Think we can make an OpenRCT2 category for every scenario, where we allow fastforwarding? OpenRCT2 can load the RCT1 scenarios as well. Same was done for all RCT2 scenarios, they now also have an OpenRCT2 category.
OpenRCT2 allows RCT1 integration, so basically you get a new platform to play the exact same RCT1 scenarios on. Me and some other people would like to speedrun the RCT1 scenarios on OpenRCT2, but currently we have no place to do this. We could ask the guys on /rct2 to add the scenarios there, but since they're already here it's probably easier to add an OpenRCT2% category here.
I think it'd be great to have a place to speedrun RCT1 scenarios in ORCT2. Personally, I think it makes more sense to have in in RCT1 since RCT 1 and 2 aren't all that different to begin with, but it could honestly go either way. Would love to hear what HotCoffee has to say about that. Though I'd really like to get rid of RCT Classic runs before adding ORCT2 categories. There was some interest in giving Classic its own page, but that didn't go anywhere. And I haven't seen a single Classic run get submitted since I became a moderator.
Hey! Just reposting what I mentioned in the RCT2 page thread over here. I too think it would be a good idea to nix the RCTClassic category, OpenRCT2 already delivers all of the features that Classic has (namely fastforwarding), and more. Plus, Classic doesn't even have all the scenarios (Urban Jungle is missing) so IMO, it's much inferior to OpenRCT2. It's like the Donut Mod that Simpsons Hit and Run runners use, a program that was made by fans of the games who are much better slaves to detail than the actual developers. And plus, since Classic doesn't even have any runners, whereas OpenRCT2 already has a Full-Game run, I think it's safe to assume which one would be the more popular category. But yeah, RCT1 scenarios for RCT1, RCT2 scenarios for RCT2.
I'm considering doing a RCT1 complete-the-coasters IL in OpenRCT2. I'm guessing OpenRCT2 exclusive features like using hotkeys are fair game. I haven't noticed any OpenRCT2 runs in the Original% IL categories. If I use OpenRCT2 features but not fast-forward, can I submit it as Original%?
