The signup period for this has now closed and I've contacted everyone who has signed up! Thanks again for helping out with this, hoping we can finish this quickly! For everyone else, we will update you all on the progress of this project throughout the next month. If anyone else would still like to help out, please contact myself or @Cody directly. Thanks again, everyone!

Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone! This is something I may look into and change up as it does make more sense to split downloads by their uses instead. I can definitely look into this once all downloads have been added. Just a side note to everyone else, tomorrow is the last day to sign up to be a part of this team! If you'd like to help out please reach out or comment on this topic before signups close November 8th and 11:59 PM EST!

Very VERY impressive show, especially for someone who is self-taught at choreography and the AFE and who has never been involved in a pyro community before! You have unbelievable potential! There are a couple of basics on choreography that I can fill you in on to help improve your craft that I've learned over the years of making shows and being involved in the RCT3 pyro community: Colors Matter - The colors you use during your show are very important and can help evoke specific emotions you'd like your audience to feel. The norm of these color palettes can be found below but don't be afraid to mix and match! You don't have to follow these rules to a T, story and music are always king in your show and that is what you should always build your show around. Reds/Oranges/Yellows - Climax, conflict, action sequences. This is usually the ultimate climax of your show and can often be paired with fire for even stronger sections. Though depending on what red is paired with, it can also show passion and love. Blues/Greens/Purples - Softer sections, calm and buildups. These three colors all go well with each other and can be used when your music is building up or is very calm. Other more obvious things such as nature, healing, culture, etc can all be shown with these colors. Whites - Resolution, finales, purity. Normally when something has been resolved in the music or story of your show, whites are your go-to. Camera Movement - This one is more advanced and you can start easing your way into this but RCT3 has a flying camera editor so you can make nice sweeping shots of your show instead of just having a static camera. It adds so much to your show so feel free to start playing around with it! You can press CTRL + Shift + 0 in game to open up the FCR editor. Syncing - Your sync was pretty spot on for this show but don't be afraid to add more effects! When the music swells really make that lagoon jump up and dance. The small ripple effects you had on the water were a very nice touch! Just be careful to not go overboard with effects - especially when it comes to fountains! Particles in RCT3 are additive meaning that if you layer on a lot of particles the result will just be a big white blob. Fountains use a lot of particles to make them look like streams so you can easily get that whiteout. That was not a problem in this show at all but just keep that in mind for future shows if you're wanting to add more effects. Lighting - Your lighting in this show was pretty basic and resembled more of the realistic lighting that these shows use - which isn't a bad thing at all. Always remember you can do a lot with lighting in RCT3. Lasers can add so much to your show and you can place them pretty much anywhere you'd like and base aim them to do whatever you'd like. Having some flat lasers on the water line in this show wouldn't have been a bad idea to add. These are just some basic examples of advice that I can give you for now! Like I said before, this show is a very very good show for someone who has been 100% self-taught. You have incredible potential and I can't wait to see what you do next and where your craft will go!

Oh no, super sad to see that happen.. I've never lost an entire show due to corrupted park files before but I have lost other projects in RCT3 due to corruption. Such a sucky thing to see happen but hey, maybe Halloween 2024? Still can't wait to see what you have planned next!

Thanks for posting this! We have something similar written here but I've moved this topic to our Tutorials & Articles section so everyone can see this as well.
