'''''OpenRCT2''''' is a free and open-source recreation of ''[[RollerCoaster Tycoon 2]]'' (RCT2) that incorporates some features from the original ''[[RollerCoaster Tycoon]]'' (RCT1) that were removed in RCT2, while also fixing some issues present in the official games, and incorporating changes seen in ''[[RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic]]'' (RCTC). In addition, ''OpenRCT2'' adds several unique features, such as cooperative multiplayer and a built-in cheats menu.
== History ==
Development of ''OpenRCT2'' was started on 2 April 2014 by Ted 'IntelOrca' John, with the project making steady development progress due to the efforts of other volunteers contributing towards its development. In order to keep the game playable and testing easier, OpenRCT2 called into the original RCT2.EXE for functions it did not yet have itself, replacing these functions bit by bit with its own code. On 15 October 2015, this process was finished, making the game independent (except for graphics, sounds, and objects), and easier to port to other systems.
== Comparison with Official Games ==
''OpenRCT2'' aims to continue where ''RCT2'' left off, making it an update to ''RCT2'' in a similar way ''RCT2'' acted as one to ''RCT1'', or how ''[[Loopy Landscapes]]'' acted as one towards the base installation of ''RCT1''. Unless otherwise noted, most information on this wiki about ''RCT2'' directly applies to ''OpenRCT2'' as well.
As ''OpenRCT2'' continually updates, it receives new features, fixes, improvements, and changes. It also carries over elements seen in ''RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic'' such as boosters that were on ''RCTC'''s [[Giga Coaster]] and [[Junior Roller Coaster]] and applies them here. Compared to the original games, the gameplay is also rebalanced in several ways such as how much money the guests would pay for rides at max depending on their stats and age has been recalculated.
* For [https://rct2calc.shottysteve.com example], in ''RCT1''/''RCT2''/''RCTC'', a guest would pay a maximum of £16/$16 for a newly-built Corkscrew Roller Coaster with an Excitement of 6.42, Intensity of 5.43, and 4.36 but in ''OpenRCT2'', guests would pay a maximum price of £15/$15 for it. However, at higher stats (such as 8.43 Excitement, 6.90 Intensity, and 5.43 Nausea), a guest would pay a maximum of £19.20/$19.20 for a newly-built Corkscrew in ''RCT1''/''RCT2''/''RCTC'' but the maximum price has been raised to £19.60/$19.60 in ''OpenRCT2''.
''RollerCoaster Tycoon 2'' used a save file format (.sv6) with limitations such as 255 rides & shops/stalls in a park and 1,000 guests in a queue line. While ''OpenRCT2'' can support this save file format, ''OpenRCT2'' removes those limitations with a new save format (.park) as of version 0.4.0. This update also included support of save files from ''RCTC''. ''OpenRCT2'' also supports ''RCT1'' save files.
== Releases ==
''OpenRCT2'' is available for Microsoft Windows (Vista and higher; Windows XP support was dropped since v0.0.5<ref>MinGW builds dropped support for Windows XP as of v0.0.5 ([https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/blob/develop/distribution/changelog.txt changelog])</ref>), Linux<ref name="Linux" />, macOS<ref name="macOS" />, FreeBSD<ref name="FreeBSD" />, OpenBSD, and Android<ref name="Android" />.
''OpenRCT2'' has two release branches: the "Develop" branch, which is updated up to multiple times a day with builds that incorporate new features and changes, but may be unstable; and the "Release" branch, which is updated every few months with a stable build of the game that incorporates the changes and additions of all builds released in the "Develop" branch since the previous build in the "Release" branch.
Due to game-breaking bugs on "Develop" branch builds being fixed relatively quickly by the development team, it is quite safe to play ''OpenRCT2'' using the latest build in the "Develop" branch (especially with the auto-save function enabled). One of the third-party ''OpenRCT2 Launchers'' is widely used to automatically install game updates.
== Key Features ==
* Native support for modern versions of Windows, macOS, Linux and other operating systems
* Support for widescreen resolutions, giant screenshots of the whole map
* Fast-forwarding
* Auto-save function
* Online multiplayer for co-op play
* Improved and extended language support, over a dozen languages available
* New rides, vehicles, scenery, objects, music (since v0.4.3), paths, terrain, colours (since v0.4.5), etc.
* New special track pieces and additional special tracks for certain roller coasters (such as large half loops on the [[Vertical Drop Roller Coaster]], re-introducing some removed RCT1 track features like [[boosters]], and new track pieces large corkscrews and Zero-G rolls on ''OpenRCT2'''s newly implemented roller coasters)
* Ability to import ''RCT1'' and ''RCTC'' (as of v0.4.2) saves and scenarios
* Various fixes for bugs in the original game and improvements
*
* Built-in cheats menu and in-game hacks
* Custom Title Sequences
* Custom User Interface
* OpenGL hardware rendering
*
* New save file format with many increased limits (as of v0.4.0)

== New objects added in ''OpenRCT2'' ==
These objects implemented into ''OpenRCT2'' that are not in the original games can be found in the Object Selection's advanced menu (filter "OpenRCT2 Official"). The "OpenRCT2 Official" list also includes reimplementations of objects exclusive in official downloadable content that was not presented in the main games or expansions.

[https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenMusic OpenMusic] is a side project implemented in OpenRCT2 with the purpose of adding a new and alternative, high-quality soundtrack to OpenRCT2 alongside the original games' soundtrack. Karst "Jalmaan" van Galen Last is the primary composer for OpenRCT2's original soundtrack, but other artists such as Herman Riddening's 35er Voigt (previously known as The Bressingham Voigt) and [[Allister Brimble]]<ref name="OpenRCT2 Main Theme YouTube comment">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkvaRXyJOTM&lc=UgxFuczwYeRXa6mlJHx4AaABAg Allister Brimble's YouTube comment] on Marcel Vos's "[https://youtu.be/NkvaRXyJOTM New OpenRCT2 Theme Song Reveal!]" video</ref> contributed to OpenRCT2's original soundtrack.
