maximum rides 256

[hispacoder]

Hi! 

Is the limit exceeded 256 rides ?

thanks!

[X7123M3-256]

No, the limit is still 255 rides

Does this include stalls/shops or only literal "rides"

[imlegos]

Stalls are counted as attractions.

You could find the answer by just playing.

The limits are hardcoded into the .sv6 save format. We will be unable to remove them until we switch to a new save file format.

I heard object limits and ride limits (in the scenario creator) are also limited by this.

Although I bet the UI would not support someone picking every single theme group (which I would like to do, more variety for mah parks)  so the devs would have to expand that too. Can hardly wait for .sv7 =P

iirc SV7 was taken by a different RCT2 mod. Perhaps .OpenSV6?

Wait what mod? And I'm all for OpenSV6!

[Krutonium]

I forget what it is called, but it basically changed some stuff like adding new terrain and stuff.

[X7123M3-256]

Could it have been RCTModified? I don't know if that changed the file extension though.

[YoloSweggLord]

I highly doubt it. It looks like all rctmodified did was change the g1.dat file. In fact the download page on RCTGo says that to uninstall it you only need to replace the modified G1.dat file with your backup.

[X7123M3-256]

That is all it did. But it's the only other RCT2 mod I can think of. I'd be very interested if there was one that got as far as changing the file format.

This is a bit of a bump, but was FreeRCT the program you were talking about?

[X7123M3-256]

FreeRCT is not an RCT2 mod nor reimplementation. Aside from the name, it is about as closely related to RCT2 as Theme Parkitect is (although it does use a 2D engine instead of 3D rendering as in Parkitect).

[YoloSweggLord]

I realized it was a standalone game rather than a mod. I was wondering if maybe it used the .SV7 save filetype.

[X7123M3-256]

I don't know that you can actually save a game in FreeRCT yet; I had a brief browse through the source and couldn't see anything that looked serialization related. Development on that project is very slow; it never really attracted much attention, even before OpenRCT2.

I couldn't find anything either, but it's the only thing I've found in a while that seemed like a likely taker of the .sv7 format.

it dosnt really matter, what the suffix is called.

Just dont encode it. If it is possible, to add a custom save-file, make it readable (like XML or Json) or at least give us a hint how it is compressed, in case it has to be used in hex.

... most companies are like: Hey you got a problem with your save-file. Now have fun guessing what compression we have used.
