How does that work?

I wasn't expecting this to be released today (I only found out about the new version yesterday). Its nice to hear tower rides and custom names/icons are supported!

[rctwizzkid]

now all we need is a tutorial in english... i love the idea of to types of tracks, dasmatze; you can finally put a verticle lift on your eurofighter

[Ckef01]

Aah, the new CTR creator, waited a long time for this, finally my own icon/names, thanks alot for making this importer
God thanks that I can a little bit german..

[bigb7965]

- CTR-Rides: Creation of TowerRides activated

So does this mean vertical lifts on coasters?

[Ckef01]

^ I guess like a freefall, so you can make your own car on these tracked rides who actually are flatrides (but since you can decide the length they aren't..)

[azanderz]

Do you know anything about if we can expect the Custom icon guide in english ?
and how to mix tracks together ?.

Open the scenery file that came with the download (in the additional folder), go to icons, add your 64x64 icon, install the CSO, go to Style/Themed/CTR_Icon, copy the style.common.ovl and style.unique.ovl out of it, copy it to the place where your BahnDaten.txt is (then delete the CSO folder if you want) and write "Style" where you have to define the icon of the ctr.

I hope people will stick to the style of the icons which the game has. Track goes from upper left to lower right, you can see at least the front car and the background is transparent. Please keep this style and do not use text, colorful backgrounds, logos and stuff. I know I did that too at my CSOs but let's keep the custom rides clean. It'll look much better.

In the german version the keyword is "ZusatzTrackTyp" (AdditionalTrackType). Open a BahnDaten txt, press the write txt button (the second from top of the column) and it adds all missing keywords. But first go to options and select that you have RCT3 with addons. Then it adds that nearly at the end of the txt (after the comment) because it's a feature that only works with addons. But there a heavy limitations. both track types mustn't contain pieces with the same name and their splines mustn't start where the other ends. So Wild Mouse and Mini Coaster wouldn't work I guess because there splines seems to be identical.

I was looking forward to this; It just my bad day seem tons better

[SSSuperShaggy]

Awesome! To bad I don't have any idea whatsoever how to did this stuff.

[Atem]

I have a feeling a n00b like myself wouldnt be able to do anything at all?

[darkrider66]

So does this mean vertical lifts on coasters?

No, but it is now possible. If the new CTR Maker allows us to combine 2 different tracks, we can use a Wild Mouse and Extended to make vertical lifts.

[Tawm]

Tried combining track5 pieces with track13... The trackpieces show up in game in the trackpiece list, but they aren't usable... hmm!


Edit: Okay, successfully combined both sets of track. Very weird stuff going on though. Still no vertical lift, and no gentle slope.


^95 Degree drop followed by a dive loop. No vertical lift though :\


^No gentle slope. and....Straight flying?

The Mini-Coaster doesn't have a vertical lift, does it?

DasMatze

[tomm.]

Cant you combine the mini coaster 95* drop
and the wild mouse coasters vertical lift chain and use all of the extended pieces?

[Cyclone1001]

O.K. thank you. Me shall be hasing it soon.

DasMatze

I feel stupid now. It doesn't. I'll redo it with the wildmouse track.

I've combined track3 and track15, so 4D Coasters can have the big smooth drops with the arrow track, which is what i've ALWAYS wanted

Not unless you can combine 3 different tracksets.

More findings


The pink line is the track15 (4D Coaster)
Green line is Track3 (Vekoma etc)
The blue line points to where these trackpieces "join" and the speed of the ride drops instantly, almost to a dead stop. Any way round this?

[Cyclone1001]

EDIT: I figured it out!

[DasMatze]

There's a bug in the new version. If you extend your txt files with the write TXT button, the keyword which decides between km/h and mph will be deleted. So if you were using km/h (like I was) your ride will be three times as fast as it should be if you don't add the keyword by yourself.

DasMatze

Okay thankyou


Edit: Any progression with using Splitting Coaster capabilities? Or is that still a no-go?

[Krakatoa_Coo]

there is a vertical lift in the steel spinning track, right?
