Ask the Experts / Editing Coasters?

I know people like Amzing Earl and others have made rides and stuff, but is it possible for someone edit elements on a roller coaster? I mean, add Immelmans and such. It just kinda makes i hard to like when you gotta make a hill and then a half twist with a loop. I know it is traditional by RCT tastes, but I guess I'm a bit more unorthodox. Is it possible to add more pieces of track to a roller coaster? Like with a patch or something?

not without changing the hardcoded parts... so it's highly unlikely that it will happen. It's not like plugging in a few custom objects. The tracks and ride types are fixed and any custom ride you see is a derative from an original ride.

So one couldn't go use a program and edit a corkscrew without changing any basic structure of the game?

that's right.
unless someone is a really good programmer it can't be done .

it might be possible to change the picture rct gives you.
so that you don't see a corkscrew but whatever - a house
still it would be (almost) impossible to make the train move in a different way.

Yea, but when you think of it, all youd have to do is enlarge a corkscrew to either a regular loop or large loop - no reeeaalll editting. But I do see the point made about it not being easy to change a roller coaster type without changing much of the game. Still, I just think it'd be really cool to be able to do that. But then again, I do see that people might get carried away with it if it became a bit too simple. Hmm. Is it possible to make Immelmans and such in RCT3 Soaked!?

Brilliant Idea but...

they need to get on with it an release the RCT2 source.

Is it not possible to get the source for RCT 2 now? Or is it extremely challenging?
