(Archive) Advertising District / RCTMASTA's Work Thread

Okay, I'll fix the entrance, but for now, a little something...
Blue Angels, the USA roller coaster. Took me a whole day to make it, hope you appreciate it

I'd say it's my best work to date.

EDIT: Okay, I added some orange and made the arch bigger. Here's a pic:

Better, or is it the other extreme?
(Pic edited because I didn't want to show some of what was in the shot)

Comments welcome.

I Agree! you have improved alot. But you need to work on your supports though and I think you should work on that fountain. But your getting so much better though!

Except for the epileptic colours the coaster looks pretty interesting actually. If you'd submit that it would get a higher score than anything you've submitted before (NO DON'T SUBMIT IT YET). Supports are horrible by the way. If you have problems with doing them, just don't do them at all. Custom supports are so overrated...

Second screen still look like a concentration camp, but with orange roofs instead. Nice, you added colour to where the guest can't see it. The arch doesn't look good, why not make an actual building/gate instead? I'd say just start over.

I dislike the colors other than that I can see a growing line.

NO DON'T SUBMIT IT YET

It's a full park not a design but I understand

Supports are horrible by the way

You know what, I was looking at SFSF just the other day and going, now why don't MY invert supports look like that?!
Took me most of a day to make them btw. I could try the normal support look, but since RCT seems to oversupport I may block a few. I'll post a pic soon.

Um chorkiel, what do you mean by "growing line?" A little clarification on that please.

As for the epileptic colors, should I make the brakerun catwalk gray?
Something like this:

And I didn't even save the orange stuff anyway so I guess no loss. I was thinking on some colored awnings on the edges, maybe some blue/red and white. 'cept I can't find a quarter tile awning on the geewhzz bench anywhere?

EDIT: Nevermind, I think I found an overhang that just might work...though I'm still not sure what to do about the fountain...here, have a look:

I think maybe instead of crazy paving it should be tarmac? Though I won't be able to change the park entrance's path type, so it might look awkward...
I'm not sure...any thoughts?

-RCTM

so you're just swapping colors... the problem is the structure itself. it is long, boring, and undetailed. imagine seeing that in real life? I would think I am in a warehouse somewhere, not at an amusement park.

^Yes, make some variation in height, trees, etc. It's too symmetrical and boring.

For the first screen I think the catwalk looks too big, use woody track instead for it. Again, the supports are really weird, especially that grey thingy sticking out to the station. And work on your foliage here.

Okay, I'll keep trying until I get something that I think looks better. Maybe add some posts, something other than a flat roof...
Here, how's this?:


EDIT: ah dang Luigi, you posted before I did. But anyway...
I haven't added trees to the outside yet, I'll do that after I finish the surrounding area.
Ah eff didn't even think of that *facepalm*
Thanks Luigi. I'll post a pic...:

screen 1) Dislike a lot.
screen 2) I liked the first version better.

*bump*

Been doing some work in RCT3 lately...
 Kilauea Bay Water Park - RCTMASTA.dat (3.2MB)
downloads: 187
Requires Soaked and Wild.
Also working on a full-size theme/water/wild animal park.

Also, for anyone that is interested, I've been working on a B&M Dive Machine Design, and was wondering if anyone would be willing to help landscape the project. I'd really appreciate any help. (If you're interested, and at least decent at landscaping and foliage, PM me. )

oh yeah, one other thing...
I entered RCTGo's Build It! competition, it's the "Apocalypse" entry.

And that's about it. Bye.

Bye.

Hey, does anyone know the .dat names of the landblocks? since the bench I've got only seems to have a couple dirt and rock landblocks.

Just a fyi, use the datchecker tool or just search object names with Parkdat (by opening up parks that have the objects in it and finding the dat names). Unfortunately I can't actually help you out anymore as I'm away from home at the moment.

Yeah, I'm trying to find the grass landblocks, and can't seem to find them anywhere, not in gw's bench, h2h5 starter, lousi's bench, bg's bench...
Can anyone find these? or do they have different dat names than the sand, rock, and dirt blocks (all of which have the "XXBQRK" prefix followed by a number)?

Try "1K Grass Block" and "MGLandblock"...

Yeah, I just found those Kumba blocks a couple seconds before you posted that...thanks.

Just one more question...
How do you lengthen trains in RCT2? Since I'm trying to make a 6-car Dive Machine train and it's like my RCT is hackproof or something...it just won't let me do it!

Anyway, here's a little snippet of the ride as a 4th of July bonus:

turn. off. the. grid.

Looks like improvement to me, as long as the elements aren't too isolated.

Well, have I got a big disappointment for everyone...
I got a new computer a couple days ago
though when I tried to turn on my old computer to transfer files, it presented me with a nasty BSOD. It said there was a virus or corruption.Though I'm a bit suspicious of whether or not this is genuine or generated by a virus. Either way, if I can't find a solution to get my projects back, they're all cancelled.

Gonna try and use a Linux Live CD to get the projects back. Should work, in theory. Unless the hard drive is really bricked.

If I get the projects back, that request for the landscaping help on Ikran still stands if anyone is interested.

No I don't think a restart would be a bad thing if you lost your files.
