Wait, where is the map/scenario editor?

[neldot]

I just bought the game on sale, expecting an improved RCT 3. The game is visually beautiful, albeit it seems a bit on the easy side, but I'm pretty disappointed by the lack of a scenario editor and a coaster editor, that were both present in RCT3.

I suppose that I can create my own coasters in the sandbox mode, but is there any way to create my own, not sandbox, scenarios and starting maps like in RCT3?

There is currently no map/scenario editor nor have any plans for it been announced.

However, you can create coasters in any game mode. Just click the Coasters tab at the bottom and select the "Custom" tab on the left (as opposed to "Blueprint"). You should see a list of coaster types to choose from.

i dont think it would be possile to make your own map bacause the people enter in a pre-determined spot.

and Tomorrow we are getting a Custom Game Option in which you can Make your own Biomes and put whatever you want whereever you want.

Ok, thank you pals.
Will this custom mode let us customize also the economic parameters of a map?
(I don't know if it's already possible because I didn't play challenge mode).

[King Nothing]

no, just custom Biomes. but it is more customization.

Oooh, I didn't know that. Nice!

It's a custom terrain painter which will allow you to choose up to I think 8 terrain types. So, you'll be able to use snow, desert, jungle, etc all in one park with the Summer update coming tomorrow. As it stands now, if you pick a desert biome you're restricted to desert terrain, so this new update will change that and will allow you to choose what terrain you want using the new custom option. It will also work for existing parks.

You can sculp the terrain right now in the park, make mountains, dig holes, fill them with water, etc. You just can't edit the actual biome you pick beyond the boundries of the park. Regardless, you can still create a pretty cool looking park with the terrain editor. Maybe some day we'll be able to change stuff beyond the boundries.

Well, to be able to customize terrain is sure a pretty good thing, but what made RTC3 so enyojable was the mission editor, that enabled users to release tons of new user created scenarios and parks with different challenges to play.
This increased a lot the replayability of the title, because, as long as other users released scenarios, you never ran out of new parks and challenges to play in RCT3.
I hope that the Devs will give us something similar for this game too, because the tools are already there. It would benefit the entire community to have plenty of fresh usermade scenarios/maps/challenges in the workshop.

I think the point of the game is to let peple share parks so others can walkaround them and enjoy what others created.
