O.O
Is there a download? This looks awesome
1. Is this a hack or a new .dat?
2. In either case, is this compatible with the default game?
3. If yes, would parks with such long coaster trains be suitable for sharing?
I don't think that station is long enough.
2) The hack is compatible with the default game (or at least it should be, I can't actually test it myself so YMMV). However, you're limited to 16 cars. Longer than that could result in segfaults if opened in vanilla, because it loads the train into an array with only 16 elements.
3) You can share parks using this hack, subject to the above limitation.
That probably looks fucking awesome snaking around the track!
I can't even fill a ten car train with peeps, let alone a 64 car train!
I used cheats to fill the train - it would take a very long time without them.
(The limit now is that you can't have a dropdown menu long enough to select 255 cars. I think I'll have to leave the limit as 64)
This could be of great use for fantasy parkmaking or using trains as scenery.
What about a really long snake type dragon finding its way through the park?
Can you change it to use something other than a drop down menu (which I'm probably guessing is either a no or a 'sure, if you wait 15 months or so')? The launch speed/lift hill speed would probably work well.
I could probably use a numeric input like the launch/lift speed, but I'm not very familiar with the GUI code, so I'm not sure how to go about implementing that. I'd also prefer it if the interface is left unchanged when the cheat is off.
Hahahahaha!! This is amazing!!! I agree with Faas, in that I'm sure many park makers will find some clever and creative uses for this kind of hack.
I was thinking of doing something like that - but why would it need 255 cars? That really is an awfully long train - it takes up most of the layout. I'd set the limit at 255 if it were easy to do so but I don't want to spend too much time on it when 64 is already absurdly long. If someone wants to try and increase it further later, they can.
