Trains... Lots of trains

[SpiffyJack]

Sneak peek of 1 area of 30+  preliminary Multi-Rail Transfer Stations on map that's currently running 148 trains pulling 592 cars with total peep capacity of 3,552 on 62,030 ft of track. Scenery and themes to follow after numbers shown are close to double that of current. I like trains.

With clearance checks disabled, you can make it look like there are switches on the track, without empty parts. Just make sure to test the ride first, to make sure the trains are traveling on the right tracks.

@Broxzier I Hadn't even thought of that, thanks.  I need to start using and experimenting more with modified clearances and some of the other work-a-rounds. I've always been the type to keep my works close to vanilla with content and number bending, mostly because I'll pass many of my maps off to who ever want them to play on with no hidden tricks. On a side note, my TI has been crashing me a lot lately, frustrating.

Looks like this map will be different

Tricks performed with clearance disabled will be just the same in vanilla RCT2, the 8cars trainer had a setting for it as well. To keep things vanilla-compatible, place everything you want to hide on an element at the top, as vanilla will hide everything after a corrupt element on a tile.

Then please file an issue on Github with as much information as possible, so it can be debugged.

10-4 and thanks again

Trying to do TTD/Chris Sawyer's Locomotion on ORCT2 huh..... As long as you're patience enough for 9 mph/15 kmh trains

Starting on the Main Hub Structure

I had forgotten that one...   This will be trains and all transport, wooden coasters, water rides only... maybe

You can hack the speed faster. I had implemented a console command for it but it never got merged.

Update pic of Hub.

On its way to being a super structure housing 24 additional trains

that looks nearly as chaotic as the depot-area of the cologne main railroad station

I like it

train depot - cologne

 

sadly, RCT2 dosnt have any turntables :>

Thanks Foxy.

@Foxy I am familiar with cologne. This is (1) of 5 main hubs on this map. when i'm done it will look very different from current state. Also I'm trying to develop an actual 'switch track piece' that will halt trains and switch tracks... with no tricks... So far that has been a challenge. But from what I've researched in the code, it is possible.

The rest of the map has much is store ...

@SpiffyJack

if the code was written in java, i could help you. But C# causes headaches for me :>

I think it reminds me of C .... Pointers... pointers everywere >.<

Or, he could make the phony tracks in the opposite direction of the real tracks.

That doesn't prevent it from merging though...

It won't as long as there isn't 2 of the same track piece in the same position.

[SpiffyJack]

Interesting

Yes, and this applies to both building forward and backwards.

The conditions under which a vehicle decides to switch to a different track are:

• At least one starting* track element on the expected tile
• This element needs to have the expected base height and rotation (otherwise nothing will be found at all, and the vehicle will crash)
• The element found needs to be from the same ride (ride ID must match)
• The track element to switch to has the same base height (rotation does not matter here)
• The track element to switch to needs to be a starting track element
• The track element to switch to needs to be ordered on the tile before the connecting track element

With starting track element I mean the first tile of a track block the vehicle will go over. When traveling forward this will be the beginning of the track block, and when traveling backwards it will be the end.
