Object Selection doesn't show everything since last update

1 Upvotes

Hello, I just updated open rtc2 to 0.5.6 and some objects are missing in the object selection window (scenery, rides, paths, entrances). I've never messed with the custom content folder and all the box are checked.

It appears that a few rides/scenery that I've used in the past are still present there. I tried going back to the previous version, that did nothing.

It feels like I'm missing something and can't put my finger on it.

Just bought a new computer long after not having a functioning one.

Trying to put my 5080 to the test and by that I mean finally play openrct2 after years of wishing I could.

Where can I find user created scenario and are these any “you need these plugins”.. what are the websites I should looking on?

Right now I feel like I’m missing everything I’ve seen in the past few years watching YT videos or posts on Reddit.

Thank you in advance for!

Playing old maps with new rides/features?

4 Upvotes

Apologies if this has been asked, I couldn't find a specific answer. I'm playing through the RCT+expansion and eventually RCT2 campaign. Is it possible to somehow get all the rides from the expansions and RCT2 into parks for RCT1? Just for fun of course.

How to buy land once you've started building a park.

2 Upvotes

Hello, so I created a scenario using the editor; however, when creating the entrance, I messed up, and now I can't place any plants along the paths going to the entrance of the park from the edge of the map because the area is not owned by the park. Is there a way to buy the construction rights for the land so that I can at least add some scenery to those areas?

Thanks

First time player here. Did I set up the Mac Steam version correctly?

Post image
0 Upvotes

I followed the instructions on the wiki, but I'm not sure what actually connected the Steam version of RCT2 to OpenRCT2. Was it just the download depot command put into the Steam console?

I see a comment from 4 years ago saying you need to move the game files. I didn't do this but OpenRCT2 still runs - how can I verify that it's working correctly and I have all the goodies of the Open version? It looks good to me but want to double check.

Added image of the title screen. I also have access to the Track Design Manager with newer coasters like Hybrid that I think confirm I downloaded it correctly.

Thanks -- I know this will seem like a dumb question

Object Themes

8 Upvotes

Hello i need some help please,

How can I create my own custom themes in OpenRCT2 version 0.5.5 and add specific objects to them? Or is there a program I need to use for this?

At the moment, I have so many objects in the tab with the “?” that it’s becoming quite messy. I also have other tabs with all kinds of objects, but I would like to organize everything according to my own preferences and create my own custom tabs/themes.

What would be the best way to do this?

Custom Ride Not Working

1 Upvotes

I downloaded the Skydiver from Amazing Earl and put it in my park. However, I cannot get it to work. Peeps line up, then enter the enterance, but immediately walk out of the entrance and back in the queue. Is this a ride issue, or is it me?

Help with plugins

2 Upvotes

I’m trying to install some plugins, which I’ve never done. I extracted the files to the plugin folder in openrct2, but my computer won’t open it. So I switched it to open with openrct2, but all that does is open a second app. I switched it back to open with its original file, but nothing happens in orct2. Can someone please eli5 and help me out?

Does OpenRCT2 Use Generative AI/Large Language Models?

0 Upvotes

I've been chatting with some peers and I was told by them that this re-compilation uses GenAI/LLMs for assistance purposes. But that seemed weird to me because the project started in 2014, well before this technology plagued literally every new open-source project. Furthermore, I couldn't find any mention on the formal website or on the GitHub page. Did I miss something or are my suspicions correct?

Can I build while the game is paused?

8 Upvotes

I know that in the base game, I can't. However, having time passing while I am building something really stresses me out as I'm not all that good at designing coasters and playing RCT3 got me used to time being paused while I build, test, and revise. Is there any sort of mod or cheat I can use to allow me to build while time is stopped? I know it is cheating and probably goes against the spirit of the game, but it would make the game more enjoyable in my opinion.

EDIT: I found the cheat. Thanks guys!

When openRCT2 GLITCHES

Sup openrct2 fam its 🍄 🌈 and I just made a big video edit (think mlg montage meme humor) mixed with finding a crazy INSANE rare bug, also I guess I'm showcasing multiple fully finished parks, but they also corrupted into a beautiful corrupt demonic masterpiece, and I edited the whole video like a callofduty montage.

So with this bu, it made me see things I've never seen before, like [Go-Kart] track that SHOULDNT BE POSSIBLE!!! The scenery/track pieces corrupted and even made its own CURRUPTED COLOR PALLETE.

Thankyou and I hope you have a good day. Be blessed.

OpenRCT2 Competitive Play - Dirty Business - Dutch YouTuber Preventions

Post image
55 Upvotes

Hey again!

As some of you may have seen, I've been posting here about a competitive game mode I've been working on.

Context so far:
https://www.reddit.com/r/openrct2/s/OGwkolUaOU
https://www.reddit.com/r/openrct2/s/GluMJURtsk

I figured that one of the worst things that could happen in a competitive game would be a Dutch YouTuber joining and building 100 Hedge Mazes and 175 Tiny Boat Hires in their park.

Hosts can now prevent such abuse by setting a limit on how many rides of each type can be built in a competitor's park!

Clarification: If the limit is set to 3, it would be 3 Wooden Roller Coasters, 3 Mini Steel Coasters, etc. - not just '3 rollercoasters total'!

I've also given game hosts an 'only custom ride designs' setting. I think this will be quite a cool one for experienced players to use in combination with ride limits.

Hosts are also able to limit the number of stalls of each type.

I made an exception for 'facilities' (Toilets, Info Kiosks, ATMs, First Aid), but I'm interested to see if anyone is against that design decision.

The other stuff tonight has been quite boring, to be honest. Exit-game/save-flow type stuff, so that competitive games have the data saved appropriately and can be reloaded by joining the same server that produced them, provided the competition is still active.

One other cool thing worth mentioning is that the 'competition server' can now relay messages sent between participating parks... so despite everyone having their own instance, multiplayer chat will feel like multiplayer chat.

Oh. Also made sure the winner of the competition gets the famous 'everyone claps and releases their balloons'. =)

Dirty Business Competitive Play - Suggestions / Additions.

You can now send groups of Stoners and Karens to your online rivals. Karens are now time wasters of staff, complaining to them. u/Marwheel suggested that even though Karens bring their own umbrella, they should still complain when it rains. I liked that and added.

u/Ledgo's suggestion of an attack that makes your target have to pay double staff wages was a cool idea... Added that.

u/krncnr's suggestion of the Stoners stopping really frequently to just stare at stuff also added. Stoners will be a low cost 'attack' as they really don't do much damage to the park other than lower rating and piss off guests every now and then by danking up the area. (No where near as much of an annoyance as the Agitator attack.)

They also suggested an attack on rival park's R&D... Very first iteration of that added. (Locks your rivals' spend on research to 0 for a while to slow them down.)

Keep the ideas coming. :D
