Nice one XD
You'd make a good shot at 120x120 landscaping with such a trick.
I kinda dig this deconstructivist approach to the game! Definitely try saving, it would be cool if it worked so we could view it in game.
If I remember correctly when saving the game and re-opening that save it opens just fine. No glitches. I had this happen once or twice previously:
The red panels and brown/peach textureless slopes are the wooden (default style) path supports for sloped path. The game is displaying the supports correctly but is showing the path as some other path hex bit.
The glitch seems to be about mapping sprites incorrectly.
It could be an insertion or deletion in the file that bumps everything forward/back some spaces - the game goes to look up what sprite to display for "diagonal upward slope inverted coaster" and somewhere between there and displaying the results it grabs the wrong one because it is looking too far up/down the list of sprites. This would also explain color variation - the game goes to pull "red tile" from the palette and because everything is shifted over X spaces it grabs Teal instead.
Interesting potential there because it implies that objects like path supports are colorable independently.
Could also be a display issue where the game thinks the viewport is somewhere it isn't, i.e. all tiles/track pieces being displayed as though we're in View 4 when we're in view 3.
I did this when I cloned half of a red house multitile object into bushes, then deleted the remainder of the house.
I was able to get some similar strange effects messing with landscape tiles in RCT2 - changing the tile height to an odd number or the tile type to something outside the normal range. I'm not sure if that's the same as what was done here.
I'm a bit late coming back but I finally got around to glitching and then saving. As ][ said, it wasn't terribly exciting but the edge of the map was shifted over a few tiles which I thought was a little interesting. It might be fun to try to find some other interesting methods of altering the map to make a surreal glitch park.
