If flying banana dino is ded someone else can have his spot aswell.

When's the BASED new lighting in OpenRCT2 supposed to come out.
Super amped for that.

Never played RCT2 before and feel overwhelmed by how unfocused all of the scenarios seem. Massive flat parks with really long term goals, and tons of attractions already unlocked from the start, even on the easier difficulty ones. Is there no Forest Frontiers equivalent? I know I can play Forest Frontiers in this game but that's not my point

>>3351807
RCT2 doesn't allow mixed admission models anymore. You can unlock them through a cheat, at least in OpenRCT2.

If you are playing vanilla RCT2, stop right now and get OpenRCT2. It also fixes some of the missteps RCT2 made.

Pretty much the only things RCT2 did better are Shift to change build height, more scenery options, additional options when saving track designs (including paths and scenery) and some stuff under the hood. Its addons are particularly garbage. All the "new" attractions are just reskins and most of the scenery looks atrocious.

You mean you can't charge for both attractions and park admission? Because even when I make the singular ride free, I can't charge admission.

>>3351847
It's a scenario parameter, not something you can switch between.

>>3351847
It's defined in the scenario's file, you can't change it in game unless you cheat.
Just get OpenRCT2.-bis

>>3353113
the download for the recreations is in the OP. To add a scenario, you can double click on it and rct will install it, or put in in your scenarios folder if you are using openRCT (my docs/openrct2/scenarios). Make sure to set openrct as the default program for scenarios and parks too so you can simply double click them to open.

You can just drop tracks into your tracks folder, which is in your game directory.

How do I properly place block brakes? I usually end up with trains waiting far too long for another or place them in a way that the train can't make the next hill.

should I start with RCT1 or 2?

>>3353959
RCT2 Is basicly a straight upgrade.
You can get the RCT1 scenarios for 2 in the OP.
If you like the unlocking experience of RCT1 then OpenRCT2 has you covered.

>>3353981
Thank you based anon.

>>3353586
You have to experiment until you gain an intuition. A couple things to note: You can use chain lifts at the top of hills as block sections without braking, though it requires excellent timing; the first section should be the longest for simplicity's sake; and you can adjust the minimum station wait time to sync the trains properly.

>>3356590

Easier to mod and download shit.

easier to decorate stuff

and it's fun

>>3356445
I've got the game, been playing since before the steam released. It is pretty damn fun, but somehow more tedious to make things look good than rct2 at NE level. Great game if you have the time and patience to spend making a diorama, but harder to get into than rct.

The UI is Pretty shitty too for ride and scenery selection, especially scenery. They are group in categories much like rct3, and an outright pain in the ass the scroll through and find something you want compared to rct2 with custom scenery. You can't build rides backwards, or delete them backwards (deleting from the back is one at a time, can't spam bulldoze like in rct), so if you fuck up on your coaster and want to alter the layout it can be a real pain.

the sheer amount of customization and detail you can put into a park is really lovely though, and the art style is great imo.

>>3357932

I'm happy they finally updated it so that walls now seperate the paths.

Also happy that instead of 20 different paths they just have scenery you can place over paths to change it.

>>3356445

>>3358590
A trick you can use to reduce the length of chain lifts is to build the coaster at a higher level. If you elevate your coaster high enough you can even go without the chain lift at the beginning and just use them at the end so they can function as block breaks.

There's an option to allow loading invalid saves. If that doesn't work, you're fucked.

For those of you using OpenRCT2's dev version, does the interface look somewhat glitched for you too?

I used to use the packages from a PPA, but switched to the launcher since it that PPA hasn't been updated since May.

Transparency for the dropdowns and windows colors are off. Some track elements also have wrong colors, but only at some rotation angles.

Went back for now.

Is is common for parks from NEDesigns to look all cool at first, but actually be horribly broken? As in, guests can reach the park entrance and just stay on the edge of the map?

At least was that way for http://www.nedesigns.com/park/133/bijou-magique/ featured on the front page.

>>3369769
Without actually opening the park, it's 12 years old and back then a good number of parks weren't actually intended to be peepable

>>3369807
Fair enough. Some of the other weird stuff I've seen are parks consisting almost only of scenery objects (in part placed over invisible footpaths) and a coaster in boat hire mode traversing a track made of multiple rides. Not to mention all the dummy tracks.

Those are levels of RCT autism I didn't think were possible until recently.

>>3372412
The guests won't mind.

How do you guys make such beautiful parks with no puke anywhere? HOW?

>>3372471
Hire enough handymen, build benches and First Aid stations.

Alternatively just use a cheat.

>>3372471
Huge handymen budget, bathrooms at the exit of every high intensity rides, couple infirmaries, loads of benches.

Just rode my first RMC retrack after finally getting back to the park to put my season pass to use. The switching banks all over it are neat but otherwise meh. I will however say that it was incredibly smooth - smoother than the B&M even, though that may just be because it has only lap restraints.

Also my antiemetic (meclizine) seemed to only make nausea a little milder, not eliminate or make it only a minor concern. I might try a double dose though I worry that'll put me to sleep.

Restrooms make "very sick" guests less sick. I'm pretty sure they don't completely heal guests though, the guest will still have to sit and rest on a bench, go to a first aid station, or walk it off to be completely healed. First aid stations can completely heal guests who have any nausea but the guest AI sucks so they have a hard time actually deciding to use them.

There was an anon asking about this in one of the previous threads

https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/issues/3537

https://openrct2.org/forums/topic/1245-show-limits-for-of-cars-per-train/

It seems the dropdown menus for these two options were changed to up/down arrows because the dropdown menus have a hard limit of 64 on screen at a time and the limit was raised to 255 max.

>>3373320
Well, that's still a shitty way to input large numbers. Thinking how long it takes to raise umbrella prices during the rain.

Also, how often would one need (or even have space) for 64 < x < 255 cars/trains on a normal track.

>>3373347
It's only possible to run into the limit if you have the 255 car cheat enabled. The devs in the issue there want to disable the arrows unless the cheat is enabled.

They probably intend to address it properly in the future but cannot raise the limit on the dropdown menus right now due to the existing code.

>>3373364
>It's only possible to run into the limit if you have the 255 car cheat enabled.
Yeah, I know it's only possible with that cheat. I just couldn't think of many kinds of ordinary-sized tracks where you'd even want to go that high. Maybe chairlifts spanning the whole park.

Don't know if any of you would be interested in a mega park scenario. I'm still working on it. Might take a couple more days to finish. I was thinking of a build your own ski resort. The catch is the highest elevations is about 530 and the lowest elevations is -30. So that gives a lot of room for some insane coasters.

The top of the park is where the ski resort can be built. The entrances to the park are at the bottom. A walking path and chair lift can be take guests to the resort.

I'm not sure If I should have sharp drop offs likes this or give it more of a natural look. Many of the scenery objects are taken from Christmas in Rovaniemi found at nedesigns.

Does it make any difference for boarding time whether the entrance is built near the middle or the front/back ends of a station?

Gotta optimize those Photo Loops as far as possible.

>>3380831
It makes a world of difference on flat rides and especially water rides. Log flumes need entrances near the front of the stations. Exits are less important.

>>3380831
It does, as peeps have to walk to their seats. Entrance and exit should be placed as near the middle of the train as possible.

This works in OpenRCT2, and is faster because the train never actually goes through the photo element, but people still buy photos. Just make sure you set WITHOUT passing station so it stops at the station properly.

That looping coaster looks excellent, and I like the waterslide, too. I'd recommend you put a fence along the path in the back, though.

>>3383780
A bunch of autists making nonfunctional parks that look good, I think.

>>3383804
I always find it interesting when people come up with unconventional uses for video games. On NED they're basically using RCT as a paint canvas for making landscapes.

>>3383560
Like, HOW do you do this? Are you planning advance every tree? I end up throwing a bunch of trees around and it looks like literal garbage

>>3385082
I don't know about you, but it looks like pretty uninspired tree spam to me. Too many different sorts and no space inbetween to make them look realistic.

It kinda works since it has some variance in colors, but I doubt much thought went into it. Ride placement is nice however.

>>3383804
tbqh fambruhgini, I think the whole "autism" thing around it is really unnecessary. that shit is gorgeous! spending a lot of time on something beautiful doesn't make you autistic. it's stupid.

>>3393665
The point is that my coaster is complete shit but still has better stats. Already posted about it in the last thread, it was a test track I just opened as is in the end. That's also why its station is far too long – the track was supposed to be longer. (save imported from RCT1, so no block brakes available)

And the actual excitement is another 0.1 higher due to nearby rides. I only removed those for the screenshot.

>>3393948
IMO it would look better/more realistic if you chose a two or three main tree species (for maximum autism, ones that commonly occur together in nature as plant communities) and interspersed them with some shrubs and rarer trees. And left some space inbetween.

The area around the freefall alone has about a dozen different trees. But feel free to carry on. Realism isn't everything, you have to like how it looks. Definitely looks better with trees than without.

>>3393949
How depressing.

Well, about time I posted this. Been playing around with Chain Launch and I'm enjoying it.
But I'm kind of struggling to come up with something other than a banked hill turn as the first hill...

File: SCR21.png (180KB, 1600x838px) Image search: [Google]

180KB, 1600x838px

And this would be my approach at fixing the main problem the Chain Lift has. If a breakdown occurs during the Launch, the train doesn't get enough speed to make the hill and falls back onto the Chain Launch, where it gets stopped and Launched again at "not enough speed to make the hill" and the loop repeats and you have to close the ride and reopen to fix it.

With the return tracks, the train gets to the beginning of the Chain Launch and once the ride is fixed, it gets the speed needed to clear the hill.

Now, if anyone better than me at the game could make an actual good coaster out of it... I'd be happy.

Also... How was this missed?

Apparently the almighty Chris Sawyer is kind of a pussy, when it comes to coasters...

But the interesting part:
>Plant man ein RCT 2 Patch mit aktuellen Achterbahntypen wie zB. einem Wingcoaster?
(Are there plans for a RCT2 Patch with current Coaster types, like Wingcoasters?)

>Sawyer: Nein, neue Typen sind derzeit nicht geplant. Es wird mit der mobilen Version von RCT 2 lediglich vereinzelt neue Streckenelemente geben, wie zB. einem Launch-Element für Giga-Bahnen.
(No, new types are not planed right now. With the mobile version of RCT2 there will only be some occasional new track elements, like a Launch element for GigaCoasters)


So... can we expect those elements ported into OpenRCT2 at some point?

>>3394257
>So... can we expect those elements ported into OpenRCT2 at some point?
At some point it will happen because OpenRCT2 has mod support planned in the future. In order to avoid legal problems the devs will probably avoid shipping it with their game engine and instead require that you extract the graphics(and maybe code) from the DLC and add them to a particular directory to enable the new elements.

>>3394257
>Also... How was this missed?
It's a German-language interview, that's how.

Someone linked the park's special about that new Klugheim area in the last thread though, and it also featured Chris Sawyer in the last 10 minutes. But he didn't talk much about the games.

>>3394383
Yeah Chris seems to be a scenery enthusiast.

>>3394103
Is that 2nd track at the start to ensure it gets a full boost / avoids crashes, if the life hill breaks? I've thought of doing that a few times, pretty rad if it works.

>>3397602
>Is that 2nd track at the start to ensure it gets a full boost / avoids crashes, if the life hill breaks?
exactly. It works pretty well, you just need to make sure to build the tracks in the right order.

>>3399632
I've seen bullshit like trains accelerating to 100 km/h on flat lift chains (probably done because there are no RCT1 boosters) or seemingly flying through the air and changing tracks on NED already.

Some of the stuff looks cool, but it's all pretty dumb.

https://a.pomf.cat/rniqbc.mkv

>>3399698
>probably
You think? There's nothing bullshit about it if you accept that that chain is simulating a powered launch. That clip is just retarded and physically (nearly) impossible. Most merging is to simulate track switching existing in reality, with the graphical limitations tolerated. If youre going to bitch about it you might as well bitch about every other awkward thing done to recreate real stuff.

If you find the quirks intolerable, fine, but don't act like the pursuit is stupid.

>>3399698
>>3399714
It occurs to me that you probably took the original comment too broadly. People creating 8 year old's day dreams surrounded by the full rigor of NED is indeed full retard, but I was talking about using hacks to create real shit otherwise not possible in the engine, which is absolutely a worthwhile pursuit.

Well, IMO the main point of reverse-incline launch and similar modes is to travel back the same route in reverse. Otherwise, it's kinda lame and not all that different from having a continuous circuit.

spent about two and a half hours tonight trying my hand at making a more "realistic" coaster station, thoughts?

Looks nice, but shouldn't have taken that long. I take it most of this is custom scenery, including the paths.

>>3404039
Looks good.
Now I'm going to copy it in 5 minutes.

>>3404054
to be fair, building structures in an engine that wasn't really designed for building structures takes a lot of getting used to. most of the parks on nedesigns took anywhere from 2 months to a year to make.

and i used xtreme97's 2013 workbench for the scenery

>>3404074
>most of the parks on nedesigns took anywhere from 2 months to a year to make.

>>3404087
i cant tell if you mistyped something or if i have 0 reading comprehension because i have no idea what you're trying to say

I think he's calling them cheesy because the NED parks are nonfunctional and only look good.

>>3404867
i guess i can half agree with that, but functionality isn't really my main focus with this

>>3404867
Mostly this.

Among the cheesiest and most autistic are parks that mainly consist of invisible footpaths and custom scenery emulating footpaths or ground types, e.g. to achieve angled paths.

>muh NED
On the other hand I'm insanely pleased with how my latest play through of Hydro Hills turned out, RCT looks mixed with just the right amount of realism. Only to bad there were not space for a plaza anywhere.

This is part of my dream as an adult. Retire somewhere semi rural, build my own house (compact and comfy yet open and spacious with few rooms fitting together as in a tiny house) and a few roller coasters. Current daydreams are a smallish woodie built into a slope and a shuttle heartline with a zero-g roll (lots of hobby welding if I ever hope to do this). All of this rigorously engineered myself, of course.

I went to Magic Mountain. Rode my first suspended, flying, and wing coasters. Unlike the two hybrid wooden coasters I've been on, which seem to be designed with as much airtime and lurching twists as can possibly be crammed in, they didnt cause me any nausea at all and were quite satisfying. Flying coasters seem to take absurdly long to get their trains loaded, though that might just be six herps, so Tatsu nearly wasnt worth the wait despite being great.

X2, however, was absolutely hilarious. It has no leg restraints yet likes to point you face down like a flying coaster. Together with the chaotic twists that are the point of the ride and it being a shaky Arrow coaster, you end up with your arms and legs dangling, getting slammed all over the place and generally thrown around like a ragdoll. I was laughing my ass off the entire ride, including the photo. People call this shit intense because you do a flip during a backwards vertical drop, but whatever man. It's just funny, and in that regard, magnificent.

Also ads in six flags parks for beta access to RCTW gave me a chuckle.

I'm trying to decide whether it's worth a season pass and an hour drive when I move to LA next year to go.

If you do get a pass, wait until the annual Labor Day sale that Six Flags holds. I don't know how much passes at MM will be, but I get my Great Adventure pass for $65 and it's good from whenever you buy it until the end of the next year.

>>3423992
Yeah, that's what I did this year. That way you get a gold pass too with free parking and skip the admission lines. The bigger thing is Magic Mountain being in the middle of nowhere unless you live in Simi Valley. Discovery Kingdom is just ten minutes from me but its kind of a poor park for coasters.

>>3424663
true that Marine World is sorta lacking in coasters but they do make up for it by being a half-zoo

>>3424707
They've enough quantity, its just quality, really. Aside from Medusa and V2, there's the aforementioned nauseating hybrid and a couple vekomas. Superman #56 is kinda boring and has way too little throughput. Granted they don't really have the room to put anything better in. They've already done two parking lot coasters.

its my dream holiday to tour American amusement parks.

I did the ride layout, but somebody else changed the lift hill around to suit the buildings better. I did not build that scenery.

obligatory schwartzkopfposting. Built this is the other server.

You're not having any problems with the guests?
Last time I tried 2 square width paths, guests kept getting lost, and some attraction saw absolutely nobody until I changed to width 1 paths.
What'd I miss?

>>3425871
RCT1 or 2?

>>3425908
OpenRCT2.

>>3425929
Then that's strange. Maybe they messed with pathfinding

>>3425871
It's a known problem.

https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/issues/2499

https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/issues/3943

Apparently guests with park maps try to go straight for attractions no matter how far away they are but they don't take into account any breaks in paths so if there's a break in the middle of the route they'll circle around the area endlessly. The only thing you can do is either avoid selling park maps or design your footpaths so they don't have dead ends or breaks anywhere.

Can we discuss Planet coaster here?

Shame the multiplayer server I was on didn't allow for landscaping, I wanted it to go underground.

Goddamn, I remember /vg/ had RCT threads a long time ago. Found this thread by accident. Feels like coming home, installing RCT2 as we speak m80s!

I prefer to build my Arrow loopers kinda short and with only a few elements, in my mind it makes them look more realistic and rideable but I'm no expert.

>>3426816
It really bothers me that you can't get a smooth transition from upwards sloped curve to a downwards one in parkitect.

Is there a way to change the resolution in OpenRCT without losing your aspect ratio? I can only zoom out on my 1920x1080.

>>3428680
You can set a zoom level in the options.

I have the game set to 1.25 all the time because the small font (for messages and guest thoughts) is practically unreadable otherwise.

Current one. Operating mode hacked into block section mode, which is what a lot of the lift hills act as. This type also quickly loses a lot of its speed, so some of them are actually needed.

Not completely happy with this, so I might scrap and redo some sections.

>>3428768
More than two separate lifthills is seldom a good looking idea desu.
