BiographyIf we were to compile a list of all that’s useless in modern rock music, we’d be here for days. In fact, it’d probably be easier – and quicker – to rattle off the few undeniably great things roaring up from the underground. Take Indio, California’s HOUSE OF BROKEN PROMISES.
With their Small Stone debut “Using the Useless” this trio is leading the charge against mediocrity and watered down tepidness.Formed from the ashes of the late, great, and woefully underappreciated UNIDA (which also featured John Garcia of KYUSS fame), HOUSE OF BROKEN PROMISES is a no-holds-barred double shot of classic hard rock. You can’t write riffs like the ones found on “Blister” and “Highway Grit” without them being part of your DNA. You can’t lay down grooves like those on “Walk on By” and “Obey the Snake” by accident. You have to feel ’em in your bones.
And that’s exactly what you get with HOUSE OF BROKEN PROMISES. Guitarist Arthur Seay, bassist/vocalist Eddie Plascencia, and drummer Mike Cancino are so in tune with what makes a rock song rock harder and better, it’d be scary if it wasn’t so awesome. When these three get together and play, they lay waste to the has beens, wanna bes, and hipsters, and they say in no uncertain terms, “This is how it’s gonna be.”Small Stone Records is proud to present HOUSE OF BROKEN PROMISE’s full-length debut, “Using the Useless.” You’re going to get your rock’s worth. That’s a promise this house won’t break.
DRP's Lightz V. 2.0I know that one thing that bugs us all is the fact that the lights in the game are so limited. You only get a few colors, and lighting the inside of an attraction looks unapealing because of lights floating in the air.This is why I created DRP's Lightz. Basically, it contains seven colored lights for you to place inside of your attractions. But that isn't the cool part. The cool part is that light is emitted from a very small white sphere.
So, when you put lighting effects on the inside of your attractions, the object that emits the light is barely noticeable. That way, you don't have a floating lamp when trying to light the top corner of a room. Here are some pictures of what the lightz can do.plain old gothic cathedral is transformed into a spooky room with ambient lighting. (uses blue)egyptian movie set is filled with color (uses orange, yellow, and blue)Information-The lightz come in seven colors: Red, Purple, Blue, Cyan, Green, Orange, and Yellow.-They have no collision detection, so they can be placed anywhere.-They are under the 'small scenery' tab-More colors/lightz may be added, so check for updates regularly.
I am still trying to figure out everything there is to figure out about light effect pointsEnlightening tips-The radius of the lightz is 10. Basically, this means that lights will illuminate about 2.5 squares outward. If you want to light an entire room continuously, you must space lightz apart by two squares.-The lights do not line up with the squares perfectly, but most of the time they will work pretty well-These are great for providing hidden, ambient lighting inside of buildings and indoor rides, without the use of a lamp.I hope you enjoy these, and use them well.goodbye everybody, (as in I am done with this post now)Lightz V. 1.5 Release Notes-There is now a white light among the other colors-Also included is a light Envelope (see next section)-Lightz are much smaller, so they are nearly invisible on normal draw distances-The lightz are now aligned with the edge of each tile, so you can align them with rides, or not by using the rotate feature.Version 1.5 of the lightz is now available.Lightz V. 2.0 Release Notes-Magenta light has been added-collision detection bug fixed for the Orange Light-IMPORTANT-If you downloaded version 1 or 1.5, It would be wise to go back into your parks and delete the old lightz, as the new ones are much smaller, and will be hard to delete without the envelope piece around them.
I apologize for the inconvenience.-Please delete the old Lightz folder from the C:program filesatariroller coaster tycoon 3stylethemed before installing Version 1.5-Please read the next section on 'how to use the Envelope'How to use the 'Light Envelope'Those of you downloading this set are probably wondering, 'What the heck is a light envelope?' The light envelope is a tool that will make deleting the lightz a lot easier. Basically, because the new Lightz are very very small, they are a pain to delete, as you have to zoom in a lot to see them.So, I put a 'light envelope' in the set.
The light envelope is a semi-large sphere that will behave as a particle effect, in that, when the scenery window is closed, it is invisible. But when it is open, it is plainly in sight.So, how do you use this? Simple, before you place your light, put the envelope down first, then place the light inside.
The envelope will not effect the light in any way whatsoever, so feel free to place them anywhere. If the light and the envelope do not align, then try rotating them with the Z key, they should always match up perfectly if they are rotated the same way.Download Lightz V. 2.0get the.zip file or.rar fileextract to c:program filesroller coaster tycoon 3stylethemedhttp://darkrideperson.rctextended.com/Others/DRP's%20lightz.rarhttp://darkrideperson.rctextended.com/Others/DRP's%20lightz.zip. You area magician! First MaxximvS makes a great tutorial for my idea, and then you create this piece of scenery that we have been waiting for for so long! Is beyond words. This is perhaps the best custom scenery idea ever.
More useful than Klinn's arches, more amazing than the darkride sets. You are amazing!BRAVO!Oh, i just had an idea.
I proposed an idea on the forums a while ago, about making stars. Stars that look like the firework 1000 stars, but is scenery! Since you could figure out how to do this, could you figure out how to create 10-15 little specs of light that take up a 4 square area, that you could place anywhere? That would also be an amazing invention. Oh, i just had an idea. I proposed an idea on the forums a while ago, about making stars.

That would also be an amazing invention. BRAVO!Only if you can make the dim/grow-in-the-dark light, otherwise it might be too bright in the room (or flash from overdue lights) if the big room is fill up of the star with lighting effect, might not work for dark ride that it will lit everything too much like the track rail will be visible by from bright star lights.Anyway, good news that you have discovered how to the custom lighting in the game. The only complaint I have with this pack is that the lights start up to high and for some reason it dosnt seem like its always in the corner when you spin it.Well I figured out how to make the well laser tunnle effect with these and jcats steelworks what you do is make a long straight area where you can put the tunnle piece on. Then what you do is alternate the tunnle pieces color (cant be a tunnle with red and yellow then blue and green has to be green and blue with blue and green hard to explain you will see.) then you place the color lights you want so they are close but not in the tunnle.Now a pic of inside (red light with black white and white black tunnle) one of the outside (with dark blue lights and same tunnle.) http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y109/hiimmisterdude/Shot0584.jpg.
Nice Work DRP,these will get a lot of use. I got to play around with them a bit, they are GREAT as accent lights also. Heres a couple of pics to show everybody. In the towers dark blue was used They don't show thru Pumpers Dark Ride Tubes, which in my mind is a good thing, under the statue, orange and in the 4 pools,.
Purple These pieces just gave the game a whole new demention. And the effect is stunning.Thanks,Snowhttp://img357.imageshack.us/img357/9472/pq40836dp.jpghttp://img357.imageshack.us/img357/6193/pq40855yq.jpg. Thanks for the lights I have found many uses for them. I believe you mentioned that you might make more lights. If you decide to make more lights here are some suggestions.1.White lights (I know you mention this)2.Make the lights have a diameter of 0.18 (so they fit inside most walls with out being visible)3.Make the objects recoverable (so they blend in better)4.Set the objects to quarter tiles like shyguy pieces (adds a lot more versatility to the piece.5.Position the objects so they line up in the corners of walls set to the quarter grid.Try putting the lights on the glass setting in the importer it might give a nice effect.

I use them a lot.(BTW, Nice avatar DRP). I have a little challenge for you Dark Ride Person, though I'm not entirely sure this is even possible. We have these lights, which are awesome by the way, and they work in such a way that when daylight comes they turn off. Now the challenge I have for you is this: is there any way these same lights can be integrated and controlled in the fireworks mixmaster?
The reason why I ask is because any firework particle created to give the illusion of light does not reflect off of and change scenery like a park light, or these lights, do. What I'm thinking is being able to use these lights to light buildings and the park so when a firework show starts, they go out.
Plus, you could use them to create neat effects during the show, such as changing colors on Cinderella Castle during a fireworks display. What I find with particle created lighting is that you get a dense light that envelopes a building or scenery object, where these lights simply illuminate the walls themselves.Hope that makes sense, and you would be my new best friend if you figured out a way to do this (if, of course, it is infact possible).:D. Like I said before, these things have endless possibilities.they're just incredible! They transform regular old rides at night into spectacular ones! Here's just a few ideas!lights can turn this.this!Also the lightless black launched freefall tower can now look like this:thank you for these wonderful awesome amazing lights!:up::up::up.
Version 1.5 of the lightz is now available.-IMPORTANT-If you downloaded version 1, It would be wise to go back into your parks and delete the old lightz, as the new ones are much smaller, and will be hard to delete without the envelope piece around them. I apologize for the inconvenience.-Please delete the old Lightz folder from the C:program filesatariroller coaster tycoon 3stylethemed before installing Version 1.5-Please visit the first post for 'how to use the Envelope'Ok, now to the stuff in version 1.5-A white light is now available-The lightz are now aligned better. They do not reside in the dead center of a tile, but along the center of the line between tiles, that way, you can line it up with rides and/or walls-The light envelope Piece is now available (see first post). The latest zip is a bit confusing, the folder you want out of the mess is the DRP Lightz folder - the rest (including the Programs Folder) are empty - just extract that folder and place it in the StylesThemedhere's a screenshot of the folder that you need to extract when you open the zip:(a look at the new lightz just a sec ago - WOW are they small! And the White light like the creme and cherry on the banana split!.shakes Kee101. ok, snap out of it. You know i must be really messed up.no matter how hard i try i just cant figure this pack out.i have all kinds of custome scenery but this one has stumped me.i just dont know what to do.i did what you told me to but when i open the zip all i see is 9 folders and 2 ovls.ok, here is what you do, open it in WinZip or whatever program you use.
Then use the browse option to find the correct folder. Find C:Program FilesAtariRoller Coaster Tycoon 3StyleThemed. After you have found this, click the extract button, and it should work.I am currently Fixing the Zip File, so don't use the one you have now.Check back tomorow, and the correct file will be up. Ok, I removed them from my scenario, and installed the new ones.
But I'm still getting the no svd: for:sid error. I'm looking at the folder I installed it to (C:Program FilesAtariRollerCoaster Tycoon® 3StyleThemeddrplightz) right now, and it's there without anything seeming wrong.This is what the folder looks like when I look inside:idea? I looked through this thread, and Kee is having the same problem, but I still don't know how to fix it. Ok, I removed them from my scenario, and installed the new ones. But I'm still getting the no svd: for:sid error.
I'm looking at the folder I installed it to (C:Program FilesAtariRollerCoaster Tycoon® 3StyleThemeddrplightz) right now, and it's there without anything seeming wrong.This is what the folder looks like when I look inside:delete all of the Lightz files from your directory and try this new linkfreewebs.com/darkrideperson/DRPLightzONEPOINTFive.rarThis SHOULD work.This is a temporary file and/or webspace I am using until I get my archive program to work correctly. The new RAR file above looks good;)you're missing the folder which they should be in -Create a folder called DRP's lightz in the Themed folder - then take that content and put it in there (note, if you stuck those in the folder already - you'll have to delete them and the two OVL files first)Edit: see, that's what I get for going for a drink first. HeheheEdit: I see from that last post Dat, that your drp folder is named wrong - not drplightz, but DRP's Lightshere's a screenshot of my working folder(http://img84.imageshack.us/my.php?image=lightz6aa.jpg). I love the new, improved version of this set, once I got it installed.
(Your archived file was a mess). I didn't care for the golf ball sized lights from the first set and the omission of white light. But now, it's SO much better.except for one tiny little oops.The orange light has collision detection turned on, whereas all the others don't.But besides that, great job on this, and I have a feeling this is only the beginning of some new, cool features we'll be seeing when the tranformation matrix is fully figured out.
Since your getting good at lighting/particle effects. Is it possible to have neon signs? I'd love to be able to light up some of my signs, but i'm not sure if it's possible. Any ideas?As far as this set goes, i honestly believe this is a wonderful creation. My only crit would be as far as i'm concerned every light source should have a. Having the light appear from nothing doesn't really suit my needs.
The effect is awsome, but i would prefer some kind of visual representation, like small spot lights stuck on the ground of some kind.But i'm seriousally impressed with some of the screenshots appearing in this thread. It gives the whole game a brand new aura. Since your getting good at lighting/particle effects. Is it possible to have neon signs?

It gives the whole game a brand new aura.Well, these lights are just to make it so that in order to light your attractions, you don't have to have some lamp fifty feet in the air.As to your neon sign question, yes.and no. I can light the sign up, but I cannot actually get a neon texture onto the sign. That would require adding an additional texture to the light. Oh right, sorry:oI took them as enviromental lights considering most of the screenshots i've seen in the thread. But being a muppet, i didn't look/read the title. Appolgies:rolleyes:Hmm, it's slightly frustrating, i was considering creating two versions of the sign. A day/night version, but i don't think theres anyway of scripting the objects to change when it changes time.
I'll have to have a play and see what i can come up with. Would be great if we could have neon signs, that would make such an impact on parks. Espically the letters pack. DRP, these are GREAT. Thank you for making and sharing these! Question for you-and this will illustrate my igorance about programming and making custom scenery. Is it possible to create a light that actually emits.black.
and will therefore create more darkness in an area of a given radius? I know we can use the darkride black wall set to create pitch blackness, but building a black 'shell' around an entire ride is pretty tedious. Just a thought. Thanks for sharing!also if you guys are fans of hip hop check out my music at peepshowrecords.com click on fetured artist and then music.:up:Kee, please don't use someone else's thread to promote your own website, especially non-RCT3-related. That's what your sig is for.:).
I was wondering if you had the chance to read my earlier post about integrating these lights into the Mixmaster DarkRidePerson. Is that even possible?I did read that postUnfortunately, this is not possible. The reason for this is that the mixmaster uses particle effects and lasers and the like. These are mostly static images that have been doubled over themselves.Lights, on the other hand, work by overlaying color and luminosity onto the surrounding textures.Currently, the game's engine does not support the use of lights in the mixmaster. All i have to say is THANK YOU! This set has allowed almost everyone to accent their parks and coasters. It really vitalized the night in my latest park:just isnt green without.more green:for coaster elements, the red makes a dramatic tunnel entrance:again DRP - this set totally enhanced the game and brought it to a new level.
Maybe this has been answered already.but here goes. I want to include the revised pack, but will I need to delete the current pack from my folder, or will the new one simply overwrite everything? I really don't want to have to go through Royaume and delete every single light (mostly 'cause they're so hard to locate from a distance).on these, you don't have to delete them from the parks, because they are the same exact model as before. However, you must delete them from your stylethemed folder first.
Ok, I place the lights inside the light envelope but then can't find the objects again if I want to delete them.If I reinstalled the old lights, would I then be able to see these light objects since they'd be the bigger ones? But then, the park wouldn't be able to load the light envelope anyway and the program would crash?!Can't you make the lights themselves big when you place them but invisible when the scenery window is closed?As big and ugly as the original lights were, at least they were easy to delete. It's too hard to place these smaller ones exactly where you want them.

The reason the envelope is there is to remind you where you put the lights, so you don't have to look around. EDIT: I've solved the problem, I didn't know that lightz and leftoverz doesn't appaere in the wall category, but in another one, sorry. All is 100% working.The lightz doesn't work with my computer.But is that possible: I've installed 4 packs (Pumper's Dark Ride, Klinn's Electroshock, Marnetmar's Leftoverz and Lightz) at the same time and only two of them have been working when I started playing RCT3.
I'm wondering if it's because I've installed too much packs at the same moment. Can this reason explain my problem?Thanks.PS: Where can I download the v1.5? Maybe it will work.

Hmm i don't know maybe it didn't go in correctly. Just try again and put it in this, just copy and paste this its the exact destinationC:Program FilesAtariRollerCoaster Tycoon® 3StyleThemedalso some custom scenery don't show up in when u click the small tab, just leave them all up,And DRP i have a problem with your lightzi put a bunch of clear ones in a station platform and shadows from the lightz move around, I know i pm'd u but that was like two months ago so maybe someone else know's whats up with the lightz.-ryguy. Thank you u saved my life! I was working on a park that was almost finished but then my computer crashed and everything was lost including my park! But now I have the Platnum version and starting over ADVENTURE PARK witch has seven main lands, Coloneal Plaza, Fairytale Kingdom, Old West, Future World, Spooksville, Jungle Island, and Pirate Docks. There are more lands and lots of exiting rides when I finish I'll put it up fore download but I need a castle for Fairytale kingdom. I want it to be like disneylands but unique.
PLZ help someone.
