Does anybody know where I can get a Cheetah Hunt ctr for RCT3?? Techo-Dude has one, but i dont think it's released..

^ I don't think there is one. Sorry about that. Something close is Brandon's Intamin Blitz, but no Cheetah Hunt CTR.

[Botch]

Okokokok. I downloaded the Griffon CTR, Put the car & track in the right place, then I put the accesories into the Themed folder, but when I went in-game I only had the CTR and no accesories. I really need the Catwalks to be honest. So can anybody help me?

[SoCalCoasters]

Did you make sure to check in the scenery Item menu as well as the others?

[Botch]

I checked every file it could of been in, I didnt find it..

Ok sorry if this has been asked before but I downloaded RCT3 Platinum from atari and I don't have a Style/Themed folder so I don't have a folder to download custom scenery into. I've tried to make a folder and it didn't work. So does any one know if I'm just waisting my time trying to get custom scenery or is there a way you can get the folder to put custom scenery in?

[A.J.]

First off, you HAVE to have a Style > Themed directory, because the pre-loaded in-game scenery is in there as well.

 

It's probably hidden. you'll want to set up Windows to show hidden files and folders for your RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Platinum directory (do a Google search, this isn't a PC help thread).

Hey guys! I was wondering if anybody had a working download for Techno Dude's Intimidator Cable Lift CTR? Thanks!

[-Edge of Beast-]

^ Nope. That went off the web a few months ago because of someone hacking is account and removing most of his files.

So I tried to download the Neton2 pack with the 40 CSO sets in one, and the first time I downloaded it automatically only the custom scenarios would appear in the game. So then the second time I downloaded them to the Style folder and everything appeared but freezed the game when every I tryied to do anything with the objects. Any helps would be appreciated.

[-Edge of Beast-]

^ I don't think you took the proper folders out of the main one. If you left all of the inside folders in the NetOn folder, it won't work. So you have to make sure you emptied all of the inside folders (CS folders) into Styled > Themed.

 

Wait.. did you put them in Style >Themed? If you didn't, try that.

*Edit* I figured it out thanks for the help.

So after several years, I finally figured out how to get custom flats. Anyway, when I go to use the CFR, it says I'm missing svr and/or sid. What do I have to do to use them without this happening?

[stereohead]

^ You need to make sure that you have extracted the file or files from the .zip or .rar before copying them into your C:\Program Files\Atari\RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Platinum\Style\Custom\(Name of CFR creator) folder. For whatever reason I have found that this causes the no svd for sid error. Hope that helps

Does anybody know how to remove the water detection/boundary for coasters? (It makes log rides so much better.)

[Twitch]

You cannot actually remove the collision detection between those two things, but there is a way to place track in water.

 

This tutorial helped me to figure out how it worked. Perhaps it will help you too.

[A.J.]

So, would placing track just under the water surface create a water splash effect? Or is there something else?

[mcjaco]

^ Nope. You'd have to place a scenery piece that is activated by running over the track. I'm not sure anyone has come out with on of those yet.

[A.J.]

Ah, okay. Thankfully, I have some water effects, so I'll think of something.

[jammy2by4]

I've seen tonnes of people that use CS and CTRs but when I download them I can't find the folder in which to put them. Does anyone have any advice? And also, how do you add them into the game?

 

I shall also add that I use Windows 7.

[MorqStanZa]

Well there are tut's on youtube that are much more helpful but this is basically it:

 

-Make sure you have a program that converts rar files such as Winrar

-This is because some CS that you download are rar files

-In this steps below i'm going to put the program as Winrar

 

-Find the file that you've downloaded (should be in your downloads folder or wherever you've saved it to)

-Using winrar, right click on the file then click extract to

-Just extract it to your downloads folder

-Now you should just have the file/multiple files and sometimes an installation guide

-Then put the folder that you've downloaded, lets say its Shy's Main Street Set 1 into:

C:/Program Files/Atari/RollerCoaster Tycoon 3/Style/Themed

 

Thats it really, it's a bad tutorial since i'm not very good at doing them but if your still not sure then just look one up on youtube

[A.J.]

It should be noted (this is the biggest problem for people installing custom content) that in Vista and 7, RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 is located in the "Program Files (x86)" folder.

I need help.. Can I make my park bigger than it's regular size in sandbox mode?

[grrt]

You have to go through Tools -> Scenario Editor then locate your park by pressing load once the scenario editor opens, select the dropdown menu and choose 'Parks' and choose your park. In one of the menus on the side you have the option of expanding the land.
