Reversing Trains in RCT2 Tutorial

[rcwhiz]

First of all you will need the 8 Cars per Trainer to be able to complete this. Pictures follow so you can understand.

Step 1:
Build the amount of track you want till you get the to the section you want to reverse the train.

Step 2:
Delete a few pieces of track so that the coaster is now in two parts. In the blank spot is where the track for reversing the train will go.

Step 3:
On the second part build a curve, s-bend, etc. so that when the train goes up that hill it'll drop back down on to a different track instead of the one that it just came from and so it wont crash into to the next car coming.

Step 4:
Minus the game. Go into 8 Cars->Misc->Zero All Clearance-> Absolute. Return to the game.

Step 5:
Build track on to the first part so it connects back to the second part. Also build more track onto the second part but don't connect it back to the station.

Step 6:
Minus the game. Go back into 8 Cars->Misc->Restore Clearances. Return into the game.

Step 7:
Now to put the train back to the right way. Build another section like you did for the first reverse.

Step 8:
Now delete a section of the track so that the coaster is in two sections again.

Step 9:
Now on the second section of track build out the part that the coaster is going to get reversed on. After this go to alternate color scheme 1 and change the colors. Paint the section of track that will be the reversing point.

Step 10:
Minus the game. Go into 8 cars -> Rides -> Edit Ride Stats -> Pick Ride Number that coaster is -> Change color scheme to alternate color scheme 1 -> Raise +2.

Step 11:
Go back into the game and the track should be elevated. Next, on the first section of track this time we build the track back to connect with the track from the second part. (Look at Step 8 and Step 12 for reference).

Step 12:
Minus the game and go back to 8 cars -> Rides -> Edit Ride Stats -> Pick Ride Number that coaster is -> Change color scheme to alternate color scheme 1 -> Lower -2.

Step 13:
Everything should be connected at this point. If not go through the steps again and make sure you did them all.
Advice: To help make sure everything is right go into construction mode and click on a piece of track. If the piece of track is white click the arrow button to go forward till you reach the end of the first reverse. Then click the arrow going backwards and the white pieces should be going on to the second section of coaster track, or the part of the coaster that the train should be going reverse on. Once you reach the tip of the second reverse section click the arrow to go forward, same arrow we started out clicking on, and the white pieces should be going on the third section of track (Really the first section of track) all the way back to the piece you started on.

Step 14:
When all is connected and checked leave the game and go into 8 Cars-> Rides -> Edit Ride Stats. While in there find the ride your editing and switch the operating mode to boat hire mode. Go back into the ride and test it out.

Thanks rc for doing this! It sure will help. :) I guess it's sorta like doing the 1st generation Intamin freefall hack.


^??

[Haunt-Freak]

It's from the Slowsky's commerical. Anyways, yeah good one! Thank you!

[rcwhiz]

TSR- Yup its basically the same thing. That hack helped me make this one.

[IntaminFan007]

[YourNameHere]

[ThrillsChills]

[YourNameHere]

[ThrillsChills]

You do that.

I tried my first time making the reversing trains and it seems pretty neat. It took awhile for me to figure it out, but once you do its great!:thumbup2:

[YourNameHere]

it didnt work, i mean the cars were invisible, also wen i put in the second reversal track it deleted part of it

[ThrillsChills]

You went threw the steps that rcwhiz said?

[YourNameHere]

yes, yes i did

[rcwhiz]

For the putting the train back forward you actually need to build a couple piece of the second part above the track, different color scheme it, and then use 8 cars to lower it and then the train should work. I forgot to add this but when I get the time to make this more formal on the front page I will.

[YourNameHere]

thanks, also my cars are showing up now!!! :D

You may want to try some simpler things in 8cars per trainer before you go into the track warping and merging stages. Experiment around with some things.

[YourNameHere]

yeah, thats what ive been trying to do, xcept that every time i try to merge either it doesnt work or it has an error
