Interesting supports

Check out this link, and look at the coaster there. can anybody tell me how can make the Millenium Force style supports?

You want to know what Millenium Force is on a scale from 1-10? Oh, that's easy. A bajillion out of ten.

Someone must have been hacking with the game to do it. I'm guessing they used the Verticle Coaster, then put regular trains on it with a trainer. That doesn't explain the supports though. Also check out the tunnel in the one picture. It looks like a tunnel from the Water Slides.

what they did was trainer a wooden coaster track every two track sections over the reg. steel track. also they just built a side-friction track straight through the middle to make the straight section.

Actually, it looks like they used a wooden wild mouse coaster for those supports. Pretty slick.

I got a problem with the Beast Trainer. Every time I open it, it keeps on having to close. Does anyone know what's up with that?

I tried doing this today... All I know is that you need to start RCT first, then (either by Alt+Tab or going into Window mode) start up the Beast Trainer. You have to go into Begin Special Build Mode, and then begin building your coaster.

I worked for 45 minutes trying to recreate that first hill.... It's going to take me a little while...

How do you make the special supports? I couldn't figure it out on the Beast Trainer (now that I got it working)

-----------------
RubberDucky is mine.

Go back to the SpitFire example. Look closely and you'll see that the supports are actually the supports for a Wooden Wild Mouse coaster.

OK. I'll try to explain all the steps to create a Millennium Force-style coaster with supports.
1) Startup RCT and BT.
2) In BT, click "Landscape" and "Begin Special Build Mode"
3) Begin building with the Vertical Coaster. You can do whatever you want, but for the sake of the example, we'll say the vert.
4) Once you finish your vert. coaster, go back into BT, under the Landscape menu, click "Execute Build Thru"
5) Select the Wild Mouse coaster, and begin building the supports. General rule of thumb, I learned after a few hours of trial and error, is to keep the supports 1 unit below the actual coaster track.

And that's really it. Be sure to do all the build thrus and track hacks at once, before you save the game.

My head hurts.

then how do you change the track type? (if you notice, there are tunnels that are a waterslide tube)

Basically the same thing. If you notice, the water slide "tunnel" is also 1 unit away from the actual coaster track. (Wether its 1 unit above or below I'm not sure). I personally haven't tried to do this yet, but I imagine its the same
I don't get it, but I also want to know how they make it w/out supports (like the crossbeam)

I think I know what you're talking about. To keep from having the Wild Mouse supports, just delete those track segments. The Vert Coaster supports will drop down, but here is where it gets a bit tricky... Just use the nearly-invisible chairlift cable in the places where you don't want the vert coaster supports to be shown. This shouldn't require any trainers whatsoever.

I should be doing school work.

oooo

Aight, the whole waterslide tunnel thing I am having problems with.

-----------------

Basically the same thing as the Wild Mouse supports... I haven't tried this yet, but in my mind theoretically it should work. Just follow the small set of instructions I said above, except before or after you add the Wild Mouse supports, go to a different section of the vert. coaster and build a Waterslide in the exact same manner, 1 unit below the vert. coaster track.

If that doesn't work, in one of the menus is a command that says something like "Execute ZERO Clearance". Try that, and then add the waterslide tunnel. Afterwords, I'm not sure if its necessary, but then click on the command that says "Restore All Clearances"

Hope that helps... And I hope I can do this myself too...

I kinda had a problem with putting the supports one unit below the track: I had to put it two.
