Semi-Cool Use For Billboards

Well, I officially proclaimed the billboard feature in Wild as "Silly" in the other thread.

Being the intelligent innovator that I like to think I am, I tried to find a way to make them useful or at least fun.

What I came up with is the idea of taking a photo of a real world park building (my site is a good place to start :) ) and dissecting it into several pieces. Next use these on the billboards and stack them to recreate real world park buildings (kind of) in your RCT3 parks.

The results are tolerable, but not perfect (mostly due to the border on billboards in Wild), but it makes them at least remotely interesting this way.

My first attempt?

RCT peeps strolling by Conneaut Lake Park's Beach Club :)

You've been sucked in... ;)

Heh. Well after 4 hours with the game, I"m already trying to find way to make it useful.

Now I'm thinking 4 sides back to back like this (each side would look like a 'front', but still) with an actuall RCT building built in the middle with useable stalls and such.

With a little creativity and planning ahead, you could essetially add a working "CLP Beach Club" to your park.

The mix of real photos in a park where almost everything else is RCT graphics is a bit awkward though.

Maybe just as a little extra backdrop along the outermost edges of your park?

I'm trying...

Wow. That's kinda cool.

Oooh, here's another idea. Create textures and use them for custom wall pieces.

Example 1
Example 2
Example 3
Example 4
Example 5
Example 6

Man, those borders really hinder this from being something very useful. :(

I think you need to work on a Motley Crue billboard or better yet a stage with a GIANT Iron Maiden backdrop! You know how Maiden and the Crue always play at parks!

Hell, let's just turn it into a billboard thread. :)

More fun

that jungle run sign was a VERY good idea!

Damn funky ideas.... got to wait till xmas for mine though - wifey insisted i stick some games on my xmas list, and since i wouldn't actually waste my money on it........ ;)

In the meantime, I'll keep playing my Transport Tycoon Deluxe for windows with the patches.

RCT3 is nevertheless a playable game (if somewhat shortcoming) ... just not had the hours to dig into yet.

Gonchar, that jungle entrance is effing hot! I'm becoming more and more intrigued with the new capabilites.

Tuan, its 1:22am here, so if you're on the other coast, it is late enough that you should be out having fun, and early enough to be out and still have fun.

Don't be like me and stuck at work, go party and stop playing RCT!

;)

There is much fun to be had at home ;)
(still going out anyway..heh)

Fun with yourself isn't really that much fun ;).

And I'll tell you like I told moosh, when you go out, drink one for me. Preferably Jagermeister.
