There are so many people got the error, however i would like to make a thread about how to install proper. maybe sticky this thread will be useful.


Step 1. Where I download to?.

Just download to desktop and move to *Drive Letter*:\Program Files\Atari\RollerCoaster TycoonŽ 3\Style\Themed

or direct to this 'Themed' folder.

Step 2. How to extract the ZIP or RAR file.

Extracting the ZIP archive is possible in Windows XP, by Open this Zip file by double click to open, then click 'Extract all files' the left side menu of explorer.

With WinZip installed, it is also possible to extract the contents of a ZIP archive file.
To begin, right mouse button click on the ZIP file and extract here.

With WinRAR installed, it is possible to extract the RAR/ZIP archive.
To begin, right mouse button click on the RAR file and extract here.

With WinAce installed, You can extract the many type inc ZIP archive.
To begin, right mouse button click on this archive and 'Extract to...'

If you dont have WinZip or WinRAR
WinZip (http://www.winzip.com/)
WinRAR (http://www.rarlab.com/)

Other programs you can use with ZIP or other compession file.
www.powerarchiver.com - free
www.picozip.com
www.winace.com

If this custom scenery pack is EXE file, then you dont have to worry to extract.

Step 3. How to stop the SID error or crash my game?.

IMPORTANT CHECK THE FOLDER
If this folders aren't right in structured, then you will get the error.

Open this folder you have extracted/installed and you should find a folder (or sometime there might have more than one folder like DRP's lightz pack) and two files with the style ovl extension.

All the custom scenery folder should be look like this: (my custom slide support)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/iceatcs/Snap2.gif

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/iceatcs/Snap3.gif

If error, then move to the right structure.

Once it is working, You may can delete the ZIP RAR or EXE of custom scenery or save it as backup.

Good luck and enjoy! ;) :up:

I use "WinAce" to extract these files. Works great!

ok since I dont have winace installed. Tell me how to extact then I will add it on this thread.

I'm not sure about Winace, but it's probably the same as Winzip. I use Powerarchiver & it works the same. It can be downloaded at the link below & it's a free program.

www.powerarchiver.com

added all the links to any archiver programs.

Yeah it might be the same way as usually but too risk to add unless comfirm.

I think it's a safe program, hasn't bothered my computer. It works like other extracting programs may do, and it does let me extract rar. files. So here's the link: http://www.winace.com/

I have a ton of custom scenery installed that works on the game and it's been taking only to 30 seconds to install each of them with this!

winRAR is supposed to be most powerful at compressing.

Imaginator

Winace is a free download. Does winRAR cost to use?

Phil
01-09-2006, 07:46 PM
winRAR is free. It says your 40 day trial is over, but you can close the window saying that and use it freely :haha:

WinAce say my 30 evluation period is exceeded and I can keep on using it without buying the whole version (almost 3 months). Wait, I don't have the whole version!?!? :confused:

Nah i mean it is risk to add on the tutorial if i have no confirm, not label it as danger program.

However, regard to this part, Is it the same way, Right click and extract here? for Winace

Imaginator
01-12-2006, 10:02 PM
Yes, I can extract files with it by right clicking and click on "Extract to..." or the icon above. I am having trouble with screenshots because it's too big and "Microsoft Word" won't resize it.
There is no Term of Service when I install it. Ad-Aware SE Personal I have on my PC would tell if it's a dangerous or unreliable program.

01-12-2006, 10:12 PM

i'm bleedly know what is winace but i am not using it.

Still confused. I downloaded Iceatcs files and also Shyguy's Mainstreet packs 1, 2, 3, as well as Expo 3000. I keep getting errors though and the game is crashing. Your instructions Iceatcs aren't very clear to me. Could you possibly explain them again or PM me? Thanks!

I don't understand... I have mine setup like it should be, and I still get the no svd for sid error on many things. The main one is that Disfan's Tables and Blinds. I use 7zip.

Edit: Never mind. I got it to work, all I had to do was drag all the stuff out of the folder marked Disfan's Tables and Blinds.

Bleh. You people who get that error message should think yourself lucky. At least you know where to find the scenery once you enter rct3!! I've just downloaded some scenery (the 'lightz' everyone is raving about) but I can't use it because I don't know where to find it! It's driving me insane!!! Someone, please help!

I also have everything as said in your tutorial.. The weird thing is it works the first time I open up a new park and use it, but then once I save the park and try to open it up again everytime i try to click on the scenery button the game closes and a window pops up saying RCT3 has dificulties running and had to close. Any ideas or suggestions?? by the way the package im using/trying to use is Jcat's steelworx.

you need to just put the file you get for the CS and put it in the file do NOT do any thnig else unless its ziped than unzip it but thats all.

10-14-2006, 04:40 PM
Ok I have been messing with this for about 4 days now and I can not figure out what Im doing wrong..As I stated in a previous post the scenery works fine when I first use it, but then if I save the park and open it up again and try to use any scenery the game closes.. I follow all of the steps given to install the custom scenery.. this is an example of what I did to instal J-cats Steel Worx
- I downloaded the files at trackworx.com (this is the manuel install)
- the winzip window opens containing the file
- I extraxted the file to my desktop.
- Then I dragged that file to c:\Program files\Atari\RollerCoaster Tycoon 3\style\themed

So can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong so I can save my work and then be able to work on it at a later time without my game closing.

10-14-2006, 04:51 PM
Make sure there isn't a read me file along with the scenery folder. Once you extract the folder, open it up and make sure there isn't, if there is, just drag the scenery folder, not folder that contains the scenery and the readme. If that makes any sense...

10-30-2006, 02:44 PM
I take it you're looking in your "My Documents" folder.

You have to look in your "Program Files" folder for "Atari" -- in there should be a folder called "Style."

I know how to install them scenery.

I have Rct3, Soaked and Wild! (europe versions!)
only got errors with a few scenery packs, like the vermont theme, vodhin light pack 2 (updated version), Rockwork and Animated Striplights!
Other scenery will install like the vodhin light pack 2 (old version).

Is there anything I can do about this, as all these scenery packs are working in a Gold version of Rct3 (some people told me)

Thanks for helping:(

Carefully follow the instruction in regards to the folder structure. Probably your unzip program has added an additional directory level.

If you are getting the no svd for sid error, there is a video tutorial for installing custom scenery, it's most likely to be the person installing it wrong.

The tutorial is in my signature (Jonny's tutorials)
It's by Rctmaniac

can you show me where you downloaded it? and i'll try it out to see if its the files or if your instaling it wrong.

and it looks as if you instaled it right but i would suggest to get the "UPDATE" and i don't know where that would be

edit is the steelworx made by Jcat or someone in that type of name?

Rifro...did you change anything like renaming files or folders?

The reason I ask is that on checking this set on my computer, the folder name under Style/Themed is "VodinsCafeKit", and is NOT "Cafe Tables" as shown on your screenshot.

Upon double clicking that I have the two OVL files (style.com and style.unique) plus FIVE folders (Accoutriments, Buffet, Iron Works, Shared, and Table Sets)...you show only "Table Sets", however, inside your "Table Sets" you have all the same files that I have in FIVE folders.

I'm wondering if either you have renamed and/or combined files - if so, you can not do that...these have SPECFIC paths the game follows to locate the file...change it and they don't work. If you haven't renamed or changed anything, then I would remove this folder and download a new one from Vodin's site because I think that's where your problem is. I could be wrong (wouldn't be the first time), but what you have installed on your computer doesn't look right.

Rifro...did you change anything like renaming files or folders?

Ah yeah he/she must have change it, cos he/she have the same problem with my custom slide support. I thought he/she might have downloaded from bad site.

don't rename any file or folder, just move/extract it only.

Nice Tut, but there is already 3,4 of these in the Tutorial Thread of the Custom Scenery Section.

Observant of you...although you missed the fact that this was written back in January...of 2006. And you missed the fact that this IS one of the 3 or 4 already in the Tutorial Thread - the link on that Tutorial thread takes you right to THIS thread. :p

Also, please don't quote images, the Mods here will get after you if they see it.

Coastergamer - read this:

The thing to remember is that the game engine is designed so it follows a specific path to access each scenery file. If that path is altered - by placing the file in the wrong spot or extra files being created - the game is unable to access the file.

The most common error is where an extra folder holding the CS files is created. The way to check for this is to navigate to where Scenery folders are stored. Most people will know how to access this, but I'll lay out the steps for those who may not be sure:

If you are running XP, you probably have an icon on your desktop called "MyComputer", double-click that icon to open.

Most people have the game installed on it's default position, so find where it lists your hard drives and find "(C: )", double-click on that entry to open.

Now you need to find a folder named "Program Files", again double-click to open.

Among the individual folders should be one labeled "Atari", go ahead and double-click to open.

Inside you'll find the folder for "RollerCoaster Tycoon 3", open that.

Inside are lot's of files and folders required in the game, scroll down and find the one labeled "Style", double-click to open it.

Customs Scenery goes in the folder entitled "Themed", yep, go ahead and open that one too.

Here you will see all the different scenery folders - in-game and custom. This is where you place your custom scenery folders. Find the folder for the set you are having problems with and open it.

This is the important part, as soon as you open that folder you will see one or more files or folders that are the actual individual object files PLUS there should be two OVL files...one named Style.common and the other Style.unique.

Those two OVL files MUST be there for your CS to function properly. That's where the path the game follows to access them says they must be. If they aren't, then usually an extra folder has been created during the zip process.

If the two OVL files are missing, is there instead just a folder with the name of the scenery set on it present?

I thought so. Go ahead and open that folder. Chances are when you open it you'll find those two missing OVL files plus the actual sscenery files/folders.

What's this mean? Well, the path the game is looking for when you see those two OVL files is C:\Program Files\Atari\RollerCoaster Tycoon 3\Style\Themed\Set (you can see the path up at the top of your screen).

The path if there's an extra folder will show C:\Program Files\Atari\RollerCoaster Tycoon 3\Style\Themed\Set\Set. Note how that folder at the end appears twice? We need to get rid of that extra layer. It's simple to do...

Find the folder that holds the two OVL files (along with the actual object files/folders that were there with them.) and drag that entire folder to your desktop.

Now in Style\Themed you should have a folder with the name of the set that is empty. Delete that extra folder.

Now you can drag the correct folder (the one with the two OVL files) from your desktop back into Style\Themed. That should make the path correct for the game to access the objects and the set should now work.

How does an extra layer get formed by mistake? Well, there's several ways but one way to make sure it doesn't occur is to always unzip new CS set's to your desktop FIRST, and then find the correct folder (with the two OVL files) and drag it to your Style\Themed folder yourself. If the CS set comes with an .exe file, I always change the destination to have it go to my desktop as well.



Hope this helps.

i am new and i was wondering where the style/themed folder is...I CANT FIND IT


first go to start and go to ( my computer ) then click on the local disk that the game was installed on. then go to program files, and once you are in there click on Atari. then click on RollerCoaster Tycoon 3. after that go to style and click on themed. then copy and paist what you want in the game after you extract the files.
if you cant find them in the game try the sand box mode. hope I helped :D.

And why are they all outside of their folders? :weird:

Sorry, but they MUST have folders in order to work, and the folders wouldn't just disappear when you installed them. What about the folders of in-game scenery? Are they there?

If you took stuff out of the folders when installing them, then I don't see anything you can do other than to un-install the game, delete the loose custom scenery files that left in Style\Themed, and then start all over again but doing it correctly after you read and follow the instructions show in several of the stickied tutorials here.

Just download your scenery, extract it, and move it to C:\Program Files\Atari\RollerCoaster Tycoon 3\Style\Themed

and if you have a different place where u installed Rct3, listen to him:

first go to start and go to ( my computer ) then click on the local disk that the game was installed on. then go to program files, and once you are in there click on Atari. then click on RollerCoaster Tycoon 3. after that go to style and click on themed. then copy and paist what you want in the game after you extract the files.

I have a question: I save the file to my user account, then extract all the files to the Themed folder, that will still work right?

It will work, you can save it anywhere at all and extract it to Themed and it will still work.

What set have you downloaded? It should appear in the walls, objects, benches, or trees categories, for example, if it is Vodhin, check under V for Vodhin.

If error, then move to the right structure.



I'm sorry, but I don't quite know what you mean by this... are you just supposed to move around folders until it works? Because every single custom scenery download I have tried gives me the SID error.

About my above comment...

I did get one scenery pack to work, but it didn't have the SID error in it. The problems still stand for the other three I tried though, so any clarification on what you meant would be well appreciated. :D

Where are you looking?

If you are looking in MyDoucuments, that's the wrong place. Instead click on MyComputer, the look for the "C" drive (if you installed it in the default place), look for ProgramFiles, then Find Atari. Inside of Atari will be a folder for RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, open that and scroll down to find Style. Themed is inside of it.

Do you use a pc or a Mac? If a pc do you have XP or Vista? If Vista are you using the Admin account?

When you installed RCT3 on that computer, did you install it in the default place (drive C:) - or did you install it on another drive?

I don't really see how this helps with the sid error. I'm having a lot of trouble with it, and after re-re-reading, I still don't understand.
