djbrcace1234 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Hello all, many people lately have been asking me about how I made my wave pool, well, by following this guide, (and Dmaxsba's Waterslide Tutorial) you can have a nice, clean, working water park. So what is needed to make a wave pool? 1. 8cars version 1.32 2. Amazing Earl's Swimming pool 3.Anything else you want to include to make a better look to the wave pool. If you do not have AE's pool, here it is: AE-SWIM.DAT *Remember to save before using any hacks or suffer from losing all progress. STEP 1: we need to make ourselves a pit for the wave pool, like so. Keep in mind I'm trying to make mine look nice and presentable: STEP 2: Now to get the water over my diagonal pieces. To do this we have to use 8 cars "Zero" clearance option so the back pieces will be apart of the actual water. This step can be skipped unless you want nice looking sides. After done with zero clearance, make sure to restore them. It should look something like this to end with: STEP 3: place the Swimming pool ride on the water like so. ^ STEP 4: Go into 8cars and find the pool. After that, you MUST change the track type to Crooked House. Click the "make Invisible Tab" on the left hand side, and click okay. For a reference, you can use this screen provided below: If done right, it should look like this: Keep in mind this trick makes most rides invisible, but Diagonals cause Error trappers. This trick used here can make many customs flats rides, custom coasters, Etc. STEP 5: Well, the principal idea is done. You got rid of the station, but the entrance huts are still there. How do we get rid of that? First, dig a hole at least 15 feet down, or 3 RCT squares. Now, paint the land under the huts a different tile color. I'll choose green in this instance. Next, we take a typical base block, and place it on the colored tile. Also, place two track pieces under the huts like so. *Make sure the track is part of the same ride, so both pieces are under the same name. Name it Dummy track so we can find it, and delete later on: STEP 6: Next we go into 8 cars agian. Under the Misc. tab, find Map object manipulation and open it. Follow this screen and press okay: After pressing okay, go back into the game and it should look something like this: STEP 7: We now need to go into 8 cars and make the dummy track invisible. This can be done by just pressing the "make invisible tab we did earlier to do this. Also, take a piece of base block and place it under the green massive tile. One below the top. STEP 8: Go back into 8 cars and go back into Object Manipulation, and lower it back down from the original height. (this being -50 to type in) If done correctly, it should look like this: Raise up the land, and make the quene line, and all should be well. If you're having troubles making the huts invisible, I recomend checking this topic out as well: http://www.nedesigns.com/index.php?showtopic=20618&st=0 Happy swiming all.

braztaz Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Great tutorial, djbrace. I'll be sure to try this out sooner or later. Just a question: What are the stats of the wave pool? You know, excitement, intensity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmaxsba2408 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 ^ Since the track type is that of a Crooked House the ratings would be based on that just like when you make a water slide. This is where the SOB trainer can help get the excitement up to where it belongs for such a ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dotrobot Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 To make the invisible huts invisible. Would you need the full tile blocks or can the 1/4 base blocks be used as well? Awesome tutorial! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djbrcace1234 Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 I would go with the full tile blocks just to be safe Dotrobot. And braztaz, Dmaxsba is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoastn07 Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 When you say in step 7 to place a block underneath the massive green tile, what do you mean. I've been able to make the track invisible and have lowered the land back down, but the huts are still there every time. Could you show a picture of what you do after you make the ride invisible?

EastCoastn07 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 8 cars doesn't seem to want to make my dummy track invisible for whatever reason...I'm assuming that's what my problem is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djbrcace1234 Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 Go into 8 cars, go to edit rides. From there check "make invisible permenant" Select the main color scheme and click okay. it should work. If not, I'll try and post a better picture for it.

EastCoastn07 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Does 8 cars not like Windows 7 because I'm doing exactly what you're telling me to do, but the track is still not going invisible for whatever reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coupon Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Windows 7 hates 8 cars... sorry dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoastn07 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Does it also hate Windows XP Mode? Because I just tried to make the track invisible in XP mode as well and still no go. Is there another version of 8 cars that I can use, I'm currently using 1.32? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djbrcace1234 Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 It should work fine on XP though because that's the ideal running system when RCT2 first came out. There is a set of trainers on page 13 in the offical RCT2 help thread. Sorry for all the problems. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10ryansmith Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Windows 7 and all version's of 8cars hate each other. Switching between XP and 7 is also not a good idea because of the saving issues. Atleast it is on my computer. 8cars and Windows7 just dont mix at all.

Coupon Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 if you have a old computer that works, you can install RCT2 on it, they you can do that and get a flash drive to transfer pictures to a computer with internet...

EastCoastn07 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 If I was to send my park to someone, would you be able to make my huts invisible for the one ride I have in it so far. It's really important I get it done or else the ride is just going to look silly. I would greatly appreciate any help you could offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
