dmaxsba2408 Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 ^ That would be really GREAT! Your "How To" for Toggle Chain was perfect and I am sure many people (more than who posted) use it quite often. Any kind of tricks you want to pass along to the members here at TPR would be of tremendous value for those trying to improve their skills. As mentioned before if we ever get enough "How To"'s put together they could end up all being placed in a sticky so they are not lost in the depths of the forums. So happy you are starting to come back around TPR and share some of you amazing skills and ideas with us.
BelgianGuy Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 Haha thanks, if you want dmax you can get a personal preview of seaworld cuz its finished... Just name a few things you guys want some "how to" from... there are a few things I can do so when I find the time I'll post em, Also I think it'd be cool to have a subforum in the games section only for the "how to" threads so as you've pointed out that they won't get lost in the depths of the forums... So if anybody want to ask something specific I'll take requests... I'll try to get a decent switch track hack up by the end of the weekend if you guys don't mind...
Raymond333 Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 Does anyone know how to make an Intamin ZacSpin in RCT2? And I think those "How To" s would be awesome.
BelgianGuy Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 I can make a zacspin but it doens't look anywhere near good in RCT2, believe me but if you really want to try I advise you to take a closer look to the 4D coaster
dmaxsba2408 Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 ...you can get a personal preview of seaworld cuz its finished How can I say no to that. No hurry though. But WOW, yes I would love to see it. As with parks quality over quantity anytime, so take as much time as you need to get the switch track hack posted. Dotrobot buddy, here is your chance to REALLY get some good instructions on using 8cars and SOB, BelgianGuy is taking requests!
Raymond333 Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 Thanks alot BelgianGuy. But do you know how to make those tight quarter loops like the coasterball on rct3?
BelgianGuy Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 that is where it goes wrong with RCT2, you can't accurately do those, you have to use those ugly big quarter loops from the 4D, I've tried with merges and stuff but it can't be done in a way it looks good imo, LL merges are better for the type of ride though....
CCI Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 ^ not exactly sure If this why you would post this. It still did not work but I'll try again.
Raymond333 Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 I have a BIG problem. I downloaded RCT2 Modified and it didn't work. I messed around with the files. Still didn't work. Then, I uninstalled RCT2 Modified. Started RCT2. First a window with a texbox and two buttons came up. I pressed one and an error window came up saying "Missing or inaccesable data file". I downloaded the demo and got the G1 file from there. I put it in the full RCT2 data folder and the text box window didn't come up but the error window did. Could this because of me having Triple Thrill pack and replacing the G1 file with the one from the original? REALLY need to fix this! Thanks. Oh, and thanks tdub96.

Same thing happen to me, so I just uninstalled the game completley and it works, but I no longer can open games as shortcuts on my desktop though. Just uninstall the game a s awhole and see how that works out.
Raymond333 Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 But if I uninstall it, I'd have to buy it again.
dmaxsba2408 Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 ^ You didn't make a back up of your RCT2 files before installing RCT2M. I just don't understand why it causes so many issues for some people, I don't have any problems switching from one to the other and back again. I will add a to the warning sections about issues with the Triple Thrill Pack and make the warning to BACKUP your game even BIGGER than it was before.
Fat-G Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 I love the idea of the "How To" section, there are a couple of things that i need to know how to do 1 how to properly lower a wooden coaster to make catwalks, 2 how to get rid of the dirt base on rides and replace it with concrete. This would be very helpful because im currently stalled on my Paramount's Kings Adventures without these.
djbrcace1234 Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 2. how to get rid of the dirt base on rides and replace it with concrete. This would be very helpful because im currently stalled on my Paramount's Kings Adventures without these. Look up this tutorial, as it shows you the basic concept of that idea. Making anything invisible
BelgianGuy Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 Srry for not answering anything yet but I've been swamped with schoolwork atm, as soon as I've got time I'll make some how to topics for you guys, but as I've said I'll take specific requests so I'm not explaining stuff you guys already know so I don't waste my time with pointless threads, just post wich how to you want and I'll reply if I can do the specific hack or not and I'll make the how to then... Examples I can make, ferris wheel lift for a rapids ride, Stationary train in transfer sections, applies for any stationary train you want placed aswell Simple realistic stations for coasters and flats.... the non-glitching wooden catwalks on B&M coasters... to name just a few,
dmaxsba2408 Posted October 26, 2010 Posted October 26, 2010 ferris wheel lift for a rapids ride, I would love to see ^that^!
BelgianGuy Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 well its basically being smart with merges but I'll make a how to some time this week, have vacation then if you guys want the stationary trains I'll do those 2 but that's a tricky one but I'll explain that in the thread... But this question for the mod or admin of this forum, CAN WE PLZ HAVE A HOW TO OR TUTORIAL SUBFORUM PLZ, this would make everything a lot easier...

But this question for the mod or admin of this forum, CAN WE PLZ HAVE A HOW TO OR TUTORIAL SUBFORUM PLZ, this would make everything a lot easier... There are several ways to make the stationary trians as well, so if you want me to do something like that for you, I can.
sfgamguy Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Hello, I'm new to TPR and have a question. If i want to post a RCT2 park how do I get the pictures that I have taken in the game? P.S. I'm very excited to join the site. I've looked at it for a month now and love everything i see.
10ryansmith Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 First off, Welcome. Ok, first; what system are you on? I really cant help now.
braztaz Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Well, for most systems all you do is go to 1. My Computer 2. Your C: Drive 3. Program Files (x86) 4. Infrograms Interactive 5. Roller Coaster Tycoon 6. Then, find the "Compatibility Files" button on your toolbar
sfgamguy Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Thank you both I found it. I can't wait to start posting.
dmaxsba2408 Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 Look forward to seeing what you can do with the game, also remember that here at TPR you do not need an outside hosting site for your pictures or park downloads. Just use the attachment area at the bottom of your posts. TPR will take care of everything for you. Just make sure your pictures are not oversize. 800x600 is the max, honestly they really don't even need to be that big.
Kraken & Manta Posted November 6, 2010 Posted November 6, 2010 Can someone please tell me why this isn't working? I've pulled off a merge like this before and it worked fine. SCR2.BMP Each color is a different coaster.
