Well if you have been wondering what I have been up to lately in RCT3 here you go I have been working on a ride for the coaster idle contest (it just won’t be right if I didn’t try to lead coaster net to victory) and my other project this set of custom scenery which you will find out more about below.


This set has two types of pieces the tubing and the lighting effect points that give off the light. How you use the set is by first laying out the tubing and then putting in the lighting effect points which fit perfectly in side the tubing ware you want if you want the tubing to give off light. The reason I did it this way is so that it avoids the flickering problem of two many lights close together and also allows you to pick from more then one stile of light. All the pieces are recolorable and set to quarter grid like shyguy’s sets. Lights tubs that run vertically up and down will come in sizes of one high two high and 3 high and each piece will have 3 offsets to chose from. Lights that go horizontally will have two sizes full grid (4w) and half grid pieces (2w). The also there will be some pieces that will line up with the lift hills on rides which include an angled light tube and some round lights that can line up in a string if you position them right. All I really need to do to get this set ready is to make icons unless I decide to add some thing else so hopefully the set wont be to far away.

I will have some more information and pictures soon but for know in this picture shows the vertical lighting, each cooler represents a different piece in the picture below you see a total of 9 pieces out of the 30 plus pieces in the set.

It is a difficult process. You need to know how to create a 3-D object, and then find out how to import it into the game.

Well there are a few ways to put lights on your coaster now below show two different ways.

That is awesome, to bad I can't get RCT3.

[Pierce Radecki]

Wait - so will these be acual lights that have 'light' or are they just for show?

[Jeff--CPfanatic]

Great job, Coaster Sim. Fan! The lights look great and they'll be nice additions to my parks. My only question, is the same as Mr. Madness': "Do the lights give off light at night? I think this is a great original idea! Keep it up!

[weasel497]

FINALLY!!! When can we expect a release date? This looks awesome!

[Josh Davidson]

Once again, a other impressive thing by Coasters.Sim.Fan. IF you can, show me photos of it at nighttime, i would like to see that,

awesome i cant wait to use these for my park

[The Griffon]

Paul likes my ideas.

I like it man! I can't wait for the release of this set because I will definetely download it! Keep it up! Are you planning to add anything to this set? I think some path lights that are more realistic, like lights that are about 3 ft tall... they are sorta hard to describe, but they are also needed in the game!

[Coaster Sim. Fan]

Since I was motivated by to comments here is a new picture showing possibility of lights on cat walks.

Cool dude. Those lights look Gangsta!!!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooo!!! Good job Coaster Sim. Fan.

[weasel497]

THATS AWESOME!!! When can we expext a release date? I need these so bad!!!

[Coaster Sim. Fan]

^ I don’t have any exact date for sure but they will probably be out no later then around the first weekend of May.

Here is another example of something that can be done with this set. In the first picture it shows the walk way in the day, in the second picture it shows the walk way at night with no lights, and in the last picture it shows the walk way with some medium strength lighting.

So are these acutally lights or are they just very bright colors?

[Coaster Sim. Fan]

The will or will not give off light it depends on what you (the person using the set) want them to do. If you read the first post I think it explains the process pretty good.
