  1. And here weeee gooooo!

    I added a building near the canyon entrance with an info kiosk and restrooms, a scrambler ride, and I made a nice bridge from the canyon entrance over to the center part of the park.  Added a few custom objects, but added ones I thought others would definitely use. I also placed a first monorail station on the other side of the bridge (no building yet), and connected a single-wide path to the other entrance (this can be modified/added to as needed).  All this is not the best start, but I was somewhat lacking inspiration after I built the bridge.

  2. According to the poll, Broxzier seems to have made the executive decision to allow generic custom objects, i.e. don't add objects that will just be used once in the park.

    I'm a thinkin bout stuff.... Thoughts?  Finished vision i'm thinking: Is the center arch sweeps to level each side. It would have a bell shape to it and keep the entry completely open.. of course picture the proper supports as well.. and it could be functional too if somebody liked the idea.59d0678f5655b_2017-09-3020-53-34.thumb.png.4103ea3963d34ebc609ddb88a0a84d17.png

    Man it looks cool! The track choice is perfect, reminds me of this:

    I'd like to see what you mean by extending the center arch though. If we could make it look like a realistic arch bridge, that would be super cool. I also totally agree with Deurklink about having a train going over.  We could hack it so the train turns around on the one cliff and goes back over to the other (if you want a single track over the bridge), or you can just have two tracks over the bridge.

  5. Hey all. I searched around for this and couldn't find anything, but is there any way to check the number of objects in a park in OpenRCT2? You could do this in vanilla using 8cars, but I can't run vanilla on my computer. I'd like to know how close I am to the object limit so I can plan accordingly.

    Thanks!

    I thought those cliffs, being originally marked as "danger zone" would be off-limits to rides or something.  

    I already plan to throw in a purple-colored coaster and a observation tower operating under upward launch mode reaching up to the "ceiling". Yes, I tested that one and it doesn't produce an intensity rating of ultra-extreme :D.

    We could just build a space elevator though.... =)

  7. I like most of what you said, but I'm not sure about having roller coasters entirely on cliffs... I would think simply interacting with the cliffs in some way would be better. I've got a great idea for a mine coaster that goes in and out of the cliff wall, kinda like this coaster here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4hdQ_jS6ko

     

    Have we decided what we're doing with custom vs. non-custom objects?

  9. Did my picture not show up? But yes, very similar to what you had drawn.

    EDIT: Sorry, I just realized you put an actual monorail in.... duh. Does it stay the same elevation throughout the park? I can't tell from your screen. If not, I would suggest doing that.

  10. OpenRCT2 is free, and has many more features/improvements. I doubt anyone would choose this new game over OpenRCT2 given a choice between the two. The problem is making everyone aware that OpenRCT2 exists and is super awesome. Classic is great for mobile, but I will stick to OpenRCT2 for the foreseeable future.

  11. Hmmm. What about a monorail moving around the main part of the park something like this? I think it keeps a lot of the ideas we had at the beginning, puts a station near (but not too close to) each entrance, and provides a nice way around the park.

    @saxman1089I'm glad you were able to fix the problem in your park so everything works properly again.

    The bad news with the exit parade is your guest numbers drop.  The good news is that the average happiness of the remaining guests is much higher, so the park rating will shoot up :-) 

    I was working on the park last night after this, and I've now got a 999 park rating with almost 3000 guests. So this was huge for the peepability of the park! Thanks for all your help!

    Also, @hpg if you need help removing the erroneous entrance entry, let me know!

    I moved the entrance in sandbox mode, but I think I did wind up removing the previous entrance with the tile inspector as I couldn't find another way to remove the old entrance.

    Unfortunately I am on a Mac, and I actually just deleted my Windows partition last night because I needed the space for a video project while my desktop is out of commission. I don't suppose there's any way to do this from the console in ORCT2 is there? I might just have to go ahead and reinstall Windows tonight after I can offload that footage.

    Thanks for the detailed walkthrough. That is indeed very much appreciated.

    If I can figure it out, I can try to fix it for you if you want. Let me give it a try and I'll let you know later if I can get everything working right.

    Looks like @G_Force has joined the dark side, Welcome :D ... I've used that Technique for a while also but its not the cleanest look most the time

    Come to the dark side. We have cookies!

    But in all seriousness, cool to see you over here @G_Force! Group Park 7 is starting soon, you'd be a welcome addition!

  15. @Broxzier thanks for the instructions! I'll try it when I get home from work. I have not compiled the project, but I should be able to figure it out hopefully. If not, I'll be back here to bug you some more... =)

    Also, note to others. DO NOT USE THE TILE INSPECTOR TO DELETE A PARK ENTRANCE (I'm assuming you had the same issue, right @hpg?). That's what I believe caused this mess for me originally. Make sure you delete using the sandbox mode. I was using an invisible park entrance and couldn't figure out how to delete it by right clicking... last night finally figured out that if you lower the ground beneath it, it has wooden supports that you can click on. The tile inspector is great, don't get me wrong, but it's a great way to royally screw a park up as well.

  16. @zaxcav

    So it does look like this might be an original bug with moving the entrance in sandbox mode? That coordinate set sounds like where it was placed originally before I moved it....

    Would you or @Broxzier be able to point me to somebody who might be able to help out with this? 

    EDIT: Also reopened the original issue on Github to see if anybody can help me out there.

  17.  

    But in all seriousness, I'm liking it a lot! I say entrance on the lower right of the screen. We can put a nice ornamental bridge over the river to the square on the main path.

    This is getting good... Lets see some sketches,  easy peasy ... ALL cool ideas so far... photos work well for input...map01.thumb.jpg.1df4df71b68d796e555ec178c502eecb.jpg

    Are you an engineer by any chance? I love the "NOT TO SCALE" at the bottom. =)
