HeartlineCoaster's RCT2 Thread

[Hixee]

I'd go for b), but then again I don't play enough RCT for the screams to have gotten annoying yet. They still have the charm to me.

B is probably my pick as well, although some background music wouldn't be unwelcome either (that'd be a throwback to some of those old school RCT2 park showcase videos).

Screams it is.

Here's one of @CanobieFan's favourites.

Exciting news for OpenRCT2 players - a new, user created track type has finally been added to the game (OMG RMC).

Add "Hybrid Coaster" ride type by X123M3-256 · Pull Request #12110 · OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2

This PR adds a new ride type "Hybrid Coaster", which is an RMC IBox style coaster. In addition, it adds some extra wooden support sprites for large flat to steep transitions. The ride type includes...

Here's how it looks as a quick conversion on one of my older builds.

At long last, they finally got it working! Can't wait to try this out. I bet @Hyde is beside himself.

Absolutely! I had dabbled with the custom-script file that one guy created years ago, but definitely a pain to have to port in the specific version build.

So to confirm, is RMC track now a part of the official OpenRCT download, or still a special file you need to screw around with?

It's in the game now. As of a few weeks ago, back when I first tried it out, you had to be on the latest development build of the game. Don't know if they've updated with new release since then, but otherwise the dev build works great.

You can access the ride through your object/ride selection or mess around in the coaster track designer. There're actually two ride types that appear identical in the menu: one just uses the B&M track, the other with woodie track.* So when you build, it'll appear as one of those (but with the RMC trains).

But here's what you do: turn on the "arbitrary track types" cheat so you can access that dropdown menu (bottom of the ride's pop-up window). And select Hybrid Coaster track! So theoretically, you could actually build a typical woodie and "RMC it" (or wreckit ) with the click of a button!

*And depending on what type of RMC you select, you'll get either the woodie sound effect or B&M roar.
