Official RCT/RCT2 Help Thread

Hey, I have a question. Should I get RCT2 on my Vista computer or go for RCT3? I hear Vista encounters fewer problems with the latter. Thanks!

[molemaster43]

Yeah, it does. I've had some problems with my own RCT2 game on Vista. RCT3 doesn't run amazing on Vista either.

[djbrcace1234]

Vista has always worked well for me, besides merging. But that is just my expierence.

[MeMeMe]

Meh, I don't do merging. But there's hope yet; I still have the XP computer and I might be able to get it running by next weekend, and clean it up so I have enough room for both games.

My humble return to RCT2. It feels good to play again. New park name : Intrepid Circle.

 

 

DARN! I can't find my screenshots anywhere. Can someone help me?

[A.J.]

They should be in right in your RCT2 directory. For the original game, look in Program Files (x86) > Infogrames Interactive, and for the TTP, look in Program Files (x86) > Atari.

 

If they're not, here's a similar post from the NoLimits help thread -

All of those screenshots and videos that you thought you took and those tracks you thought you saved are found in Users -> Your Name -> AppData -> Local -> VirtualStore -> Program Files (x86) -> NoLimits Coasters. You may have to "show hidden files and folders" to locate the AppData folder, look it up on Google or something.

 

An application like DaisyDisk is a great way to locate those files taking up precious space on your hard drive.

In your case, look in the RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 folder.

Thanks alot for this! The problem was that my new computer is Windows and my old one XP, and I was looking in the wrong place.

Hey all I have a question, Is it possible to get a minture railway train to look like it is running on rollercoaster mine train tracks can this be done? If so please help!

[molemaster43]

I believe it is possible, but you have to use the 8Carspertrainer. You can download it on Pg. 13 of this thread and you can Google some tutorials.

[RCT2day]

So I've been experimenting with 8cars (the one from pg. 13 here) and I have a couple of questions Google cannot answer (and they sound really simple but this is my first time using any trainer):

 

1. How do I launch from a Giga Coaster (that's the Intamin track)?

2. How do I change from one track piece to another (for example, from a B&M Flying to 4-D)?

3. How do I make stations invisible without making the track invisible?

 

EDIT: I figured out my first question.

I'll send you a PM

I am having trouble with the Scenario Editor in RCT2:TTP. Well, I recently downloaded some CS and put it into the game. However, whenever I get to the small objects section in the Scenario Editor, I am unable to scroll down. I found this odd because I could scroll down in all of the other tabs. Can someone help me? Thanks.

[Xtreme97]

This is caused by having too many small scenery objects in your objdata folder. How much CS did you actually download? It should take quite a lot of objects before it's full.

[molemaster43]

I honestly do not know. Should I remove some of the stuff from the ObjData folder?

[Xtreme97]

I suggest looking through the Exchange for any useful tools for sorting out your objects.

[molemaster43]

Okay I found something in the Game Exchange that helped me. Thanks for the help.

On what page are the links for the custom flats? Sorry but I'd prefer not to have to search through 100+ pages to find it thanks.

Okay... I have RCT2 and legally bought it. I have it installed on my computer entirely. Quite recently, I realized that I could not find the disk. Does anybody know where I could find a reliable No CD patch that doesn't need WinRAR to open? Thanks in advance! I want to get back to parks, but without the disk, I'm a bit lost!

[A.J.]

Is there a map editor for RCT2? I'm having some trouble with construction rights. Whenever I set certain squares as construction rights in the scenario editor, when I go to save the scenario and open it, the squares are set to unowned.

 

The squares I want to set as construction rights have a path on them, and they need to stay as construction rights/unowned because the path leads to the park entrance.

 

I tried using 8 Cars Per Trainer to invert land ownership a few times so I could construct the stuff I needed, but whenever a guest in the park needs to use the path that goes over and above the unowned area, they turn around and go the other way.

 

EDIT: It seems the only issue arises when I'm doing construction rights over the only path that leads into the park, which makes me feel a little bit better.

[simaticable]

I think you have to set the tiles to buy construction rights. I have done what you tried to do, but the way I just describes works. You have to buy those rights, but it should work. Hope this helps!

[A.J.]

Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't work.

[simaticable]

You have to buy the construction rights after you start playing the scenario. That's why you never got construction rights as soon as you open a scenario created by the creators of the game.

Thanks,is AE's site still up? I had quite few of his works on my older system & really want to get some of those on the laptop.

[simaticable]

Not right now for some reason. Look in the lost object data thread for his rides.
