That looks so much better than my coasters and you call it a long lost dead project 😆 I never liked starting projects and quitting them so I don't have many but I still definitely do have some. Of course they're all pyro shows since that's what I was into but one of them was going to be a really dark mature show themed to the music from Pans Labyrinth. I started on this project when I still was relatively new to making shows in RCT3 but I realized that I was too noobish and dumb at the time to take on something like that... so into abandoned projects folder it went, haha

That's super interesting! You might be the first person I know who builds downgraded PCs instead of upgraded ones 😆

Very cool show! I've seen you a lot on the Discord server messing with some really cool things in RCT3 - how did you do all the lights on the water? Was that all one effect? Also LOVED how you treated the spinning fans and made them look like crashing waves - most just spin the fan alone but you made them look incredibly cool!

Welcome to ParkCrafters and back to RCT3! Looking good so far, one piece of advice I can give is to always play with landscaping! Now that you mostly have a clean slate, making your park not 100% flat always adds realism and depth to your park and it's always easier to move the ground with nothing on it 😉 Excited to see updates on this!

Yea, don't think I've ever seen popcorn stalls in RCT3 before but you can always use custom scenery for that!

COMMUNITY UPDATE #4 - MARCH 9, 2024 Hey everyone! It's been a while since we've had our last community update and lots has happened since then! We've got some new features, new looks, and new updates regarding ParkCrafters and the future of ParkCrafters to share with you all today. Overall, we're very happy with the state of the community and pleased with how fast this community is growing! I feel like we've now become a staple name in all things Planet Coaster, Planet Zoo, RCT 1 - 3, NoLimits 2, and more. Our downloads library continues to expand and more and more members are sharing their awesome projects. Our Discord server continues to see increased activity and more people continue to join our community every day. For a community built around such niche and old games, I'm very pleased with how everything is turning out so far! Big thanks to everyone for your continued support and the staff team here for helping to continue to grow ParkCrafters. I'm sure all of you are eager to see what new features and information we have to share with this first update of 2024, so read on below to see what's new and coming to ParkCrafters! --- DOWNLOADS GETS A NEW REFRESHED LOOK Our downloads section, while continuing to grow and seeing lots of downloads every day, was a bit confusing to navigate. You would click on a category and it would show no files were available in that category unless you clicked a small link on the sidebar to actually see the files in each category. We've streamlined this process and made it easier to both navigate and find the files that you want to find. Our new and improved downloads layout now features all the categories for all of our hosted files on the community. It also nicely displays all recently added files, reviews, and comments for every category. Feel free to look around and check it out on our Downloads section here! --- FURTHER CHANGES TO USER PROFILES We've added a new requested field to everyone's profile on ParkCrafters - pronouns! You can now add and share what pronouns you identify as on your ParkCrafters member profile. Just head to your profile and click on 'Edit Profile' and add your pronouns under the 'Additional Details' category. This field is optional, so if you don't want to share this information feel free to leave it blank. We've also added a cover photo file limit size to all profiles moving forward as of this point. We were seeing some users uploading 4K+ resolution cover photos which are eating up our server's available disk space. As of now, cover photos now have a file size limit of 5MB. Current cover photos that are up will not be affected by this change. --- PARKCRAFTERS DISCORD SERVER GETS LEVELED UP! If you frequently visit and engage in chats on our ParkCrafters Discord server, you'll notice a few new changes! We've added some new visual features and fun things on our Discord server to improve member interaction! Our Discord server now features an image of the community's current featured project, new role icons, new soundboards, and new emojis. These can all be used in our Discord server when chatting with other members both via text or on a voice/video call. We still have lots of slots for additional emojis and soundboards, so if anyone has any suggestions feel free to reach out to any staff member and we can get them added for you! If you aren't on our Discord server... what are you waiting for? Join here to start chatting with other members and to enhance your ParkCrafters experience! --- CSDEPOT MIGRATION IS COMPLETE! This has been previously announced already but wanted to give a special shoutout since this wasn't properly announced in a community update. The migration of all the files from the now closed CSDepot from ShyGuysWorld has been fully moved over to ParkCrafters! This was a huge effort and lift from multiple members and I can't thank them all enough. If you'd like to read more about this, view the official announcement here. --- MORE BUGFIXES! We've squished and fixed numerous bugs with this update. One of the bigger ones being registration emails not properly sending out. Feel free to read the full bugfix list below: Added the embed.php controller to the robots.txt file and added a noindex tag so that search engines don't index the content. Added the referring URL to the content of the Contact Form. Changed PHP version to 8.1. Changed MySQL version to 8.0.13. Improved the contact us form UX for guests. Improved the queued comments count handling. Improved the description for the similar content widget to highlight the different flow when ES is used. Improved the thumbImage template to add an alt tag and optimize lazy loading. Fixed a design issue on the error page. Fixed an issue in the DELETE /core/members/{id}/secgroup/{groupId} REST endpoint, where members could lose a secondary member group. Fixed an issue where calling the GraphQL API without a query would throw an EX0 exception. Fixed an issue with the x hashtag not being set. Fixed an issue where members with a false validation flag would be unable to login. Fixed an issue with reliability of logging early in the boot process. Fixed an issue with invalid page URL parameters. Fixed an issue where profile fields weren't shown on content submissions. Fixed an issue on the registration form, where one could submit any coppaa/birthday combination. Fixed an issue where tags were not showing in alphabetical order (when enabled) for search results. Fixed an issue where the webhook payload from Status Posts wasn't properly formatted. Fixed Member List Exports not properly formatting Yes / No and Checkbox profile fields. Fixed an issue where disabled login handlers would still be accessible in the UCP. Fixed an issue where the member webhook payload contained a false value for the allowAdminEmails key. Fixed an issue parsing <video> elements with multiple <source> elements when lazy-load is enabled. Fixed an issue in the follower template where it didn't cast the page as an integer. Fixed an issue where giving cookie consent to the IPS cookies would result in an empty page. Fixed an issue where web app icons may be cached by a CDN and show older versions. Fixed a regression when copy & pasting files in an editor by reverting a previous fix. Deleting a webhook will now also delete the data from core_api_webhook_fires. Removed the deprecated twitter_hashtag` setting. Removed the profile blocking from the default robots.txt file. Fixed an issue where Status Feeds don't update after saving statuses and replies. Fixed an issue where registration validation emails weren't properly sending. --- THE FUTURE OF PARKCRAFTERS These past 9 months have just been the tip of the iceberg! We've got loads of exciting new features coming to ParkCrafters in 2024, along with our first anniversary May! Staff is currently discussing future features that we know you all will love from further improving the organization of download categories to clubs. I will say this... it might be time to put on those competing hats soon 😉 --- STATE OF THE SITE UPDATE As always, I'll leave you all with some of the info numbers as of today compared to when our last community update was released! 512 Total Members (+321 new members) 3,286 Current Files on our Downloads Section (+759 new files) 231 Topics Created (+37 new topics) 2,963 Posts Created (+542 new posts) 2,166 Reactions Given (+510 new reactions) 21,690 Downloads (+19,242 new downloads) 3,861,065 Visits Since Launch (+2,089,791 visits) --- That's it for now! Thanks again for all the continued support on ParkCrafters! We're so happy with how the community is expanding and to continue to see all your awesome projects being shared on both the site and our Discord server! Until next time! - ParkCrafters Staff Team

I am still constantly amazed at your RCT3 coaster videos and pics. RCT3 definitely looks dated but somehow your projects always look so pretty and realistic... like that drop photo you have and that last screenshot - SO HOT.
-
Thanks for sharing! Really cool tutorial!
-
That's pretty cool, do you find that everything is actually running better on older hardware and software?

What I want you to do the second you read this comment is to pull up Bite O' Fun and compare it to this one. It's awesome to see such an insane level of improvement in choreography and laserwork - ESPECIALLY laserwork. I know this was your original intention with these smaller Bites, to get back into RCT3 and relearn how to use the mixmaster and choreograph but sir I don't think you need the practice anymore 😆 Very cool show to look at, the number of effects, the fact that something is always happening, the choreography, the different camera angles - everything matched the vibe of the soundtrack perfectly. Also, insane replayability, whenever I watch the show I find a little corner of the set where I'm like "Oh that's cool". Congrats on completing and sending out another successful bite! This definitely had a bite to it (no pun intended). Excited to see what you do next!

Aw, this was so unexpected! Thanks for all the birthday wishes everyone! And thanks for starting this thread @Kablary, means a lot to me! ❤️

Going to paste the solution here as well just in case anyone is looking for this:

If I don't hear TAKE THIS, HEAL, HEAL, HEAL, TAKE THIS! HAH! 5000x times during the show then YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG! 🤣 On a more serious note, looking forward to this! While I've only played the first Kingdom Hearts game and I'm not a fan of the franchise I can't deny the music in the games is very pretty. Excited to see what you do with this! I believe this is your first video game soundtrack show? They're a bit harder to work with vs film soundtracks - they can get much more repetitive very easily so choreography and soundtrack mixing can be a bit more of a challenge. But if done right you'll definitely have a winner, so many great soundtracks are locked behind video games and are often overlooked.
-
Didn't know about that options.txt cheat either! You learn something new every day about this game, haha Looks like you already found a compromise but another idea I had is maybe there are reflective CS walls or floors out there somewhere that you can put over the small empty ponds you have in the ground. This will make it look like they are reflective water while not being water so the game runs better. I'm not sure if that specific CS pack exists, I will leave that up to the more expert CS pack finders.
