Advanced Park Stroll Camera Mode

[breezerHOG1]

HELL YES! But such a feature almost constitutes "Planet Coaster 2". It sounds like a major backbone feature. Who knows. We have a dream, Yes we can.. etc.

I understand people would want this, I certainly wish PC could have multiplayer... do I think there will be a PC2? no not anytime soon. I dont want a PC2 because that would mean we would lose our workshop, I just want add-ons/expansions etc... so that brings us to the question of will PC ever see multiplayer? I think its possible, someday. I certainly would enjoy it, but Ithe whole idea of it being "static" seems unnecessary.

If people want to have guests in the park, then why not allow it? If people find it laggy they can always disable the guests (thats why we have that options). Now how would it work if the rides were static? they cant be static if you want to ride them... I mean now we are basically at the point of saying, why not just open up the park you want to visit, have your friend open up the park, be in Discord so you can chat, and just pretend your in multiplayer? people already do that, but the point here is that we want to have "guest mode" enabled, and thats a lot more work to accomplish. Will it happen someday? I think it will and maybe we will even have co-op build mode too!

Personally, Id rather have a co-op build mode than a multiplayer guest mode. Whats the point of guest mode? Just to stand in a queue? You can do that already

I didn't report you everyone can see your repetitive and acting dumb and please read my post of 3:38 or whatever timezone your in, because it has educational value. you can learn something from it.

See though, you dont take the time to try and explain yourself very well. You are still insulting me even though I have tried to help. You said "No Multiplayer" and yet you went on to describe a form of multiplayer. I only started trolling you cuz of the nasty messages you sent me

You want a static experience?

Pause the game, use Tegidcam, walk around when everything is dull and boring.

About a strolling game mode:

walk around with the guest's speed and physics, enter queue lines and rides as a guest would do

Although Tegidcam doesn't really make an interactive game out of it, I am still looking if I would like any of these functions.
And why would I stand in line, then to speed up the game to skip the 15 minutes wait, as well as the lines at shops.

If I want to have a guests view I just pick one guest that just entered my park and slect his first person camera. Still I'm skipping lines.
So not for me.

Multiplayer would be impossible. Two machines that need to keep track of each others peeps positions and actions.
My computer would spontaniously caught fire.

Only players and no peeps and no construction? Dull.

Exactly! Thanks Luuknoord

In static i meant: no building options, no management option, no 4000 geusts. You you can hear and see everything and your computer has no problems.
edit: you'll see the turning of the ferrisheel and ride if you want too... that's not static.

I dont see a need for that, seems like a better CPU would help though [up]

Holy crap I just busted my butt laughing so hard... first you say No Multiplayer, then you describe that you do want multiplayer... then you say you want static mode, but with things that are not static [haha]

I'm sorry but then static is the wrong word. No wonder there is a lot of confusion.

What you actually mean is just a empty park with nothing in it where you and your friend walk around while everything feels lifeless and boring?

If you want to have that you are free to make the suggestion.
I'm only really wondering where I can find the fun in that.

My computer has no problems with 5000 guests, management options, building options.
I can still hear and see everything.

I'd rather have a single player mode where the game really feels alive than a multiplayer mode with empty, lifeless parks if you understand what I mean.

I'm not saying it's a bad idea, I'm only questioning the fun-aspect.

Okay so yes I agree PC2 not great idea, but maybe a different name, a new game where all sorts of things can be built... theme parks and other things.

And in my mind, "static" means a park which cannot be edited, but yes it has guests still. Viewing only. And no, you wouldn't need to line up in queue, because you just jump the queue... and everyone lets you because it's not real life!

Hmmm... co-op building maybe. But then just take someone's blueprint now and make it better, so we sort have that now.

Anyway... ideas, they keep rollin in.

I'd rather have expansions, theres so many possibilities. I'm hoping to see Planet Lagoon and Planet Safari, there could also be Planet Carnival, Planet Resort, so many expansions would be wayyy better than make an all new game. Why would you want to lose everything the devs put into this game just for them to start over? Its takes 3 years for PC to get where its at, its still got a long ways to go over the next few years before they even start to think about a PC2. This game hasnt even reached its limits with CPU and park sizes

Yes people do share blueprints for "offline co-op" but it would be fun to enjoy a park with a friend and be able to see what each other is doing,, you never played OpenRCT2??

thx breezer you've got what you've wanted i'm not qualified to talk here anymore.

But this is exactly what Tegidcam let's you do.

I'm sorry if it feels like I'm insulting you, that was not my intention. I was simply trying to understand exactly what you were asking. Static online guest mode does not sound like a fun idea. If multiplayer or co-op is to be implemented, it should be done right, like with the ability to race go-karts with friends

They do indeed chime in from time to time. Could you please leave the moderation to the team rather than do backseat moderating by yourself?

Use the report feature if you want a moderator to look at something that you think breaks the rules or is causing issues.

Thanks!

No quite. In tegidcam mode, things can still be edited. The world is not "static". Minor details not worth quibbling about, the point is tegicam could use a boost, as per OP topic.

Backseat moderating? I don't even know what that is... but if you mean my effort to calm an inflamed situation, that's just a normal component of human conversation. For the neutral participant to offer suggestion of keeping peace and restoring topic. "Moderating" was not in my mind at all, and never will be I hope.

A) I dont know if its possible to run the game with "build mode disabled" but even if it is possible, do you think it would really help performance much?

B) How would you improve tegidcam? Sure it would be nice to see your own personal avatar, or to buy a balloon and hop on a ride, but I think it would be pointless to have to wait in a queue, or to be blocked by crowds, I would still want to beable to walk to the front of the line and hop on a ride instantly. I do want multiplayer, but we need more features like minigames or something, maybe an expansion like thrillville.

Actually, the only thing that needs to be fixed in tegidcam is that when you enter a ride and exit it you return to tegidcam (prefferably spawning at the exit of the ride)

good point [up] I also wish when you hopped on a coaster, it would always place you in the front seat of the next train about to leave the station

Yet, I find tegidcam exactly works as it should. You cannot walk into water, you can skip the lines.

Yes you can walk off paths, but what does that matter., everybody still has some self control right?
Does everythiong need to be restricted by the game?
Are we gonna complain afterwards that we cannot leave the path?

So yeah, Tegidcam might just need a small boost, but it doesn't need a complete overhaul.

Had to return and say this. Sorry this had to escalate i'm very sensitive. Initially i enjoyed my interaction with breezer, even the insulting part and i think/hope he took it the same way. But he's waaaaay to intelligent for me i'm quite brain dead by now, but not mad. Thanks for those who participated or were trying to help. This was my goal to bring it under the attention. And hopefully the discussing will continue. When the topic dies out again i'll come back. And ill be reading this thread first so i can formulate myself better.

I love this game and all its creation. And i'm confident that Frontier will continue to make this game awesome. If my wish will come true, i'm pretty sure they have all the expertise to make it happen.

Again thank you everybody!

Ah the life on forums. It's a thin line between reading something as positive and reading some as negative.
Everybody is entitled to their opinion and so are you. You both have good points. [up]

I'd rather have such discussions than none at all.

I never felt it really crossed the line, otherwise I (as a spectator) would have pushed the report button.
I'm sure Breezer thinks the same way about it.

Let's just move on and forget about that part of the discussion. [up]

It's exactly that kind of passion that keeps this forum busy.
