Proposing Idylwild Heights for this /vr/eekend

>>12000452 (OP)
Should we gatekeep the server? /v/ has a nice thread going on, except the gay bait stuff

>>12000697
Also thought about inviting /v/, but considering how well /vr/ is standing on its own to gatekeep retards (to an extent), I say let people find this thread on their own.

>>12000697
Nah, /v/ will build about what you expect

as a reminder here's my mega folder with all the 4chan scenarios i have, anything missing feel free to tell me and i'll add it
https://mega.nz/folder/lnYSzTAK#DEWAnJJE22HGo-QPttUYBw

>>12001057
You're still missing these. >>11999881 >>11999956

>>12000745
We don't even do anything though, we just exist in our own little corner of the internet with no traffic and hardly anyone ever happens by.
That said, I would love for more regulars to contribute to the weekend parks, but please GOD not from /v/.

>>12001067
no, they're there

>>12001231
I originally found this general through /v/ 4 years ago. Still here and still contributing.
But yeah, gatekeep people from /v/.

>>12000745
You'd be better off bringing people in from an RCT Discord server or something than /v/

>>12001231
maybe i'll hop in next weekend, but i never tried multiplayer rct before and other anons intimidate me

>>12001848
That's the reason I didn't hop on for a while, but honestly everyone's pretty cool.

>>12001848
>other anons intimidate me
I am now coming to the realization that my autistic whinging over aesthetics and ride placement a few threads ago may have put some new players off from the weekend parks. I formally apologize for that, and to whoever built that ride. I hope to have atoned for my sins by being the scenery bitch for the weekend parks.
Anyway come join it's fun.

>>12000636
my brain has focused on the kid in the background of the guest chatter saying "roller coaster" and i read this post in that voice and it's all i ever hear ingame now

>>12001959
Its shitposting time.

>>12001975
Do not test me and my spaghettification powers.

>>12001989
Cool. This weekend is a spaghetti bowl map now.

>>12002006
I will blacken the sky with steel and screams of happy guests :)

I couldn't get into the server last week and the map wouldn't open after being downloaded

>>12002075
What was the error you were getting?

>>12000452 (OP)
Certified king status

>>12002112
Invalid data. It's seemingly just one object causing the issue.

>>12002150
Okay well I was hoping to not reply with the least helpful post ever, but after digging through my object folder, I don't have that file either, but I can open the map just fine.
I have absolutely no idea how or why I can open it. I obviously was able to join and contribute to last weekend's server, but I can't for the life of me find that file in the folder.
This has happened to me before and someone else was able to post the file in the thread but now I just have a headache. Hopefully someone else has it.

>>12002150
>>12002205
Yeah, I don't have it either. Which is odd since I made the map.

>>12002206
Maybe host added it?

>>12002150
Didn't we have this problem before? Where did that file come from? I hosted the park and I don't even have that file.

>>12002209
I regularly add custom content to weekend parks, but it's almost always the same set of vehicles/paths. There would not have been anything on this park that wasn't already on last week's park, too.

>>12002781
>>12002783
What the fuck
>>12002150
You might have to either wait until tomorrow for when the server is hosted to see if you can join, or reinstall the game, the 4chan kit, and then join the server for to get any missed custom content for good measure. There really isn't any reason you shouldn't be able to join the server, it automatically downloads custom content, like we've said before.
Reinstalling everything worked for me when I was having issues, but I also didn't have a fucking ghost file that nobody else has for some reason.

>>12002150
it's this object
https://files.catbox.moe/ror2k4.7z

I'm drunk, what map should I play?

>>12003032
Ghost Town but you have to keep the game speed at 4x.

>>12003053
I'm not even 1 coaster in and I'm losing my mind

>>12003086
You should have recorded yourself doing this because that sounds really funny to watch.

>>12003108
like conceptually it's not too bad, but I look away for a second and all of my benches and trashcans are broken.

>>12003112
I'm stopping for now, will continue the next time I drink

I am kicking myself for never trying Open RCT 2 all this time. This shit's incredible. Just being able to blow through the piss easy scenarios fast by speeding the game up is something that makes me actually want to play the damn game instead of dreading hours-long waiting odysseys. I can get done in a night what would've killed a weekend back in the days.

>>12003128
OpenRCT2 is a blessing

>>12003128
I literally cannot bring myself to play vanilla again, the QoL features on OpenRCT are too many to list and it's going to feel like reverting back to the stone age.

>>12003128
Also early completion. It's trivial to hold guest count so if you have 1500 guests in October y1 you don't need to find out if you'll have 1000 in May of y3.

>>12002117
Absolutely locked in

>>12002006
what are the little ride name dropdowns at the bottom of the windows?

>>12001848
Anon, last week i made some weed themed shit rides, nobody cares what you build. Tomorrow i'm going to build a shit rapid river ride, just watch, if the map is big enough that is

>>12003000
That did it. Seems the version of the file I had before was a different size, so it must've been corrupted at some point. How annoying.

>>12003351
Ride type. One cheat allows you to change the ride type of any ride to a different one with that. I guess we had that enabled when I took that screenshot.

What's the park for this weekend going to be lads?

>>12005276
I would also like to point out that we played for about 4 hours before noticing that the research was turned off.

I can almost feel the blisters forming on my ass from these posts

If anyone want to change or destroy that eyesore of splash zone you can, i had an idea but it sucked balls

>>12006314
I am not going to destroy it. I will, however, convert the lifts into 5mph chains

thinking about making an openrct2 title sequence of >>12001057 scenarios, are there any iconic scenarios that you feel should be included?

>>12006456

>>12006520
>Can now run simulation tests with block brakes
finally

Does the area look better with or without the railing? I'm genuinely torn.
I like that the rail make the area look more like a "ride area" than just a natural swampy lagoon, but I also like how it makes it look like the boats are floating with no guidance.

>>12006814
Without the railings. Though the railings might look better if they were smaller, like if you use single-rail coaster track instead.

>>12006819
That actually does look better, I forgot single-rail RMCs existed.

>Accidentally updated my OpenRCT2 client
Welp, I'll join you guys next weekend.

>>12007861
Evergreen Gardens didn't deserve this

Any ideas on what to do with all the hills?

>>12008735
Flatten it. Build a parking lot.

>>12008735

>>12009651
You should keep that plugin because it works really well when you have access to ATMs.
With RCT1 scenarios yeah it's going to not be good.

>>12009651
In RCT2 scenarios install ATMs. If ATMs aren't available remove food/drink stalls or restrooms so guests leave sooner. Not having food/drink/restrooms can affect your park rating and the game will nag you with messages but as long as you can maintain a high park rating the game will just spawn more guests to replenish the ones that leave. You can also use advertising campaigns to force the game to spawn more guests

I love my little funnel cake shop with a giant loop on top squished between a Kohls and a Dunkin'

>>12009667
>>12009671
I suppose it's just a testament to sloppy play that I could let this tool be my undoing.
Still it is nice to finally understand how you can price shit a lot higher than you'd expect... Maybe once I'm into RCT2 scenario play, I guess.

>>12009685
You gotta show your park and tell us if you advertised constantly with your ill-gotten gains

Thankfully, I didn't cock it up the second time around.

thanks doc

>>12009509
Oh really?

>>12010080
I'm surprised with how much I was able to build in one weekend. Usually foliage/flora takes me a really long time since it's so tedious.

>>12009651
30 to 50 percent lazy tax, anon. That or use "good value" option.

>>12009785
Don't worry anon, they're all here. I could have probably done this one in the 1st year and with 2/3 or less slides if I wasn't leaving the game running in the bg while doing dishes and getting distracted by other shit.

>>12010689
The infinite spiral slides floating over an endless bed of flowers really adds to that 'fantasy' vibe

>>12010707
I'm wondering if queues aren't in the spirit of slidemaxxing.

>forgot how to make normal person roller coasters after finishing Extreme Heights
fuck

>>12010843
Just make them smaller and bank your curves. Easy.

I've been saying it for months now but fuck Nevermore Park on the original RCT1. I'm so close to having beaten all of them and this is the one that's getting me. Right now my plan is to build the Wild Mouse in OpenRCT2 and use the live ratings inspector plugin to make sure I'm keeping it from becoming too intense and then retracing my steps on RCT1.

Moving a couple states over soon. How the hell do I make sure a CRT survives

>>12011401
Anon this is the RCT thread not the CRT thread...

>>12011402
Same thing

>>12011401
Just take the CoasteR Track to the next state piece by piece anon

>>12011401
I'll tell you if you play RCT on that CRT

>>12011401
post proof you play RCT on a CRT

>>12011456
Someone in here is probably crazy enough to play RCT on the Xbox.
Should've come out on the Dreamcast so you could play with Keyboard+Mouse... Missed fucking opportunities.

>>12011401
Bank your turns.

>>12011461
I'm crazy enough if I ever remember to buy it on Amazon or Ebay when I'm not saving for something else. I'll post proof if I ever do it.

>>12010830
I've given up and am just going to queuefag anyway.
Anyone know why queues break sometimes in saved/premade rides? About half the time it seems they break up into individual tiles instead of being a complete and contiguous queue.

>>12011497
That's just queues being queues. They do weird shit sometimes.

I just got into OpenRCT2. I played this game a ton as a kid but not a lot as an adult. Do you anons just go into the park editor to make coasters or do you make them on the fly? I tend to bankrupt myself when I do that.

>>12011682
I build all of my coasters raw and naked in the park itself.

>>12011689
I build up some smaller rides that can give me the money so I can afford to make bigger rides.

>>12011682
Well stop going straight for the Twister and Giga coasters, they are very expensive. Build a small Junior or Looping coaster.

Was bored and went through every save in the weekend park archive (what little there is) and just wanted to show off some builds I really liked, starting off with probably the best build I've ever seen and I'm not being ironic.

>>12014839
>what little there is
I've got about 130 weekend parks saved. What does the archive look like?

Did you know that Amity Airfield has one tile on the runway that uses the Road footpath option instead of the Tarmac one?

>>12016004
prove it

>>12015773
>overlook hotel
You mean Timberline Lodge. But it should be possible if you ignore that half of it is at a 45deg angle.

>>12014908
Lmao look at this sneedcoaster

>>12017192
The most shocking part of this screenshot is you running an empty park at 40fps.

>>12017503
that's the default framerate cap, why change it? the game doesn't run any smoother

>>12017546
Agree. High frame rates are a spook.

>>12017546
You can definitely notice a different at least just moving the camera around.

stop bullying my fucking framerate and look at the out of place tile

Has anyone played the Switch version? Is it worth it?

>>12019914
How fun does playing the game with a controller sound?

>>12019929
If it uses the touchscreen that everyone forgot the Switch has, it might not be too bad

>>12019952
At that point, it's about as good as the RCT Classic that tablets got, with the extra feature of playing docked with a controller. There are some anons who say that the Xbox version of RCT1 has some charm, so who knows? Maybe that means the Switch version would be good, too.

Should we continue Idylwild Heights this weekend?

>>12019929
It sounds kind of miserable, except for the roller coaster building part, which seems even better to be honest (I saw a guy playing on YouTube and he kind of "guides" the tracks with the dpad, it's pretty cool actually). And there are no touch controls, for some reason.
But I'd like to hear from someone who's played it to get a better idea. I use my Switch sporadically to play in short bursts, and I think it would be really cool to have Rollercoaster Tycoon there to build things little by little.

>>12020527
Continue that, or this one that I still want to return to. Both are fine to me.

>>12020527
>>12020784

>>12020784
it would be cool to return to this eventually

>>12022236
I have it saved for a rainy day. I think the play here is to add another entrance on one of the unused islands.

Marcel was on TV
https://files.catbox.moe/sxu0nu.mp4

>>12022420
I agree, it'd make traffic to the harder to reach areas more evened out on top of making it easier to build in those spots.

>>12022660
It's cool to see RCT getting recognition these days on TV in some way.

>>12022660
Why did you have to remind me that he's Du*ch? God.

I ended up buying the official Switch version of the game, and I'm enjoying it. The controls aren't terrible, and you can adapt quickly. Obviously, it's not as good or powerful as OpenRCT2, but it's nice to have the game in handheld mode.
Some people complained about performance, but it's just that when you zoom out, the screen scroll becomes "choppy", but the game itself continues to run well. It's just a problem with how the screen scroll works, it's only smooth at the standard distance.
Now I'm going to start learning how to play better because I'm a total noob and my parks are all ugly as hell.

>>12022941
My only issue is how do you even build scenery with a controller/touchscreen? Is there a dedicated button to raise a scenery piece up and down? What about selecting a scenery piece to match its height?

>>12022948
Yes, there are controls for these things. It can be a bit convoluted at times, but it works.

Dpad up and down will raise/lower some things by one unit. If it's scenery elements, you hold the dpad up/down and that puts you in height mode, then you just adjust the height freely with the analog stick. And finally, you can make the chosen scenery element automatically go to the height of nearby things just by pointing at those things and pressing ZL (equivalent to PSX's L2 or XBox's LT).

Of course, if you're going to do very complex things, you'll probably go crazy, but for casual gameplay, it's not that bad.

>>12022964
>Of course, if you're going to do very complex things, you'll probably go crazy
You can't really do too much in vanilla anyway. Not having access to cheats sucks.
Not to say you can't build cool stuff on vanilla, you absolutely can and I've seen them, but on a controller? Fuck.
Looking forward to your park updates.

>>12022964
If only RCT had come out for DreamCast instead of Oxenbox, then it would have had native mouse+keyboard.

More spaghetti coaster, MORE

>>12022941
Nice Forest Frontiers.

>>12011401
Wrap it in all your blankets and put it in a box with pillows surrounding all sides. Tape and strap down inside vehicle. Should do the trick

>>12006845
new poster in reply chain: i would also suggest trying simple basic fences, like the chainlink, or maybe those bamboo/wooden fences?

>>12025039
you're about a week late but I might try some rope fences, hopefully that map has the colorable ones.

>>12022998
Want

I will never understand why this game feels so good to play.
I'm creating this park without the slightest consideration for aesthetics or even knowing how to play the game, but I love the result even though it's a total mess. The game is so immersive, Unlike other games of this type, in this one every little space counts, and it's just fun to look at every little thing, the guys sitting on the bench, the props you place here and there, etc.

>>12025629
It looks like you put a decent amount of effort into scenery. Scenery is a huge part of making an aesthetically pleasing park. Even just trees and hedges really help bring a park together. Without the scenery a park feels so soulless.

>>12025636
>Without the scenery a park feels so soulless.
Part of the issue with the 3D games in my opinion. It takes a lot more effort to make scenery look good in 3D so people often don't bother.

>>12025684
It doesn't help that the scenery pool of RCT3 is much smaller than RCT2, and even smaller if you're accustomed to using loads of user-made custom scenery packs. That's what always bugged me as a kid. I had all of these cool walls and gardens to place in RCT2, and then RCT3 has... smooth landscapes. Whoopie.

>>12026513
Modding RCT3 is still very simple, but i guess most of the places where you could download custom content are down by now

Which one of you keeps making shitty RCT threads on /v/?

>>12026578
How bad are they? I don't go to /v/ anymore.

it bothers me that none of the default tree scenery includes any sort of maple tree but has weird shit like a "monkey puzzle" tree

I like how it turned out, I wish I'd have played a bit more this weekend

I know there must be thousands of places explaining this, but is there some basic procedure you do first to make the park more money faster? Something like starting by building a junior coaster or something like that? Or is there no consensus on this?

>>12027328
>queue paths for the exits
lol. I just realized the error now. I'm going to switch to normal paths.

bet you forgot the rct1 steel mini has a reverse incline shuttle mode

Micro coasters. Or put hundreds of slides

Small initial layout (cheaper to make, guests bump into rides lore often)
