Description
This the Grid Free Version. Grid-based version is available on my collection page: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1669692889

Enhance your dark rides with pure black panels. There's no need to burrow your masterpiece underground (though that's certainly a less taxing alternative). PlanCo's Colourable Panel with black still can display gray shading, depending on time of day and direction of panel. BlackOut panels remain black -- day or night!

NOTE: This will not turn the lighting off of track (no way around that) - only its surroundings will be be pitch black.

​​I opted for no grid this time around for versatility, as walls can easily become floors or ceilings. I'm working on a grid version now, because while limited, it is a much faster and efficient way to shoot out black tiles which can be tricky to work with.

A bit of trivia: I released the first black walls for RCT3 back in 2005.

Nice! I love the idea of them being non-grid. Walls, ceilings, and floors all in one. Thank you for sharing with us.

Wonderful Jcat! I remember discovering your pitch black walls from back in 2005 for RCT3 when I first joined atari forums; now its back! Thanks so much! Stop by shyguysworld sometimes.

Right right! Thank you for reminding me. The same problem I remember with RCT3: No way to turn off the coaster track lighting. History repeating itself - except back then, the modder who started it all was able to get the track pitch black (though that was a long time after). I'm going to update this to remind subscribers.

The only issue is that the lighting on roller coaster and track rides looks the same. The recolorable panel Planco made those the same effect. I made a cube around a coaster track and the light still illuminates on the track. Its a good effort though as an alternative to using the Adventure blacked out blocks, or Planco recolorable panels but it does not make your rides a true dark ride during the day time.
