[Ping! Share your view with other players]

Ping! allows players to capture the attention of others through exploiting the extra viewport feature.

Players interact with a simple UI that creates a viewport for a specific player or the entire server.
This feature has an adjustable cooldown to prevent spam.
 

A versatile and invaluable tool for every server.

Instructions:
Players access the Ping! UI through the map button.

Then choose to send a Ping! to a specific player or the entire server:

Whola! A viewport shows off your new roller coaster or displays an issue that requires other players attention.
Clicking the red locate button scrolls the players entire screen to this area.

[Refurbish Manager [Fully working!]]

Refurbish Manager allows players to charge the best ride prices by observing the age of attractions in the park.
It consists of a window that lists all rides and allows ride filtering.

The main feature offered is a button that quickly refurbishes all rides in the manager's list.
Activate this feature carefully as it can cost a significant amount of money. It ignores rides that are under six months old.
Refurbish any specific ride through clicking the corresponding list item.

Open this menu through the map button:

Technical:
- Shops are automatically filtered out.
- Transport rides are automatically filtered out because there's no reason to refurbish them.
- Crooked house is filtered out because it cannot be refurbished.
- Window remembers its position.

Known issues:
- Window not re-sizeable and cannot disable resizing.
- Glitch regarding checkboxes which results in offset hitboxes.
- Sort selection cannot be remembered due to API.

If the MSRP column feels cheatsy to you, I will publish a second version without it on request.

The plugin is available in its completed state along with source code.

Enjoy

[Update website with clear and concise information]

A few suggestions from the perspective of someone who knows nothing about OpenRCT2 first time reading this website:

I really couldn't figure out the extent to how much OpenRCT2 changes RCT2. Basically I understood this: OpenRCT2 Fixes crashes, bugs, and has quality of life changes. But when I read "expanding the game with new features" I questioned if this was a new edition of the game with tons of balances changes? I couldn't answer that question reading the website.

The FAQ could have a few more elements in it. The home page shouldn't just describe what RCT2 is, it should describe what OpenRCT2 is.

It's extremely confusing that there are two websites (.org and .io) and I think only one discord for them. The openrct2.io layout for the quickstart page makes much more sense because you can see all the steps and it has screenshots so you can see what the options menu looks like.

Consider re-wording the following to work on your website, I eventually found it under the introduction of the Github repo. This describes really well what OpenRCT2 actually does and the extent it does it.

Quote

OpenRCT2 attempts to provide everything from RCT2 as well as many improvements and additional features, some of these include support for modern platforms, an improved interface, improved guest and staff AI, more editing tools, increased limits, and cooperative multiplayer. It also re-introduces mechanics from RollerCoaster Tycoon that were not present in RollerCoaster Tycoon 2. Some of those include; mountain tool in-game, the "have fun" objective, launched coasters (not passing-through the station) and several buttons on the toolbar.

The only thing this is missing is something like this: OpenRTC2 intends to keep the game accurate to the original. However, a minor gameplay change has been made to how minor rides stats age.
(the change I'm referring to is: "regarding ride age: 1.5* < 5 months and 1.2* < 13 months. For non-openRCT2 it says +30 <5  months and +10 < 13 months."

 

Thanks
