@BlazingEmpireHD You must be regretting making this topic so vague, huh? You're taking flak from two sides!

Why not rename this too the thread suggestion topic.

Yup, but, at least I know I WILL get constructive criticism if I miss out on some valid details.

MMmm, it might be a little bit odd with all the "constructive critiquing" all the way through the thread. LOL  I'd think to believe it'd be better to delete this one and start over.

If you're using clearance hacks on scenery to get an edge over your opponents, NO, but, if your thing is being finicky and doesn't want to place, as long as you DO NOT use it to get an edge over your opponents, using clearance scenery hacks for tweaking is fine.

This is also vague Scenery does improve the ride ratings, so in that sense it's unfair to place a bunch of objects on the same tile, but it also does allow for nicer looking coasters.

I am vague a lot.  I tried to make it less vague in the Microsoft version.

 

Here's what I wrote.

 

 

 

Hacks are not allowed! Scenery checks, are not allowed if you are trying to get an edge over your opponents, but are allowed if you’re trying to make your ride look nicer.

Can i use a cheat to make a chain lift go 80mph for a launch?

What is this supposed to mean? Everyone playing OpenRCT2 has this feature available (unless you're playing a really ancient build) so it doesn't give an unfair advantage, unless you mean "over rides that don't use zero clearance", in which case, why not just disallow it entirely? Do you mean to say that zero clearance is allowed only for aesthetic purposes and not for track merging  or other hacks? If so, why not say so?

And what are the criterion by which the entires are judged? If it's judged partially on it's appearance, then wouldn't making the ride look nicer be an advantage by itself?

[BlazingEmpireHD]

I'm very vague. Jesus Christ.... yes, 80mph launch pads are okay to use.

 

I'll say this one more time, clearance checks ARE allowed, UNLESS they're being used to cheat. They should only be used to make your coaster look nicer. Period.

Wouldn't it be better to say that disabling clearance checks is allowed for visible scenery, but not for coaster tracks and hidden scenery (and thus stacking is not allowed)?

Is using terrain as scenery allowed?
