Hmm ... Thanks for making this!

 

How do you get RCT3 Custom flat rides into the game? I have downloaded them, but IDK where to put them.

[terrancew_hod]

The custom rides should have the instructions, but generally you create a 'custom' directory under the Style directory. Then you move the ride there.

I'm having problems with the CS paths. Whenever I put them on a queue for a coaster, the mechanic can't go on them. The mechanic just stays in one spot, and it won't climb the stairs to the ride. I use Aceana's paths and for the station I used Shy Guy's Fish Cove Set. Do you have any ideas so that peeps can actually walk on them?

[Speeddeamon128]

Thanks for making this thread. How do you take still pics? I no how to record videos but I can't figure out how to take pics.

[christianscoasters]

Where can I get all 3 Wild! updates?

[monkeyoverlord71]

Are you talking about RCT3 if so you need to put proper paths under the custom ones.

The custom paths are only path covers.

[mcjaco]

They're just path covers. Not actual paths. No one has been able to figure out how to macke custom paths that work.

 

I'm moving this into the RCT3 Help Thread Sticky.

you also have to put a original RCT3 path underneath the path cover.

Thats why it is called "cover"

 

I need help with making custom logos for my rides, could someone please help me with this?

 

Do you mean Custom scenery or just a photoshop logo ?

[DCQ-coasters]

Hey people! sometimes when i look at other people's rct3 parks the backround for the park is a city. When i tried to change the backround on my game the only two options are "None, and Mountains" Is there some thing that i have to download to get the city backround, if there is could someone post a link? well that's all so please comment if you have an answer.

 

ADMIN EDIT: Moved into the RCT3 Help Thread. No need to start a new thread. And no need to requote your post after this one.

[Rct3Mike]

You need to open your park in the scenario editor, where you can customize everything from backgrounds to weather.

[expeditioneverestfan]

When name a peep D lean and you get the custom routes camera editor thing, how do you use that? And anytime I press the record button on it it's at the bottom of the screen. How do I use it?

I've downloaded some custom coaster cars but I don't now where to put them to get them in the game. Where do they go?

[HPCrazy]

I didn't know if any of you tried using the Steelworx "Support Killer" feature to eliminate the supports on the log flumes and mine train rides in RCT3? Do they all dissappear? I couldn't get the supports directly under the track (for those two rides types) to vanish. Is there something I am doing wrong or is there a trick to it?

 

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

[nitrofan]

Does anyone know of any good sites that you can download recreations from?

 

I've tried Coaster Grotto, but I can't find any other good ones.

 

Thanks

It doesn't work on coaster that have "wooden" support type.

Your best bet is to download The_Cook's trackbeds , and use the support killer in that set.

 

It's a tiny square that you need to place just under the track , that should work

 

 

OR if you don't want any support at all , go to option , show LOD settings , and then turn down both bars after supports

[mcjaco]

^ Using a scenery item, like one of the small boulders, and dropping it under ground will do the same thing too.

[coasterdude5]

^ No, that doesn't work. Not with wooden supports.
