OpenRCT2 Update: New Giga Coaster Track Pieces!

[@FlashFoxBox]

This open source project never stops to amaze me.

[@Shippo1337]

OpenRCT2 is amazing! only thing im really wishing for is an "undo" button

[@familybroakajonny]

@@Shippo1337Yesss PLS

[@XRM-]

@@Shippo1337 This would be very difficult to make work, I doubt it'll happen anytime soon. It's not enough just to save the last action, because some actions cause other changes. For example, placing a ride may delete scenery that was in the way - undoing that action by removing the ride won't restore the map to its previous state. Saving the entire game before any action is performed would be way too slow.

[@SendyTheEndless]

These updated track sprites could be forgiven for looking just a little bit off, and yet here we are, with them looking like they were always part of the game. Magic!

[@notarealname1881]

They really have to match the originals well to be acceptable, otherwise the transition between the vanilla sprites and the new ones looks really bad. There's been a version of this track with inversions for a few years now kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z56uemR4aNiCeZI - there's a reason it is only being added officially now.

[@XRM-]

The diagonal sloped turns being enabled without cheats is an oversight. The giga trains don't have the right sprites. However, if a smarter fallback was implemented, it probably wouldn't look too bad and it would probably be OK to have them enabled by default. Not all uses of those pieces actually need the new sprites at all. However, currently, if it is missing the right sprites it falls back on unbanked sprites which looks terrible. The way it is supposed to work is that large curves and verticals would be allowed without cheats if the current vehicle supports them, while the inversions always require cheats. But that doesn't seem to be what is happening, so it will need fixing.

X7123M3-256 you are the best! ❤ Deurklink, I love that you made this video on such a short notice, X7 needs all the kudos he deserves! I just love this community

[@AngrocSound]

Curved diagonals! That's so epic. Crossing my fingers we'll get inversions with diagonal connections. A corkscrew/roll starting at diagonal slope but ending in an inverted straight could be cool! X7123M3-256 contributions are as always nothing short of epic. Comparing what we have now to the trainers of the past is kinda mind boggling.

[@BigBrotherMateyka]

God damn I love the ingenuity, dedication, and passion of the OpenRCT2 community. I'm blown away by their craftsmanship.

[@KingJohnson1985]

i can sense a Giga Coaster contest coming up quite soon lol I already can see the diversity of entries in that. Gerstlauer, Intamin, Mack Rides all using this trackstyle, and all have some different layouts/elements to work with.

[@daltonm6276]

The updates never fail to blow my mind!! These look amazing :D

[@hoonshoons3777]

I literally screamed when I saw the thumbnail. I can’t thank enough for this amazing update! Kudos!!

[@Zemmip]

Hopefully one day we will see new train sprites for all these additional elements. All of these updates are amazing :)

[@NebulonRanger]

Likely sooner rather than later, vehicle sprites are easier to implement than track sprites.

[@jackgreen7342]

This is gonna be good. Because Im going use the new track pieces to make The Smiler from Alton Towers. Also are going to update ICON in you're Bumbly Beach Park?

[@Deurklink]

I am not going to update all my old parks, maybe just Deurklink Megapark.

[@jackgreen7342]

@@Deurklink okay :)

[@AceAviations2]

It's interesting that the Giga Coaster lacks the sprites for inversions, because as Marcel Vos has shown its has the same Inversion truck that the Corkscrew Coaster has where it negates a number of requirements. Implying that it WAS supposed to be able to invert at some point in development.

[@XRM-]

Possibly, but it may also just have been an oversight - perhaps the code was copied from another ride and he forgot to remove that part (most of the ride rating functions were near identical, to the point they have now been replaced by a single function in OpenRCT2). It would be odd if he considered giving the giga inversions, since there were none at that time that had them, and it was very uncommon then for any ride of that size to have inversions.

[@CoreyVoss]

These are amazingggg! I hope we can see these elements come for B&M style track in the future 🎉

[@gstax9640]

That’s great! Now we need these for the corkscrew coaster!

[@Deurklink]

I would love to have them for the B&M coaster types!

[@emd99]

They do look really cool. I can't wait to try them out :)

Xtreme, you are AMAZING! This is what this game needed back in 2002 when it first came out. Since I was a kid, I always wanted the giga coaster track to go vertical. You made it happen.

[@Jalmaan]

hah Xtreme is someone else, he's a NE admin, this was made by X7123M3-256

Wish the vertical drop coaster added large half loops twists and corkscrews in rct2 2002 though!

Megapark 3.0 incomming. 😂

The ride never ends...

[@meleegaming101]

It's a shame the Giga coaster trains still can't support these inversions. They're actually really, really, really good looking!

[@notarealname1881]

The giga coaster trains don't need to support inversions since they wouldn't have them IRL. The inversions are only really there for other ride types that use this track. However, it would be nice if the vanilla trains had sprites for verticals, which they don't. It should be set up so that if you are using a custom train with the right sprites, the verticals and diagonal sloped turns (but not inversions) will work without cheats. However, I don't think this is working right, there's now another PR pending to fix it.

[@claudetheclaudeqc6600]

If you have the dlc's, the taxi car support inversions (not the barrels and the 0G rolls), as it was supposed to be a train for the corkscrew

[@Themafiacheesenate]

Now that inversion stat can be used

Now that the Giga can go vertical you don’t have to worry about banana blast in your mega park

[@johanlenox]

hoooooly shit

[@johanlenox]

X7 killed it

[@CoreyVoss]

Also, does anyone know what the single rail coaster trains aren’t showing up in the game? I have the track but not the trains.

[@Deurklink]

You have to enable them in your scenario first. You can do that in the Object Selection screen. They will only show up if you enable the filter for OpenRCT2 Official objects. If you then still don't see them in the Object Selection, you may need to update OpenRCT2 to a newer version.

[@brunoavellar1740]

I have installed the latest version of the game (4.6) and don't have access to this improvement yet. Does anybody knows if its gonna be available in the next version (4.7)???? Looking forward to it!

Can someone send the update link for mac?

[@pacolibre5411]

I think the Giga coaster shouldn’t get inversions without cheats. Its natural intensity is too low for that to be remotely balanced. It should get a separate coaster type with a lower support limit like the Twister vs Hyper Twister.

[@Deurklink]

Giga coaster currently cannot be built with inversions without cheats because its trains don't have sprites for inversions. There are plans to make a separate coaster type with giga coaster track and inversions.

[@RicoStroobant]

Intamin contest coming ...
