RCT2 Secret Stuff - CoasterBuzz

http://chronowerx.yoll.net/rct2trainerspage/patches.htm

All sorts of new stuff.

Um, invalid link there, Sport.

just go to http://chronowerx.yoll.net/rct2trainerspage

and click on patches.

That Super Ferris Wheel sounds cool. I don't have RCT2 yet to test, does this patch really work?

-----------------
I tried to sign my name here but the ink didn't stay on the screen.

The trainer mentions its a secret object 'unlocker', I wonder if there are more rides and stuff already programmed into RCT II that we can't use until either somebody hacks them or a special 'key' program is released that unlocks them, possibly with the RCT 2uesday promotions.

I don't know how much of his screen shots is window dressing, and what all they have worked out. It seems that if the screenies are to be beleived, they may have found a way to get rid of that 128 object maximum.

That was my first thought as well, Dave. I'm not a master programmer by any means, but I would think that it would be easier to add new rides and whatnot by means of preprogramming them and releasing an unlocking key as opposed to actually creating a patch to install them.

However, that seems to me like an open invitation to try and hack the game, which historically doesn't fit Mr. Sawyer's style. I hope the new stuff is true, but I'll believe it when I see it.

How do you build the walls and roofs? It won't let me build walls on top of walls, like on the haunted ghost track?

to build walls on top of walls, you hold down shift, and click, it will stack, all scenery stacks, all you have to do is hold shift

Savaq - Preprogramming makes more sense than releasing the new ride in a patch, because then you would have to patch all the scenario definition files you want the new item available in, as well as the scenario editor. If you preprogram the game jit ust hides the relevant options until the unlocking key is released. Also if he released a ride or stall modularly, that may open the gates up for some skilled person or team to create unofficial rides and stalls. In short I think pre-programming is less of a risk, especailly if he plans on unlocking the hidden objects in a short time frame at low or no cost..

Hmm, might have to look at the file with a hex editor. I recall back some time when somebody figured out you could customize the ride names and stuff if you hacked the source code with a hex editor (and were real careful about it), if they new items are preprogrammed in, they might shake out when examined under a hex editor to verify existance.

Monto - If you have RCT 2, use the "Stacked Scnery" feature. (In short place the item on the square you want it put don't click the mouse button (and get the usual error about something else already being there), instead when the ghost image is on the square you want, hold down SHIFT, now you can mouse up or mouse down to access the third dimension is placing your object, height. So choose that roof, place it over the walls, hold shift, roll up on the mouse and you should be able to raise the roof where you want it, THEN click the mouse button,

I can assure you there's no way to get around the 128 limit. Look at that number... it's a round binary number and undoubtedly corresponds to some section of memory or file format.

the round binary number is corresponding to a preset section of memory as jeff said. we discussed a topic like this in comp sci and how that memory location cant be altered. so id say dont look for the 128 max to be removed.

Is there anything new on the RCT 2sday page? Last time I was there, there wasn't anything new on it. If there is could someone please post a link.

Will someone post some screenshots of the new rides please.

No one has screenshots of the "new rides." The only person who has supposedly seen these new items is the person claiming to be creating a trainer that unlocks him. He has posted screenshots of the trainer interface but not of the new items, so that would definitely lead me to believe that there aren't any new items. I'd like to find myself proven wrong, but it just doesn't add up...

How did you get it to work MiA Jon? I just downloaded it and it did not work for me, I needed a registrating key that I can't get because I'm not an alpha user? Sounds like you gotta do a little hacking for yourself in addition to the patch.

-----------------
The below statement is true.
The above statement is false.

Don't beleave it till you see some 'real proof'. I can make a trainer wanna be very easy, but intill I see some screens of this 'new stuff', I think it's a hoax.

I don't have a signature yet!

I read about theses "new rides" on another forum. Someone there guessed that they were part of the RCT 2sday thing too. Personally I'd be pissed to find out there were things in a game I paid for but couldn't access.Alos since we can't get bact to the ride selection portion of the senario editor once we have saved it we wouldn't be able to add them to our parks anyway.

Jeff I believe you on the 128 rides/attractions thing since I know squat about computers but what about the limitations on themes(19 I believe)

The feature I look forward to the most in this trainer was the enable mountain building function.

Sure you may not be able to get around the 128 ride maximum, but perhaps this will open new rides that you can choose from in the main list. I would like that.

sorry, but the idea of new hidden attractions has already been proven to be a hoax on the forums at [url="http://rct.ogresnet.com/" target="_blank">rct station. it involved a few data files that were allegedly hidden inside an archive on the rct2 cd. these files have been proven to not exist, to the best of my knowlege.
