robbalvey Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 ^^ Very weird as I was just able to upload a zip file. Not sure why it's not working. I guess I'd try the FTP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcjaco Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 I've got the Track Packager files at home to which I'll add to the new patches/utilities/trainers section in the next day or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjaco Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 OK, so here's my next dilemma. Â Custom Scenery, Custom Tracked Rides, and Custom Rides. Do we keep it stupid and leave it as Scenery, Rides, and Tracks...or do we make it a little more complicated? Â Or do I just add a section called Custom Rides which would be anything you physically created to add to the game, not just a roller coaster creation. Â As a side note: I've emailed Amazing Earl and some other RCT creators for permission to post their stuff. I haven't heard from one of them yet (in one case I posted at a forum in November and it's still the last activity there). So I'm reluctant to post custom creations until I hear something......or I'll given them a six month window and say the hell with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueerRudie Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 My thought: Separate out the rides from the scenery etc. simply as ease of use for our members- Â If we can't directly post the custom rides content, could we put a pass-through link to their sites? I know Amazing Earl doesn't charge for his freebies (Scenery, parks or rides themselves) so I'm guessing he wouldn't mind our passing on through to his AE section of his site... Â I'm going from front to back (1-xxxx) pages redoing RCT pics as I go- there were a few 'flub' shots I've fixed so far, but working on a few of the more complicated ones over the next day or so- Â R.D.

A.J. Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) My suggestion is to get rid of the "scenery" sub-category and add three more in its place - Custom Scenery, Custom Flat Ride, Custom Tracked Ride. All three kinds of custom content have been developed for both RCT2 and RCT3. Edited March 18, 2011 by A.J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjaco Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 Custom Scenery would be any easy fix. I can just edit the current category......I'm thinking that might be the best course. Too many categories, people will get confused. Too few categories.....people will get confused. Â I might think this through for a few days.

A.J. Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) Step 1 - copy the image address. Step 2 - edit your signature. Step 3 - On the signature's first line, type , then the URL then with a forward slash before the i. Step 4 - move your Club TPR banner to its own line. Step 5 - move your text to its own line.

QueerRudie Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Thanks- Had some issues getting it there, but it does look great! Â A general question for the NL people... Who's working on a contest for NL? I'm thinking that we might want to either 1.) Alternate RCT/NL on a month by month basis; that is, second week in April start a NL contest, second week in May a RCT contest, etc. or (Much more work here) do simultanious RCT II and NL contests. Â The reason I'm asking: I've got a second RCT II challenge in progress (It's a bit more technically difficult than the first one from the 'building the scenario itself' side) and I'd like to see some pacing to the challenges. Â Also- Have we figured out who's the Track of the Week for Monday? Â R.D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djbrcace1234 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I like the idea of changing it up month by month. And even alternating between RCT2 and 3 Â And contest wise, the one I know has been abandoned, much like the Showdown for RCT2 seems dead to me as well.

QueerRudie Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Good thought there- I had completely forgotten about RCT III as of late... But then again, my head's been elsewhere. Â I'm sort of thinking that NL should be the next one in the pipeline, simply as that seems to be larger than RCT III is- however, I leave that idea up to consensus more than anything else. Perhaps a basic 'Build us a (Fill-in-the-blank) coaster using (Something Stengel has done before) Track system with (Some type of minimum inserted here) Length and (Something reasonable inserted here) for height. Your ride must feature a (Interesting thing inserted here) and a (some sort of capacity related) train operation... Â I never really thought about it- it's a lot like doing Mad-Libs... Â R.D.

djbrcace1234 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Yeah, it pretty much is like a mad lips! Â I think another poll can suffice to knowing what our crowd really owns so we know where we can get the most participation. Â Instead of just the RCT games, but also see if our users own multiple titles as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Dibs! I'll run a poll tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueerRudie Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 We need to get feedback on it for about a week or so- since the heaviest traffic for things like that will be monday-wed (According to Robb)- Once that data is 'in' we can see what to do next with it. Â Categories should include: RCT (Classic, and the add-ons) RCt II (WW and TT) RCT III (And the add ons there, too) NL Scream Machines. Â If there's a way to have 'multiple' votes for a product (As in 'Choose as many as you play) that would be best- Â R.D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many categories, people will get confused. Too few categories.....people will get confused. I might think this through for a few days.  Getting back to this. The issue I'm having difficulty with is, the Tracks category. How do we let users differentiate between Custom Tracked rides, Custom Rides, and Tracks?

QueerRudie Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 ^ Â In all reality: If we're breaking things down- perhaps using the 'KISS' method might be best- Â My idea: For all games, no matter what: Tracks: Custom (User) designed, and Original (Game creator) designed Scenery: Custom (user) designed and Original (Game Creator) designed Rides: Ditto as above. Â It might be six categories- but in the end, people could go and choose without too much effort, I think. If we were to go beyond this, as you've mentioned, it might get very confusing to the members- not to mention somebody as dumb as I am- Â Just my .03 on it- Â R.D.

mcjaco Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 I think I'll just come up with a more "descriptive" category name then. Â Always remember that the average age of people using this is going to be around 15 and 16. Easy is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
