If you see something you like, just download the park-- then you get all the scenery that's with it. That's the easiest way to get new scenery and what I do to keep up. You can also follow the objects section on NE and the object channel on the NE Discord but even still I just end up downloading the parks to cover my object needs.

@AmusementAcademy8 күн бұрын
If you download a park with the file in it, that'll give you the ride. Most people don't individually download objects-- it's just easier to import with a park. I'll plug one of my own and suggest you download this one: www.nedesigns.com/park/4163/h2h8-semifinals-allegheny-adventures/

I think the object database is just kind of messed up. I know it hasn't been maintained for years and it'd be a fairly labor intensive thing to keep up with at the rate new objects are coming. Downloading the parks is way easier-- I'd also recommend downloading the workbenches that NE members post every so often. Usually it's a great way to get all the current useful objects in one spot and organized in a nice way. Those are the best for starting a sandbox park and than customizing to your liking.

Thanks for the review! Now that the dust has settled I enjoy looking at the map over your shoulder again. Note that trav did most of the archy in that strip of architecture you highlighted in the beginning, and TheThrillMan did bits there as well. I can't take much credit for it - perhaps only the wall weathering you pointed out is coming from me. Trav and TTM did a great job. The cave I built on deadline day in about 3 hours all in all. It was a bit messier to implement than I hoped. It should've been deeper down, in hindsight, to make the cut-away show less other crap.
@AmusementAcademy17 күн бұрын
Great work all around and a nice team effort when it all feels very homogenous. I'm sure with more time you could have fully built out the cave and made it feel a bit more finished, but I did appreciate what was there in the first place.

For one thing, I wish RCT2 came with building options like that. You know, with detail similar to that of the Sims. Also, the idling/custom peeps are what I wish they added in. Like, animatronics. I'm shocked Chris Sawyer thought of niche Japanese shuttle coasters, but not the goddamn animatronics.

This park build is incredible!! Just wow 😍 One of my favourites so far. All the movement aswell as the music really gives a thick believable atmosphere. They implemented the coaster perfectly through the dense well constructed buildings. Only nit-picky thing that I have is, I wish they didnt cut off so much of the water. Would have preferred seeing the beautiful bright bluey waves in all of my peripheral vision while I'm inspecting the park. The black void really takes me out of the immersion. ⭐ 10/10 Park ⭐

Unfortunately H2H has maximum park sizes so you can only use a certain number of tiles for your parks--3600 tiles in the regular season and 4900 in the playoffs. You're right, though, it would have looked very nice with an expansive sea beyond the islands.

It's all custom scenery! In this case, the path is primarily a brown dirt texture with at least 3 or 4 different types of semi transparent texture pieces to give it that rough look. Then to make it functional, there's invisible path on top.

Deano's plugin update - this plugin was controversial because it hid the map and we didn't ensure that the map worked well if users didn't install the plugin. It's by far the most complex code of any I've done so far - it's using the viewport's current focus and zoom to decide which mist to fade each in-game tick. thanks as always for the video Brian!
@AmusementAcademy26 күн бұрын
I noticed it didn't fade away until you were looking at it, which I found to be very clever. I like the idea behind it though perhaps it took too long to fade away for some. But I'm happy you could see the rides and tall structures poking through the clouds prior to it all fading away.
@SSSammyRCT26 күн бұрын
the basic principle of the plugins is fairly simple! anything that you as a user can do (recolour objects, add or delete objects, move rides, etc) you can ask the plugin to do. the actual execution is a different matter entirely! great vid as always Brian

Why is it important for the coaster to be off the ground?
@AmusementAcademy28 күн бұрын
From a realism standpoint, you're not going to see coaster track directly on the ground since you've got to get a footer and a support or track connection underneath. You also have the train itself and the upstop wheels and chassis to consider. So from a realism standpoint, we always go one off. There are certainly exceptions to this rule, but on the whole not too many!
