Original Looping Coaster/Corkscrew Coaster cars from RCT1

[DigitalMan]

Hey guys  

Lets just say if I wanted to take a break from trying to build realistic rides and coasters in ORCT2 and I wanted to go on a bit of a nostalgia trip with the features of ORCT2, would it be possible to import the original looping coaster cars and corkscrew coaster cars from RCT1 into the ORCT2? 

I know that the RCT2 versions look like actual Arrow and Schwarzkopf  trains, but theres something about the RCT1 cars that I just love...

Currently not, but there are plans to incorporate as many RCT1 features as possible, which most likely includes the replaced ride vehicles. Don't expect it anytime soon though.

Yes. You just need to create an object file using the original sprites (with the new object format, I think it's possible to load the RCT1 sprites directly if your OpenRCT2 install is linked to RCT1 - otherwise, you need to copy them from csg1.dat).

 

However, RCT1 rides had fewer sprites than RCT2 uses. Each RCT1 sprite will have to be used twice in the RCT2 object file, and this does cause some graphical issues.

So basically the only way to really make this work it to recreate the ride vehicles from scratch?
