Ok ive been working on my new coaster for contour theme park for ages and its still far from complete. Ive been looking through all the custom sceanery threads and looked in all the packs but is there any ladders apart from the one in the hanger pack.
Im looking for somthing that will line up with the steel supports pack.
somthing like:

Doesnt have to Wrap round the support, Just go straight up it, Like those straight ladders that have the round gaurd rails around them and has anybody attempted to make the cat walks on boomerang sections. I think we should have both of these things as they would make our coasters more realistic :)

You might be able to use the slide stairs like that in the first picture, but I have no idea how you'd pull the catwalks off.

thanks for the ideas.
I know the steelworks have cat walks but the ones on the corkscrew/ boomarang section are curved.
Ill have a play around and see what I come up with, I have downloaded skecthup and had a play around on it earlyer. Id probably be able to the modle but as far as importing it into the game and mapping it so it would line up and poly counts ect id be useless as i know nothing about that sorta stuff.

Ok I have read you last post properly this time Lol. A little tip if you are going to use sketchup, it might be worth getting a trail version of milkshape as this is the only way I have heard of getting models made in sketchup succesfully.

Thanks for that. No worries about not reading the post lol I think if i saw that first image Id think it was someone making custom sceanery. LOL I spent nearly 3 hours searching through google images for the ladder I really wanted, There was every type of ladder exsept the one I want but never mind.
As regards to skecthup and milkshape ect, Ive have a play around but Im just no good with numbers and poly counds and alpher texturing ect ect. LOL Dislexa doesnt mix with trying to make custom sceanery.
This was after 20 minutes work getting used to what does what ect.

Thats as far as I get before I just get completly lost. Ive must have had about 12 previous attempts at importing things into RCT following all the diffrent tutourials ect And I just cant as I find it to hard. Beause of my ******* dislexa lol
Well I may PM a few of the custom sceanery makers and see if they have time to do it, Or maybe they could post here if there willing

You can't import objects from Google SketchUp, you have to either try the original Sketchup or buy it for around $800! If you can though, I can safly say that everyone will be amazed.
