  1. Not that I'm aware of, but with the cheats menu you can easily change it, but it doesn't set it in that way, you'd just need to hit that button occasionally. To get around the "mowing" I use that "scrubby" looking terrain, the one that looks to be a mix of brown and green.  :)  Just a suggestion.

  2. I've seen mention of "plugins" around here, but didn't know there were any, so I'd have to say no. I have quite a bit now of the more common custom scenery that get mentioned here and came with OpenRCT2, but until this specific instance, nothing has caused any issues for me. Worst case, I'll delete the park and/or make a new one. Obviously that doesn't "solve" the problem it's just avoiding it. I give it a try every so often now, but get the same result.

    I tried your save, but I had no crash or anything, it just removed the maze without trouble.

    Could you provide your build string? You can find it in the About ‘OpenRCT2’ window. There is also a button there to copy it. Additionally: what is your operating system?

    Opened the game up, and it did an update, I've copied the build string. I opened that park again, and got the same result when I tried to remove the maze.

    Edition    Windows 11 Pro
    Version    21H2

    OpenRCT2, v0.4.0-74-gb08c87c (b08c87c on develop) provided by GitHub

    Hope this helps.

    You need to put the scenarios and object files in your user profile’s OpenRCT2 folder. To get there, simply click the red toolbox -> Open Custom Content folder. Then put the scenarios in the `scenario` folder, the objects in `object` and the track designs in `track`.

    Oh, by the way, I restored the UCES site as part of my RCT2 website archive project. (I managed to track down MidwestBoyInLA as well.). You can visit it here: https://uces.rctspace.com/index2.html

    Gday,

    I'd never heard of this UCES thing before now. I took a look and downloaded both the installer/setup and the Halloween scenario. It wanted to install things where I don't have anything remotely related to any form of RCT, but when I gave it a path to install to, it claimed I don't have enough disk space, claiming a negative number in the petabyte range. I currently have a few terabytes of space free on that drive, so I have no idea what went wrong. Tried more than once too.

    Any suggestions ?

     

    Never mind, I opened the folder it installed to and move the folders to my where my RCT2 install is ..... Like I should've thought of doing in the first place.  :)

  5. I watched Marcel Voss's video about the "Beheaded Roto-Drop", and thought that was weird. I did one in the current park I'm playing around with and yep, it sure is weird. It has better stats than the Skydiver Ferris Wheel nearby.  :)

    Not really an issue, as it's simple to make one and give it a try yourself.  :)

    Also to be able to expand or reduce the map size in all four directions rather than just the two.

    I'd like to see resizing in other than square as well, but I suspect that my require a fundamental change to the game engine. I'm probably wrong though.

    You could always just mark a not-square area of a map by making things "Unowned".

  7. Gday,

    I was just logging in here to either delete my post or see if there was a response. I was getting the game crashing if I tried to open the options menu on the load screen. I re-installed the launcher just to be on the safe side, and for whatever reason, it's all working fine again.  :)

    For clarification, what I meant above was that the desktop shortcut I'd been using for ages, DID NOT start the launcher as usual, but went straight to launching the game. :)

  8. Gday All,

    Just a couple of minutes ago I went to launcher OpenRCT2 via what I assumed would be the launcher. It opened the game straight away and above the selection options, there's an orange bar saying "update available". This opens the browser. Is this what's supposed to happen now ?

  9. Gday All,

    Map size isn't the max size, but what used to be the max size (254x254) minus 3 tiles (If I remember right). I like the large maps, they give heaps of room for custom tracks. My parks are for fun, no as a "business", so there is no money involved. In this park some of the tracks are pre-builds, a lot are pure custom for that map. I frequently use one cheat for ride creation, "lift chain on any track piece". This has meant faster (8Kph) water rides, and so on. It also allows for things like upward spirals, vertical lifts, things like that. Purely just for fun.  :)

    I do find though, that large maps mean that you will frequently get the "Guests are getting lost or stuck" message, even with a straight forward grid pathing. I suspect this is due to it taking too long for guests to get where they want to go. I assume this is due to the limits of the AI and game engine, this isn't a complaint though, it's a fact of life with this game.  :)

    I hope some will find this post interesting and maybe even grab the park for a better look.  :)

  10. Those things mentioned certainly aren't "errors" in my opinion. I forget when RCT was originally released, but it was certainly before complex AIs for games were around, let alone useable in this type of game.

    There's a lot of things I think are missing or could be different in the game, but I for one wouldn't consider their lack as errors. But then, that's just my opinion.

  11. Just thought I'd see just how massive a 999x999 landscape is.  :) I put a Mine Ride that runs around the entire perimeter, with all land owned. It's HUGE !!!

    17km of track and at ~53kph it takes around 14 minutes to complete a circuit.  :)

    I don't think that's a very practical size to be honest, given that guests whinge about "getting lost or stuck" because it's taken then too long to find what they're looking for.  :)

  12. Gday All,

    I know the launcher is an independent project, and not a part of the OpenRCT2 project. Does the person who created it look in here occasionally ?

    It's just that there are times when the launcher just sits with the "Play" button greyed out and doing nothing else. I have no idea if this is it having trouble connecting to the update server or what.

    It's not too frequent, but still occurs.

    Does anybody else have this happen ?     Launcher Version: 0.0.7 x64

    It usually sorts itself out in a few hours, but today it's been like this for most of the day.

  13. Gday all,

    For those who want to remain as true to the concept of the original games as they can (I have no issue with that at all), you may want to consider just one cheat, if nothing else.

    Chainlift on all track pieces.

    This can make a dramatic difference to many tracked rides, especially those that just seem to be way too slow. It has meant that you can do a variety of different things with many of the rides.

    Yes, sure, you can do this also by changing ride types. But I find that this cheat is much simpler, as it just puts the chainlift button on all construction windows, and you don't have to use it.

    Obviously this is just my opinion, but it's allowed me to create some (in my opinion) great rides.

    Anyway, enjoy the game in anyway you want, it's meant to be fun after all.  :)

     

  14. After reading today's forum posts, and seeing what Gymnasiast posted, I updated and loaded the park with this issue. All looks good for now, and I'm well aware this whole venture is a "work in progress". It sounds sucky to keep saying it, but you lot are doing a great job, I for one appreciate the effort being put into a non-profit game.  :)
