Ask the Experts / 8 Cars graphics glitch

Hi everyone,

Found your forum a couple days ago and was hoping someone could help me with a couple issues.

I have been trying to teach myself how to build custom supports with my coasters, but so far have had lots of issues.

One of my biggest problems is when I zero clearance and try to build my own supports, I can not seem to line up the different pieces correctly... Sometimes they look like they are right on the mark where I want them, but from another angle they are way off. Any tips would be very appreciated! I will search through your forum to see if I can find some answers some more, as I am sure this has been discussed.

My second problem can be seen in my attached screenshot, if I can manage to post it correctly here...

These "ghost objects" appear after using 8 cars to zero clearance. Thanks for any help!

You'll get "ghost" objects pretty much every time you try to zero-clearance large scenery objects. It happens when the object you're trying to place passes over any other large scenery object while in ZC mode. Tricky at best to try to avoid. So....don't ZC large objects.

You can remove the ghost objects by placing the same object, at the same rotation, on the same spot. When it's there, just place it and shift one more above it. Then, remove both.

As far as custom supports...join the never-ending group of people that struggle with them. Best thing? Trial and fucking error (just remember NOT to ZC the full tile support objects) because as every layout is different....so are the supports. So, there's no general rule for them.

And, welcome to NE. Don't make K0NG angry.

And just to add to that welcome, don't worry if you make K0NG angry, cause usually when K0NG gets angry, K0NG gets banned

Thanks Kong and Louis, I truly appreciate the help and welcomes. I was so happy to find a community of RCT2 players that are active still, although after looking at many of the parks created by members, I can see I need a LOT of work before I even think of submitting.

I am not known for angering people, Kong, Im just a laid back mellow type guy.. So I think everything will be fine.

Louis, I have already learned several things just in the past couple days of looking around, so I am excited to get to work on a new park!

Cheers guys!

Don't say that! I see some potential in your screen. Be sure to post some screens every now and then, we can help you.

Yeh just submit, submit, submit. Carry on finishing things off and improve as you go. So many people never finish everything because of a constant need to better whats already there.
