I have a quick question. What kind of track can be made invisible and what cant be made invisible? Can what I want invisible be a merged part of a track but have the other half still visible? Am I making any sense at all?

 

Quick example: Like if you were to merge the giga coaster track to the B&M looper track for some reason. Could the B&M track be made invisible while the giga track is still visible and still operate like a merged coaster?

 

Sorry, Ive got a stellar idea for my park but I cant do it to how I like it if I cant make the merged track invisible as it looks rather silly but it's a necessary evil... Oh and its not the example above. Its drastically different.

 

Any help is welcome! Thanks in advance, Joel

^You could but the track beyond the merge must be going the opposite direction so it dosent glitch and make ghost track. Diagonals cant be made invisible though.

[tdub96]

So what you want is for it to merge tracks, but look like it never merged?

[10ryansmith]

Would someone like to attempt to merge and then make the suspended track invisible for me? I cant seem to do it. It keeps error trapping on me... Please just PM me. Thanks in advance! Joel.

Hi, im having trouble downloading park into my RCT2 game. Does anyone have any suggestions or know of a tutorial that I can use?

[A.J.]

Saved games will open if you just double-click on them.

 

Double-clicking a scenario will install it to your game.

[Andrewoplis]

^ Ive tried that, but my computer says that I need something to download and open the scenario with. Any suggestions?

[djbrcace1234]

Sounds like the saved game isn't exported.Mine sending the file as an attachment on here so I can export it perhaps?

[A.J.]

Second suggestion - simply copy/paste the SC6 file into your scenarios folder.

 

C: -> Program Files (x86 if you have Vista or 7) -> Infogrames Interactive (Atari if you have Triple Thrill Pack) -> RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 -> Scenarios.

 

Also, make sure the file you want to open is a .SC6 file. RCT2 scenarios have the same icon as RCT1 scenarios, but RCT1 scenarios have the extension .SC4.

[Andrewoplis]

^ The think is, when I download it, it does not download as a SC6 file because my computer wants to know what program I want to download it with, and im not sure what program that is.

Are you using a Mac or PC? I use a PC, it doesn't give me these troubles. There should be an option for "save" when you're downloading it, save it to your computer first, then open it. I hope this helps.

I'm having a serious problem with RCT2 freezing constantly. When it freezes, I have to completely shut off my computer in order to continue.

[accelerate]

Did you wait for it to unfreeze? If you did, then I can't help you. My only suggestion would be to lay of rct2 for a while. I you didn't, though (which I highly doubt), then I would wait next time. If you're on a laptop, like me, you should move it around every so often so it doesn't overheat.

Can anyone reference me to an RCT2 tutorial that will teach me how to get rid of the brown pad that rides are built on, as well as getting rid of the huts? I'm thinking about creating a very tight park (sound familiar?).

 

EDIT: I'm also looking for some great roadway/highway CS, with traffic signals and such. Anyone have any of that?

Aj, to remove the brown pad you just color the land underneath a different color and use map object manipulation on 8 cars to lower it by one unit. To remove the huts, follow this tutorial: http://www.nedesigns.com/topic/20618/hack-like-a-winhacker/

[A.J.]

I actually stumbled on that tutorial when I was poking around over at NewElement (GASP!) earlier this morning. I also found a park that had the road objects I wanted in it.

 

Thanks for letting me know, Coupon. I finally have a use for the checkerboard land tiles after all! I just didn't realize removing the pad was as simple as a map object manipulation.

How would I raise the vehicle up to be above the water?

Raise the track up..

Or maybe try this rapids tutorial from dmzxbsa if you're feeling really ambitious...

[-Edge of Beast-]

So... can you use CS in RCT1?

 

If so, how do you make/download it?

[A.J.]

No, you can't, as far as I know.

[accelerate]

AJ is right, Rct 1 will not accept custom scenery, don't even attempt at making it, it won't work. I keep it soly to play the scenarios, but IMO, that's all it was intended for. I do believe their is a way to make custom scenarios, but it requires an out side program.

Im having issues... Help is needed...

Also, Im running TTP on W7. Thanks!

[djbrcace1234]

Under landscape with 8cars newest version, (1.32) use cap land max, and it should lower to the point you can manually lower it back down.

 

Sorry I'm late.

[10ryansmith]

Is there a way to get a lift hill on the LIM track? I need it for a launch... Dont ask its complicated. lol. Thanks in advance!
