A.J.

Taking a quick peek tonight, and I'll play it tomorrow. Oh boy! EDIT: Missing Object Data. MGR2-something or other. I have an original RCT2 install, with no expansion packs. Did you use an expansion pack? There are a lot of players here who don't use expansion packs either. EDIT THE SEQUEL: Could you post a saved game of it? I'll run it through ParkDAT, clean out the WW/TT stuff, and make it a scenario again. It might work, and you won't have to make the scenario all over again.

The username "mcjaco" has negative 20 points... -snicker-

Revised with all the images justified to the bottom - Also, a Schwarzkopf Looping Coaster comparison -

I'm not sure what to think, actually. Are we able to see how many points all of our users have?

I know! I hate it! Especially when it happens to me! I try and make it a priority to get at least three or four people in a contest/challenge before I officially start it and give it a deadline. It only works a small amount of the time. I once moderated design contests on another forum, and the same kind of thing happened.

If we could find the way to tell if the game's been altered, we can A) warn players that "WE'RE WATCHING YOUUUUU" and B) judge a finished scenario based on how much money was made at the end, how many rides are operating, park rating, etc.

Glad to hear Ripsaw Falls is open again. Now, about those blasted torture devices they've fitted to the logs...

Good call. The only problem I have is the use of trainers. Whether we say yes to trainers or not, players will use them and attempt to hide their use. One simple "huge tram" button would instantly let them meet an objective.

Screamscape is reporting that BGWfans is reporting some crazy rumors that are supposedly true. Stay with me on this one. I'm confused already. From Screamscape: Screamscape Link BGWFans Link BGWfans says that the "unknown height" is 300 feet. My take on this? No. I don't believe it for even a quarter of a second. An Autobahn, which the ride is supposed to be themed to, does not launch vertically to 300 feet in the air. Plus, the coaster would dwarf Mach Tower.

Use auto-supports on a single section of track. Make sure that "Catwalks" are selected, and that "Handrails" and "Wide Supports" are not. Also, make sure "Enable Supports" is not selected. The catwalks will appear on that section of track. Delete nodes so that the catwalks left over are each made of four nodes, making single rectangles. You can take those rectangles and stretch them to make platforms and walls. You can repeat the process to add more. However! Make sure "Clear Previous Structure" is deselected! If you have "clear previous structure" selected, all the catwalks you've already used will be deleted!

This one any better?

I'll play it! Pick me! Pick meeeeeeee!

My question is... WHEN are they going to put in the provocative octopus theming in?

Woo-hoo! A Sunday! That means I don't have to miss any (forsaken) classes to get down there!

Of course the group decides to move forward when I can't be of any "physical" help...

I did the survey - even though I'm all the way down here in Orlando instead of up at Penn State - with the group - where I should be!

Gotcha. I'll do my best.

It is mighty scary. RCT3 was butchered enough... Not to worry. I don't blab. With RCT3, getting a close-up of the first two cars isn't a problem. It's in RCT2 that it's difficult, because the screenshot you see there is as zoomed in as it can get. The RCT3 Goliath train you put in your example image is actually a user-created custom tracked ride. The coasters in RCT3 are actually less realistic than they are in RCT2, which prompted players to essentially re-do the coaster trains themselves. At least getting smaller screens will get my image down to 800px width.

Like this?

It's very weird - the Game Exchange doesn't force players to select a game when they upload. Thanks for spotting that, it completely flew over my head. EDIT: I just uploaded a test track WITHOUT selecting a game or track type.

It's going to take a few days to finish them all anyways. A few things - Post the finished images here, email them, or PM them? Size constraints?

My photoshop amateur skills and I would be happy to help you. I'm working late tonight, so I'll be able to start on 'em tomorrow.

Requires expansion packs...pee-shaw. I really wish I would've taken part in this. Seems like a lot of fun.

Oh, great. Claustrophobia always ruins the fun. Hopefully the (further) train modifications won't detract from the experience too much.
