FrancesCoaster Custom Content Thread

[FrancesCoaster]

Hi guys,

Since Realtycoon3 and more recently SGW went down, I've been continuing some experiments with RCT3 custom content, from time to time.

This time I'm introducing a custom mad house CFR. I've built this since I like those rides quite a lot, and I know Mennoo made some for RCT3 way back in the golden years of the game: What I always found limiting was the amount of theming and customization possibilities being limited by the number of CFRs available.

So I made a different one: this one is without drum (the walls) so you can build your own room using ingame vanilla or custom scenery pieces (or even make your very own, very detailed, drum CS to use with the ride).

The only downside is that to achieve this the CFR doesn't work like the original ride, the gondolas does all the spinning. But once you are onride, you don't notice that...

 

Some pics:

Or, with a different theming:

Very cool! Did you make this CFR and import it into the game?

[FrancesCoaster]

Yes. It mostly works, but requires some fine tuning to the animation and the peeps entering and exit (I haven't figured out that part yet, they randomly walk near the doors and appears on the seats, when leaving it's a complete mess of peeps walking all over the place). The animation has a couple of jerks, probably I made some sort of mistake when studying the ride program of Hex (Alton towers).

I made the animation by writing down the times from the start of the ride and the rotation angles while wathing a POV of the ride, and used that data to animate in blender.

Here's a test of the ride:

Oh, that came out really good! There aren't that many people today that still actively create custom rides and import them into RCT3 - you're one in a million 

[Wilhelm1407]

I'm so glad to see you are still making mods for RCT3! Your mods are always top notch! You really are an invaluable member of the RCT3 community.  I can't wait to see what else you come up with!

You know what would be interesting, the Carousel of Progress. I used to use the Madhouse CFRs and "pretend" it was the Carousel of Progress. I look forward to more from you and I am overjoyed to see you here FrancesCoaster!

@FrancesCoasterDo you still make custom content?

[RCT3fan23]

This is so cool! Im excited to add this to a park!

[Craze6471]

Are you planning on making more CTs?

[FrancesCoaster]

Hi guys, I'm still working on the mad house.

I'm working on a themed version too, with some lamps and a center handrail, looks a bit like villa volta.Shot0010.bmp

No, I'm not planning any CT at the moment.

I've a CTR in the works, for @Cody.

Thank you @FrancesCoaster, you know I have plenty of ideas for work for you 

[RCT3fan23]

Oooooo.. Yes please! :D

[wolfpaw]

Get ready for lots of requests, you are a rare breed, not many people make CTRs anymore! Your mad house looks really cool so far!

[FrancesCoaster]

Here's another themed madhouse set, this time inspired by Hotel Embrujado (form Parque Warner, Madrid).

I also managed to integrate the lights in the CFR, so you don't need to bother with external lighting if you don't want to (you can still set them to black if you want to use custom lights).

Another thing: I was thinking maybe I should remove the glass panels behind the seats. I know most madhouse rides have them, but I think they break up the theming. What do you think? Should I keep them for realism? Or not?

Guilty...

[JB]

Looks great! I would say to leave the glass panels out, as you say, to allow the ride to be individually themed. Plus, it would use a few less polys, which is always a good thing.

[Wilhelm1407]

You could opt to replace them with wood panels maybe something decorative.

Maybe something not this intricate, but something that looks vintage.

[Rctk1]

Yes, I made Cheetah Hunt but I lost the file :(

And Hello again Francescoaster! I love your work.

[Tommy Parsons]

 can you make a Ct of valravn at Cedar Point?

[FrancesCoaster]

Some news for the madhouse.
I added animated doors:

Plus I'm thinking about a new themed one:

King Tut's Curse could be a good theme?

 

[RCT3fan23]

I love the new theming sir! Im excited for these models!

[Wilhelm1407]

The animated doors are a nice touch. Also the new Egyptian theme also looks amazing!
