Save. Save. Save. SAVE. SAVE. SAVE. SAAAAAAAAAAVE.

 

Sorry, I have no sympathy, it happens to the best of us, but you need to SAVE YOUR GAME OFTEN.

[SFGAm Shock Wave]

Would anyone here be able to edit the Wooden Coaster 6 Seater Reversed car to reduce or eliminate the increase in intensity? As it is now, it is just way too difficult to keep the intensity under 10 with the backwards trains.

[AltonTowersNerd]

Ok so I need to save my game, thanks. I know what to do btw... i should of saved it.

[Myself]

I could have sworn there was a thread in this forum that had just about every custom ride, trainer, path, etc. for RCT2, but several different attempts to search for it have yielded nothing...anyone know what happened to it?

[A.J.]

We pulled it under dmaxsba's request. Most, if not all, the files are hosted at RCTMart in some way, shape, or form.

You guys know that tool in SE that puts things like trees into random spots around where you clicked? Do you know if 8 cars has an option for it? I'm putting some woods around one of my rides and don't want to work more than I have to.

[RCT2day]

^sorry accelerate, can't help you there

 

In the original RCT one could open doors and have rides go through them. I've seen the same in RCT2 and also guests going through doors into buildings. Without hacks and any trainers, how does one make rides go through doors (if one can)?

[MeMeMe]

Certain rides can go through doors, and certain cannot; peeps definitely can't, and I don't think any coasters can go through doors in RCT2.

[djbrcace1234]

The wooden mouse and the wild mouse are the two that I know can go through walls. You just place the walls with the doors on them, and they should be able to be built without clearance issues. Peeps, no, you do have to hack the clearances to do that.

^ and ^^, that worked. Thanks a lot guys

[AJClarke0912]

It's basically any "thin-tracked" ride. Wild mouse (wood/steel), any car ride, helicopters, and [i think] monorail cycles, etc. Inverted hairpin coasters do NOT work though because they are inverted and require more clearance.

Does anyone know where I could find a working download of ParkDat? The one in the Game Exchange is dead.

[A.J.]

I still have the .zip file. Here you go.

parkdat_0.zip

[Kraken & Manta]

Could someone do the invisible ride entrance hack for me?

[tdub96]

Ditto.

[CarolinaCoasterFreak]

Simple question here guys ... I've taken tons of snapshots and looked in just about every folder I have and cannot find them! It's very frustrating to know they're somewhere but can't find em! Anyone know what folder they may be hiding in? Any help is appreciated.

[QueerRudie]

Check in your Infogrames Interactive file (Where your RCT II is stored) as usually that's where they end up automatically.

 

Example:

C:\programfiles\infogramesinteractive\Rollercoastertycoon2

[CarolinaCoasterFreak]

Yep, one of the many places i've looked Rudie. I've opened every RCT folder I have, they're just not there. Really don't know where else to look. There can't be too many more folders on my PC I haven't looked.

[QueerRudie]

OK:

 

Depending on what operating system you are using, and your type of config, you will most likely find your pics here:

 

A screenshot off of my own computer.

 

Mind you, I'm running Windows 7, this may be different depending on your operating system and computer configuration.

 

Other than that, I'd search for screenshots using this: SCR1.BMP in the "Search Function" for Windows: It should locate at least one of your pictures from that point on; note WHERE it found the picture once you do locate it.

 

R.D.

[A.J.]

Remember that RCT2 is located in the "Program Files (x86)" folder in Windows Vista and 7 as opposed to "Program Files" in XP and below.

 

The other thing I'd suggest is do a search for files starting with "SCR".

[CorkscrewFoley]

Yeah, I discovered that last summer AJ while working on a nearly perfect version of Letliner using TPR footage. That turned me off to Vista even more. lol

[CarolinaCoasterFreak]

I Have windows vista , with which i've never had problem with the last 4 yrs. up until now. I did try the search function, and this is the weird thing, it did bring up screenshots , but they weren't mine. I've done a lot of digging, and can't even find the parks i've downloaded! Or even the scenarios i've created. But when I open the game they're there! I've never had the trouble with any game or program looking for its files until now. The only way I can actually upload my track of the week is to right click on my saved game when RCT is open, Mail it to myself, and then upload it from my downloads section.

Thanks for the help guys, I just won't be able to post screenshots.

[PSiRockin]

Okay, with Intamin launchers, some people have the game's auto-cable-lift track along the coaster's launch track. How do you do that?

[tdub96]

^Apply the chain to the track where you want the acceleration to be, then use 8cars to jack up lift chain speed.

[PSiRockin]

Not that. I'll have to find a picture of what I mean.
