Rct3 building

Klinn AT Designamatic DOT com. Acknowledgements First and foremost, major props to JonWil, who somehow managed to decode much of RCT3’s file formats and create an incredibly useful Importer utility. Wouldn’t it be nice if you sent him a PM at the Atari RCT3 forums expressing your thanks? If you want to learn how to build your own custom RCT3 objects, be sure to check out JonWil’s threads in the Custom Scenery Atari RCT3 forum. Thanks as well to many of the Atari forum regulars who have been experimenting with custom objects and sharing their experiences and information. In particular, Pumper, Marnetmar, Guybrush, and Miss O have helped clarify many things that puzzled me as I built the ElectroSet. In addition, there are forum members too numerous to mention whose enthusiasm and interest in this project kept me plugging away at it. And finally, thanks to Frontier and Atari for creating such a fascinating game that just keeps getting better! Yes, you can now recolor the custom walls, roofs, and other objects just like any other RCT3 scenery item! The walls are intentionally done in pale shades of the color you select, while the Electro Posts are darker and shiny. If you already have a park using the old ElectroShock buildings, download the new Setup file and install it. This will automatically overwrite the old walls, roofs, etc, with the new versions. When you open a park that contained the old buildings, you'll probably find most of them are colored medium grey. Use RCT3's "Paint Colors Onto Objects" tool to quickly recolor lots of building blocks and other pieces all at once. (Now updated to work with Wild expansion pack too) (Download the custom building set here - 592KB) (Playing RCT3 on a Mac? Please read this page)

Introduction This is a set of custom walls, roofs, and other odd bits created for use with Roller Coaster Tycoon 3. Many of the pieces were originally created for my ‘ElectroShock Coaster’ but I’ve added a few new ones too. If you want to see what these custom buildings look like in action, there are some video clips here on my site. Custom scenery has only become possible thanks to the hard work of JonWil, who analysed RCT3’s files and created utilities to import objects into the game. A huge round of applause should be sent his way. Caution! Creating and using custom RCT3 objects is still at the experimental stage. While these parts have been tested and should not cause any problems, by using them you are assuming all risk should something corrupt your Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 installation or your parks. Don’t expect any help from Atari or Frontier if things go bad, they will not support a game modified with third-party fan add-ons. Only use this set if you are comfortable mucking around with RCT3’s files. These custom parts were developed and tested on the North American retail release of Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 complete with the Soaked expansion. They should work just as well on other versions, but there are no guarantees. If you’re not confident in your ability to recover from tinkering with RCT3’s files, then don’t. Still with us? OK, below are tips on how to install and use the custom wall set. (Download the custom building set here - 592KB) Installation & Uninstalling Save the ElectroSet Setup program anywhere on your computer and then double-click it to install the custom building set. To uninstall the set, go to the Windows Control Panel and double-click "Add Or Remove Programs". Select "Klinn's ElectroSet Version 2" from the list and click the "Remove" button. After deleting the custom scenery’s folder, if you load a park which included items from the set, it should load OK but of course the custom buildings will be gone. Using the Custom Building Set Start up a new sandbox park or new custom scenario and open the walls section of the scenery list. Make sure you don’t have the Sci-Fi theme filtered out, since that’s where my ElectroSet appears. Scroll down through the wall sets until you see ‘Klinn’s ElectroSet’. If you are trying to use the items in an old park or old custom scenario, not a new one, by default the objects are set ‘To Be Invented’. They will not appear until your researchers discover them. If you want them to be available immediately, you’ll have to make a slight change to the park with the Scenario Editor: - Open the park with the Scenario Editor. - Click the ‘Set Up Inventions’ button. - Select all the ElectroSet items in the middle column. - Click the green arrow under the right column to move the items there. - Save the park. By putting the ElectroSet objects in the ‘Available

Editor to make them immediately available. This is only for old parks. Any new sandbox parks will have them automatically, and when creating a new custom scenario you can choose when they will become available just as you would with any normal RCT3 scenery item. When positioning an item, there is only one blue ghost square on the ground. Makes it tougher to place them, but see the previous section for tips on getting around this. The walls aren’t true ‘wall’ objects in the sense that they don’t automatically flip around as you move them close to the edges of the ground grid squares. Since you can’t see all the blue ghost squares on the ground, that behaviour became confusing. Just use the regular ‘Z’ key to rotate them to the correct orientation, then place in position. There are some weird small dark or light triangles or blobs on the objects. This may be caused by smoothing errors introduced by the format of the mesh file. Experimentation continues. Roller coasters may disappear when they travel through the translucent tubes. With some coasters, only the trailing cars vanish. For other types, all cars disappear. Only the peeps and the coaster wheels remain, so it looks like they are floating along the track. It looks fine when you’re riding a coaster, it’s only from the outside that the glitch appears. This could be an obscure rendering optimization built into the game, or it could be due to the drivers used for specific video cards, hard to say. The curved roof and roof cap pieces are still a little polygon-heavy. When you’re building, be sure to test the park with peeps in it every once in a while to make sure it hasn’t slowed down unacceptably. All icons in the ElectroSet group have white backgrounds, not alternating white and grey. Mortars placed in Electro Post 02, or in the top sphere of Electro Post 01, end up a little too high. As a result, the horizontal ‘electrical discharge’ effect is not quite in the right place. Making Your Own Custom Scenery If you would like to try your hand at making custom scenery, be sure to visit the Atari RCT3 Custom Scenery forum and look for JonWil’s threads. They contain all the information you need to get started. Hopefully as the community builds up more experience, some tutorials will be written to help guide folks through the process. Redistribution Please feel free to pass along the Setup file of the custom building set, or to host it on your web site, so long as it is not done for profit. Please include the ReadMe file so that other players will know how to use the set. You may wish to link back to this page so people can look over the set before downloading it. Contacts If you have any problems or suggestions, please send me a PM at the Atari RCT3 forums. My user name is ‘Klinn’. Or send an email to

I just got this game and am having horrid frame speed on my high-end PC. I've heard that the patches fix this issue.Thing is, I have no idea how to patch RCT3 Platnium. This is the edition which includes RCT3 original, Soaked, and Wild on one CD.On www.atari.com/rollercoastertycoon , they only have this listed under their updates section:"UPDATESClick the game below that you want to update:RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 (Scholastic) RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Gold RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Soaked! RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Wild!" So yeah how can I patch platinum?? | MPH Code: 154686451124 || MPH Name: edward to |PVCSnathan 16 years ago#2There is no RCT3 Platinum patch. There is, however a dual core patch you can try. (Topic Creator)16 years ago#3That link you gave me doesn't seem to work.Also, I am running quad core, not dual core. Would the dual core fix you gave me affect me positively or negatively, or not at all?What I think I am looking for is maybe a proper sequence in which to install each patch... for instance maybe I should install the Gold patch, and then install the Wild patch seperately after. Anyone know for sure how
