Mesmerized by this bottom-up look at parks, and I will for sure be putting this tool to use to zone in on hard-to-see areas. My love & appreciation for OpenRCT2 may never stop growing!
Hello! I have a color question - some parks I see in the community have a different overall color scheme from the 'default' RCT one, making icons/elements/etc have a slightly different shade. For example, Belle Isle seems to make everything slightly more pastel-y:
Like the park value bar is a more muted green vs. the usual bright green, the regular shovel icon is sort of a sepia rather than red. Is this a filter applied to the entire park? How do you apply that to a park?
Hi! I was wondering how y'all hide or remove tiles in a map to give it a non-rectangle shape? Like here I'd like to make it so that the sand tiles don't show up at all. I tried (with tile inspector) either hiding or deleting Surface elements, but it didn't look right
Finished my Diamond Hytes park! Whenever I think back on discovering this game and falling in love with it (early 2000s, single PC household, my siblings and I divvied up the RCT1 scenarios but they dropped off around Aqua Park while I remained true to the end <3), the most nostalgic feeling for me is that sense of wonder when unlocking a new scenario and getting to explore a brand-new world + make it your own. And the scenarios with kickass prebuilt rides and big, bold landscapes really amplified that feeling for me. The OG Diamond Heights feels like the earliest instance of that, primarily with the awesome experience of watching and listening to Agoraphobia/Claustrophobia, but also by showing us early-game examples of the breadth of design options you have (dueling coasters, moebius coasters, multiple stations, etc). Anyway, I tried channeling that sense of wonder into this custom map, making a reimagined Diamond Heights (with all the benefits of OpenRCT2) that would blow my inner child's mind :)
Labor of love, with plenty of bouts of creative burnout, but I'm pleased with the final product! I can't seem to upload the park to RCTGo (too big? It's a beefy file at 25MB lol), but I'm in the process of releasing it on NE designs. If anyone is interested in experiencing it in action in the meantime, though, I've put some videos here: Diamond Hytes playlist :)
Above-ground snippet of a Flying Roller Coaster I made in Diamond Hytes 😄. Using OpenRCT2, cheats, tile inspector, collisions, +...
Hadn't used this coaster type much before but am becoming a fan, I like how many track pieces are available both up-side-down and right-side-up. Not surprisingly extremely nauseating though. This is one of the busier areas of the park, maybe at some point I'll renovate and give everything a little more space, it'd be nice if the big loop was visible the whole time rather than be so closely tucked behind the train station. Or maybe c'est la vie haha
Also, one of the custom scenery sets I use has some fun rock objects, so I played a bit with those and attempted a few caves as underground entrances - I like the overall effect, though I couldn't quite get the mouth of the caves to look round, so if you look a little too closely, some of the spots where the rides "enter" the caves kinda look jank. But probably also c'est la vie 🤔
Hope y'all enjoy!
Come book a stay at the lodge! Attempted a giant face, could probably look better but I'm happy enough with it. Just about done with my Diamond Hytes park, hope y'all enjoy :)
Agoraphobia, reimagined as a Hybrid Coaster, from my Diamond Hytes park. My first ever 11+ Excitement rating!
From a reimagination of Diamond Heights that I'm calling Diamond Hytes :) This is the waterfall-overlooking segment of my take on Agoraphobia as an OpenRCT2 Hybrid Coaster
They're doing a residency in my Diamond Hytes park :) the venue was feeling a little Twin Peaks-y, so I leaned in and gave it some Black Lodge vibes with the black and white chevron on the back. Hope y'all enjoy! Underneath the hood, the guests are riding a 3D Cinema that is themed to look like a concert hall (thank you OpenRCT2 Tutorials for the great video on this: Stadium Seating - Upgrade Your 3D Cinema - OpenRCT2 Tutorial)
Finished off a central concourse & small ride area, with a subtle rainbow aesthetic :) this is from a long-term OpenRCT2 reimagination of Diamond Heights I've been working on, hope y'all enjoy!
