OpenRCT3?

[dchambersohio]

Just a question, is OpenRCT3 being considered? Also, could someone ask about this on Github, too lazy to make an account on there lol.

This was already discussed in the forums. Simply: it's too much work to even consider that while ORCT2 is in it's current stage of development. Also the devs are volunteering, so not only working on this game but then another one would basically eat up all their time and money

Not much time/money would be spent as people could work on it a bit as they please, but, RCT2 is easier to convert into a new format as it's much smaller in scale and written in a 'translatable' language

Still, there is no plans by Intelorca for this right now if not others will do it instead, like Krutonium said in a reddit post

Your best bet is to get the ball rolling yourself - Learn Assembly, and C/C++, start, put it on GitHub, and announce it in SimCity related subreddits. That's how IntelOrca did OpenRCT2.

OpenRCT3 seems a bit useless while Planet Coaster and RCT:World are just released. Also the approach of OpenRCT2 was to decompile the game, this will be significantly harder because it was not written in Assembly.

As far as I'm concerned, the reason we don't need an OpenRCT3 is that there's so much that would need to change that it would be easier to start from scratch than to clone the original. I can't think of anything I wouldn't change about it.

I bought RCT3 when it came out. I thought it would be a expanded version of RCT2, sort of like RCT2 was to RCT1. Boy was I not a happy camper. The thought of basically re-learning everything had learned stopped me in my tracks. Some of the features were pretty cool like riding your own creations. I think I messed with it maybe? three times and returned to RCT2 and started downloading others' scenarios and learning how to expand my RCT2 abilities in constructing parks.

Think how much RCT2 is out there both from the standpoint of those of us addicted to this game, all of the many and diverse parks that have been created and the thousands of rides and scenery pieces that have been created by hundreds of very talented players not to mention the considerable work already done by the devs (kudos to them) on ORCT2 and the future possibilities of this game, why would you want to dump it and start over.

I was thinking about just a cheat menu, but OK. I see what all of you guys are getting at.

[Broxzier]

You can't just add a cheat menu to something... There's no source code available, the closest you can get to it is by using a memory editor hidden in a trainer, but nothing ingame.

If you want to have RCT3's cheats active all the time, just make a family of "cheat peeps"

[X7123M3-256]

I don't see the need for a cheat menu in RCT3 - most hacks used with RCT2 are either included in RCT3 already or unnecessary in RCT3 because the game engine is more flexible to start off with.

[imlegos]

Who needs ZC when like 90% of RCT3's custom doesn't have hitboxes?

[YoloSweggLord]

In fact there are CS sets that are just the default scenery with collision detection disabled, such as DazMatse's instant jungle.

[X7123M3-256]

RCT3 has the equivalent of ZC as a built in cheat. I remember riding my rides to make sure there were no low-hanging supports in the path of peep's heads, because it's quite easy to do that by accident when intersection tests are disabled entirely.

[imlegos]

It's not really a cheat, so much as it is altering internal settings.

[YoloSweggLord]

Isn't that basically what cheats do?

It's a hidden operation that expands game limits, therefore I'm calling it a cheat.

[imlegos]

Cheats are generally inputed using some secrect, removing clearance in rct3 is done by modifying a peice of code

[YoloSweggLord]

Yeah, the secret in this case is a peep name. You're not modifying code.

[imlegos]

There's no peep name for clearance disabling.

The closest we have is a soaked name that allows you to build walls like they could be in the first 2.

[YoloSweggLord]

...oh, my bad, I thought it was full ZC.

If cheats have to be activated by entering a cheat code, I suppose the OpenRCT2 cheats don't count either?

No it isn't. It's built into the game and can be enabled via a configuration file. There's no need to patch the code (actually, I can't think of any cheats for either game that required this, except for that April Fools joke someone on NE did).

Ctrl+Alt+C

[YoloSweggLord]

That's not a hidden secret legos. You can even activate a cheat button in the options menu.

In my opinion, I feel like RCT2 as well as RCT Deluxe offer a much more advanced economic system than RCT3.  RCT3 was more of a sandbox type game, whereas in RCT2, the scenarios were more economically based. That's what I like more about RCT2.  Also the scenery looks much more well done when you are finished in RCT2.  Just my opinion.

[imlegos]

I'd second the "RCT2 looks better then RCT3" opinion, just look at Flux's work, both Fluxpark (TTP only) and Westwood Resort (NEDCS WB) look miles better then either Palm Spring resort or the industrial one (Can't remember the name), and both used pretty much just custom objects.
