With that in mind, I decided it was time to show the correct logo on the title screen since we already had a logo for the game picked out. Just around this time, we started making use of g2.dat, which is an OpenRCT2-exclusive data file containing all custom-made sprites. In a later PR, I added custom sprites for the Game Speed Buttons so they would look unique. There is no practical use for this speed outside of testing as it even slows down the game enough to reduce the speed of viewport dragging to a crawl. Hyper speed is so unbelievably fast that you can fail a scenario in under a minute using it, so this speed is restricted to Debugging Tools mode only. Upon a user’s request, I made it so clicking the game speed button without making a selection would cycle to the next highest speed.
The only way to change the game speed was through hotkeys, you also could not determine what speed you were currently at. To fix this, clicking on the consolidated Land Rights button in the Park window would open up a new tool where you could choose, Land Rights or Construction Rights, along with the input size.īefore the advent of the Game Speed Button. You could only buy one piece of land at a time which was a huge pain when it came to claiming uncharted territory. A text input would pop up asking for a new size.īuying land rights in RCT2 was a huge pain before. Because of this, I added the ability to change the selection size by clicking on the selection grid in the window. OpenRCT2 supports selection sizes much larger than the original game. My first big Quality of Life feature was a toggle settings for dragging the land tool around to change Surface types without having to click every single time (and risk changing the land elevation). My first small feature I added was the ability to randomize which music played on the title screen (Either RCT1’s or RCT2’s).Ī simple addition to keep track of the window size between play sessions so it’s not always a small Window on launch. Contributions 2015 Random Title Music: #1050 OpenRCT2 wouldn’t be where it is today without the extensive effort to decompile every function along with all the bug fixing everyone works on. Below is the history of my contributions and what I added to the project, excluding many of the minor bug fixes.Īlthough I’ve made a lot of visible contributions to OpenRCT2, that in no way invalidates any of the work many are doing behind the scenes. It’s kind of embarrassing looking back on my PRs and seeing many of the mistakes I made so often. OpenRCT2 was my first real experience of working on an open source project, and my first dive into pull requests and working with Git Bash. I started contributing to OpenRCT2 after I released my GitHub Pages section for my RCT2 Tools and someone recommended I help out.
#OPENRCT2 CUSTOM MUSIC GENERATOR#
DAT file format, which he used to create his RCT2 Ride Generator and many custom-made rides. I worked with X123M3-256 over IRC to decipher the attraction. Initially, RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 was not entirely popular with some fans of the first game, as the game engine and interface were almost the same asRollerCoaster Tycoon, with minor improvements in graphics (e.g.Before I started working for the OpenRCT2 team, I began working on my original RCT2 tool, the Content Browser. Reception IGN gave Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 an 8.4/10 and GameSpot gave it a 7.0/10, scoring somewhat lower than the original which got an 8.5 and 8.6 respectively. As of November 2015, while the project has not fully reached the goal of substituting 100% of the originals binary's functionality, theOpenRCT2 named port is playable and for many platforms available. The project is hosted as GPLv3 licensed open-source softwareon github and requires the original game files for the in-game graphics and sound assets. Goal is to run RCT2 on modern operating systems, fix bugs and to add additional features liketranslations. After the end of official support by the developer and publisher, a fan-made project to reverse engineer Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 into platform independent C source code, was started in April 2014. In 2011 RCT2 was re-released into digital distribution on gog.com and in 2014 on Steam.
