As you may already know that DasMatze has stopped working on his Triggered Particle Events. So now I am going to fill in that spot. This time I'm going to take requests from the community. You can add anything including scenery, they don't just have to be particle effects. Just list anything!
GREEN = Finished
ORANGE = Needs more testing
_______________

The List


Smoke/Fire Steam
Explosions (Water & Fire)
Fountains
Lights - Strobe, flickering, moving, flashing etc.
Snow Rain (any type of precipitation)
Sparks
Dust & Dirt
Lightning
Water, colored
Action type events (Falling crates, rocks, barrels, crashing vehicles, colapsing towers etc.)
Straight line of smoke/fire/water
Backwards PE's
Glitters (huh?) Stars
Lunging creatures
tornadoes/sand/snowstorms
Coaster Splashes
Monsters
water cannons
lazers
Reverse Waterfall
blood

This looks fabulouse! Real movie style effects will really make our rides fantastic! I really thinkyou for making these!

Oh my god!!!

Can you make a stack of barrels 3 high that can go onto a corner of a ride, that when triggered they fall, but not completely.

thetrooper
04-03-2008, 09:43 PM
Cool!
I'm excited about the "lunging creatures" and "action type events" :D

Would a light that flickers or turns off or changes colour be possible as a ride event?
That would be cool. Looking forward to this.

Thanks.

Wow GermanTaco,

You have been quite busy lately. The particle effects will be a great addition to the community if you get it all working. From the looks of things you have a great start.

Thanks for your hard work, and devotion to all your projects. I look forward to seeing more as it develops. :up::up:

God, I need this set, and for someone as great as CS as you are, I'm sure it will be an awesome set. I Just found a bunch of things in there that I would really like to have... (lunging creatures, falling rocks...) Anyway, here's an Idea: A set of roadblocks that fly through the air as though the coaster crashed through them. That would be way cool...

RCT3robin
04-04-2008, 09:15 AM
Or , Mabey a breaking and falling pieces of glass :haha::up:

04-04-2008, 10:50 AM
I do not know what your smoke effect is going to look like but can you make a steam effect? What I am looking for is a jet of steam that comes out of a pipe or something. If you do make it can you make a few different angles like 45 15 90. Just another idea, essentialy a "wall" of what I just requested. So you go through a doorway and there is a "wall" or "blanket" of steam that you go through. This set looks awesome!

bucfan14
04-04-2008, 10:52 AM
^ Steam, yeah or just a mist effect would work.

Is it possible you can us the tornado? That one looks exciting!

Coaster Freak
04-04-2008, 10:32 PM
what about.... Blood effects? Sorry.. lol but, I had to ask.

Xcelerate
04-04-2008, 10:48 PM
This is great, since it will further expand the bounderies of RCT3. However, may I ask that you try and make the tornado more of a mix between grey and brown? Also, (if it's possible) could you concentrate the dust in the center? I know this is alot of critiscism from a noob like me; please don't take it negatively. I can't wait to see more :D!

Amazing! Can you make a variety of colored water effects like Orange, Red, Blue etc.?

Pyro Effects? possibly I'm not sure :p


Looking Great, Maybe a boulder that rolls on to the track?

PE is usually shortened for particle effects, it is called this becouse all the effects are made of lots of images (particles) released at different timings, and different directions and on top of eachother at different colours to produce the desired effect.

OR

The term particle system refers to a computer graphics technique to simulate certain fuzzy phenomena, which are otherwise very hard to reproduce with conventional rendering techniques. Examples of such phenomena which are commonly replicated using particle systems include fire, explosions, smoke, flowing water, sparks, falling leaves, clouds, fog, snow, dust, meteor tails, hair, fur, grass, or abstract visual effects like glowing trails, magic spells, etc.

While in most cases particle systems are implemented in three dimensional graphics systems, two dimensional particle systems may also be used under some circumstances.

Typically a particle system's position and motion in 3D space are controlled by what is referred to as an emitter. The emitter acts as the source of the particles, and its location in 3D space determines where they are generated and whence they proceed.

The emitter has attached to it a set of particle behavior parameters. These parameters can include the spawning rate (how many particles are generated per unit of time), the particles' initial velocity vector (the direction they are emitted upon creation), particle lifetime (the length of time each individual particle exists before disappearing), particle color, and many more.

there we go, WIKI isnt always a lot of rubbish ;)

Requests are a very frustrating thing to deal with, but can you make a wall that can crash causing debris to fall on the ground?

Amplifyed
04-05-2008, 09:15 PM
GermanTaco, I would stop taking requests for now. I think you have enough on your hands! Anyway, really looking forward to this set...

Styx3191
04-06-2008, 12:44 AM
I have a very useful request: Could you possibly make waves, like for beach-side parks maybe?

GermanTaco
04-06-2008, 01:07 PM
hmm.. maybe, I'll think about it :)

can we please see the lazers, since they're in green?

nascarnut

Looks great :). Do you have any idea when this will be released?

kraan
04-12-2008, 08:38 PM
if your still looking for ideas ... what about a wall that collapses or almost falls on you (would be great for an earthquake style dark ride)

Amplifyed
04-12-2008, 08:39 PM

how about one that squirts steam from a ceiling, it would be cool if the particle effect was upside down and could be placed like that (then i can complete test track lol)

also

laser beams as if they're shooting at you! coolness set:p

Simodavid
04-29-2008, 08:00 AM
i can't wait, could you make like disco type lights or fire works that peeps don't stare at when they go off?? or maybe water fountain type spirts of water as before peeps don't stare at?? thanks

^I'm not really positive if GT is working on this still... :(

thetrooper
04-29-2008, 01:27 PM
^I think he is.
But there's no point updating all the time.
These things just take time. It's a whole new thing and it's going to take longer than most sets.

RCT3robin
04-29-2008, 01:38 PM
Dont worry , I think he is still working on this , :rolleyes:.

spiderdusk
04-30-2008, 12:08 PM
I'll suggest to do an effect like : bats coming right to you, it would be cool for dark rides !
Or Thunders , it would be usefull for Tower of terror or others things.
Good luck !

RCT3robin
04-30-2008, 12:18 PM
,, thunders are already made only not as ride event.

( in an other set.)

Good idea about the bats tough.

^ImaginnerJohn made some bats for his latest adventure ride, but I don't think he's releasing any of his objects...:(

Which effects are you talking about??!?

GermanTaco
05-01-2008, 10:19 PM
Wow, theres been A LOT of requests. But one that caught my eye that will be interesting is thunder. It is possible, but you would have to replace one of the fireworks sound effects with one of thunder. But I could try some stuff.
I am still working on this, I was too carried away with programmin my Icon Sheet Maker, but now that its released I can get back to my sets :)

GT when do you think you will release this set? or at least an estimated release date?

RCT3robin
05-11-2008, 05:29 AM
There is a BETA on his site,

Amplifyed
05-11-2008, 09:32 AM
^Is there any way he can send it to me? The problem is that whenever I send the activation email, it doesn't come- and I have 2 email addresses. Any way that he could give it to me?

RCT3robin
05-11-2008, 12:26 PM
Check your junk mail , it should be there then

Yeah, because this set would be awesome to have... even if t IS the beta.

Darkness21
05-11-2008, 11:13 PM
it won't send me a activation email either

Edit: nevermind i got now

03gibbss
05-12-2008, 03:29 PM
i have an idea: ride activated speakers so we can have sound clips play at certain parts of rides if this is possible i think it would be rele cool!

RCT3robin
05-12-2008, 03:35 PM
Not possible, and what has that to do with particle effects?

spiderdusk
05-12-2008, 04:29 PM
Because it's in a certain way a RIDE EFFECT.
This set is ride effects not particle effects.
This is a brilliant idea i think.

RCT3robin
05-12-2008, 04:40 PM
As you may already know that DasMatze has stopped working on his Triggered Particle Events. So now I am going to fill in that spot

as you see triggerd PARTICLE events :D

for everyone to know right now his site isn't working....i have tried countless times and all it says is that the website provider has had a disk corruption and that it might be back up and running by Saturday at 9pm

Amplifyed
05-16-2008, 10:17 PM
Uugh, that isn't the problem with me- I still haven't gotten my conformation email. I hate it when you have to "log in" to get scenery sets from sites... Because I would love to have the beta-but I can't have it.

RCT3robin
05-17-2008, 06:48 AM
yes its a shame, but the site is fully offline now , at least for me.

Darkness21
05-17-2008, 09:08 PM
i talked to GT on thursday and he said that it will be back up and running soon...also he said that he has paused on the ride effects at the moment and he is working on the IOA set right now

stu-2693
06-28-2008, 06:08 AM
yea i think you are trying to get yourself banned, or you just didn't read the rules which i believe say no double posting, you just posted six times.. also expecting a reply from a not very active thread in less than a minute is a bit stupid. Patience obviously is your weak point. you cant tell me thats an acciednt... you don't seemed to have learnt from what the moderator told you.. this isnt some instant messenger service were you get instant replys, CS takes time and not everyone has it.

RCT3robin
06-28-2008, 07:16 AM

No, ive been up to lots of other things. Mostly friends and soccer though. RCT3 is sort of at the bottom of my list now except programming, which I'll be taking classes in so thats the only real progress I have made. But I'll work on CS sooner or later

I hope he doesn't mind me posting this.

SpiltInk
06-28-2008, 08:09 PM
snailmale, there is nothing preventing you from doing particle effects. I know from what I read they are no small feat. Even the most experienced folks here that create cs have a doozy of a time doing it.

So if you can do it I think Germantaco would have no problem with you creating and sharing your own.

RCT3-Dude if you really wanted something from someone, going about it this way is starting off on the wrong foot. As you can see its been over a month since GermanTaco has replied in this thread. So he is likely busy with real life, other cs, or just not far enough along on this project to post anything. Take a breather, lay off the coffee or energy drink, and relax.

You installed it wrong,

The thing to remember is that the game engine is designed so it follows a specific path to access each scenery file. If that path is altered - by placing the file in the wrong spot or extra files being created - the game is unable to access the file.

The most common error is where an extra folder holding the CS files is created. The way to check for this is to navigate to where Scenery folders are stored. Most people will know how to access this, but I'll lay out the steps for those who may not be sure:

If you are running XP, you probably have an icon on your desktop called "MyComputer", double-click that icon to open.

Most people have the game installed on it's default position, so find where it lists your hard drives and find "(C: )", double-click on that entry to open.

Now you need to find a folder named "Program Files", again double-click to open.

Among the individual folders should be one labeled "Atari", go ahead and double-click to open.

Inside you'll find the folder for "RollerCoaster Tycoon 3", open that.

Inside are lot's of files and folders required in the game, scroll down and find the one labeled "Style", double-click to open it.

Customs Scenery goes in the folder entitled "Themed", yep, go ahead and open that one too.

Here you will see all the different scenery folders - in-game and custom. This is where you place your custom scenery folders. Find the folder for the set you are having problems with and open it.

This is the important part, as soon as you open that folder you will see one or more files or folders that are the actual individual object files PLUS there should be two OVL files...one named Style.common and the other Style.unique.

Those two OVL files MUST be there for your CS to function properly. That's where the path the game follows to access them says they must be. If they aren't, then usually an extra folder has been created during the zip process.

If the two OVL files are missing, is there instead just a folder with the name of the scenery set on it present?

I thought so. Go ahead and open that folder. Chances are when you open it you'll find those two missing OVL files plus the actual scenery files/folders.

What's this mean? Well, the path the game is looking for when you see those two OVL files is C:\Program Files\Atari\RollerCoaster Tycoon 3\Style\Themed\Set (you can see the path up at the top of your screen).

The path if there's an extra folder will show C:\Program Files\Atari\RollerCoaster Tycoon 3\Style\Themed\Set\Set. Note how that folder at the end appears twice? We need to get rid of that extra layer. It's simple to do...

Find the folder that holds the two OVL files (along with the actual object files/folders that were there with them.) and drag that entire folder to your desktop.

Now in Style\Themed you should have a folder with the name of the set that is empty. Delete that extra folder.

Now you can drag the correct folder (the one with the two OVL files) from your desktop back into Style\Themed. That should make the path correct for the game to access the objects and the set should now work.

How does an extra layer get formed by mistake? Well, there's several ways but one way to make sure it doesn't occur is to always unzip new CS set's to your desktop FIRST, and then find the correct folder (with the two OVL files) and drag it to your Style\Themed folder yourself. If the CS set comes with an .exe file, I always change the destination to have it go to my desktop as well.


Thanks wagi ;).

Hey guys, um im having trouble with the effects too. First i am aware of the Svd: For Sid problem but my problem is, every time i try to click at least one of the effects it brings up this "Failed to open file. You may have to insufficient access rights: Particle Effects\(anyone i pick).frw. I did download it on GermanTaco's website, and i did download it in the folder themed. I also checked the post that RCT3robin posted. If anyone can help please do it, I really need these particles.

PS: GermanTaco, the website and particles look great, and could you make the boulder idea back i also need that too.

07-26-2008, 01:54 PM
The particle effects you download,(.frw files), Must be placed in the

C:\Program Files\Atari\RollerCoaster Tycoon 3\ParticleEffects

folder , and the set in style/themed.

Usually a problem associated with Windows Vista. Basically you can't move/copy/edit files and folders that you didn't create (as in the install disk created them, not any person) and or you don't have rights to fool around in those folders (someone else owns the computer and your user account is bloacked from them).

Basically you have to be the "owner" of the files and folders in order to do anything with them. I suggest that you go read up over at support.microsoft.com or if your computer belongs to someone else, get them to move the files.

OK I think this set would be great but I cant download it and it won't send me a confirmation email to join your site. You need to have it available for nonmembers too.
Also if it helps maybe you can manually activate my account? I registered as CZsWorld...\
EDIT: Nevermind it sent. Just took forever.

I saw a post on another site from Dec 23rd that Germantaco should be getting to work on this project again; however I'm have trouble registering there to ask if there was some way to get a copy of beta since his site is down. I think the things that he has completed so far look really great, especially the water splash down and explosion. Does anyone know if the beta is still available or be able to get a copy? From reading the posts from the last few months I don't think he closed the beta to anyone.
