I was reading some posts in here about rctmodified and maybe its time I should answer.

Magnus is right, everything which is done in rct modified can be done without it (except the changing of the land).
yes you can sink the ride bases, just look at indiana jones from me on how to do it. yes you can make the ride huts invisible (just look at my tuts). and yes you can change the station in a normal track by clever merging and hacking.

still it makes verything a lot easier so I understand why people use it.

don't get me wrong, I'm not agains the idea of rctmodified, I encourage it. not because I like the things you can do with it now, but because I see a lot of extra options which still have to be done.
for example we could change the g1.dat in a way so we can make snow melt. and a lot of other things.
The oppertunities and endless with the g1 modifier and winhack, and now we are slowly figuring out how the rct2.exe works we get more and more options.
The main problem at the moment is the people who still are rusted in old principles. not that it's bad, but they see every progress we make as a distroyment of the game. now I wonder what there reaction was 3 years ago with the 8cars trainer ... it was just as wonderfull as all other things. and the thing which struck me most is the g1 modifier exists already from the LL time, there is an LL version also only you cant load in other images, and after some time when rct2 was released someone made the g1 modifier for rct2 and accedently put in a load function for images also. this was about 4 years ago. only now people are going to use this tool .... the same is for winhack ... winhack was used by people like ja227/parkitect to find out what the trainer has to do but other people just didn't want to use it, now they do want (at least some of them want).
The progress in the game just needs some time before people get used to it...thats always been so and will always be.

now about a trainer which allowes you to change the g1.dat
it will be possible cause in the rct2.exe I believe string which describes where the g1 is can be changed so for example you could name it to g2.dat etc.
so you could make a utility which changes this.
but thats not what I want. when rct2 is open the string is still there, and I still hope we figure out at some point how to change the g1 while playing. that would enable us to make a day night function in rct2 (well kinda) cause I believe the color palet is stored in the g1 also, so you can just darken that.

but this is all just talk, atm we have a large problem, theres noone who can code in the rct community which I know... ja227 kind of retired. darkfire is to busy and doctor J is working on tpb3d just like john will (thats what hes called right?)
and people like the humble programmer seem to be gone from the earth.

so we could all hope some utilities will appear but someone has to make them, and I dont have the time to learn coding ... (altough I want to learn it).

Yeah I agree Levis..

The thing with RCT Modified is it just saves me a lot of time, next to the fact that it would be awesome to see those future functions you mention.. I really hope there will be an easy way to change g1's in-game.. I'm not a programmer too so I don't know if it's possible..

I also agree people over here are somewhat conservative.. I guess it just takes time, or an awesome park that uses its advantages so they NEED to try it..

Anyway, I'm going to build on my RCTmodified park some more

SF

It's OK. The architecture is nice, but that tall building is way too disproportionate imo, and it looks untidy. I like the awning building thing the most.

I love it.

I agree. I think it looks fantastic.

What's with the lack of windows in that building? Is it a prison?

^Yeah it sure does look like it right? I sure do want a lot of windows in a rest room so everyone can watch me take a shit.

It's lovely freak. Great atmosphere.

^Well, I wouldn't mind being able to see where I'm taking a shit or where I'm aiming when I go to the urinal. And if you know anyone whos tall enough to see onto the second floor above the doors, then you should seriously tell them to phone Guiness up for the world record.

^lol.

Restrooms do have windows higher up sometimes to get the shit smell out of them. I guess if you want to make your s that realistic. Looks great though, colors aren't that exciting but it is done well.

^^
^ Maybe there is windows on the longer side of the building (that are up higher). :' />

excuse the glitch but

I dont like the transfer tracks, doesnt seem functional.

ewww, map edge coaster.

I'm not a big fan of the giant grey block building - is there some way to make it a little more visually interesting?

As for the station:
1- get some banners or something on there to support the roof, which is currently floating as far as I can tell.
2- sink the entrance/exit to clean up the look a little.
3- If you're trying to make the roof look solid, perhaps you could raise some grey tile path/blue queue line underneath the roof track?

@trav - Since when has electricity not existed? :' />

trav doesn't like modern things.
Anyway, thanks for the comments, guys

Oh and Pineapple, what Intamin said

small teaser:

Looks awesome! But the scale is a bit too small, I think...

Nope that's perfect Petrol, keep it up.

It upsets me on how there is so much talent out there but no one ever seems to make nice scale parks. Wait, that gives me another idea...
