>>3220906
It is! Was just there yesterday. Valravn was cool, never rode a dive coaster before. Sucked waiting 1.5 hours but hey it's opening season. Gatekeeper was fantastic, wasn't expecting it to be that fun. Magnum was a lot rougher than I remembered back in 2007.
>>3221586
I swear 4chan always makes my pics sideways on purpose.
>>3221586
Thanks for reminding me that V2 will never have a vertical twist againi know it's been 14 years since it changed
is there any way I can see the winners of previous contests? I think I made a submission in one of them but I never saw who won.
>>3221696
Height restrictions are a bitch. There's something neat about stalling sideways or upside down in a roll, though.
>Hard drive failed at the beginning of this year and I lost my mega park where I was naming coasters after Stands
Is this design concerned a sin now? I know it's mostly right turns and the segmented chain lift doesn't seem to be favorable as it was when I posted this two years ago.
>>3221828
I remember that. Just getting high excitement out of something so short is noteworthy.
Seriously though, don't vote for Howling Meadows. I don't know why you would anyway, because it's shit, but I didn't want it to be in the contest.
Oh well.
>>3221706
These are the only results I have saved. If you can remember what contest it is whoever hosted it might have it saved
Scrub question, and I know it's a bit redundant getting into scenario editing after the contest deadline, but how exactly do I add my own custom description to a scenario? I've never really worked with RCT2's scenario editor before.
>>3222279
Its in the last screen before completion of the scenario.
>>3222284
So this means nothing then?
>>3222290
Yeah. Theres a button to open a text box and type whatever you like in.
>>3222297
I gotcha. Appreciate it.

I'm not QB, but I don't see why you guys wouldn't. it's not like there would even be a way to determine who has and has not voted. But I'd probably still wait for his answer anyway.
>>3221706
Round 1 was a Virginia Reel contest that I don't have the results for.
Round 2 was the Halloween contest as shown by >>3222156
Round 3 with the winner as pic related, officially called round 2 for some reason:
http://imgur.com/a/YLYeo
Round 4 called round 3 which never ended so technically voting is still open. No results were posted because there were 2 polls made because one entry was left out, so we have varying results.

And Round 5 is the one happening now.
>>3222560
Wait, Round 4 was the Winter contest, so round 2 and 3 are exactly what they are, so we've had 6 contests with 5 of them named.
Woah so I just starting playing RCT2 for the first time in over 10 years.
Damn this is pretty fun, but I ran out of money almost immediately, should i have held off on buying the roller coaster?
>>3222594
Roller coasters are your best friend for money.
How much are you charging for it? If it's a pay-to-enter park, I'd hold off for a bit, but otherwise take a look at the excitement rating, and round that down. That's usually a pretty good estimate as to how much you should charge per customer, but if it's newly-opened, you can usually go full on jew mode, and charge 1.5x that.
AWESOME THANKS GUYS
Alright, first time tripfag for my first time park. I started this about eight hours ago, so if anyone wants to try it out, I'd be happy to hear any advice. I tried not to make it too complicated, seeing as how I'm still getting my bearings.
If you'd prefer a bare version of the park with no rides as well, I've uploaded that as well. Interest rate is high, by the way, as the scenario description hints.
With rides: https://mega.nz/#!hg4WDIjC
Bare: https://mega.nz/#!Y0IklDRR
>>3223406
You have to provide a key or a url with the key in it or no one will be able to download your park
>>3223471
Sorry, figured "Link without key" meant it wouldn't need a key.
Normal: https://mega.nz/#!hg4WDIjC!jq8M9gTCHXRas06Fx43CCXmPc25lfTlTFsMJ_G6Zkko
Bare: https://mega.nz/#!Y0IklDRR!CiVgftxnilFsgnVfWibfLby5o-sESwqR6cfeO-Hxj9s
So, what's best?
Shops randomly spread throughout the park, never too close to each other?
A bunch of shops all together close to an area with bunch of benches?
The same, but with walls and roofs to make it look like a proper restaurant?
>>3223564
Groups of a few with benches spread around. Structures/theming ideal.
>>3222537
I've voted in every contest I've been in and I intend to vote in this one too when I've tested enough scenarios.
>>3222560
There was a dueling side friction contest also.
>>3223739
Yeah there was. That was round one, not a Virginia Reel contest. My bad.
>Play normal game.
>Can't just design the coaster and pay only once you open it instead of losing money for every bit deleted for various reasons after tests.
>Play sandbox.
>Boring.
Send help.
Does shit like lamps, flowers, fences, and gates (not counting benches and trash cans) matter to the rating/happiness of the park or is it just for looks
>>3223815
Street lamps actually raise guest happiness if you have enough of them. They function like entertainers but they don't go anywhere.
Flowers, fences and gates are all types of scenery so the more you have of them, the happier your guests will be.
>>3223774
get loans from the bank to build your coaster, then pay it back once its open. once you hit 0 again, get a new load for the next ride. Or be patient and wait until you have some surplus.

>>3226385
Oh, did that one ever open since the accident?
I didn't realy pay attention.
>>3226406
Opened up in March with additional safety features added to it.
Am I gonna have problems with AI pathing with this layout?
>>3226426
Depends on how you lay out your subpaths. In general, I'd say that's about as safe as you can get for a two opposite entrances park. As long as you don't have more than one subpath per path segment per side you should be safe.
>>3226431
By that you mean ride entrances/exits? Because those will be the only additional paths aside from the ones I've already drawn up.
How does /vr/ct feel about virtual coasters? Sum of All Thrills is rumored to be closing next week.
>>3226593
It's honestly a good idea, at least when the coaster itself is placed over a fucking parking lot like at a lot of Six Flags parks.
>>3226625
Well then bad news. Turns out I spoke too soon. My girlfriend works in Epcot, and while they did lose their sponsor, they're frantically searching for another. Disney told their cast members to expect to stay open until the end of the year at least.
>>3226239
>>3226263
no problem mate :) The city's pretty comfy toobut 19th and 20th century on cold climate is the absolute comfiest you can play
>>3226426
Ironically enough, a single entrance could be safer. Pic related took my 5 gorillion hours in MS Paint, the red areas are places where guests will get lost, blue is entrance. Don't leave any dead-ends facing towards a park entrance, you either must proves a horizontal path that connects back to the main line or not do it i the first place.
Ride exits are exceptions to this though, they can be as weirdly shaped as you want, just put a no entrance sign where they connect back to the main path. With just a single entrance, you'll be able to have dead ends facing away from the entrance to give the pathing a more organic feel, but with two you'd need to stick to the grid layout pretty thoroughly, as bends and curves either way could create choke points.
>>3226631
Bill Nye is the host of that and Cyberspace Mountain at Disneyquest. That shit needs to stay open. It's practically a monument to /vr/.

Can someone explain this to me? Is it to short?
>>3228247
The powered launch got your ride time under the treshold.
>>3228276
Any idea about what time I'd need to get above?
>>3228276
I don't think so Tim.
Most likely it's a glitch with OpenRCT2.
>>3228247
The drops are too small, maybe?
>>3228247
You can suffer a penalty on excitement for
-largest drop too small
-ride time too short
-ride length too short
even then 3.4 is crazy low
>>3228247
Try testing it in RCT2. Maybe its a bug in ORCT2...
>>3228247
Add in a steep drop as the first drop and add in a loop somewhere.
That should make it more reasonable.
Anyone knows the name of a scenario with a mountain out of which comes a little river? Some forest, and the park's entrance is well decorated.
I'm half sure it was from a /v/vr/vg/ pack I got on burstintotreats, but I can't find it anymore.
>>3228845
Fuck, nevermind, it's Vista Falls.
>>3221042
Where is this scenario from? I want it too.
how long do you make queue lines? just long enough so people arent skipping the ride?
>>3228892
Usually I shoot for long enough that if you cut off the queue it would be able to run at normal capacity for a month.
You definitely don't want viable riders skipping your rides and skipping out on paying, but you also don't want 200 guests sitting in a line not paying for other stuff.
tl;dr just remember that every second that a guest is standing in line is a second that they aren't spending money

Emulate real coasters. Avoid straights as much as possible, along with anything awkward in appearance or in g-force.
Easy.
>>3229769
That doesn't work either.
I'm seriously considering abandoning custom rollercoasters and using pre-made with a different scenery.

How do you make the backwards lift thing on the looping roller coaster?
>>3229896
Starting from the station platform, build backwards.
When you finish the ride, go to modes, and choose Reverse-inclined shuttle launch.
>>3229898
Thanks!
>>3229889
This desu
Showing off comfy screenshots is nice and all, but I mostly just enjoy the process of making parks and coasters, whether they end up looking nice or not.
IS there a way to play RCT in sandbox/unlimited money mode? I want to learn how to do under/over ground rails and paths water without always running out of money
>>3229889
>>3229925
Considering I've been playing the game on and off since RCT1 came out, I'm probably just burnt out on actually making spaghetti parks.
There's something relaxing and enjoyable about making comfy rides while listening to comfy music. Have my latest comfy I guess.
>>3229971
Use ORCT2, open sandbox mode, enable infinite money cheat.
>>3229971
There is a trainer for RCT1 called Codex, which is a hex editor with a UI. It allows you to change the position and rotation of objects, edit money, rides available, lift speed etc etc.
4Cars is less advanced (it can't hex edit like codex can), but just like 8cars for vanilla rct2 it can edit money, dates, ride operating modes, chain speeds, staff, weather etc etc.
http://www.nedesigns.com/utilities/
For both of these, you'll need something called the Drexler patch (it's all over rct fansites, just google it), which disables the anti-cheat code in rct1 so you are able to use trainers. The Drexler patch does NOT work with the Deluxe version (including the steam and gog versions) of the game, you'll either have to pirate RCT1 and the expansions as separate installations, or use the magic downgrade program somebody made on the rct subreddit, it should be in their wiki.
There are also .sv4 file workbenches for rct1 which are just flat maps with all the land available and a shitload of cash, and you could always just use Arid Heights.
What to play? RCT1 or openRCT2
>>3230343
I'm currently doing all the scenarios in 1-3, all expansions and then going autism in open
>>3230343
Why not just download RCT1's scenarios into ORCT2?
I always had the understanding that there was literally no reason to play RCT1 over 2 aside from scenarios, but that's pretty invalidated when they were faithfully recreated as accurate as possible in RCT2.
>>3230572
I'm autistic and want to do them the way they were originally made
>>3230835
RCT1 and RCT2 are the same game, man. The only difference is that they have different scenarios.
>>3230835
IMO, that's probably the best way.
Like I know you can just download them all for RCT2, but there was a great joy in having to unlock the scenarios one at a time.
>>3231087
Not for me. I'm so damn good at the game I can consistently reach the goal and then spend a huge amount of time with my thumb firmly wedged in my asshole waiting for the timer to run out.
By far the game's greatest flaw.
>>3231087
OpenRCT2 lets you set it so you have to unlock scenarios.
>>3231142
But isn't that only with the standard scenarios rather than custom made ones?
>>3229973
Damn anon, that's really comfy, nice and compact, could you post stats too?
>>3231267
Have a no-scenery view also.
Is there a way to build a path/queue thats elevated so i can attach it to an existing elevated path?
all i can find is that i have to start on the ground and ramp up.
>>3230869
Ehh not exactly RCT1 was slightly more frustrating. I'm pretty sure RCT1 didn't allow you to clear scenery automatically, if you tried to build a rollercoaster even one tree could prevent the coaster from being laid down. I think you couldn't preview what rides looked like on the ground until RCT2 as well. Another thing was guest would frequently get lost and the game would have little messages telling you about each individual guest who was lost. RCT2 only nags you about lost guests if there's a significant number of them
>>3231316
There's also a few tweaks to the rides. RCT2 is way more generous with how many cars/boats/trains you can have. RCT1 log flume only gives you enough boats to fill the station. RCT2 log flume has no problem giving you like 20+ boats for the same design. Log flume is way more efficient in RCT2.
>>3231314
Start on the existing elevated path.
>>3231321
Also the fact that you can elevate things in RCT2 where everything in RCT1 is built on the ground. As well as there being banked sloped curved pieces in RCT2, while you don't in RCT1
>>3231869
RCT1 is kinda like an alpha build compared to RCT2, even deluxe doesn't address some of the shortcomings with the game. The game is still great but plays quite differently because you have to work around many odd gameplay mechanics. There's also a few parks that have rides that are basically death traps, they will eventually crash at some point if you don't rework them ASAP.
>build new coaster
>everyone wants to ride it
>have to make insane queue line that holds over 300 people
>still not enough, everyone crowding around the ride

>>3232556
Just like real life
>>3231251
Actually no, that setting applies to my remakes as well. I told the OpenRCT devs about my pack and they added tabs for them in the game if they're detected in your scenario folder. They even replicated the title sequences using my files.
>>3229973
not bad, anon! i like it!
>>3231251
I'm in the process of completing RCT1's scenarios right now. It lets you unlock as you go.

I could never bring myself to make a park that looks like that. I just don't have the heart.
How do go karts stats work.
>>3233758
I don't have a clue, honestly, but if I had to guess why the stats on the right is so low, it's because it's so much longer.
>>3233758
Go Karts get an excitement penalty if the laps are more than 1. Meaning a track one minute long will have a higher excitement than 2 laps at 30 seconds long.

4chan ignores the jpeg's orientation, that's why
>>3233869
They have a Zipper, whelp i'm soldIf only the beta buy in wasn't crazy expensive
>>3233758
To expand on my previous post, i think i have found what dictates the Gokart stats. I am inclined to disagree with >>3233804 Though i'm not entirely sure.
Based on my views it seems as if the more cramped your track/less space it takes up, the better the stats become.
See image for the gokart tests i used for this.
>>3234018
The orientation is a part of the metadata/exif which 4chan removes now. It was removed because people were using it to dox others
>>3233804
I also recall reading on here before that Go Karts have a penalty if underground for too long, though I have no idea of how legit that finding was.
>>3234465
That post may have been referring to this
https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/blob/8c1395bd463257f5def805aff355a63c492fc4a8/src/ride/ride_ratings.c#L1187
Apparently the scenery doesn't contribute to the overall excitement rating if you build the station underground, instead you just get a fixed bonus amount. That applies to all rides though.

What're the best scenarios/maps to practice coaster and scenery making on? I played RCT for years as a kid, but never got #2, so my options were limited for building nice looking stations and such. I'd like something that's got decent flatland, but some hills spread about as well.

There are custom objects that are chunks of fake ground, so you basically build a false ground.
>>3234438
Maybe you get extra excitement simply from having a piece of track going over another piece of track from the same ride?
>>3240078
Kinda disappointed, but thanks.
>>3240081
Look at the difference between Tiny and Speed, though.
>>3240061
Holy shit that is actually fucking incredible. That must have taken forever to make, Christ.
But it's not comfy enough so 0/10.
Welp, first thing I'm kinda proud of having made.
Any advise on how to improve it? Also r8 and name?
>>3240392
Needs mine cart trains instead of wild mouse
When making a scenario what is a good goal for monthly income from ride tickets, without the super abusable water ride whose name escapes me at the moment?
>>3240392
Where'd you get the water?
>>3240420
Completely forgotten about them. Just selected Mine Carts from the regular Wild Mouse selection and didn't give it a second thought.
>>3240450
Mining deco and more slopes. Got it.
And any name?
>>3240460
Major Miner
>>3239573
I mean, you can choose to play RCT2 instead, but there's basically no reason not to play ORCT2. All it does is add a ton of features, and compatibility upgrades.
>>3240513
Not that guy, but OpenRCT2 is giving me an error of unable to find installation directory whenever I try to open it. Then telling me to select the directory where I installed it. How do I fix that?
>>3240573
Telling it the directory where you installed RCT2.
>>3240451
Pretty sure QBmac won the 15x15, i don't think Junk Mountain wonBecause i don't think i've won any comp yet
>>3240580
And how exactly do I do that as I keep getting an error stating it can't find a file ending in g1.dat at this path no matter what I choose.
>>3240605
Just leave the command window open for a little bit, i kept having trouble starting it originally then i left it and it worked... i dunno
>>3240617
I went a different route. I uninstalled it and downloader the launcher. Now I haven't set the protocol version, and I don't see any where to set a protocol version. I maybe going full retard here, though I asked on there forums as well to see if I get any help.
>>3240460
This is cute as fuck.
Are there any downloads of the actual game of the original RCT on the /vr/ct site, or just the scenarios? Asking because I was looking at some old images I have from a while ago of some rides I made, and noticed they were all in the original game, and I remember there were some rides that worked better in 1 than in 2, like the shuttle loop.
>>3240746
Pretty sure it's just scenarios. Would be a legal nightmare to host an actual pirated version.
I'm certain you can figure out where to get a RCT1 download though.
>make hedge maze
>guests spend literally years trying to get out of it
>make open-ended boat-hire
>guests spend literally years trying to get back to the dock
>>3241332
If I remember correct, hedge mazes have a set excitement rating. There's really just about no reason to make a huge one.
>>3241332
You're better off making hedge mazes as a single path, so as to make sure no guests will ever get lost in them.
There's a bit more here:
http://www.rctmart.com/fossil/MazePack.html
As for boat hires, it's best either to just have them on a path or in a bounded area. Even for the second, though, I've found that they end up bunching up at the exit a lot of the time.

Literally just happened to me.
For the love of god tell me ORCT2 has an undo option.
>>3241494
Didn't mean to quote.
Also thank fucking god the game autosaved literally seconds before I deleted it.
>>3240456
Open up any of your own parks that's the size you want your goal to target and take a look at the monthly income.
What's your opinion on "sled run" coasters/rides? Where there's an entry station and an exit station and the guests don't ride the chain lift
>>3242848
I like the idea especially for the water slide and bobsled/flying turns. One drawback is that guests exiting the ride cannot immediately re-enter the queue for another round though. It makes sense for compact rides.
>tfw completing Rainbow Summit for the first time ever
At 2522 guests with 2 months to go, feels good man.
>>3242868
Not a big fan, I prefer a block sectioned ride with a lift hill in the end instead.
>Try joining a multiplayer server
>It disconnects me
>But not before downloading a bunch of new rides and paths to my files
I've found an unorthodox way to get downloads without the hassle
>>3241473
The first time I built a custom hedge maze I wanted to make it "epic" and then later saw that lots of the guests were wandering aimlessly in the hedge maze with the tired animation, with maximum hunger/thirst/needing to go to the bathroom.
Since then, I usually build at least one hedge maze in my parks for comic relief/sadism, usually after the objective has been met.
>>3243119
Once made one that it took one guest 40 mins realtime to get out of. I felt like I had failed at my job.
>Remake maze
>Google it afterwards
>1st result is someone else's remake in rct 1 year ago

What's a better place to put up a link for a scenario download? Mega or mediafire?
>>3246106
Either are fine.
Managed to build a true 4x4 coaster (including line) that pulled off a 6.4 excitement rating. Anyone manage to get something higher in the same amount of space?
>>3246556
I think the one in the /v/pack is of similar excitement rating but with way less intensity.
>>3246563
I think the one I saw previously was like a 5 point something, but the only way to bring the excitement up above that level was by making a high intensity turn at one point on the ride. I'm not sure how to optimize it any higher though.
My hand at attempting scenario creation. I know the map is a bit boring, and bare. So any tips to improve it are appreciated.

Screenshot? I want to know what I'm downloading.
>>3246742
Screenshot with scenario goal and description. There is a lake under the box.
>>3247135
There aren't enough trees that being unable to cut them is a problem.
Then it's too flat. And most of your hills/mountains seem to have been made by raising a 1x1 square.
And well, there's just nothing special, sorry m8.
>>3247147
Noted. I'll work on that and try to improve the landscape. Do you feel that the goal is reasonable though?
>>3247135
That small lake in the middle looks a bit out of place. Maybe there's a river that connects to it. Maybe it rolls off of that mountain in the left corner. Don't forget to put some happy little trees and perhaps a few bushes in there somewhere.
Just imitate bob ross basically
R8/H8
>>3247263
looks neat. can you post just the coaster too?
>>3247241
Doesn't seem unreasonable with the space and rides available. Bound to get worse if you do put more trees that can't be removed.
Also yes to a little river.
>>3247261
The biggest thing is you want to minimize the number of completely empty areas. Areas that have few trees don't look natural unless it's supposed to be a desert or tundra.
>>3247271
Roof removed
Holy shit boys
>>3247378
i got my copies during the steam winter sale, all 3 games/all expansions for like $5 total
>>3247402
Not sure what you mean but the game automatically increases the excitement when you include scenery
>>3247378
Already have both of them, but I'll be giving a heads up to some of my friends.
>>3247378
Does steam work with MACs?
>>3248258
that's GOG applefriend
>>3248258
Yeah, since like 2010.

But why.
>>3249237
Only if you remove the footpaths, make a hole and then fill that with water.

And what's the First Aid Room for?
Playing Whispering Cliffs in RCT1, I wanted to expand my chairlift to the lower section of the park. Problem is, the chairlift runs from the second station all the way to the third without stopping near the entrance again. Adding a fourth station to the upper end made a back trip a whopping two minutes without stopping at other stations, rather than the about 40 seconds for the normal distances. Anything that can be done about this? And do RCT2 and OpenRCT2 behave the same way too?
Another thing I noticed, with that configuration of station numbers, excitement dropped from ~3 to 1.5, while demolishing and rebuilding stations in order raised it to 3.2.
>>3249505
transport rides are pretty broken. The game considers them a normal ride, not a method of transportation. The excitement dropped because it was simply too long of a trip.
As far as I know, chairlifts will go stopping-all-stations in OpenRCT no matter how many you have, but there is a limit before you can't build anymore stations (6 is the max iirc)
On mac, got RCT1 off of GOG. I have the game running fine, except for whenever I try to load or save anything the colors get inverted and make it so you can't see anything. Is there a way to fix this?
>>3249528
I know the limit is 4 stations in RCT, which would be just about enough for this crammed scenario. Welp, at least the lift still keeps visitors occupied and turns a profit.
Another question: How ready is OpenRCT2 as a replacement for the main game? Does it work with both RCT1 and RCT2 scenarios, rides etc.? I only learned about it recently and the version number suggests a rather early development stage.
>>3249572
It's quite ready, if you stay away from develop and only play on stable versions there is loads of improvements and should be few to no bugs not found in the original game.
>>3249562
Figured out the fix. Just switch to window mode and it fixes the colors.
Anyone have that tycoon game chart people were posting a while ago?
