Ask the Experts / Kumba's Hack Tips

Hey Kumba, you forgot the hack that I (Magnus actually taught me) taught you, which is how to place lamps/benches/bins on invisible path....

Use path height markers, click them

Thanks a lot, Kumba, for this tutorial!

Hey Kumba, you forgot the hack that I (Magnus actually taught me) taught you, which is how to place lamps/benches/bins on invisible path....

^ Oh yes, I would love to know that too!!

(Richie already answered something about that, but sorry, I don't get what you mean..you may be too fast for me .)

Great hacking tips Kumba. I'm sure I'll be checking back here many times.

Build the invisible path, select 'height marks for paths' then when you try to build the benches/lamposts/bins click the number that comes up. It will build them on the invisible path.

Thanks Richie. This seems very clear, cannot wait to try it

Now THAT is handy.

Added a chapter on that, but im gona need Adix to up the limit on images by 2 more so the pics for it will show up. I also added a link to my 1.0 version of hack tips in case anyone wondered about that...

Mergeing (SoB)


Most people always ask questions about merging, and it really is very esay.

Step 1 - Put the two parts you want connected right next to each other, then zero clearance with the SoB trainer and build 1 track piece the “wrong” way in the opposite direction of where you want the track to go.

Step 2 - After you do that quickly close all open game windows (holding backspace does it really fast) to try and avoid “white glitchs”
Step 3 - Now go zero the clearance again with the SoB and build forward to where you want it to go and your done.

Note: You will need the coaster that contrals the coaster car to be set on Power lunched mode, or Boat hair mode if you want more then 1 car.

Also there is a way merging can be done with 8Cars that does not seem to leave “white glitchs”, however it takes a lot longer, and I don’t even know how to do it to be honest. A tutorial on that can be found here

Kumba take a look here: http://www.freewebs....lp.htm#53034461

for the merge trick with 8cars

Hey Kumba, you forgot the hack that I (Magnus actually taught me) taught you, which is how to place lamps/benches/bins on invisible path....

don't even remember i taught you how to do that. thanks for mentioning me in here


and this topic just gave me a new idea
thanks

what, pray tell, is going on in this hack?

http://a.domaindlx.c...esisrct/st.html

I can see what it is, and thats a wormhole hack, but I have got no clue what he is saying.

It's dutch i think. So it's nearly german.
I understand parts of it. But Kumba if you know what it is, why don't explain it here?

that hack let the train first go forward and then turn around to the other track , this is very handy if you want to make a parking for example .

the person who has made those tutorials has left the rct community

I know myself what it is.
But don't how to do it.

the tutorial is (like egg said) in dutch...

maybe i will do a translation... (if i have time)

@ Kumba: do you understand the part of merging with 8cars?

k, what I will tell you about the wormhole hack is you just build backwards on track to get it, it can be messy tho. I am not to doing this to teach people how to do every hack there is, you need to learn that by trail and error trappers.

Also I could merge with 8Cars if I wanted to.

I don't know if you understand it but here is a translation of one of the dutch tut's about it:

to let the train turn we first make a circle with our track.

Image

we remove some pieces of it so we've got a track part that goes to the left and on to the right like this:

Image

we continue with the track at the corner, now we enable Zero Clearence (absolute) and build trough the track part's:

Image

now we restore clearence and change the ride setting, we only change the oparation mode into "boat hire mode" or "lauch mode" .

this is someting you could make with this hack:

^ I learned all I know about hacking through Trappers, Glitches and Freezes...

That parking idea is pretty cool, if I understand what's going on correctly. I've never seen it before, anyway...
