Most real parks offer what are usually termed "souvenir cups". Large, sometimes decorative cups which allow the guest to obtain free drinks during the visit. The cups would be available at any drink stand for an extra cost and usable at any drink stand. I know peeps don't behave exactly like real people but the real parks seem to think the cost is worth the expense. Maybe this is mostly for the increase in park popularity so possibly the number of such cups sold should increase the park rating. I assume the same thing occurs when guests buy things like hats or balloons.
The devs are planning to enable adding on more sellable items, but that will have to wait for a new file format.

Hey, I found this project last night. Really cool stuff.
I was given Roller Coaster Tycoon Deluxe when I was very young. I played through RCT2 and a good amount of RCT3 (I even have the demo disc). I've always loved the series, and was elated when I learned that the community behind this project is rather active.
I have limited technical know-how at my disposal (a little programming, a little modeling), but I'd love to contribute in any way possible.
I look forward to seeing what becomes of this
Welcome! Hopefully we'll see you on GitHub soon!

Did you check the box to advertise the server?
If you open another window of OpenRCT2, are you able to see the server on the multiplayer list yourself?

I don't know of any "download" that allows you to build through scenery... if there is one you could show it to me.
Yep, the only tool for building scenery in space already occupied by scenery (as opposed to building scenery on top of already existing scenery and rides, which you use the shift key for) is that disable clearance checks cheat.

So I downloaded OpenRCT a few months ago and LOVE it, a lot more freedom than the original game. My main problem is that I can't figure out the download to build through scenery. I've seen several parks where they build scenery over paths and attractions but I just can't figure out how to do it. If someone could make an easy little tutorial for me to install this mod/download that'd be amazingly helpful.
There's no mod- it's a cheat in the game, assuming you want the ability to build scenery in the same already occupied by other scenery. Go to options, click on the gear menu, and enable the cheat menu. Click and hold on the cheat menu and select disable clearance checks. This will allow you to build scenery anywhere without having to worry about clearance. Make sure to turn it off after you're done, as leaving it on all the time can lead to weird effects.
If you just want to build scenery hanging in the air that does NOT occupy the space that other scenery is in, just hold down the shift key, adjust the height up or down, and build.

Thats funny... Many ways to thin a crowd but it still must be done as to not get rating drops... so i often add a death drop or an elevator up to around 100 ft and the exit gives a great free fall to the drowing pool... peeps love it and they die happy.. oh, and it always free..lol
I have 4 death drops in this little park
Drowning reduces ratings as well.

They used the original RCT2, of course.
Before OpenRCT2, there were (are still are) lots of trainers available to help people with RCT2.

Like @Broxzier , all I did was build some more buildings (mostly to serve as buildings for various stalls). There are also two new paths. also, nothing new in the below screenshot, but it's interesting:
Look at all those peeps watching that coaster- it's like a mini-attraction!

Great post! The only thing you need is some changes to fix some spelling errors.

What version of Windows do you have? If you have a newer one, it wants you to install DirectPlay, which RCT2 needs to run and is not installed by default on many newer versions of Windows. Try searching for instructions on how to install DirectPlay for your version of Windows on Google, and follow them and see if you can run RCT2 after that.

@Broxzier , could you fix the pathing and vandalism issues that are dragging down the park rating? Thanks! :D

Heh, that would work....except....we couldn't ever tell that they were male or female unless there was a notion that this particular guest was female.
Oh well, back to gender neutrals again.
You could check their names.

EDIT:
Thanks Nubbie, the missing name field stuff works! And I dont know about the queues but it wouldn't matter if it doesn't work.
To reply, click on the big reply field at the bottom of the page. And @Nubbie is asking if you have updated the game to the latest develop version (you can easily do this using the launcher downloadable from the OpenRCT2 website).

This has been discussed before. OpenRCT2 does not have any viruses, and if someone tried to slip a virus into the coding, the OpenRCT2 devs would spot it and block it.
A spammer for suspicious "anti-virus" software popped up in that thread soon after (hence a post referencing a wall of text that was thankfully deleted by the mods), so I think the OP of the thread you linked to was probably actually another account of that spammer, paving the way for the spammer to try and scare people into giving them money.

I see that I live in an area that has nuclear power plants and the final overnight cost is $8000.
And in my state, you pay $13.7 per kWh.
Compared to coal and all the health and environmental costs it has, nuclear is a bargain (which you can actually see on the map).

Hey. I am planning on using one of my older computer since someone wanted me to host 24/7 again and I was planning on using a 13 year old Dell Dimension 2400 to host my server on and put Linux on that machine to give the computer more lives. I am wondering if leaving my computer idle will raise my electricity bill up because I had an argument with my mom saying that electronics must be stayed off all night.
Anyone who hosts 24/7, has your electricity bill gone higher while hosting all day? And what is the best green (Energy Savings) power supply that I can use for my 13 year old Dell Dimension for my server to keep the bill lower?
Look up the energy use of that Dell online or in the manual, and figure out how much it uses in a 24 hour period. Then look up the cost of electricity in your area, which you can find here:
http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2011/10/27/141766341/the-price-of-electricity-in-your-state
Use that to figure out your total costs oer day, and then see if that is too expensive or not.
There's also this:
It says that a server typically uses several hundred dollars worth of energy in a year.
On a related topic that's not related to OpenRCT2, you can see what the least expensive power plant for any area in the U.S is here:
http://www.vox.com/energy-and-environment/2016/12/12/13914942/interactive-map-cheapest-power-plant
Using the interactive tool that's linked to on that page, you can see how so many coal mines are closing- natural gas, nuclear, and renewables are much less expensive, even before you take into account the cost of poorer health and pollution from coal, especially from global warming.

Rise from the dead, o Group Park 3!
Behold, a Water Rush ride with much better capacity and little to no lines, and an improved bridge so that guests and gondoliers on Riverside Gondolas don't have to duck their heads everytime they go under it! Also, an actual station building for Water Rush and an expanded roof for the bridge!

There are two ways out of this: make our own similar open source sprites (like what OpenTTD did), or get Simon Foster to release his artwork as open source.
