gets. At least you CAN still reach the entrance/exit if you really want.

>>585426
Here it is with pathways

fuck you guys, now i'm reinstalling RCT2

>>585514

Don't you mean "Thank you guys?"

WIll this make merchants happy?

>>585620
I hope you're going to give them some sort of a D.N.A naming pun.

>>585651

I wonder why Acid's rating is higher than Nucleic's, which in turn is higher than Deoxyribo's...

>>585737
Mostly different launch speeds. The longest track starts faster than the 2nd longest and the 2nd longest is faster than the shortest. Otherwise they don't enter the screws at the same time and it looks bad.

My section for the 4x4_passaround map.

And the coaster stats.

Going to e-mail the next person on the list now!

>>585803

That skull is rather ... intriguing.

>>585863
It was honestly the only fitting thing I could find

>>585806

Nice stats btw, especially for a lay down.
(Those always seem so wrong to me, I can't imagine riding a whole coaster on your back is particularly enjoyable.)

>>585942
I tried Floorless, Flying, X Dimension and LIM Powered coasters before going for the Lay Down. They were all interesting but I kept getting the stats way too high, so I think I balanced it well.

Whats the size of single collab park square?

>>585987
25x25

>>585987
nevermind, found it. So... naknak's gone?

Why don't you guys try a collab with an extremely short time limit?

>>586027
>short time limit
how short are we talking about?

>>586035
One or two hours is usually par for the course for speedmapping, so I guess 15/30 minutes or so would be good for RCT?

>>586040
Speedmapping in what?

>>586050
In general. I know in doom they usually do it for an hour, in quake they do it for an hour or two.

how do you guys run it?

just in windows 7 compatibility mode or in a virtual machine running XP

>>586062
I was gonna say... speedmapping in games like TF2 takes much, MUCH longer.

>>586040

I could barely even build a single station in 15 minutes...

>>586063

Ran fine for me in win7, no compatibility, but to get 8cars to work I ended up setting it to XP SP2.

>>586093
>this
2-5hours should work i guess, would get a 2x2 park done in about a day and it's enough time to build a nice park i guess

okay guys i have a problem, I installed the game but did the expansions in the wrong order. so only one of them showed up, I deleted everything but when i try to reinstall it only give me the option to play, not to install the game. "playing" the game results in a crash.

anyone has an idea?

>>586040
6 hours maximum. That should be enough. We should do some planning before though, like making a time table or something so people can tell the others when to receive the file (something like 10am - 5pm, etc.)

>>586093
>>586108
You gotta remember the idea with speed mapping is usually to push out an idea you had as fast as possible, with or without detail, so it's alright if it's not the prettiest thing.

Another idea would be to just do as much as you possibly can in 30 minutes, and then pass it off to the next person, whether or not you're finished. They can try to finish anything you didn't, or they can make their own thing. At the end it'd be funny to see which rides got completed and which didn't, and how the finished ones compared to the original builder's idea.

>>586136
>playing rct
>not making it look pretty
wat

>>586171

I guess that's the problem, isn't it? I don't even enjoy scenarios that much anymore because I usually end up spending half the time on scenery and then find I lose the scenario...

I think a good idea would be giving each person one year. You have to save and send the park on the first of March of the year after you received it. Obviously, no borders/areas, so maybe your coaster's done but your station is half finished, and it's up to the next person to finish it up.

>>586171
It's a frightening concept at first, but it can be fun.

>>585806

Park received. Will aim to finish tonight (UK time) or tomorrow morning at the latest.

Am I the only one who decided to just read the manga instead of watching the anime? Looks good in any case.

Also why isn't that a flying singular coaster, that would've made a bit more sense...

>>586949
Did that long queue raise the rating by 500%?

I got some ideas for alternative collab park designs:
1x3 / 2x3 maps
not strict square maps
maps where river/small canyon divides regions
would anyone be interested in seeing examples of these?

>>587545
Yes.

Fuck me, that took ages.

>>587626
>rotated cover of universal indicator.jpg

>>587678

Definitely unintentional.

>>587191
Single-rail coasters don't have very high supports.

>>585270
Floorless and other twister coaster variants are very easy to hit 6+ excitement on. They're sort of an easy mode on some scenarios.

Half an hour into this game, haven't played in years. Thank you guys for making me remember this game (RCT3 was starting to bore the shit out of me)

>>587798
although doing full custom supports on a woodie can be fun. ah well nostalgia

>>587798
I think you forgot the exit path on your space rings dude.
>That woodie
7.5/10 would ride

>>587626
Oh boy! Waiting on my email.

>>587850
yeah... you may have a point there.

anyways will keep on building tomorrow.

I'd download this... but the warning that the files probably contain viruses makes me a bit worried...

>>587994
Yes, we're trying so hard to hack you but you saw right through our ruse.
Just ignore the warnings.

>>588007
why are they there if there aren't any truth to them?
is it just an inside joke of some sort?

>>587918

Sorry, not quite going to manage tonight. Will finish up tomorrow morning.

>>588018
>>588007
oh, and thinking about your post, it's obvious you thought I was talking about warnings from my browser or windows
no, I am not that daft
I meant the this
>Dangerous links ahead, may contain viroses.
which is probably just a /v/ inside joke of some sort or him saying that he didn't check the links for viruses
either way I'm just cautious

>>588083
I'm joking, hence the picture. I had no idea what you were talking about.

>>588107
oh... I thought the picture it's self was an insult, like you were calling me a child or something..
I think spending so much time on /mu/ when it was at it's worst has made it so I always assume I'm being insulted for no reason first, lol

>>588193
It's hard to convey sarcasm through text.

Hey, uh, vrct.tumblr.com guy? You may wanna do some proofreading...

Been working on a new scenario of late, as you can see, it's a ship.

>>589027
are those cannons?

>>589068
Cannons with cannon balls on the side.

>>589136

Are you building a theme park or an empire?

>>589165
Hopefully both.

>>589027
Scenario objective?

Are you a bad enough dude to build a theme park on the world's first city-ship?
http://qualityjunkyard.com/2009/03/22/city-at-sea-plans-for-the-worlds-largest-ship/

>>589230
to get X amount of people by end of October Year two.

The idea is that the only land you own is the ship, so you have to be really compact with your building and/or venture to the lower decks (underground).

Don't know how many people it should be yet though, either 500 or 1000 though. Also unsure as to what I can do with the sail. Would appreciate suggestions on both.

>>589136
I really like that 'Ship' Landscape you have there.

Pretty cool mate.

I chuckled.

>>589136
This is all i could come up with... using the rigging piece in the pirate themeing

>>589238
I'm sorry for deviating from the topic at hand, but do you know what nationality it'll be?

>>589473

You're not going to get far with a sail made of holes.

>>589501
Does that really matter on a boat that can't go anywhere?

>>589560

Do you want this theme park to be seaworthy or don't you?

>>589578

Seeing as it's not a real boat it doesn't even matter.

>>589473
The sails don't NEED to be unfurled, do they?

>>589604

You have no sense of adventure or whimsy.

>>589606

I suppose not.

Like just a big T ?

Perhapps this one? Like with the sails rolled up.

Right well this is what I came out with, thoughts?
I can't decide between this or something more like >>589726

>>589813
Looking at it now I can see that I really need to make the sail span the width of the ship, but I'm far to tired to be bothered with that now, haha.

>>589813
How did that ship get there anyway? It's doesn't seem logical when it's surrounded by land.

>>589726
I think I like this one better. The jolly roger one looks OK, too.

>>589889
It reversed.
The finished scenario wont have the land, I just can't be bothered with all the landscaping now.

>>589889
There is water in front of it, so that is obviously a port.
>>589813
>skull and crossbones on the sail
That just ruins it for me.

>>589889
H'yar, land lubber! Has ye never heard of the Flying Dutchman?

>>589906
Decrease the size of the map to as small as possible, fill it all with water and make it big again. Thus, your entire map is now water.

That is, if you started building on the right corner of the map.

>>589946
I started building in the worst place imaginable. I wasn't actually planning on keeping it as a scenario at first, but I ended up getting carried away, so yeah. Unfortunately that plan is a no go. (Unless I can somehow change which direction the map shirks to?)

>>589965
Nope. Have fun with that water tool.

>>589989
Oh well, at least it makes a funny noise.

>>590034
*thip*

I just spent about a half hour creating the shore of a medium sized lake. My lord, the people who do the rivers must have so much autism. I also don't like how the mountain tool only changes over the tile you clicked. It should change over the whole mountain.

>>590254
Don't forget to save often.

>>590254
>My lord, the people who do the rivers must have so much autism

>>589989
I think it works with the 8cars land tool size.

>>590254
It's easy once you get the hang of it.

Hey all, was wondering if anyone could help me out here. I'm looking for a custom path I remember seeing/using YEARS ago on a different computer, an invisible path. Basically I need it for a scenario I'm making and was wondering if any of you could point me to where I can download it / a park that utilizes it.

>>590340
It isn't the ease, or lack of it. It is the tediousness of having to go tile by tile to do it. I can't see myself trying to make nice looking water ever again.

any idea what am i doing wrong? Maybe i'm forgetting some important rule or smth?

>>590552
It's just too long. Maybe add a second station halfway but I don't know if that will fix it.

>>590552
>3 and a half minutes

Yeah, if you can either halve that or add a second station that would do the trick.

>>590563
>>590569
If that doesn't work, delete half the track and build a second coaster exactly the same.

>>590563
>>590569
>>590574

Any possible way to keep it long and less intense?

>>590583
Try less drops. 19 Drops seems incredibly excessive.

>>590552
Too many small turns after drops, and I think I see some incline turns. Try to make those drops smaller as well, because taller drops ramp up the vertical Gs.

What's the fastest speed I should enter block brakes? 30mph?

>>590721
Doesn't matter. The game doesn't calculate acceleration.

>>590729
At a certain point, the train will just go through the brakes without stopping. There is a cutoff there.

>>590743
Add brakes before it? I've never attempted to figure out the threshold for block brakes.

>>590443

Use the mountain tool, and you don't have to do it tile by tile.

>>590552

Every drop adds to the intensity. If you want a really long coaster, it needs more turns, helixes etc. and less drops.

>>590751

Ever since I had a crash which made me realise that blocks brakes don't always stop the train in the most unpleasant way, I've started adding a normal brake before every block brake unless I'm sure the train will be going quite slowly. I see no reason not to, really, I usually have a straight section before the block anyway.

Just want to point out that once again, the park I received was an absolute mess of litter, broken benches and unrepaired rides. We really need a small tutorial on zoning for people to read before starting on the coop parks.

>>591393

This is what happens when you don't tell your mechanics what to do ... and don't use block brakes.

Can rides break down during testing?

>>591596
yes

>>591597

Curses! I shall have to reconsider some things...

>>591573
Looks like your mechanic had trouble getting to the ride exit due to pathfinding if the downtime is 100%. Either your paths need adjusting or you need to assign areas to your mechanics.

Phew. I'll leave it at that. The ratings aren't amazing (for quadruple-synced coasters anyway) but the limited space was problematic.

Sending it on now.

A few tips for pathing:
-Handymen need small areas. Depending on the convolutedness of your paths and number of junctions, 3-6 of the blue squares at most.
-Give a handyman a small area (2-3 squares) around the exit of a high nausea ride.
-A single mechanics should have only 3-4 rides assigned to him. If you have the money (and in these collaborative parks, we definitely, definitely do), either give one mechanics 2 nearby rides or, if your rides are spaced out, you can hire 2-3 mechanics and tell them all to patrol all your rides.

Here are mistakes I've commonly seen:
-Hiring a bunch of handymen/mechanics and just placing them without pathing. Once the park gets big, they may never find their way back to that vomit-covered coaster exit.
-Hiring one handyman and assigning him the entire 25x25 area as a zone. Better but almost as useless. Depending on your path layout, certain areas may get absolutely filthy.
-Hiring a bunch of handymen and assigning them the entire 25x25 area as a zone. Again, better but almost as useless for the same reasons.
-Assigning one or more mechanics to the entire 25x25 area. Mechanics have no business walking in areas without rides, it just means they'll take longer to get to broken rides. If you want them assigned to more than one ride, highlight a path that links all the exits, and nothing more.

cont....

>>591706

-Hiring mechanics without zones. Having a few spare handymen running around the entire park can't hurt, but with mechanics it's a problem. Let's say mechanic A is assigned to Ride X and Ride Y, and currently inspecting Ride X. Mechanic B is free roaming and at the other end of the park. Suddenly, Ride Y breaks down. It will now call Mechanic B, since he is the only currently available mechanic allowed to access the ride. By the time Mechanic B has made his way all the way across the park (or worse, he gets stuck somewhere, bouncing back and forth along a path and never reaching the ride), Mechanic A has finished inspecting Ride X and could have fixed Ride Y 20 times over.

>>591713

Case Study 1: No zones for handymen. Path is filthy, guests are pissed off, everything is broken.

>>591719

Case Study 2: A handyman has been assigned a reasonably sized area, but due to the confusing layout of the paths on the left side, he rarely finds his way towards the top. Also, randomly, a small section of path is not patrolled, and therefore covered in vomit.

>>591631

I think it may just be that the ride's been broken for 4 years. It already was when I received the park.

>>585270
what is this scenario?

Also, some general things I've noticed:

-Half the people in these parks don't use block brakes. I'm really not sure why. They're the best thing ever and every coaster (at least ones that use trains instead of a lot of single cars) should use them to allow for more trains and, more importantly, prevent crashes.
-Some areas have no bins. Bins are important, especially if your handymen aren't on the ball.
-A couple of areas didn't even have benches! Benches are even more important, if guests can't sit they get tired, and then they leave unhappy.
-I recommend setting inspection times for rollercoasters to 10 minutes. If you have enough mechanics assigned correctly, there's really no reason why not.

>>591662
Cool! I'll pick it up tonight and work on it, it should be done by tomorrow night, hopefully. (Looking good, by the way!)

>>591753
Is my area (Rapture) fine? I'm not 100% sure I've got it covered.

It's hard to see because for some reason, see-through scenery doesn't remove abstract walls. But pretty sure it was fine, but I just redid the whole park anyway.

>>591941
Okay, how about Launch HQ since that's also one of mine and you just recently had that park too?

>>591952

Looking good.

>>591573
>inspections every 30 minutes
You deserved that.

>>592523

To be fair, if you've got trains barrelling into the station without block brakes, it's inevitably going to happen, inspections may just drag it out a bit longer.

What do you guys think about RCT 3?

>>592674

Anyone else here going autistic over support constructions? I hate these pole supports for some rollercoasters. Looks ridiculous, I always use the support constructions.
Pic related, it's my new Hyper-Twister-Coaster. Doesn't fit the theme of my park, but I don't give a fuck.
Captcha: Causing misaus

Just reinstalled this game after seeing these awesome threads.

How do I make good coasters? Every time I make a coaster it ends up being crazy intense and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I remember that banking all your turns is really important, but other than that I'm pretty lost

>>592807
Any pics of those coasters? That would help us find specific problems.

Also, be sure your not cresting hills or doing inversions too fast.

>>592807

There's quite a lot of useful links in the second OP.

>>579991

It could be a lot of things, so yeah, maybe a screenshot of one of your coasters would help.

>>592706
by the way, what scenario is that?

>>592706
looks even worse with giant wooden towers without any sides arching towards the ground. Look at some real roller coasters or even the six flags coasters that come with the RCT2 six flags scenarios

Wait, am i being retarded or does RCT2 not have the 'mountains' tool from RCT1? The one that you makes hills from you where you raise land when you press down from one tile size

>>594352

It's only in the scenario editor. You can use the 8cars trainer to access it in normal play though.

>>594378
Thanks. I suspect they removed it because idiots ended up spending thousands of rct bucks on using it wrong and adjusting acres of land

>>592706

Change it to the Brown and Green Marvel you fuck.

One of the exits to Ridnarhtim's rides didn't connect up- I tried to fix it, but it was enclosed in track and psychically impossible to fix without changing the roller, so I just deleted the path beneath the visitors and closed his ride, which rasied the park rating from 0 to 500; hope everyone is ok with this.

If you want Ridnarhtim, I can send it back to you to fix after I'm done, or we can just leave it as is? It was the purple one, if you needed to know.

Ayer's Rock.

>>594651
Tip:
Rapids work best at the bottom of a slide. The faster uou go over these, the higher the excitement.
Figure out which way the whirlpool spins the rafts and place appropriate turns. The more it spins, the higher the excitement.
Waterfalls are better than straight pieces but take up 15ft of room compared to the usual 10ft. If you're making a compact design, replace these with rapids where appropriate.

You should never have the use straight pieces at all and a lot of the excitement from river rapids comes from it's length, not it's speed.

It's the one right at the top, the slot under Shuckle is free

I think I shall take the liberty of refreshing the rides, some of them are over 20 years old now!

>>599056

Well, that seems to cause all sorts of crashes, so forget that...

>>598996
names in the list, awaiting park

Do guests who "fall into the abyss" die? Simply disappear? Do they affect park rating? Otherwise, couldn't you design your park in a way that guests get funneled towards a particular piece of underground path, and you regularly "empty them out" to make room for new guests?

>>599214

>>591573

>>599468

The thing's badly designed. It's going to crash anytime there's a station brakes failure.

>>599497
>mfw people don't use block brakes

>>599507

Don't know. It's one thing not to use block sections to increase the number of trains and prevent crashes, but at the very least put one before the station...

>>599573
Yeah, that's what I tend to do for all my rides, just like real coasters.

Though I don't really like using them mid-ride, you lose all the momentum you build up from the first hill lift.

>>599579

Put them atop hills where your coaster is slow anyway. But yeah, it would be better if they worked like "real" block brake that don't slow the train down unless they actually have to stop it completely.

>>599573
I never use block brakes if it's a single train ride. Can those still crash from station brakes failure?

>>599706
Don't think so, they just roar through the station for another go.

>>599706

No, most (closed circuit) coasters only crash if two trains hit each other. The exceptions being things like bobsleds and side-friction coasters that can fly off the tracks.

Station brakes failure means the train doesn't slow down upon entering the station, so if there's already a train standing there ... boom. Which is particularly evil because, due to the breakdown, there's no chance of the train leaving the station, it's held there just so that the next train will absolutely definitely crash into it.

>>599723
And you can't try removing the trains by starting construction, because the ride is broken down.

well, after all this effort i've put into landscaping and one ride, game crashed. really demotivating...

>>599856

Save more.

>>599856

Save early. Save often.

Sorry about the delay on autistic attention to detail edition, I'll finish it soonish. Or if I don't I'll just send it over half-done, s'all good

>>600278

I'm really confused about that one. Are you JuiceLooesner?

>>599723
On top of that, I think normal brakes throughout the ride fail to work as well.

Also posting rides for glorious ego-stroking.

I'm a big fan of Bumbly Bazaar. Best default scenario in RCT2.

I'm done with the 4x4, took a bit more than 3years tho...

Anyway, whom do i send it to?

>>601685
heres a screen

>>601695

Nice!

Just upload it to somewhere and post the link here and on the spreadsheet. I believe you are the final member of the 4x4.

>>601819
done. link in google docs thing

>>600586
Cool, do we start a new 4x4 hand around now then? Would be happy to join in a again! Had a lot of fun. If we do give it a second run, we should try harder to make it a fully functioning park that makes a profit and has a decent park rating etc.

>>600508
Not crazy enough.
>>600523
What do you do in the back of it?

>>600928
What do you guys think I can add to this park? I was putting in a vertical coaster at the top and got a 7.4 excitement before the game crashed... I know I can do better than that.

I know it's not all that crazy, I'm just going for the bare minimum here.

>>602373
I haven't gotten to the back of it yet. What do you want to see?

>>602214

I don't think there are enough people around anymore ... the other 4x4 still needs at least four more people (probably more because people were skipped). I think we should stick to 2x2 and maybe 3x3s.

I'd really like to take part in a borderless park at some point though.

>>601695

Turns out that's the first 4x4 we've managed to finish.

>>603528

Also can whoever was doing them continue doing the stitched screenshots of the parks? They're awesome!

>>603274
>I'd really like to take part in a borderless park at some point though.
The borderless park is a little slow atm due to finals that are happening, I'd imagine that's why all the parks are being a bit slow currently.

Still though, do you have any good pictures of parks or whatever you've done? Keep in mind that borderless is entirely form over function, so expect to have to put a full day's worth of effort into a single part.

If you go with a 75x75 map like we did then expect it to take about 8 to 12 parts to do, divided by the number of members you have for the project (don't go above 4), so you each get 6 to 2 turns at it, depending on how many members you get and how much space each of you ends up taking.

>>603887

I can post some of the collabs I've done. Also, I work 4-5 hours a day, 5 days a week, so I've got plenty of spare time.

>>603914

>Forgot my name

>>603925

I could probably do better if I had better scenery available too.

>>603914
>>603925
>>603929
If you feel you're ready for it, you could try organizing a second borderless park then?

You would have to settle on a theme beforehand so you can setup a park area to have all custom scenery backing up that one overarching theme, then hold tryouts to apply for it, invite only style for those willing to put the time and effort into it, who like the theme idea and who do good work.

>>603931

I have very little custom scenery, so I feel like it might be better for someone else to do it. Unless maybe there's a download available (like you did with Flux's factory park) or a good place for cs?

I wish RCT2 had overbanked curves. That's the one thing I want most that RCT3 has.

>>603946

100% agree.

That and the ghost trains.

>>603937
Honestly I don't know where to get custom scenery, we just kinda cheated for that part.

Do a quick Google search, see what you can find? I'm sure there's plenty of stuff.

>>603949
>ghost trains
Testing while under construction, right? Absolutely one of the features I actually miss having.

>>603953

Yeah, sometimes I build the track back to the station just because I'm not sure if a train will get over a hill or looks like it's going way too fast. It's usually ok but sometimes can be hard to judge...

>>603956
I edit coasters a few times after testing to tweak them, sometimes I have to redo the entire ride after a certain point.
RCT3 also lets you run incomplete tracks too, which would be a tremendous help in RCT2 even just for test purposes.

>>603950

What's your name btw? I may take a few days downloading and going through stuff, but if you want to take part when it's done, let me know.

>>603997
Amplify

I dunno if I will, because no borders is idea INTENSIVE. I'm basically already pouring every good idea I have into my part and the other member's parts, I dunno if I'll have anything left for a second one, at least until this one is over.

>>603274
>I'd really like to take part in a borderless park at some point though.

Might wanna switch places? I can't seem to get any fitting Idea into the no border park and it seems like i'm better off with the bordered ones..

>>604019
herp derp forgot to trip

>>603534
describe stitched screenshots?

>>604210

Someone was taking close up screenshots (closest zoom level) then automatically cropping and stitching them together to make a huge, close up shot of the whole park.

>>604242
I did one once. but I think I wont be able to make a new one, since ded RAM. I'll try though.

>>604242
I've done them before, but is there an easier way to do it?

Whenever I've done them, it's an hour of messing about in paint, carefully taking screenshots, pasting them in the corner, then selecting and dragging relevant portions into place as a mosaic that all looks like one thing.

>>604573

I believe there's photoshop scripts that can do the stitching for you. You'll still have to take and crop the screen shots manually though

>>604573

I had a program set up to go throught them all to crop them (to get rid of the toolbars and all that) but couldn't get the stitching to work automatically. Installing photoshop (and learning how to use it) was too much of a hassle.

>>604019

Oh, and yeah, if you want, I'd love to.

>>604829
If you're willing to put the time and effort into things, I have no problem with this either.

~Amplify

>>604843

Sounds like it's fairly slow moving anyway, so I'll take the time.

>>604889
That's just because Segfault has finals atm, before that we were doing a part per day but putting most of the day into the effort of it.

I don't suppose there's any way to open an rct save file in rct2?

>ride runs for at least a year completely fine
>suddenly crashes
Goddamnit. At least now I know to not do what I had done for the booster hill.

So umm... How about those /v/ scenarios?

>>609167
What about them?

Extreme Heights held a special place in my heart despite being a massive grind session. I never realized how much one has to go out of their way for high-intensity rides without going overkill. Pic related, this is the most recent spawn of my mind. Cable lift to 420ft in the air? Yes please.

>>609167
Plateau is my favorite, it was the first one I completed. There really needs to be more "finish these 5 rides" scenarios I think.

>>609424
>finish 5 rides
Those are the bane of my RCT1 completionist goal.

>>609424

But ... where's the lift hill?

>>609527
Giga Coasters use this awesome elevator cable thing that you can do over steep ascensions like the one in that guy's pic.

If you are near any in real life, you gotta ride one. Millenium Force at Cedar Point and Intimidator 305 at King's Dominion come to mind, but I'm sure there are others.

>>609527
Looks like the lift hill is offscreen.

>>609534

I have been on ME. I'd agree it's ... pretty good.

All I meant was that I couldn't see the lift hill on that screenshot. Though I've now noticed there's a short piece of it coming out of the ground near the top left.

>>603887

>>610225

What do you use skype for?

>>610269
....It's the no borders park, doesn't work like the other collab parks at all.

We basically spend the day discussing the active area that's being worked on and working out ways between us to improve upon said areas with effectively no 2 or 3 year limit or anything like that, only handing it off to the next person once everyone is happy that there is nothing left to add or improve to the current are,.

It's a true collab, rather than just building on your own for a bit before handing it off to the next person.

>Feel free to put your data into my slot
L-lewd!

Just thinking allowed here, but it might be fun if the creator of the next thread picks out a decent, fun and balanced custom scenario or otherwise to act as the 'thread's scenario'. The reason I thought it might be fun is pretty much two fold; firstly, it's always fun to compare finished scenarios with other anons and secondly it gives map builders a bit of motivation to make some enjoyable maps. It also leads to good discussion about how to best utilize maps.

>>615928
Dead wrong.

A Twist adds $7000 to the park value. It does not however, cost $7000 to build.

>>615610
i made it with many themes
Ice, Cave/Jungle, Western, Classical, Mine, Castle, Egyptian, City and French
just using the basic stuff

>>615981

I get park value, I meant I'm not sure where company value comes from.

>>616015
Park value + cash less loan. The reason the company value is $40k more than the park value means the last ride built must have been a rollercoaster. The value of a rollercoaster is directly dependent on it's excitement rating.

>>616040

Gotcha, didn't think of that. So the park value upon finishing must've been around 189,000 (assuming no loan)

It's surprisingly hard to get intensity between 9 and 10.

Latest on the no borders park.

>>619281
And here's my proof.

>>619361

Yeah, I have a few below 8s and a few above 10s, and they're still popular. The aim is always 9, though.

I can't believe we actually ran with collab parks with that kind of guest preference for a while.

I have a little question about the colab parks,
do you need the expansion packs? The download doesn't work for me.

>>623040
yes i believe so
they are 2 different links not one, a common mistake anons make

>>619336
No borders park, segfault has almost done with his part and I think he's done a great job.

A few small details are left to be added, but otherwise control will likely pass over to Ridnarhtim.

I never did get the widowed mode hack working, can someone walk me though out?

>>623906
Supportless version.

If anybody is interested, it looks like somebody has started up a second borderless park, though possibly with too many player slots to make it work properly.

If anybody wants to have a go at one, there you go I guess.

This scenario is nuts.

>>624743
