Two-way track

Another example of what you can do with this:View imageEdit: Whoops, seems like I posted in the wrong sub-forum.. Can this be moved to Guides, Tips and Tricks?

[RuneLaenen]

I've moved it :) Seems cool to do :D

I love that two-way looping coaster :D Eventually supporting it without zero clearance would be nice for those who are not familiar with zero-clearance, but after looking at this I might give it a try.

[Broxzier]

Maybe if you save the track it would still work when you build it, didn't try that out yet.When I used 8cars some years ago I once managed to get a train from a coaster onto a go-karts track. It looked silly, very unnatural, but it's very funny to see. I tried redoing that, but without success so far.Edit: Wow, why didn't this work yesterday?View imageView image

RIP Go Kart drivers

It looks pretty cool and ridiculous. I bet you can make a bizarre park with 4 different trains on a rollercoaster.Although I'm curious as to how hard the game would crash if you did something like put Trams on a looping coaster.

Although I'm curious as to how hard the game would crash if you did something like put Trams on a looping coaster.

I'm not sure if that's possible. For trams and most tracks the ride needs to loop for it to work (end at the station), while with this steel coaster you can have the launch mode selected. Perhaps you can combine two coasters together, going to try it out now!Edit: Wow! It actually works!View imageEdit 2:This is so cool!View imageWhen you demolish the attached coaster the game crashes.

[SnowMew]

That works as gloriously as I pictured it would.

I just tried go karts on vertical track, but ORCT crashed: Unhandled exception at 0x540C6F86 (openrct2.dll) in openrct2.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000000.

[Broxzier]

It's probably looking for a sprite or animation which go-karts do not have, which then generates a null-reference exception. I noticed this with the steep corners in the screenshot above as well, the karts would do their turning animations on these.

[jensj12]

But all of these just work perfectly :DView imageSadly the water rides are too slow to take passengers with them. With the extra weight they won't get up the vertical hill (yes even those big boats will get up the hill eventually, it just takes some time...).Here the save from the screenshot above: https://openrct.net/cc/share/14/Bogus+sandbox.SV6

[Broxzier]

That screenshot made me laugh, what a mess! Sadly I can't open your SV6, I'm getting a checksum mismatch.ERROR[..\\src\\game.c:726 (game_load_sv6)]: invalid checksum

[jensj12]

You can disable checksum checks in the options. I have it disabled by default because my compact coaster save file got corrupted somehow (but with the park 100% intact).

[SnowMew]

Please stop. The fabric of the reality of RCT2 is falling apart.

[imlegos]

I'm trying to load the scenario, but it is also giving me the invalid checksum error, and i have it ticked in the menu...

[Broxzier]

Same issue here, maybe it's broken.

[jensj12]

I can load it without problems. Even without ticking 'allow loading files with incorrect checksums' I can still load it properly. Playing on UK localisation (that fixed other bugs too in the past :P ).edit: and I disabled all breakdown in the cheats menu, maybe doing that in another game before loading this one might do the trick...edit2: looks like not a single attraction has its ratings calculated anymore. It isn't even calculated for normal coasters anymore so I can't save any coaster designs anymore in that park.

[Broxzier]

So this breaks more than just tracks, haha.

Theme Park Review posted a video of the new switchback rollercoaster, so I thought I'd remake that one. Goes back the entire track after a vertical spike, switches track and returns to the station. Had to use a slightly different method, but it should work. Sadly a wooden coaster can't be set to lauched mode, so I tried both continuous circuit with and without block sections. Both happen to crash the entire game. In it's current state, it crashes the game when entering the station (just set it to test mode): https://openrct.net/cc/share/16/Switchback+Rollercoaster.SV6Still it would be great if it worked...

[Broxzier]

Can't open that file as well, again with the checksum error. Maybe it's because I do not have the expansion packs installed?Found the video for the coaster:[yt]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBw9ZlCol2I[/yt]That looks great!

[SnowMew]

It does look fantastic.That said I've always been that kind of sissy that only rode the Ladybird.

There is a button to embed YouTube videos. Clicking it reveals the magic tag is [yt].

[imlegos]

Does anyone have an answer to our problems?

[Gymnasiast]

Loading saved games with an incorrect checksum isn't actually implemented yet, for lack of a such a save. I would use the corrupted save on page 2, but the CoasterCloud doesn't seem to work at the moment.
