OpenRCT2-Access v0.8

Accessibility improvements for blind players (NVDA + keyboard).

New in this release

  • Pre-built ride menus read in full. Selecting a ride and browsing its pre-built designs now reads, in order: name, cost, dimensions, the three ratings, the in-game description, and a visual description. Press I on a design to open a vertical list of the extended statistics (max/average speed, ride length, G-forces, air time, drops, drop height, inversions) and arrow through them.
  • Specific, data-derived design descriptions. Each pre-built design now gets its own visual description generated from its real track data: the shape of the layout (hills, turns and how sharp they are, inversions, helixes, patterns), notable features (chain lift, boosters, water splashes, on-ride photo), and its default colour scheme. Two designs of the same ride type now read differently.
  • Ride visual descriptions for every ride type in the New Ride window, describing what each ride looks like.
  • Ride placement facing fixed. Pressing R while placing a ride now reports the correct, absolute compass direction the entrance faces.
  • Camera rotation on Shift plus arrows. Shift+Right rotates the view 90 degrees clockwise, Shift+Left rotates it counter-clockwise. (Previously this was on Enter, which was easy to trigger by accident.)

Notes

  • If you previously customized the rotate-view shortcut in Options, your saved binding takes priority over the new default.
  • Requires your own copy of the original RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 game files, as usual.
