Anyone play Rollercoaster Tycoon 2?

If you do, cool. I was just wondering, is there a tool in the game that lets you make hills. I know it's a really stupid question, but I've searched far and wide on all the stupid fanboy sites out there, and I can't get any answers. And while I tried using IGN's boards....well, that was just a waste of time. If any of you care....help would be cool.

(You could make hill in the first game with the shovel/land tool. I can't get the hill tool through the shovel tool. It's irritating)

You know how you lower land by clicking and dragging down. Dont you just click and drag up?

Well, in the first game, you could choose to raise the land by squares. It went something like 1x1, 2x2, 3x3, 4x4 and so on. But instead of increasing the amout of land you raised, you could choose this weird option that let you create hills. So when you pulled up or down on the land it would raise the land in a hill-like way. The tool was real useful for making hills and lakes, and I can't find it in Rollercoaster Tycoon 2.

It's not in the shovel, unless I'm missing something. I'm probably missing something. But I don't know.

I played the heck out of both Rollercoaster Tycoon 1 and 2, and I dont remember any tool that was specifically designed to make hills in either game. I remember then land raising/lowering one your talking about, but I dont remember any hill making tool.

I figured it out. It's not a specific hill tool, but it's the land raising tool. It gives you the option to make hills if you push the (-) button instead of the (+) one.

Anyways, in Rollercoaster Tycoon 2, you can only push the (-) button to get hills in the Scenario editor. That's really gay. So I'm thinking I'll just go work through the first game, and my Loopy Landscapes expansion.

Whatever. What exactly are you trying to create anyways?

KillerGremlin · 07-31-2004, 01:18 AM

Hills. Lol.

Hills do awesomes stuff when you make them pop up in the center of a rollercoaster helix, and it makes good scenery.

The Hill tool also allows for the easy creation of lakes. Lakes help boost ride excitement, and you need water for some rides.

Are they exactly the same?
I'm glad you find this amusing.I think Hills do awesomes stuff when you make them pop up in the center of a rollercoaster helix and it makes good scenery is a lot of things.
Thanks for the info.And this thinking is Lakes help boost ride excitement and you need water for some rides.

The Hill/Lake tool is the same thing.

There isn't a "hill tool," it is just the shovel tool that you use to raise the ground. In the first game, instead of pushing the (+) button to increase the amount of squares you want to raise the ground buy, you can push the (-) button which will allow you to pull the ground up and create a hill.

Naturally, if you pull the ground down instead of up, you create a crator type hole in the ground.

In the original Rollercoaster Tycoon the shovel tool allowed you to make hills in the main game. In Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 you have to be in the scenario editor to make hills with the shovel tool.

I was confused at first, but I'm glad I figured out where that option was in the second game.

KG, just in case you don't know...

...CamFuBot is a bot. So, his response is automated.

So yes, amusing.

I never knew that there was a hill tool in that game. I didn't play Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 enough though because it made my computer too slow. I love those games, I should get back to playing them one day.

KillerGremlin · 08-03-2004, 12:43 AM

Hahaha, a bot. Sorry, I'm a nub here and I never knew you could have a forum bot. To bad he can't give me a handie.
Lol.
