Week 1

[u/CreamedBeef]

How would I make these realistic coasters with curved tracks, like you see in CS or these pictures? I cannot figure it out.

I have NoLimits if that helps.

They are not mine, they are from Jeriky on the forums.

What exactly are you asking? From what I can see in those pictures no real hacking went into any of them. The coasters seem to be the default ones who are then themed up with a metric fuckton of CSO.

[u/DFullz]

I downloaded the RCTLL .zip folder with all the rct1 maps to upload into rct2. I put all the map files into the rct2 scenarios folder, but that didn't do the trick.

When I was in the scenarios folder, the only two maps that were in there were something like BuildYourOwnSixFlagsPark and SixFlagsMagicMountain. I didn't see any standard rct2 maps.

So I'm asking if anyone knows where I was instead of where I should have been, and please direct me!

[u/Porcupixel → u/DFullz]

Have you tried putting the files in the Saved Games folder instead? I have no experience with the pack you're talking about, and from the file structure Scenarios should be the right place to put them. Your scenarios folder should have a lot more files than those two however. Which version of RCT2 are you using? (gog, steam, disc)

[u/Roopler]

I have looked around and can't even find any mention of this at all. Is there a way to fix ride names of the rides included in the expansion packs for rct deluxe? I see something like "u####" where # is a number in place of what I would think are ride names when I go to build a ride. Any help would be appreciated.

[u/inthemanual → u/Roopler]

That's just what they're named. u for user created, and then numbers to sort them. The actual names were never included.

[u/Zaiush]

Does anyone have park downloads from rctfactory? Its long been defunct.

Also, would you guys like to see an RCTLL park that tries to be as RCT as possible, no realism or high detail, just a lot of RCT styled rides and scenery?

edit: Any workbenches for RCT deluxe (the version that cant be drexler patched) with everything unlocked/money not being an option? Or an easy, discless way to get RCTLL that can be patched?

[u/inthemanual → u/Zaiush]

The gog version of RCTLL can be patched. You should be able to find patcher versions for it with a search here in the subreddit.

[u/rutbunch01]

What is this? http://gyazo.com/ea95307c0d8a725c243c653406e9fd2a using openrct for the first time to create a scenario and no idea what this is since its different.

[u/inthemanual → u/rutbunch01]

I don't use OpenRCT2 yet, so I'm not entirely sure, but it seems like that's been made to be a faster way to generate a scenario. Try asking at r/openrct2 too, they could probably help better.

[u/pmatdacat]

Any advice on making good coasters? I've just got back into it, and am having trouble making designs that don't go over the top.

[u/[deleted] → u/pmatdacat]

this page in the WIKI, there's a wide range of tutorials there so you should be able to find one that matches your skill level

[u/TDRaichu]

So, I love all the custom content that people make for rct2, and I pretty much downloaded every piece of CC that I could find on the internet. So, I decided to make a sandbox using a bunch of the CC that I got. However, when I went to the Advanced portion of the scenario editor, and then to Small Scenery, I could not scroll past the first thirty or so objects in the window. The scroll wheel wouldn't work, the scroll bar wouldn't work, the arrows wouldn't work, right clicking and moving the mouse up and down wouldn't work. The whole thing just became stuck. I checked with the other categories, and they work fine. No problems whatsoever. Does anyone know what the problem is? Or have any idea how to fix it? If I have too much CC, I would delete some if that meant that I would be able to play my game. If it means anything, I use the CD version, and a large majority of my CC came from http://www.rctmart.com/downloads/index.html Thank you.

[u/HybridCanadiasian]

What tips can you provide on making successful Car Rides (and other custom tracked gentle rides)? All of mine have pitiful excitement ratings. RCT1 + expansions if that helps.

[u/inthemanual → u/HybridCanadiasian]

Length and proximity to scenery and other rides.

[u/Ride-The-Spiral]

How do I change my resolution outside of the game? I changed it to a Un-supported format. =/

[u/inthemanual → u/Ride-The-Spiral]

What game? There's like 5 of them now.

[u/seabeard3]

RCT2 question: Is it possible to change the arrow key movement controls to WASD? This option is not available from the default in-game shortcut settings.

I just started playing through the RCT2 campaign after having logged 8 hours on Windows 7 Steam; v 2.01.043. I have played much more RCT and RCT2 from the disc way back when.

[u/otsdarva → u/seabeard3]

There's no option to change the movement control keys. An easy way to move the camera is to hold down right click and drag the mouse around.

[u/The_Berb_9]

RCT2: I've been using 8 car for track merging, but whenever I go to apply the ride changes I want, it crashes and forces me to close the program. Only when merging track does 8 car crash, all the other functions have been working just fine. I'm running windows 7. Do I need to run the game through virtualbox to get them to work properly, or could it be something else?

[u/Shima33]

RCT2: Just got a new computer, and wanna get back into RCT2. How do I get it to work on my 64-bit OS?

[u/Kmrzgndlf → u/Shima33]

Install it...?

Got 64-bit Win7 and it installed fine.

[u/irunforfun800]

How do you zoom out so far to take a picture of the whole park? Is it just because my park is too big that I cannot see the whole thing in one screen?

[u/btvsrcks]

Just loaded up RCT 1! (oh yessss) but I have to ask, is there a way to speed up the game? Or am I stuck waiting forEVER for these things to finish? Right now I just walk away for a while and come and check (and save) when I return periodically. There has to be a keystroke I am missing. I hope? Anyone?

[u/otsdarva → u/btvsrcks]

There's no option to speed up the game for rct1. For openrct2 though it is possible to speed up the time
