Custom Scenery Exchange / Dive Machine Trains

  • X7123M3-256%s's Photo

    My 8 across dive machine trains are now completed. The download link and screenshots are on my website. The direct link to the DAT file is here. I'll post the links to the 10 and 6 across versions when they are completed, rather than making a seperate post for them.

     

    I've posted the download link in a couple of places already, but I thought I'd make a post for them in case anyone hasn't seen them yet.

     

    There are some issues with the draw order during inline twists - at one point in the sequence the front car ends up drawn behind the back car. This only occurs with one camera angle - the other three are fine. I've tried adjusting the z-indices of all three cars, but everything I tried made it even worse - I suspect the issue is caused by the unusually wide cars and the relatively tight inline twists. No glitches occur during vertical loops.

     

    Splashes were left disabled, as I had a couple of responses saying it wasn't really worth enabling them, but I kept the water brakes on the sprite.

     

    EDIT: I've discovered some more drawing bugs so I'm going to make another effort to fix them, possibly by adjusting the spacing between cars

     

    EDIT2: OK, I've tried messing with the spacing and the z-indices, but nothing will fix these drawing bugs. By far the worst issue is the cars drawing in the wrong order on diagonal slopes - the only real solution is to avoid them unless absolutely necessary. The bugs on inversions aren't as noticable because they don't persist for long. The file on the website has not been altered, so there's no need to download it again.

     

    EDIT3: I've just noticed the drawing bugs are present on the original vertical drop coaster trains as well. They do not go away even when spacing is increased to absurd levels - I believe it may be an issue with the game itself. Can anyone tell me whether they still occur when running under the original game (not OpenRCT2)? Also, I mistyped a single color entry on one of the default color schemes, which made the restraints brown instead of green. Is it worth releasing a new (conflicting) version of the file just to fix this?

    I don't think we need 3 topics for each ride. I'd suggest making a single topic to pool all your released rides, where you can edit new downloads and pictures into the first post. And in addition to that, please continue sharing interesting features, cool models, whatever else.

    OK. Is there a way to delete a post? Then I can delete this one and just create a post for all the rides. Otherwise I'll post the three dive machine versions here, and then I'll have a single post for everything after that.

     

    I created this one because the last one I created was asking specifically about the splashes, and so it wouldn't necessarily be clear that it also had the download links.  I know I've made more posts about this ride than I normally do.
