RCT 3 Questionaire

[californiascreamer1]

1) I need help, every time i try to install the game it says to shut of all other setups or programs when nothing is on.

 

2) How do you build walls that cover stalls and roofs that go on top of stalls

 

3) How do you make custom scenery

 

4) How do you make custom ride supports

 

5) How do you make custom buildings

 

6) How can i theme a ride where it can go inside

 

7) How can i get packs from Atari and put them in the game, for example Steelworx is a downloadable pack. How do i put it into the RCT 3 Files?

1) Double check any security or anti-virus or anything else running in the background. Other than that, dunno.

 

2) Select your wall type. Click the mouse to place that wall. Now put another wall in that same place (square should turn red). Hold shift and move the mouse forward. This will raise the wall above the previous one. Click the mouse while still holding shift to place the wall on top of the first one. You put a roof on a building the same way.

 

3) & 4) No clue.

 

5) There is a building editor mode. If you take the technique from #2 above, you should be able to make a building, and then there should be an option that let's you highlite the squares around the base and save all that as one piece for import later. Will test this out and get back to you on it later. There is a similar option for saving surrounding scenery with a particular ride you've built.

 

6) Once you get comfortable with making buildings, you build the inside, then the outside. Take a look at my Mr. Freeze station at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxGF2TzekUM. While simple, it shows that you have to be a careful planner and leave room for everything before the outside walls go up around the interior. I didn't quite do that, so I wasn't able to include some detail inside the station. Just keep in mind what you'd see while riding the ride and try building that first.

 

7) No clue there.

 

Hope my rambling helps some. Good luck!

1. look above

 

2. the same

 

3. You really want to make custom scenery? then download a 3d-moddelling program and download an program that converts it to the type RCT needs (look at atari-forum for that kind of programs)

 

4. see number 3

 

5. see number 3

 

6. See post above

 

7. first of all, it's not from Atari, it's custom scenery that's been made by rct3 players. download the .rar file and unpack it with WinRaR. then copy the folder you just unpacked and paste it in C:/.../Atari/Rollercoaster Tycoon3/style/themed/. then check if there's a style.common.ovl and a style.unique.ovl file in that folder you just moved to the RCT folder, that way it won't crash when using in rct3

^Somebody did the same for me once and one day it'll be your turn to do the same. Good luck!
