IMPORTANT NOTICE
WHEN USING DOMES
AND DOME
TOPPERS!
Due to
the size of the
included Space
Domes, Dome
interiors, and
Dome Toppers,
you will need to
TURN OFF shadows
in your
RollerCoaster
Tycoon Options.
If you don't,
any Dome-related
object will
simply crash
your game back
to windows.
- Always use the
bottom (base)
part of the dome
quarter to line
up each dome
piece. The
original crash
may have been a
blessing in
disguise, as
having dome
quarters is
actually an
advantage, in
that you can now
mix and match
dome parts for
some bizarre,
yet interesting
results (galaxy
and star combos
for the internal
parts work cool
too).
- The starfield
dome floor has a
bit of
overlapping,
resuting in very
minor flicker in
the center - but
heck, stars
flicker anyway,
and it won't be
noticed in the
long run unless
your building
planetarium
walking tours
for the elderly.
- Build your
dome pieces
first,
then
your
surrounding wall
base, and
finally lay your
floor down at
the end.[/color]

Pre Flight
Information
-
Most (if not
all) objects
use the 1/4
size grid
mode for
maximum
enjoyment;
something
not
aligning?
The Z key
(rotate) is
your friend.
-
Some objects
have their
own lighting
at night.
-
Domes are
great for
twisting,
smaller
track style
coasters, so
don't expect
to stuff a
HyperCoaster
inside.
-
For
experienced
builders,
there are a
number of
wall styles
and
StarWalls/Floors
to build
your own
indoor space
structure -
with no
limits on
size.
-
The
Decor-Rods
have tiny
bulbs which
illuminate
at night.
Thanks to
Vodhin's
research, I
was able to
make the
bulbs
colorable.
As with
Vodhin's
colorable
lights, it
is important
to remember
there is a
limitation
in that you
have to
choose your
light color
BEFORE
placing the
rod down. If
you choose
black,
you'll get
no
illumination
at all. You
can also
change the
Rod color at
any time,
independently.
-
Mix up your
starfields
so they
don't look
like
repeated
patterns.
Rotate, even
overlap for
some
convincing
effects. The
StarCube
will
give more
depth to
outer space
by adding
3D-like
stars.
Again,
rotate and
stack the
Starcube for
the ultimate
flight - and
at night,
the StarCube
takes on an
interesting
effect.
-
Vodhin's
donated
space stall
can be found
with the
scenery
items.
-
One item
pictured
during the
earlier
stages of
Spaceworx
was not
included
with this
set… The
mixmaster-made
Space Rings
particle
which had
one serious
problem: It
can be seen
through all
walls and
scenery. For
example, if
you had it
deep within
your space
complex, you
can see the
repeating
rings
anywhere in
the park, no
matter how
many layers
of objects
were
blocking it
- and they
were big!
Unfortunately,
this is a
problem with
the way RCT3
handles
certain
fireworks.
A quick sample
of how to build
with some of the
new pieces.
