RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Tutorial: Difference between revisions

The only camera setting feautured in the tutorial is "Normal". At first, you are shown different ways to move the camera are shown, then how to alternate the viewing angle (temporarily) and how to zoom in/out. Finally, the CoasterCam is explained. The tutorial tells youexplains how to point the camera to a desired direction and how to set the distance to the camera. Also, it teaches the player how to navigate between all camera positions on the same train and between the coaster's different trains.

First, youthe aretutorial taughtteaches how to build a [[Rollercoasters|roller coaster]]. The one chosen by the tutorial is the pre-built design "Little Beast", a [[Wooden Roller Coaster]]. Then, the turorial shows you how to rotate, place and test it, as well as how to build a [[queue lines|queue line]] to the entrance and a regular path leading away from the exit. Because rides need maintanace, the hiring and management of a [[mechanic]] is explained before the roller coaster is opened.

Following the tracked ride, a non-tracked ride ([[Floundering Ferry]]) is to be built, because of the arbitrarily placeable entrance and exit. On this occasion, the CoasterCam is revealed to also work on non-tracked rides. FinallyIn the end, youthe aretutorial shownteaches how to build and open a shop ([[Hot Dog Stall]]).

In the beginning the tutorial teaches youthe player how to make mountains and canyons using the brush tool and also how to flatten [[land]] with it. The tutorial proceeds to the drag mode and to the coloring of landscapes ([[grass]] coloring over desert ground). Next up are [[paths]] including building modes and sloping. The tutorial's last steps are about building a brick house with a front door, a wall with windows, corner walls and block roofs.

Because it is the most important thing while playing in carrer mode, you are shown the [[List of Objectives|objectives]] window atis presented first. Then, the park management menu and all its buttons, which lead to windows as e.g. the [[research]] window, are explained subsequently.

This tutorial now makes the step from theory to practice. Beginning with a simple [[Pool Complex|pool complex]] and a path with [[Guests and Staff|visitors]] around, the player is taught how to add changing rooms and how they are related to the complex cleanliness. Next up are building pools on higher levels and connecting them via spiral staircases. In the end, the player is shown how to create waves and whirlpools with the mouse.

Creating a new display, the player is introduced to the ''[[Advanced Laser Designer]]. ''Using a 'Cone of Light' type laser, youthe aretutorial explainedexplaines different settings like e.g. duration, color, trail persistence, rotation speed and their timings/transitions. After that, the creation is saved and the editor closed. Then, the player is told to load the file to the ''MixMaster,'' connect it to a base and test the display. In the end, some extra information about editing existing lasers, cloning an effect and custom water shows are given.

A laser dome as a base before a large brick [[WallsFences and FencesWalls|wall]] is the setup for this tutorial. At first, the ''Advanced Laser Designer'' is to be accessed via the ''MixMaster'' interface and the laser type 'Persistent Image' is selected. Then the player is assigned to draw a picture in a drawing window using the PC mouse. After saving the picture and also the laser effect, the player adds this effect to the timeline, connects it to a base and tests the display. Finally, some additional information about resizing the pictures and configuring the sequence of pictures are given.

There are some new [[:Category: Roller Coasters|roller coasters]] in the [[Wild!]] expansion, of which the [[Splitting Coaster]] and the [[Robotic Coaster]] have novel building features. The tutorial focuses on these two [[ridesride]]s (and not on the other new rides because they use the standard building tools).
