For me its dinky park

Reinstalled Sim Theme Park last night. It also turned out to be the UK version. I know there isn't a real difference but still a bit excited since a lot of people say the UK ant guy is better.

Anywho, any tips and trips for the game? Kind of thining about going full Marcel Vos on it since I can't find anything other than cheating.

>>11964529
I remember it being pretty basic as far as management sim goes. But it has spline-based tracks and on-ride camera which is cool.

>>11964928
I forgot it was done recently, I just grabbed the first thing I thought of

>>11965289
for being one of the shittiest original scenarios, you sure think about it a lot

>>11965654
I didn't make the thread the last time, that's why I forgot it was recent

>>11965289
>>11965657

what map this weekend?

>>11967965
micro park (unbound)

this general is like 80% one guy talking to himself and bumping from page 10, and maybe 1-2 other dudes occasionally joining in, isn't it

>>11967983
which one are you?

>>11967983
>>11968000
samefag

>>11967983
You cannot prove that 4chan is more than 2 people.

>>11968002
I found all 3 of us

i really like autistic detailing with fences and walls to make little buildings and stuff but never have enough time in normal scenario play

>>11968113
Imagine not being already forced to abuse pause to have time to build even a coaster to near-autistic satisfaction. That or keep a save to revert to after working everything out and just quickly assemble your creation.

>>11967983
sometimes it feels like that

>>11967965
I was thinking The Caldera, since it's one of my favorites, and we haven't played it since last year.

>>11968329
this reminds me of a dumb thing I made in photoshop years ago

>>11967983
I'm going to start playing again, just changed pc, time to add some shitty splash boat ride again

>>11967983
>>11968000
>>11968002
>>11968005
all me btw :)

>>11968793
that gif was me though

please stop impersonating me

>>11969249
stop posting anonymously then

>>11968705
are you the nigga who makes splash boats with bunny hills?

For now, I have Big Ass Rock hosted because it has a lot of good places to build still. 97.69.222.117:11753

>>11970140
Your server is bad and you should feel bad.

>>11970143
music made you lose control

>>11970054
I used to make super long splash boats, not bunny hills

>>11970143
Well someone's in a mood today.

>>11970140
Stuck on receiving objects, LET ME IN

>>11970352
I reset the whole dang setup, give it another go now

>>11970371
Doesn't work, it's probably my new pc that has problems, never had problems with my old one, i'll try reinstalling

What would make a good transport ride around the rock? Maybe suspended monorail, since a lot of the ground around it is full of rides and path? It would be much easier to build over everything.

>>11971357
maze

Dunno what happened here.

>>11971984
some guests probably got stuck

>>11972462
1000 guests left before it stabilized, it was more than just a few getting stuck.

oh no the chain lift cheat was on on and someone build an entire coaster without noticing it's covered in chains

>>11972949
I would have done that with a mini golf if it supported multiple stations.

>single-rail lay-down coaster transport ride
Every now and then you guys cook up some mad science shit that somehow works

>>11973129
haha guest go whrrrr

this doesn't mean anything to you guys obviously but this is my first time ever getting pic related in a park instead of plunking down premades everywhere and it only took me 30 years

>>11973638
Good, yes. Good. Let the power flow through you.

>>11974219
>those useless captions
I fucking hate how zoomers feel the nee to slap those onto literally everything

might be worth it to crop that shit out and make the video square. It's funny as hell on its own.

>>11974241

>>11974241
At least it's not right in the middle of the video this time.

I've also only seen that on the server. One day I'll get it myself, I believe.

>meanwhile millennials 2 decades ago

>>11976761
Eh, sure, but what's happening now is far more pervasive and ruinous. Any clip where people can comment is flooded with "me when" type shit. That behavior emerged from the old guard too but they pulled an image in to support something they wanted to express, not the other way around.

>>11976783
It's more the fault of social media as a construct than the people who use it as it's designed.

>>11975767
I wanted to do a long, Big Pier-type situation with a mini coaster/wild mouse, but got tired.

>>11976761
That's a meme of memes made for one retarded website.
Wait... 4chan is a millennial website.

>>11976761
demotivational posters were obnoxious back then too, but at least it didn't affect basically everything that got shared.

>>11975720
What's that dark square?

>>11977803
the matrix

>>11976810
Wild Mouse is the best coaster type for boardwalks. Wooden coasters are a close second, followed by corkscrews.

>>11976761
the meme format is a parody of those motivational posters people randomly had in their office at the time.
it's not a caption, so much as it's part of the meme itself.

i made a newish track for people to shit on. lots of mistakes and things to spruce up.

>>11978742
Nice, fruity tempered palette.
It brings all guests to the yard.

>>11978742
That first drop would be absolutely bonkers in the back row if that were a real coaster

>>11978742
That looks like fun honestly

>>11978742
I love it

>>11978742
i wish i could make the queue path a custom colour, and even use the abstract theme's glass as the floor as well so people can see the track running underneath them while they wait.

>>11980926
>i wish i could make the queue path a custom colour,
Should use the pink tiled version, would look great.

>>11980926
the glass makes it so you can't tell what color the queue is anyway

>the current incarnation of Atari has had the Rollercoaster Tycoon IP for over a decade
>they haven't made a single game worth playing

Are they the most useless videogame developer?

>>11983569
It's hard to compete with Chris Sawyer, the greatest mind of his generation.

>>11983573
they could have at least included all of the features of his original 1999 game in their "attempts" at making new Rollercoaster Tycoon games

A new RCT game doesn't even need much. You want more freedom but not the tedium of Planet Coaster. So expand the scenery sets modestly - not so much as a NED workbench, where you need to build up knowledge of what the pieces even are to be able to use them, but enough that you can put up buildings with a decent variety in shape and texture. And implement spline-based track: I bet it wouldn't be too difficult (with the resources of a *product*) to cook up a system that, on the fly, bakes 3d modeled track into sprite chunks with car orientation data that can justwerk with the base game data structures.

RCT as a franchise is dead in terms of new games. Just play one of the many spiritual successors if you need to play something new.

>>11984280
And yet we're all interested in the slow steady process of new stuff being strapped to RCT2.

>>11984308
Zero-G rolls for inverted coaster WHEN

>>11983569
The current incarnation of Atari has only existed since 2021, and sells more hot sauce than games.

>>11983569
>Are they the most useless videogame developer?
They have competition with Mojang

I *need* the custom objects to cover the limitations of the vanilla scenery set. But sifting through them, figuring out what's what, finding the piece you need, realizing that your workbench still has some gaps, etc is fucking misery.

>>11985158
Just use trackitecture

>>11985161
I'm talking shit like just finding a recolorable diagonal base block that matches the other sets. Vanilla and even many workbenches are stuck with only a wooden one. I just want to make a goddamn diagonal path.

>>11984280
It's Atari owned, what did you expect?

>playing extreme heights
>use the lack of budget and big space to finally try making some dueling coasters
>shit at making coasters by the way
>almost identical stats, intensity still high enough for the scenario even if it isn't 9+
>fucked up a curve and one of them is 7 seconds longer so it loses every time

>>11985054
Mojang has sold 1 (ONE) functional product, which Atari cannot claim to have ever done

>>11986127
Timing racing coasters is fucking frustrating even for those who are good at making coasters.

>>11986127
Dueling coasters are a pain, and moebius coasters are even more of a pain. It's even worse when block sections get involved, since even if the trains should take the same amount of time to get around the timings inevitably start acting up.

>>11987076
>the timings inevitably start acting up
Not if you set the station wait time to an exact value and don't try to cram in more trains.

Hosting The Caldera early this weekend. Enjoy.

I changed the ending to weed watcher slightly because hard-hitting brakes right before a hill nearly always lead to a crash, because brakes are inconsistent.

>>11988214
Much better, thanks anon

density

How is this crashed coaster open and functional?

>spend 10k on a steel mini
>5.98 excitement
same as it ever was

>>11988864
I'm telling you, those things have a cap that is seemingly impossible to punch through.

If you see a closed loop like this on the transport system, please leave the area empty until we naturally build out there and connect it to the rest of the park.

>>11988869
mostly i'm just disappointed in my inefficient designs, i'm so bad at making custom coasters

>hyper coaster crashes just by itself on a straight piece of track
WHY

>>11990005
skill issue

>>11983320
i mean the coloured glass IS the floor.
i'd use the tile inspector to hide the queue path and have some sort of glass block underneath as the queue line instead.

Out of all of the inverted coasters I've made for these maps, this might be my favorite use of terrain yet.

>>11990005
can't park there, mate

>>11986127
You'll get better at it. Unfortunately your timings will get even more shredded once the ride opens and guests change the momentum. Asymmetrical designs are more challenging, but also have the benefit of uneven distribution of slopes/hills to even out the race. Ultimately a high average speed is best. Slower sections will pull the racers apart due to momentum differences. Once guests start filling those seats, the effect is even greater.

>>11990921
>large half loop into in-line twists, then small loop into sloped banked downwards into mountain
that's pretty neato

I fucking LOVE building realistic-ish looking hypers

>>11991637
I am a major fan of hyper-twisters and I love this turnaround

Bump

>>11992879
About one-quarter of the map left untouched. That's a lot of good building space, including one of those big rocks.

I might honestly just make a path loop around the whole park before the server closes. It's a shame we didn't get to the last corner because the rest of the park is SO nice.

>>11993663
It's a 3 day weekend for the burgers. Maybe we can get another day.

>>11993664
So, should we keep it up for Labor Day? Let's give everyone one more day to finish up the park.

A lot of people were getting stuck by 2x Pine and it turns our they were all trying to get to the weed rides. I had to make a makeshift pass across the lake because there's literally not enough room underground, so it looks janky as fuck. I'll pretty it up as best I can.
>>11993697
May as well, right?

So I'm well into my years later RCT addiction but have never played multiplayer (didn't even know it was a thing) and I see there's weekly servers. How does it work exactly? Rules?

everyone's a critic

>>11993885
Don't let that peep dry heave. Shit hurts.

>>11993849
Enter this: >>11970140 into the window after hitting the "Add Server" button on the multiplayer window.
As for rules, the only concrete ones are
>No massive terrain changes without permission
>Don't purposefully murder guests or spam rides that crash
>Don't outright delete other people's builds, or grief other people's builds
Other than that anything goes.
It's not a rule but it should go without saying but the parks are a collaborative effort, so feel free to add scenery to rides that aren't yours or ,in general, just get creative with other people's builds if you feel inclined.

GOD
DAMN IT

>>11993926
The more I play this game the more I learn just how fucking dogshit the guest AI is.
Can't have cool-looking paths, because it creates too many junctions and guests don't like that.

>>11993891
And make sure to not leave the clearance check active when you don't need it

>>11993716
Guests yearn for the weed rides

>>11993849
It's basically just a map where multiple people can build shit simultaneously. Besides what >>11993891 said, I also want to add that you should avoid using prebuilt rides, because they're boring.

>>11993215
Filled up pretty quick with how slow yesterday was going.

>>11993956
why not?

>>11994772
Accidentally building while clearance checks are off is disorienting because you can build on top of and through EVERYTHING. You can make shit that shouldn't work.

>>11994271
I still see some empty green grass in there.

>>11994772
If i build one more tree over my splash boat i'm going insane

How do you guys come up with the fucking ride names that you do?

>>11995891
Are you talking about the reasonable/plausibly realistic names or the shitpost names?

>>11995892
I'm too boring to name a coaster like one would a book

>>11994865
Wouldn't the correct post then be to "leave the clearance check active," not to NOT leave it active

>very good spacing on rides
>good interactions
>completely full park
>wide variety of rides
>transport ride with 1 million riders

That might be our most complete map yet.

>>11993891
Is custom content auto downloaded from the server or does it just use default sprites/not let you join on mismatch?

>>11998416
Automatically downloaded. If you want to skip the process of downloading it then, download and open this weekend's map to pre-load those objects.

>>11997414
well if you want to be more specific, everyone just refers to the option as "zero clearance," so in use a phrase would be "Damn, someone left zero clearance on and I built straight through that forest."

>>11998210
Ten minute inspections. One mechanic per five rides, plus one. Keep paths short. Ensure all exits are reachable by path (staff ignore signs).

>>11996003
Good God that looks insane

>>11996003
I wish I'd have played more this weekend

I didn't get to it because I'm a lazy bitch, but I still plan on making a bunch of title sequences for the RCT1 collab parks. It won't be done before this thread starts auto-saging (very soon).
Also going to make one of this >>11996003 because why wouldn't I?
I'll probably do that first and post it next thread.

>>11999417
I'll put the next thread up when the thread gets closer to the bottom, it usually takes 5-10 hours for it to happen so it'll be somewhere in that time frame probably.

Did anyone ever bother to update the weekend park archive?
