server when

>>8883223
as soon as we pick a map baybee

If you haven't been lurking forever, here are the server details:
97.69.221.186:11753
Version: Latest Stable

How this works is that every weekend, I host up a map, and we play until Monday, or until the map is full. Then we switch to a new map. New /vr/ct maps take priority, so post what you make in the thread and we can give it a whirl.

This weekend we're starting with Elwynn Forest.

>>8883584
didn't we already do Elwynn Forest? i'm getting some deja vu

>>8883593
It's similar to Loch Modan, which we did recently.

It's like going back to 1920 here. I really like the old-fashioned wooden designs.

>>8883778
Castle needs touching up, otherwise me gusta.

>>8883789
I ran out of money, I'll do it later
maybe

>>8884271
It's the thought that counts

>>8884271

>>8883223
next to the restroom in the center

>>8883584
Haven't played recently, but will jump into this.

Something broke with the Lost Woods ride and guests couldn't enter the line, so I closed it. Sorry about that.

>>8883789
don't forget that in openrct2 you can now use the rct1 terrain edges for even better looking castles now

>>8884861
I'd love to see some Good Knight Parks that look good. Mine looked like shit last time I played it.

>>8885045
is that a problem or nah. like there's more or less zero reason to use them outside of queue areas

>>8885049
no it's not that
it's that he's stuck in a small little area of the line

>>8885052
well-observed, i have corrected.

>>8883584
How does multiplayer work? Everyone just builds on the same map?

>>8884734
They can enter the queue just fine, they just might have a difficult time finding it.

>>8885018
They should have bought a fast pass then if its so long.

I've been playing this game for 23 years now and I've never seen a roller coaster break down during testing until this morning.

>>8884861
the server doesn't have them for some reason

>>8885018
seriously what on earth were they thinking adding this?

finally completed my first RCT2 expansion scenario!

>>8885773
Some of those scenarios weren't even worth the time created.

>>8885773
>can be beaten with 3 clicks
I know they were outsourced but why do the expansion scenarios suck so hard? Rollercoaster Heaven's probably one of the worst offenders.

>infinite money+coaster goal so no reason to care about how your park is designed
>length requirement leads to helixspam
>redwoods everywhere
>you can't delete redwoods by building in vanilla, and scenery clearer doesn't work on them without openrct2 either so you need to right click every single one
>low coaster variety, have to use basically every single one
>literally nothing in the park matters unless it's a coaster for the goal or scenery to help it meet that goal

also shoutouts to the Inca City one that says it has height restrictions when it doesn't.

>>8885784
almost all of them aren't even worth it. Which is a shame, since some of them are nice to look at

>>8885882
>I know they were outsourced
I think you've got your answer right there.

>>8885942
didn't they playtest this shit before they released it?

>>8885962
I doubt it.

>>8885975
Also don't forget the really tiny maps that have 4-5 year long goals. One of these requires building into the ocean but there's height restrictions which means you can do fuckall with it.

>>8885773
Legit one of my fave two scenarios in the game, as it's just chill, comfy and I don't have to sit around for years to complete it.

>>8885645
I think that was added recently to ORCT2. Didn't it used to literally be an exploit that the rides would count for stuff in test mode and never need to be opened or fixed?

>>8885697
0.4.0 only imports them when loading rct1 scenarios/saves or rct2 saves that were made with them
host has to manually add them from the object selector if they're not enabled

>>8886414
I've seen it happen to. It's just an exceedingly rare event.

>>8886705
>you now have to manually add the cliff faces

Can these fuckers do anything right?

>>8886763
i have no idea why it was even changed, they still only show up in the terrain editor if rct1 is linked even if the objects are selected
literally no reason to not import them when people did actually frequently use them in rct2 parks
hopefully there's a plugin or something to unfuck it cause it's really dumb

posting a little early this time

>>8890837
i'm noticing a distinct lack of shitposts

>>8890837
I haven't played in a long time but i really enjoy seeing these weekend server highlights.

>>8890837

>>8885261
late reply but yes, we all share the map and money pool.

>>8892349
Is everyone just expected to be experienced enough not to build an expensive ride too early and fuck over other construction?

>>8892383
well unless you join and build a fuckhueg ride in hour 2 of the server, you'll be fine. A lot of people who join regularly are into optimizing prices, which makes money an issue for only the first few hours of the map. And if we do somehow fuck up and run out of money and max out the loan, that's what cheats are for.

need help

>>8892989
nice burgers anon

>>8892997
thanks I made another burger

>>8893232
That is some delightful American scenery you have there.

inb4 the openrct2 devs patch the toilet flush sound back in

>>8893887
dont ever fucking joke about that again.

>>8883584
Question about the multiplayer server hosted here, does it have the following options enabled?
>"Disable clearance checks"
>"Arbitrary ride type changes"
>"Allow chain Lift on all track pieces"

>>8892404
ah yeah we never really run out of money
t. maxes out the loan on scenery in the first couple hours on every map

>>8893232
Fug, now I actually want to recreate a real fast food restaurant in the middle of my park, with hidden toilets, burger stalls, fry stalls and all.

>>8885039
entertainers are for zoo enclosures, sir

>>8893919
Only the regulars/host can enable them and usually only when we feel like doing it for whichever reason.

>>8894518
This reminds me, the last time i joined (a yearish ago) there was some troll fucking it up for a laugh. Are there enough regulars with permissions now that trolling is kicked/banned?

>>8893919
Clearance checks are turned on for the moment people need them. Other cheats are allowed whenever, within reason.

>>8894851
Yeah they seem to have either fucked off, or nickshifted and plays normally now. For a while there, the server was set so that anyone new joining would be set to guest, but things seem to have calmed down, so anyone can join and build. There's a few misunderstandings here and there, but nothing like it once was. No one wants to be a cop on a 4chan RCT server so it's on the honor system at the moment.

sensational work, anon

Why do I like RCT1 more than 2? It feels comfier to me. Also are there custom scenarios for these games that have goals, like in the default scenarios?

>>8895445
RCT1 has better scenarios, RCT2 has better game mechanics. It's all a moot point now that RCT1 scenarios can be played in OpenRCT2.

And yes, there are tons of custom scenarios floating around out there. You can check out the ones made on 4chan by downloading the /v/ pack from the OP.

>>8895530
Cool, thank you. What are the different mechanics in RCT2? I've not actually played it very much.

>>8895769
The easiest thing to see is the ability to use block sections and banked inclined turns on some rides.

>>8895769
Woodie loops and cash machines
Also pathfinding improved

>>8895843
woodie loops are in rct1

>>8896154
god I love the rct1 sprites

>>8896232
heard that there's some people working on porting all of rct1's car sprites to openrct2
but no idea if the devs will even allow them to be added

>>8896258
it would be nice to have them, but there would be missing sprites. Wooden coaster track banks more in RCT2, looping coaster has banked inclines, etc

>>8896310
if i remember correctly there were plans to bring back rct1's wooden coaster as a separate track type like how the steel mini coaster was brought back as the classic mini coaster
but that was a few years ago, no idea if it's still a thing

>>8896154
Damn really? I must have just never even thought of looking for them in special elements until rct2. I didn't even hear about woodie loops as a real thing that existed until this general.

>>8896557
rct1 was weird and locked special track elements behind research
i don't think woodie loops appear in rct1 until loopy landscapes' scenarios (as that's when it was added to the game i believe) and even then they're probably late into the research order when you probably will have already beaten the scenario

>>8896604

>>8897154
Cutaway view works wonders.

Anyway, rate my Swamp Cove

>>8897210
Why is the picture area so much bigger than the park area?

>>8897578
The giant screenshot seems to capture the area that was trimmed off with cutaway view anyway.

>>8897638
Why not put the pic into Photoshop or whatever and trim off all that fat? It wouldn't be such a massive filesize then.

RCT is 256 colors, you numpty. PNG is optimized for few colors while JPEG is optimized for many colors. GIF compresses even better than PNG as I recall.

>>8896896
sumptuous

>>8897660
well that's what I was doing here >>8897085 and it was only making the file size larger. It made no sense. It's a fucking paradox.

>>8897085
>>8899174
see >>8898401
>>8897660 was referring to cropping out the blank space.

You are full retard.

>>8899174

>>8899229

also yeah png DID lower the filesize but it was just over 4chan's 4mb limit.

>>8899405
i remember trying this my first time in Bumbly Beach. 30 mins later 2 coasters crashed and i failed the scenario

I'm about to play RCT for the first time in probably ten years. I'm going to use Open RCT2. I was wondering what are some of the best mods that add a little bit of violence or the possibility to turn it into a death park.

>>8900269
Isn't that just normal play? What are you looking for that's more deadly than your own rides and landscaping?

OPENRCT2 MOBILE WHEN???

>>8899576

If this is the map I think it is, then holy shit this is from yeeears back

>>8899576
would look even cooler if you made the tracks invisible

>>8900269
Most mods are either custom scenery, custom scenarios or ride saves. And even then, you'll need someone to give you pointers to the correct download pages because the custom content databases are usually very non-descriptive and nebulous to what they're offering and how to use the mods.

OpenRCT2 doesn't have a huge modding community, btw.
That's primarily due to
1) Its popuarlity (or lack therof), Parkitect and Planet Coaster acted like sponges to the builder autists, not to mention that Parkitect is easier to mod by virtue of being made with Unity.
2) RCT2 with all its expansions actually has tons of ride and car varieties. The Twister thrill ride has like 11 variations, for instance.

You can still do crazy-looking shit in OpenRCT2 using its relatively simple debug tools.
Deurklink makes good tutorials, and this one in particular condenses a lot about it nicely in the context of go-karts:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-b8uPhafR-I

Deurklink also has a lot of contests that may give you ideas for your own parks or rides.

>>8901906
>pic
This just makes me want to make a setup that looks like peeps are walking alongside karts on the same path, easy enough with invisible elements and clearance checks off.

Are there any mods aside from custom rides, scenery, and simple plugins? I've never once looked into modding the game because it seems like the main game has everything I need.

>>8902453
Isn't there that super overpowered wooden hybrid thing? It's a custom ride but a lot more extensive than a custom flat ride for instance.

https://files.catbox.moe/uma74l.png

>>8902783
fucking amazing

>>8902783
>dancing bananas

>>8902584
yeah there's also the custom single-rail coaster too.

>>8902783
ahhh some good old-fashioned Rollercoaster Tycoon autism. Good to see it.

>>8895769
Scenery is more complex in RCT2, you can elevate walls and roofs to make buildings more complex than in RCT1. It's quite a bit different.

>still waiting for a new update that fix all the bugs added with the new save file

Any map ideas for the weekend?

>>8905147
SEX

>>8902783

Where's the map download?

somewhere over the rainbow~

>start scenario
>most of it is blocked by space-waster rollercoasters and retarded path systems to accommodate them
>demolish them and you're just playing a scenario with like 30k bonus money and no issues
It's really hard to determine if the challenge of a scenario was intended to teach you to fix shitty things, because sometimes it is, or if they were park flavor that they didn't know was garbo. Does anyone make rules for themselves like never scrapping rides? Do you enjoy it more if you don't fix bad things about parks' starting arrangements and just work around it all?

>>8905950
which park?

>>8905960
Noticed it in both Three Monkeys and Karts and Coasters so far.

>>8905970
>removing the three monkeys in Three Monkeys Park

what's wrong with you

>>8905950
I'll always try to modify existing rides before I remove anything. The Storm in Katie's World is an example of one I would edit, I just make it a little longer so the trains enter the station slower. No brakes failure crashes after that. However, I will straight up remove some rides, like the suspended coaster in Ivory Towers.

>>8905975
A simple rename of the park is part of the changes obviously

>>8906009

does the server go up tonight or tomorrow? looking for a burger friendly map

>>8906194
usually tonight. It slipped my mind until just now. Pick a map and we'll try it out.

>>8906208
how about rampaging river

>>8906273
Don't have it. Got a download or a screenshot?

>>8906305
It's in the vrct pack. Though you're gonna want to add some scenery to it for sure

>>8906348
Huh, somehow I didn't have that one. Looks cool though. Let me fiddle with the objects selection and I'll have it up in a few minutes. Gotta add the terrain back in anyway.

Do you guys have any custom scenery packs that you recommend? Now that we can add a fuckload of objects, there's no reason not to add more packs.

alright it's hosted, enjoy

I decided to make a maze of maze exits for some reason

>>8906696

>>8906698
They really seem to like it, at least.

>>8906704
holy shit anon that's really something

>>8906708
Thanks. I learned that hungry lost guests impact park rating even if they're at maxed happiness. Also at the corners of the square, mazes are dumping people into other mazes, to no consequence. They path away as if the ride's not there (so those entrants do have an initial chance to leave aside from the exit everyone else must find).

>>8900715
Well I guess since I'm return after decades, what are the most fun ways to kill guests? Most coasters don't let me open them without a complete circuit

>>8907812
be creative my friend, make a supercollider. Also figure out what lets you have a launched mode.

What do you call your customers?
peep (slur)
guest (based)

>>8907812
My favorite way is to build a mini golf course, then delete a path piece with the tile inspector.

>>8906432
anyway I can get ride cheats active for chainlift pieces and unlocked operating limits

>>8907812
Using the tile inspector to delete a portion of a maze with guests in it. They will be frozen forever. They technically didn't die, but they wish they did.

The Classical/Roman scenery might be simple but it's probably my favourite just for how elegant and versatile it can be.

>>8909415
Fuck I just noticed that the interlocking loop is clipping because people keep flipping the clearance checks on and off. I was trying to avoid that.

Oh well.

>Advertising the server on /v/
this is how you get trolls

>>8909425
who the fuck posted it to /v/

>>8909714
actually a better question is "where on /v/ was it posted"

>>8901508
I shudder to imagine the mobile UI.

>>8908815
Were you trying to graph QE & inflation in the last 20 years? I see we're on the right hand side now.

>>8909721
it was posted in an actual bait-free RCT thread
which is how I found this thread from over a year ago

>>8909415
When I give up on picking a colour for any steel coaster, white with bordeaux red and the classical/roman station is an easy pick

>>8910523
well that's better than I expected. It's hard to see /v/ as more than a containment board sometimes.

thanks doc

I think you're all stand-up guys and it's a problem

>>8883223
i built this meme park so many years ago and i don't even remember which hard drive that died that it was on but it's gone forever. i know there are more screenshots of it because i remember filling in that northwest gap space with a coaster and i renamed all of the rides to variants of 'thanks doc.' if i didn't post the screenshots on /vr/ i posted them on /v/. if anyone finds any more of those screenshots can you please post em?

the screenshot i remember the most of it is a quarter rotation reversed of this one.

i have been so busy with life and being depressed i really should play this game again..

you guys know what handymen are, right?

Is that a Units themed side-friction coaster?

>>8913572
>the name isn't anywhere on there
Did you really get that just from the colors? Yes, it's a pair of synchronized tracks called "High Pressure Days."

>>8913572
>the name isn't anywhere on there
Did you really get that just from the colors? Yes, It's a pair of synchronized tracks called "High Pressure Days." They're not identical so the trains cross paths and immediately separate multiple times before arriving at the end of the station at the same time.

I really like the side-friction coaster, so I pay attention when I see someone else has built one.

I can see parts of the coaster name on the two images in the overview. Put that together with the color scheme and it makes sense.

I've literally never seen the Units referenced in the wild before. It's bizarre to see it here of all places.

>>8917150

as long as you dont go over 2.8 later G's you can do unbanked

in fact you can literally keep things unbanked to tank between 2.8-3.1 lateral g's and you just get an intensity spike for free stats. very useful on 'guests prefer high intensity ride' scenarios'

>>8920537
try harder

>>8920761
no

>>8920537
I can't even tell if the lack of banked turns and completely purple coaster/track is supposed to be subtle trolling or not
