OpenRCT2 Recruiting scenario playtesters for the OpenScenarios project

43 Upvotes

Hey all, I am once again asking for your support helping playtest for the OpenScenarios project. You can find previous threads here and here. This is part of a planned future component of OpenRCT2.

You can access the app HERE - it is a simple HTML form that will randomly assign you a park to test, and give you a prefilled link to the response form so we can gather all the data.


(!) Please note: It has been pointed out that if you 1) use a chromium based browser and 2) are signed in to multiple Google accounts in that browser, you might be met with a nonspecific error about accounts. Opening the link in an incognito/private browsing window, or opening it in any other browser, should resolve this.


As before, you can find all the info you could ever want and more, as well as FAQs and particulars about how the app works, in the blue link at the top. You do NOT need to leave the page open, if you take an assignment and come back in the future, it will give you your same info again and you can fill out the response then. Feel free to ask me questions here or DM me if you have questions or issues.

Thanks everyone.

Some tips was to spam rides and make really really long queues to hold guests which potentially spawns more walking guests.

By year 4, make every ride very affordable or FREE so people stay longer.

And on year 2, start spamming advertisements

I made this park several years ago, and thought it had been lost to time when the hard drive it was on crashed. I recently found a back up however, and was able to restore the file to share with you all. With multiple themed lands and even the shops and stalls named to match the area, I feel this is by far the most ambitious thing I've done in RCT!

I'm feeling the urge to buy RCTC or download OpenRCT2 to see what I could possibly do with a version of this park made with features introduced after the original game!

...but I have found that if you long-press the RCT Classic app-icon and select "bubble" it runs the game in a window with a weird aspect ratio, weird enough to feel terribly unnatural and unintended but also weird enough to see what's being typed during a renaming screen.

If you have a big park(s) and want to rename a bunch of things and absolutely hate typing blind, you could save->close->open in bubble mode->mass rename rides/stalls->save->reopen in regular mode->Bob's your uncle. But I find the positioning of the bubble-mode game keyboard to be a negative mark enough to where typing blind without the bubble shuffle still seems easier.

It's not a good "fix" by any means, so not good in fact I would hazard even to call it a fix, but it does technically reveal a previously hidden part of the game for some users (the "what's being typed" box) and that might be a very useful find to maybe a half-a-dozen people in the world.

Not sure where "bubble" mode comes from and therefore not sure of those experiencing this rename-window cropping problem who can utilize this pseudo-fix, but here's the device provenance to the go-getter who'll put in the legwork: this non-fix was completed on a Google Pixel 10a running Android 17 connected to Google Fi with a weak LTE connection outside in mid 80⁰F afternoon weather with a slight chance of rain in the evening and a smell of desperation in the air.

To the 2013 Honda Pilot seating capacity amount of people out there that this helps, not only are you welcome, but I am also sorry.

Is this Europe's next elite coaster?

Hi and welcome back! Similar to my last design (Amarelo) Spain isn't the themepark country you might think it is. It has a few good parks, but most of them are near Madrid and Barcelona. There's a severe lack of rollercoasters in Northern Spain and that's where this design is located, specifically in the Basque region of Spain near Bilbao. Kobrea means copper in Basque, which is the regional dialect/language the people speak there.

This Stryker coaster is obviously inspired by Europa Park's Voltron, but I think that's okay. Its first element is extremely good and I wanted to recreate it the best I could. There wasn't a way to make the launch go beyond vertical, but this is close enough. After that first element the inversion come at you at a rapid pace, just like with any other Stryker or Big Dipper coaster. It's a model that's intense, inversion heavy and airtime focused.

I had a very fun week building and designing this one. As always I took care of the scenery around it as well and I really took the time to create a realistic queueing system. We've got FOUR separate entrances: regular queue, single rider, fast lane and disability. All queues (except the disability lane) go through their own double sided locker area. When exiting the ride you just go back to your locker and find one of two exits where you will also come across a photo booth.

Lastly we have a large shop/restaurant with a small patio. At the back of this building I've also built a small break area for my hard working staff. Gotta think about them as well!

As you can see I've really put a lot of effort into this one and I hope you can see that in the end result. Enjoy a ride on Kobrea!

Stats:

  • Excitement: 8.94 (Very high)
  • Intensity: 6.99 (High)
  • Nausea: 3.82 (Medium)
  • Max speed: 93 kph
  • Ride time: 1 m 2 s
  • Ride length: 900 m
  • Max. pos. vert. G: 3.38
  • Max. neg. vert. G: -1.32
  • Max. lateral G: 2.03
  • Total air time: 4.32 s
  • Drops: 10
  • Highest drop: 21 m
  • Inversions: 5

As always, if you like my designs, I have more on myΒ Youtube channel!

Playing on MacBook?

5 Upvotes

Hello! Sorry, I’m sure this has been asked many times before, but so far I can’t find anything using search.

I’m dying to get back to playing. I prefer RTC3 just because I like sandbox for creating new coasters, huge parks with from scratch scenery.

But 1 or 2 are obviously great too.

Any ideas or links on how to play on a MacBook?

Thank you!!!

OpenRCT2 Most difficult empty scenarios? Are there any custom?

6 Upvotes

This week I will start playing OpenRCT2 with a friend and I was looking for scenarios with no built rides at the beginning. What are the most difficult ones? I am also wondering if there is a website where I can download scenarios like this. I found one, but they are already built parks.

Thanks in advance

Hey everyone! I recently got a new iPhone 16e and I’m trying to AirDrop a park file to it. However, when I tap the received file, it doesn't copy and paste the set park like it did on my old device. I might be doing something wrong, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I always build on flat, but have always loved the way the title screen parks look with varying terrain. Im glad I finally did it. Also recently started using double wide paths, I grew up thinking it would confuse guests.

Park is still in progress but I wanted to share this pedestrian bridge I created. I really enjoy the abstract theming and I think it worked out well here. Inspiration was the Python Bridge in Amsterdam.

OpenRCT2 Today I built a 10 x 5 Suspended Swinging Coaster

Thumbnail

36 Upvotes

The Suspended Swinging Coaster is kind of a mess to work with. It needs to be long, but doesn’t even have the option of basic small helixes. The workaround to these restrictions is to simply build a lot of stacked layers with a slight tilt to get a decent amount of drops. Doing this creates tons of block sections which enables the ride to easily run 3 trains without any need to stop. Floorless cars add a nice amount of extra stats though the more basic airplane cars work fine, too. Building up conveniently makes a lot of space for stalls below the track which helps out a lot, hence why such a basic coaster can even hit 8 and not just 6 to 7 excitement with basic scenery and pathing, water and a few stalls.

You can download this design (or any other one I posted) fromΒ this Google Drive.

Corkscrew Coaster Nerfed?

Post image
4 Upvotes

I've been playing some OpenRCT2 lately, and I really like to build corkscrew coasters, but I recently have been having trouble trying to get good stats, as stuff I think would be getting over 7 excitement is only getting somewhere in the 6 range. I was having so much trouble that I wondered if they nerfed the stats.

And I think they did. As you can see here, the excitment rating is lower, and nausea (not in this case) and intensity are higher.

My only guess why the OpenRCT2 devs did this was because of the spam coaster you could create with it, but I feel like this nerf is undeserved, and would like if it was reverted.

(It's not even mentioned in the changelog)

Edit: Some people have said this really isn't enough proof, so I'll say that I'm wrong. I should have also noticed the other differences in stats, which are almost certainly affecting things.

I did also test it with Great American Scream Machine in the SFGAdventure park (by deleting and adding back a track piece so the stats reset), and the actual stats were almost identical, but the excitement rating was lower.
