24-January 04

Just hit the object limit in Hersheypark, unsure how viable it is to actually finish without stripping out more than it's worth or waiting for the OpenRCT2 new savefile format. Anyone have any tips or thoughts on getting past this point? I can share the file if anyone wants to take a peek.

Swap 1h for 4h objects everywhere you can, most notably walls, corner poles, and support columns.

Make sure you use walls instead of quarter locks for buildings, especially large ones.

Use full tile blocks over 1/4 tile whenever you can.

Looks great navalin! But yeah, swapping 1h for 4h objects, being more efficient with path and foliage, things like that. If you need someone to help with objects I can definitely do that.

Fifteen minutes a day, this'll happen in 2020!

What

fifteen minutes:
- open LL
- open 4Cars
- open Codex
- open save file
- rotate map seven times
- place one bush
- delete two bushes
- spend remaining time debating raising one corner of one land tile

and that's fifteen mniutes

Well, at least that's better for Liam than 15 minutes of Open.

Fifteen minutes:

- open OpenRCT2

and that's the fifteen minutes.

Mythologica, 100 years.

Now that half the park is nearly done, I think I'm around 40%.

I still got to decide whether or not adding surroundings in the bottom right.

Vermillion update

July 12th 2020 Status: It’s been an entire year since last update, so uh: here’s an update.
Spoiler
First - Huge, huge shoutout to Milo for assisting with the glitches on the Vermillion Escape map. With the in-game ride operations back - seems to stem from a negative-money glitch - I can possibly get into SGM and attempt a fix for the black hole. It looks as though half of the entire first row of map squares was shifted over by up to three squares in the savedata and the black hole sits at the edge of that section of corrupted tiles; if it can’t be repaired I may just have to live with it.

Second - Most progress in the past year has been on non-park maps, primarily Soleil Springs (waterpark map.) Sadly I think if this ever makes it to release it’ll be way outclassed by all the NCSO waterparks out there and now Glacier as a pun-intended high water mark.

Spoiler

A sampling of cross-map work over an entire year jesus christ I’m so slow recently:

Revised the rooflines of key buildings across all of mamadou’s kingdom in VK to give a more consistent NE-style LL area vibe. They now all have similar virginia reel tent-like roofing.

Made some progress on the huge, ugly pile of codex work that is the Vermillion Adventures entry structure, which is the latest screen posted for the project. Good feedback and it’s been revised since.

Moved out of planning and into actual build for Soleil Springs. There’s some early architecture on the map now and it’s by far the brightest stuff in the entire project; I think people will like it. As I’m pulling together better ways to do miami art deco in LL I’m going to have to revisit the VK entry area for consistency.

Big steps forward for the 6th map. The BioMuseo is a trackitecture pileup (as anything gehry ends up being, even in 2), but again - I think people will like how it turned out if they get any chance to see the source material.

Added a Wavegarden Cove surf pavilion to SS.

Added a Hydrostadium Waveboat pavilion to SS.

Added an Olympic-caliber whitewater stadium to map 6.

All of the above part of a narrative where Vermillion tries to branch out into sports and event hosting inspired by Disney’s raceway and ESPN dealings.

Very, very briefly considered adding another map for an airport and then realized airports are way too fucking big

Mapped out the RV/campground resort and established road connections, still need to decide if I’m going to try and represent RVs somehow or if it’ll be more like a rent-a-cabin.

Added and then deleted both a Spike coaster and a Vekoma motorbike, both of which are too big for the spaces I have and are probably just bad fits for LL’s available track and train types.

Early in-game planning done on the bridge map to line up road, monorail, and land connections.

Added a volleyball court and dry playground to the Bahia Crown

Reworked the Bahia/Hillside pool surroundings to add better seating

Started the Hillside garage

Revised the main walkways just after the entry gates for Vermillion Escape. Added some backstage access roads. Probably deleting the rapids and relocating the giant frisbee … if I can. Whole map is an error trapper.

Also cleared some of the more awkward early path and am reworking the Orchard area.

Revised the monorail station roof for Kingdoms.

Added a monorail station at SS/Unnamed Resort 1

Established the Event Theater seating and started planning some of the show control stuff

Added an aquarium thing to the BioMuseo with a rooftop touch tank area and a family dark coaster (Dynamic Attractions)

Started to add a Rockin’ Tug to the Coconut Kampung area of Adventures

Laid out some roadwork for the marina and hotel complex on the bridge map / event theater connector causeway.

And more - but for as much as that looks like in text, honestly disappointed with how far it’s come for another year.

Currently there are [9] maps started. [3] main parks are actively being built on, the [1] waterpark map is actively being built on, and [8] resort hotels are under construction.

(Map1 - CPLD) Vermillion Escape - Imperial Resort Event Center: ERROR TRAPPER, 6/6 Coasters

(Map2 - SVKY) Vermillion Adventures - Imperial Resort: 70% Complete, 7/7? Coasters

(Map3 - SEGU) Vermillion Resorts - Hillside: 75% Complete

(Map4 - HNSN) Vermillion Kingdoms - Costabella Resort: 65% Complete, 8/8 Coasters

(Map5 - WLTN) Vermillion Resorts - Bay Shore Resort - Bahia Crown Resort - Unnamed Resort: 66% Complete

(Map6 - ????) Vermillion Adventures Event Theater - BioMuseo: 35% Complete, 1/1 Coasters?

(Map7 - ????) Centennial Bridge - Unnamed Resort: 15% Complete

(Map8 - DZBY) Vermillion's Soleil Springs - Costabella Resort: 40% Complete, 4/5? Coasters

(map9 - ????) Vermillion's Harpy Forest Resort - Harpy Forest Course: 8% Complete

(bonus map) Isla Hernando: Released

The Vermillion Resort is the life work of one man, known to the world simply as Hernando. When he first bought a few acres on the riverside, he planted the trees that are still on the property today and turned his orchards into the finest for miles around. Hernando always loved entertaining the folks who would come to pick their own fruit, so he began to add attractions and soon expanded across the river to create a full-fledged boardwalk. Hernando's Boardwalk has grown over the decades into one of the finest multi-park amusement destinations in the world, with rides, shows, and all sorts of incredible experiences for visitors from around the world.

Currently regretting choosing such a large map size for my first attempt at RCT in years. Tempted to give this a small break whilst progress is slow and potentially do the grand tour contest. Learnt a lot so far from this build, but will continue on as I don't want to drop it now!

Thought I'd breathe some new life in this topic...

Canary Mines progress shot! The park itself is pretty much done, apart from filling in afew little spots and cleanup work. It's now mostly surroundings and landscaping. I reckon to get this done in two or three months.

I'm also getting good progress on Ochsenbach. A 2020 release is possible but I think early 2021 is more realistic.

My park is progressing again. I decided to measure park progress by counting map data.

September 27th 2020: 108618

September 06th 2020: 104913

July 4th 2020: 103876

June 19th 2020: 101887

Will add more data when I'm on my other computer.

I can officially say I finished one RCT thing in 2020.

But this is the best quality you get until it's released.

I placed and themed the last ride in Ochsenbach. Now I have to do some foliage inside the park, outskirts (those will be kept short and simple), some stuff I want to redo, polishing here and there... I expected a 2021 release but it might just be I could finish this this year.
