But once they're copied into paint using the "Open with" tool accessed by right clicking on the picture file, you can save them as JPEGS into your documents.

Paint.NET doesn't recognise 'SCR1.PCX' and can not open the file

Yeah, that...

I think, seeing as I've broken up for Christmas, now is a good time to showcase a coaster. Thus, I shall. With the speed of a Formula 1 car but with the thrills of NASCAR, here is-
(Image removed from quote.)
TEST TRACK, a compact steel looping coaster. This one was an attempt to create a ride with a theme besides the original ones, using only the components that came with the game. It's primarily themed around racing, with a pitstop-themed entrance, sleek blue and purple trains, and a focus on speed and twisting transistions.

(Image removed from quote.)
Here it is again, this time from another angle. Just in case you're wondering, that tall structure coming out of the entrance represents the track's control tower. There's also a small tunnel underneath the curve which threads through the loop, which leads to the brake run.

Just noticed this, it looks very cool. Speaking of Christmas I will add a Christmas themed ride to GTM Land soon.

I would call unrealistic vertical gs but then I'd have to argue...
Anyway, well done with the low lats.
Now how about getting some custom scenery to spruce up the station

Thanks! Although admittedly, I don't really like using custom scenery, apart from a few exceptions, like the Pepsi Machine that functioned like a drinks shop. Can anyone provide me with a link?

Use RCtool and edit the .xml and add your own sprites.

Wait, people are building coasters again!?

*insert robosmiley here*

Now, to make it into a Hyper-Twister...

GoldenFox93 · « **Reply #648 on:** December 18, 2010, 03:23:40 PM »

Looks good James! Reminds me somewhat of El Toro at Six Flags Great Adventure

Also, did you already see Test Track below? :D

FOTEPX · « **Reply #649 on:** December 18, 2010, 03:25:10 PM »

Yeah, It's cool, lovin' your style.

Anyways, that coaster was meant to be added to a competition, but all the other entries have 12 exitement or something daft, so I scrapped it. But it will be entered...

In Hyper-Coaster Scenery-spammed form.

GoldenFox93 · « **Reply #650 on:** December 18, 2010, 03:27:06 PM »

Thanks! For some reason, Steel Looping Coasters seem to be my favourite types of ride to build, alongside woodies and B&M Coasters.

And no Hypertwisters for you ;D

YOU CANNOT GRASP THE TRUE FORM OF MY HYPER-TWISTERS!

Believe it or not, the scenery spam is only approx. 10% done.

Music for comp:

That looks good too, even if it's the type I most regularly see in this thread! :D

In fact, you could say that our last two designs were almost contrasting in size

Virus Bomb · « **Reply #653 on:** December 18, 2010, 06:10:23 PM »

my attempt at a mega lopper. I could have used a trainer to actually make it 200ft, but i didn't and it's chillin at 195ft. I'm pretty sure it would be more exciting in real life....

GoldenFox93 · « **Reply #654 on:** December 18, 2010, 06:15:04 PM »

I love the realism of your designs, Virus. I particularly like the transistion from the Loop to the interlocking corkscrews!

But I wonder if you do actually get lions in America?

Hey Guys, is it possible, to add custom songs to RCT2?

madman3 · « **Reply #656 on:** December 19, 2010, 06:23:12 AM »

A little project I started

Mine trainz r awesome!!

loopers are cool. The scenery in the entire park is only about a quarter done, the park itself is about 1/6 done.

Yes, its that woodie from before, new scenery and each lateral support beam is handplaced, every single one, one by one.

another shot of the woodie

One last shot of the woodie

Yes, from Locomotion and RCT 1 or any other .dat music files.

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #658 on:** December 19, 2010, 08:25:48 AM »

hmm... Is there any program where I can change my .mp3's to .dat's?

SteveM4 · « **Reply #659 on:** December 19, 2010, 08:28:19 AM »

None at all.

.dats are as old as building realistically in Stock.
