[REL] Animatronics as Ride Events

[DasMatze]

Hi!

Just a small teaser of what you will get, when my actual park is done:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBlVdb0poe4

Animatronics converted to Ride Events.

Due to copyright problems you will have to copy the files of wild you will need in the setfolder.

DasMatze

[rctmaniac]

WOW!!! How?

[Fisherman]

OH MY!!!!! How? How did you do it!? So are you going to make all of them??? Like the vampire and stuff too? GREAT job!!! I loved what you did with the jungle trees...I can't wait for this!!!

-Derek

[chrisattack16]

that video was awesome! cant wait to see what this turns out to be

[RCT3LovaDude117]

Wow! That was insane! Is it possible for requests for this?

[DasMatze]

Is it possible for requests for this?
Its almost done. There are all animatronics which makes sense to use as a ride event. The default ride events are also included - without collision of course. The big demon is not included - the particles makes problems. Ans now I have to search the ovl for the vampire and the low res textures of the dinosaurs. And I have to make Icons. Then its done.

DasMatze

[andrewhurley13]

Dasmatz , can you tell us how its done ? I would LOVE to do something like this. :)

[LightGrenades]

OMG the Jerrasic Park ride at Universal Studios Hollywood! Dude, wow, just.....

DUDE!

[chrisattack16]

darn, not the big demon! that one's my favorite. oh well. dasmatze you're amazing!

[RCT3LovaDude117]

Well can you make some Ride Event Mixmasters?

That would be BEAST!

[Grindalyx]

WOW, once again, you're awesome, dude.

[UberBunny]

I LOVEEEEEEEEE YOOUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(FInnnaaaaalllllllYYYYYYYY!!!)

[Fisherman]

Did you include the skeleton that pops out of the grave?!?!?!?! That one is a must-have!!! Oh pleeeeeeeeeeeeze???? Can you add that one too if you didn't yet??

-Derek

[UberBunny]

Well, i can see Fisherman and I are excited about this set.

[JoeIOW]

i dont know what to say; where did you come from? mars? just this year you've joinded and i think by far your one of the best CS creators ever...


joe.

[Buckface921]

Yet another breakthrough. Holy cow.

[DasMatze]

Did you include the skeleton that pops out of the grave?!?!?!?!
Yeah! :)

@The others: Thanx!!!111 :haha: :haha:

[ryguy222]

SWEET! I can't wait!

[UberBunny]

Ha! Check it!
<<<<<<

[Fisherman]

Yeah! :)

@The others: Thanx!!!111 :haha: :haha:

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you, Das Matze!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:up: :up: :up: :up: :up:

-Derek

[Jonnyears]

I just can't believe this!! I am so pleased that you are doing sets
like this, you are making a huge difference to the game and you
definately deserve a huge amount of praise for your hard work.

I thank you!!

[LightGrenades]

i dont know what to say; where did you come from? mars? just this year you've joinded and i think by far your one of the best CS creators ever...


joe.

Date of being a member has nothing to do with anything. Belgabor has been here since July (+/- a month) and has practically made the importer from Jonwil's one.

[Jonnyears]

Date of being a member has nothing to do with anything. Belgabor has been here since July (+/- a month) and has practically made the importer from Jonwil's one.

agreed,

Speaking of Belgabor,
I haven't heard from him for a while, does anybody know what's happened to him?

[xss277x]

Wow! I've always wanted the dino as an animatronic :D

I think this is a great idea, its too bad you can't do the demon. Great idea though!

P.S. Jonnyears...I think I'm missing something. Why are you putting every L and T in bold? ;)

[LightGrenades]

agreed,

Speaking of Belgabor,
I haven't heard from him for a while, does anybody know what's happened to him?

I wondered that also. It says that he hasn't been on since March 10th.:down:

[Jonnyears]

P.S. Jonnyears...I think I'm missing something. Why are you putting every L and T in bold? ;)

There is a good reason for that but I am hoping that you can work it out for yourself!!

[andrewhurley13]

There is a good reason for that but I am hoping that you can work it out for yourself!!

I beLieve I know ThaT reason Johnny. I wonder if TheFonz knows it too? :haha:

[ThingMaker]

DasMatze - this is awesome - looking forward to this breakthrough and the fact that the originals do not have collision detection is a major plus (your instant forest proves this). :up:

[Cedar Point]

Awesome!

[DasMatze]

Thanks to all for the comments!

darn, not the big demon! that one's my favorite.
Like the vampire and stuff too?
Why the Demon cant be used and why fisherman should also click (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJMcdHrUzRQ) ;)

Ha! Check it!
<<<<<<
ROFL!!!11

[Sliverfas]

Excellent job man! The coffins are excellent :D Keep up the oustanding work with this 5 star set :D

[Fisherman]

THANKS, MAN!!!! It looks perfect! How about a teaser of the skeleton popping out of the grave? HA HA HA!!!

-Derek

[Myotis]

Supergeilo DasMatze! Jetzt muss man nur noch rausfinden, wie man Sound als Fahrtereignis auslöst... :up:

Und jetzt nochmal für unsere Englischsprachigen Freunde:

Awesome DasMatze! Now it has to be figured out how to trigger audio to the events...

[-Nuclear Fish-]

So how exactly have you done this? Is this done using the current version of the importer? Please explain. :D

It looks awesome so far, this will come in VERY useful. I have a small request, but you may have already done it - can you make the gargoyle animatronic a ride event too? I've used them quite a bit in my dark ride and I've had to time it as the train passes, but it would be far easier if they were ride events.

[errt]

As far a I know, he took the original OVL-files and re-imported them.

[The_Cook]

I take it that you're just setting the Ride Event bit in the flags rather than recreating the entire ovl?

I think the problem with the demon is that ride events use a default set of bone positions when they are in their "holding" phase. It's been so long since I looked that I can't remember if it's BonePosition1 or BonePosition2. On the demon that position is set up differently from the position at the end of the animation, theoretically you could substitute the BonePositions at the end of the animation sequence into the default BonePosition so that it holds in the end position. If you're already parsing the ovl structure to set the Ride Event bit, then parsing for the matricies and performing a substitution shouldn't be too hard.

[Jonnyears]

Errt- yes, I think you are right. I have just had a look at the files
and it looks quite easy actually! I may have a go later on and see if
it's as easy as I thought.

[Loqo]

Looks cool!

[flobenj12]

Looks Great Have you made other like this????

[riddl]

Yes, he said in one of his post´s..... he made all Animated things from the game.

This is amazing very usefull!

/// Hey, ich finde es sehr gut. Sehr Praktisch :up:

[Janitor 06]

Great set and idea, DasMatze!
Could you include the Demon without collision detection too, eventhough it's not a ride event?

[DasMatze]

Here another video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Z4Uk_zMT3A

You all know how easy it is. So I think somebody will release it before me. Therefore you havent to wait too long.

^^that is awesome!

Are you going to do the western secenery, like the sherif, the bandits and the indians?

[LightGrenades]

DasMatze

Well I certainly will wait for you to release this set. You were the one who took the time to figure it out, and have decided to share this with the community. So, even if there are 5 different sets like this, yours is the only one I will download.

[AvA]

Note that it's not figuring out, but it's "thinking at the right moment". He was the first to think of it. Jonwil was the inventor ;)

Anyway, nicely done Dasmatze! (man i love your lala-song (http://dasmatze.da.funpic.de/) :noob:)

[chrisattack16]

me too!

[time0fyourlif3]

WOW! I've been waiting for someone to do this.......I LOVE IT :)

[Old-Spice]

THIS would have to be the best set in my eyes....

[Vodhin]

Excellent- I love this idea. My only concern is that you should only work with the vanilla RCT3 animatronics, as the others that came with expansion packs might raise some eyebrows with the bosses upstairs.

[Jonnyears]

Here another video:

DasMatze

I will certainly be annoyed if somebody else released a similar set,
you have worked hard on this one so it wouldn't be right for somebody
else to release a set.

Good luck, I loved the video!!

[DasMatze]

Excellent- I love this idea. My only concern is that you should only work with the vanilla RCT3 animatronics, as the others that came with expansion packs might raise some eyebrows with the bosses upstairs.
There arent any animatronics from soaked and you have to copy the needed files of wild. ;)

DasMatze

[Haydendem]

There arent any animatronics from soaked and you have to copy the needed files of wild. ;)

DasMatze

There are a few, like the sea serpent with the atlantis scenery.

[DasMatze]

There are a few, like the sea serpent with the atlantis scenery.
I mean there arent any in my set. The sea serpent for example should be better used as animatronic.

DasMatze

[JayAC]

Wow! What a great idea :up:

Can't wait for the release :D

[RCT3LovaDude117]

Well can you make a Mixmaster Ride Event?

[DasMatze]

Not possible.

[Fisherman]

yeah...the western stuff would be helpful too...like the sheriff and bandits and such. Thank you so much, Das Matze!!! I can't wait for the download!!!

I hate to ask...because I know what it is like when people ask ;) ...but do you have an estimate on a release date?

I may need to redo the Frankensteins in my Tower or Terror now!!! AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

-Derek

[RCT3LovaDude117]

Not possible.



Awww:cry: ...

[DasMatze]

yeah...the western stuff would be helpful too...like the sheriff and bandits and such.
Texture problems here. Maybe later.

do you have an estimate on a release date?
When my park is done - It just started.

[No Guy]

This is much needed... thanx for making this set!

[Arctic Mouse]

Wow that was really cool!

[bdawg6]

dang it, you need wild for this set huh?

[ryguy222]

Holy crap this is amazing, do you plan on making any custom ride events?

[-Nuclear Fish-]

^ You can't do that yet unless you're The Cook. ;)

[Coaster Freak]

I just found out about this! I know im a dummy. But this is awesome! I think I just might throw some new things into my ride Horror Comes Home!



And you said you had to do something with wild? What if I have wild?

[The_Cook]

Redistributing the Frontier files is probably a bad idea since they are copyright material.

Writing a small application to copy the ovl's, set the Ride Event bit, etc... would be a better solution because it patches the files already on peoples machines.

Think it through before you get yourself into trouble and don't let the pestering kids force you into releasing something before you're sure that it's right to do so.

[Jonnyears]

^ You can't do that yet unless you're The Cook. ;)

I need one of those then!

indeed, it's a shame about that but I'm sure you can avoid that.
Good luck with it, there's no rush!

[Rct3Mania]

Absolutely one of the best animating pack ever made.

i thought he said he was going to make the thing that makes them ride events but we would have to copy the actually animatronics over our selvs?

joe????

[xss277x]

Redistributing the Frontier files is probably a bad idea since they are copyright material.

But he's not really redistibuting them...well, he is distributing modified versions that still need the orginal.

[Fisherman]

Good points everyone. I see no problem as long as he isn't making the Soaked and Wild objects availabe for download. I mean as long as he's just moving stuff around that we must already have or it won't work right...then that kind of code manipulation really is no different than any other custom scenery, is it? That was kinda confusing...sorry... :noob:

-Derek

[chrisattack16]

what difference does it make if they are from the expansion packs? they are still copyrighted material.

[Fisherman]

yeah but you don't need the expansions to use custom scenery...and if he's using objects from the expansions...then you'd be getting stuff from the expansions without paying for them...

-Derek

[RCT-Spanky]

what difference does it make if they are from the expansion packs? they are still copyrighted material.

Second: You need the expansions to use the objects

Third: This objects are made for the same game as the originals.

First: DasMatze gives full credit to Frontier, he never said in one word, that he made the objects, he just modifiy them for a another function in the game.

And at last: Maybe you have noticed that I have added some hedges with Frontiers textures, The_Cook creates some expansions with Frontiers textures etc.. It's up to Frontier to make the expansions by themself. But currently the show no interest to update anything for RCT3.

[DasMatze]

The Set is almost done (but it wont be released yet). Riddl will test it. You have to copy all unedited files self. Here you can see the Installation-Instruction:
http://dasmatze.da.funpic.de/Installation.htm

It looks like too much but it is a work of 2-3 minutes. Believe me.

DasMatze

[Janitor 06]

Can you also just select all of those that have to be in the same file and paste them in that file?
That would make it faster.

[Fisherman]

Oooooo!!! I can't wait!!! Great job, Das Matze!!!

-Derek

[Jonnyears]

I expect that this will be worse than NF's particle effects, you will get 50+ people that cant install it!

[RCT3LovaDude117]

Who cares? People these days are lazy. Thats exactly why they cant install. Otherwise, I cant wait for relese! Can't you just release it NOW?

[UberBunny]

Who cares? People these days are lazy. Thats exactly why they cant install. Otherwise, I cant wait for relese! Can't you just release it NOW?
No, they arn't lazy. They just don't know how.

[Coaster Freak]

Who cares? People these days are lazy. Thats exactly why they cant install. Otherwise, I cant wait for relese! Can't you just release it NOW?
Yeah. Why do you say that. At first I did not know how and after like a month I learned how. And guess who told me how? YOU GUYS.

[xss277x]

I expect that this will be worse than NF's particle effects, you will get 50+ people that cant install it!

My exact thought when I saw the installation directions. :p

Who cares? People these days are lazy. Thats exactly why they cant install.[/COLOR]

Not really. Even people that take the time to install it, could still make a mistake. I'm sure you didn't know exactly what to do the first few times you had installed CS.

[Jonnyears]

My exact thought when I saw the installation directions. :p



Not really. Even people that take the time to install it, could still make a mistake. I'm sure you didn't know exactly what to do the first few times you had installed CS.

indeed, I installed my first CS set to the structures folder!

[DasMatze]

I dont see the problem. There is an installation guide. Everyone who can read and who can copy and paste files can manage this easy work. If you want it, you have to work a bit for it. Is that too much to ask for?

DasMatze

[metromover]

^ That was certainly not meant as an insult to your work, Matze. It´s just that people have such a fast-food mentality that they don´t understand things that differ from the way they are used to. And people don´t read!

When the particle effects were released with a HUGE reminder that you have to install them differently, 80% of the people just ignored it and spammed the boards that the set doesn´t work for them.

So we can expect that this will happen in a much bigger way with your excellent new set.

Anyway, your work is just fantastic and is a joy to play with! I hardly use any of the in-game stuff anymore. You people have really really made the game so much more fun to play with.

Now if only the basic game was better and more fun...

[Fisherman]

So, DasMatze...how's your park coming along? (you know...the one that you have to finish before we get this wonderful event set?) ;)

-Derek

[Jonnyears]

DasMatze

oh, no no no!! Most people will understand how to install it but some people just can't be bothered to read the instructions, your instructions are very clear!

Keep up the good work, the comments weren't about your instructions atall!

[DasMatze]

So, DasMatze...how's your park coming along? (you know...the one that you have to finish before we get this wonderful event set?)

My park is on hold - I havent any ideas to time. So the set will be released earlier. But as I said somebody is testing it and he have some problems with the shark attack. I dont know whats the problem.

DasMatze

[Fisherman]

oooo...that is good news for those of us who are anxious to try this set out! I can't wait! COOOL!!

-Derek

[Zarroc]

This will be the set I wait for since 3 years!
This is awesome!

[UberBunny]

My park is on hold - I havent any ideas to time. So the set will be released earlier. But as I said somebody is testing it and he have some problems with the shark attack. I dont know whats the problem.

DasMatze
Hold on. I'm gonna do a lil dance. -dances- YAY! Can't waiiittttt!!!!

[ThingMaker]

So looking forward to this. Hope that shark starts biting! :haha::up:

[Cyber_Net_Inc]

I don't know if all ready said but can you make the fire from atari do this? Like when you go past it, it lights up.

Great Job by the way!

[JoeIOW]

i think he said that he cant do particle effects; which fire is.

[ryguy222]

When he did the big Demon the particle effects worked fine, its just the motion of the demon that was obscured. So maybe they do work maybe they don't

[themeparklover]

This looks so awesome! Great job on it!

[RCT3LovaDude117]

No, they arn't lazy. They just don't know how.

Ahhh...good point:p .


Cant wait for release!

Edit: Where is the shark? You know, the one that hangs and starts coming alive:dark: . No really?

[DasMatze]

I don't know if all ready said but can you make the fire from atari do this?
The particle effect runs durable.

DasMatze

[Fisherman]

oh when...oh when? I'm waiting patiently...NOT! AAAHHHHH!!!!!!


-Derek!!!!

[RCT3LovaDude117]

I need this set!

[No Guy]

^We all do...

[RCT3LovaDude117]

^Yes.


DasMatze - Are you recreating Jaws the Movie? Because in the Progress of the actual Movie, the crew had problems with the Shark. I find the set will take a while as the Movie did-beacause of the Shark.

[Janitor 06]

RCT3LovaDude- He's not including the shark that's hanging on the wood things. That's because it's included in Soaked!. If DasMatze adds a model of Soaked to the Generic set, you don't have to buy Soaked! to have the shark, and that's not aloud. Am I right?

[DasMatze]

Not exactly. I didnt import it because it make no sense. The hanging shark moves a bit thats all. Would you ever use it as a ride event? I dont think so.

DasMatze

[Janitor 06]

If you look at it a while, it goes up and snaps his jaws- try it! If you'd time the bite good, it bites just as the car passes!

[RCT3LovaDude117]

Yeah, try it please!

[StarRngr4.0]

actualy, the shark attack allready IS a ride event, so no need to import it as such.

[Jonnyears]

actualy, the shark attack allready IS a ride event, so no need to import it as such.

I think they mean the shark that is hanging, it wobbles around but occassionally it bites, that WOULD be useful as a ride event

[andrewhurley13]

Ears! You would'nt know! :)

DM - The set is looking great. Do you have any plans to keep each animatronics in a seperate set according to their expansions?

[TECHNOFIRESHOW1]

i just today looked at this for the first time due to me being so couped up with my rides, comps, shops, and park but this is really amaizing cant wait for the release will be really useful in the future

[RCT3LovaDude117]

Hopefully Dasmatze will release it on Monday. It seems reasonable!

[Grindalyx]

I hope he does as well, but I think he said he's still waiting on his testers to get back to him on how well the set works. Once he gets the green light from them, he'll probably release it same-day...I hope!

[LightGrenades]

I need this set!

No, you don't need it, you want it.

[RCT3LovaDude117]

Another good point!


Waits for release...Friday would be a good release date. For most people have school then!

[Fisherman]

today would be nice too. :p

just kidding...it will be well worth the wait...

-Derek

[RCT3LovaDude117]

Yes, it shall be worth some wait. I'll be mucking around with RCT3's files and such for switching around Animatronics and Ride Events and find a result maybe for the time being.

-RLD117

[CheeseSoup]

Could you still include the demon, even though it doesn't work so well?
BTW,

I am so excited about this set! Good Job!

[RCT3LovaDude117]

^Proably not.


Hey DasMatze, hows the progress?

[ThingMaker]

^Proably not.


Hey DasMatze, hows the progress?

Read the Instant Wood thread from DasMatze, and you'll get an idea of the status for this pack.

[RCT3LovaDude117]

I think I did. I'll check again...thanks.

[osudenny]

I had the pleasure and honor to test this set and all I can sayis *** it is awesome!!!*** Just simply awesome!! It will bring a whole new meaning for ride attractions. This also might save on the lag time as well. Everything is not moving til prompted. So there would be less movement in the picture. DasMatze you are awesome!! Thank you so much!! It was an honor on my part and it was a pleasure to see everything work just like it was meant to be this way!!!

[RCT3LovaDude117]

Yes, this will be another great set by DasMatze!

[Plokoon111]

OH GOD! THIS ROCKS!!!!!!! Now I can finally make the amitronics line up with the rides.

[RCT3LovaDude117]

Yeah but this will be a LONG, LONG, LONG release wait.

[DLO5]

^Whch means it will be a LONG, LONG, LONG time until gadget's SM set will come out.


I love this set! :up:

[Cedar Point]

Way to go, DM! This is truly fantastic!

[RCT3LovaDude117]

Yes it is!

[~LoveTulie]

Wow. Now I will actually use these things!

[kh2kid]

will really work in anwbodys haunted houses

keep up the great work

[Rct3NuT]

This is SUPER AWESOME I'ts about cool as Nuclear Fish Particle Effects! I Love it so much!

Edit:MY 100th Post! :hat:

[DasMatze]

There are so much errors now and I think there will be a huge amount of people which will have trouble with the installation. Im confused about some errors too. So I think I wont release it or I will do everything again. But first I'm waiting for the answer of StrRngr4.0. He want try to create a batch file for the installation.

DasMatze

PS: Im always talk about the animatronics and Instant Wood together. I shouldnt start a second thread for it.

[Fisherman]

I've been testing both sets. Please don't quit, DasMatze. I think the errors we've found can be overcome.

-Derek

[RCT3LovaDude117]

Yes DONT quit!

Edit: I can Do a Batch File too...

[DasMatze]

I can Do a Batch File too...
Everone who can do this (and want to do that) is invited. PM me your Email and I will send you what I've got.

DasMatze

[StarRngr4.0]

Actually to my mind the only real question about this batchfile is how to get the job done with the fewest number of lines.

[RCT3LovaDude117]

Everone who can do this (and want to do that) is invited. PM me your Email and I will send you what I've got.

DasMatze



I sent you the PM.

[Belgabor]

I think that the strange errors you get are due to the fact that ovl names (or rather SVD names, which in CS/Importer created style ovls are the same) need to be unique. In fact I wonder that this works at all as as far as I remember Frontiers SVD names do not necessarily match the OVL name :p

[spencer1899]

no! don't make a .bat file make a .exe file

[Cpt. Rick]

no! don't make a .bat file make a .exe file

You now that the "bat" in *.bat stands for batch, the windows shell. An *.exe is an binary program. That's why you need to compile an *.exe and an *.bat is a list of commands, which are interpreted by the shell.

What I don't under stand the .exe part

[DasMatze]

Ok, I will wait til somebody was so nice to help me with a batch file or setup.

I dont want to send more email so here is the test version:
http://creativityzone.cr.funpic.de/dload.php?action=file&file_id=31

"Dont use this objects in your park/scenario/ride.

Just for testing. No Support"

Hard but decent!

DasMatze

[RCT3LovaDude117]

I can do the batch! Wait.


Edit: I cannot copy Shared Textures from Jungle and Prehostoric. I cannot have the same file from both.

[DasMatze]

Is it possible to copy first the whole folder of one of them and then the other 2 files of the same named folder?

DasMatze

[RCT3LovaDude117]

Well I just made a folder for the other.

PS: Almost done!

[DasMatze]

Well I just made a folder for the other.

Do you mean, there is now a folder called "SharedTextures" and one called "SharedTextures2" or something. If yes, it wont work. Ok, they are only for the LOD-Textures (water-reflections) of the dinosaurs and the other animals of Wild so it would work but something would be missing.

DasMatze

[Fisherman]

No...you need to combine the contents of the Jungle and Prehistoric Shared Textures folders into the main Shared Textures folder. I tested that and it seems to work.

-Derek

[RCT3LovaDude117]

I finished the batch file (For DasMatze Only!)

It does not work. I will do it over.

[spencer1899]

I think an Exe would be better

and no I didn't download the .bat file

[RCT3LovaDude117]

Explain how to do it.

[spencer1899]

I don't know

[RCT3LovaDude117]

Okay.

[LightGrenades]

I think an Exe would be better

and no I didn't download the .bat file

Explain how to do it.

I don't know

Then why do you think it would be better? Just because you don't want to install it because you are lazy, doesn't mean someone has to take the time to do it for you.

[RCT3LovaDude117]

Thank you.

Das, is the batch working?

[DasMatze]

Das, is the batch working?
How do you send it? Email? There is no email and no PM. ;)

DasMatze

[Neo222]

Umm Im confused, how do I get the beta download? Do I have to send an email or something?:weird:

nvm I found it ^_^

[RCT3LovaDude117]

Das, Is the beta supposed to wok in the game?

[DasMatze]

Yeah it works.

DasMatze

[RCT3LovaDude117]

I have having trouble getting the set to work. I've tried the process 3 times and its still not working. Can you just use the folder you have and upload it here:

Here (http://www.zshare.net)

this way I can make the batch file.

[wabigbear]

The whole point of making people load the files themselves is to avoid copyright problems with Atari...and you want him to post the whole folder here?

[RCT3LovaDude117]

Good point.

[spencer1899]

When do you think that the final release will be out?

[MINIggy03]

Hey Dasmatze, amazing stuff you have going on(instant jungle, wood, anim)

I wanted to let you know that Giant Mantis, and Giant Mantis 45, aren't working for me. I get this error:

no : svd for : sid

I double checked to make sure the files were copied correctly, and they are.

All the other animatronics are working! This is awesome! Hope you'll do more for the wild west stuff!

[JayAC]

I don't know if it's too late or not, but I think a good thing that you could add to this set is ride-event lights. So when the car goes past, the lights light up. I think it would be very helpful for darkrides.

Don't worry if it's too late.

[DasMatze]

Not possible.

DasMatze

[DasMatze]

The final version:
http://creativityzone.cr.funpic.de/dload.php?action=file&file_id=33

It's important to read the installation-pdf. Otherwise your game will crash.

I will give support ... but only for those people who read the pdf and copied the files. For all the others: Bad luck for you!

Many thanks to all my testers. Especially to Eezee, Wagibear and Fisherman. All the others too that I have forgot. So much people and I am confused.

DasMatze

PS: I assume no liability for contingent damages. (hope this was right)
PPS: If you have the beta, you dont need to download it again.

[Master_Player09]

Yay! it's out!!!! :D

[LightGrenades]

Very nice!:up:

[Haydendem]

I think the readme in that link is from your instant wood set, not this one.

[CheeseSoup]

The .pdf file is for your Instant Wood set...not this CSO
And the link on the first post is also for Instant Wood...

BTW: Thanks for the REL.

[Master_Player09]

Yah I just noticed that too. Please fix it.:)

[CheeseSoup]

I am guessing that we can just use the beta readme until he fixes it...

[DasMatze]

The .pdf file is for your Instant Wood set...not this CSO
And the link on the first post is also for Instant Wood...
Thanks. I didnt noticed that. Both fixed.

DasMatze

[Master_Player09]

Downloading, now.

Edit: It works thanks.

[CheeseSoup]

Thanks DasMatze, this is an amazing set! I used the beta file readme to install. Loading RCT3 now, I hope I installed right !!

EDIT: Everthing worked - AWESOME SET!! INCEDIBLE!!

[RCT3LovaDude117]

Yeah! It's released!


Edit: What makes this diffrent form the Beta?

[DasMatze]

Another pdf.

DasMatze

[RCT3LovaDude117]

Okay. Thanks. Cya at 3!!!!

[Haydendem]

I don't have wild. Will the set still work if I just delete the anamatronics from wild from the folder?

[DasMatze]

No, it wont work. Then you cant start the game anymore.

DasMatze

[Haydendem]

Ok, I guess I'll just have to wait until I can find wild somewhere then.

[TECHNOFIRESHOW1]

i cannot find your dasmatze_animatronics folder in style themed !?

[wabigbear]

i cannot find your dasmatze_animatronics folder in style themed !?

Is the folder in Style\Theme? If not, then it was installed incorrectly. Do a search to find it on your computer and then try installing it again. I highly recommend unzipping the download to your desktop, and then moving the correct folder into Style\Themed.

[RCT3LovaDude117]

I have found some errors with the set.

-Textures screwed up
-The Giant Crab is now spelled Giant Crap (Lol).
-The Gaint Crap crashes the game.

Das, Proably the game crashes because, the file Holds "Giant Crab" Not "Giant Crap". The game finds that The file is diffrent because the name which leads to a Crash.

Go change Giant Crap to "Giant Crab"

Funny, it's spelled correctly on my computer.

The Giant Crab has never crashed while I helped test the set, and what textures are you refering to? There's only one small texture problem that I was aware of and few would even notice it. Did you double-check to make sure you copied and moved everything completely, because not doing so will cause texture errors.

[RCT3LovaDude117]

Okay Thanks.

[wabigbear]

It can be very confusing, I forgot to move a texture file the first time I set everything up, so I know how easy it is to happen. But the set will work and works really well, just takes a lot of patience and double-checking everything.

[RCT3LovaDude117]

Yeah. Giant Crap is still there though. I need to go look at the textures. I can't do the shared textures thing though. So thats the problem.

[wabigbear]

On the shared textures: first copy and move the entire shared textures folder from Style\Themed\Jungle. Then copy just the CONTENTS of Style\Themed\Prehistoric and add them to the shared textures folder you copied from \Jungle...and the end you should have two files from each theme...one common and one unique.

I'm not sure what's up with the Giant Crab. I'm using the original beta and it's titled correctly in it, unless DasMatze altered that file afterwards for some reason...

Edit: I just downloaded the final release and checked the GiantCrab.unique file and the OVL is named correctly...is it the the in-game description that's mis-spelled? I don't think that will make any difference.

[kylr23]

o desmaze:p some one cant read it:p i love the idear of the set and of corse this have to be added:)

[DasMatze]

Oh ... its really Giant Crap. ^^ Ill fix it.

DasMatze.

Edit: Done!

[Myotis]

when I've done it all correctly, there should be 122 files in the folder DasMatze_Animatronics/1, right? can anybody verify that please?

[DasMatze]

I have only 118 files. Do you copy the WaterTowerTextures.common.ovl and WaterTowerTextures.unique.ovl in it? Thats an often made mistake. They should be at Style\Themed\DasMatze_Animatronics\ without the "1". ;)

DasMatze

[Cpt. Rick]

It's is one of the most useful sets I#ve have ever seen! Great Work!
It worked and game runs perfectly, but I am experiencing and intersting prob^^
All other ride events are now twice in the menu (ingame) and some scenery objects too, such as the particle effects.
Dunno if it was my fault, maybe copieng the files but I dont think that I made any mistake.

[kylr23]

can you do the same thing you did on insant wood:) for me

[CheeseSoup]

So just verifying:
If I use the beta readme to install the REL, I will have all the same pieces and stuff, right??

[wabigbear]

The ride events should not appear twice, at least they don't for me, nor do any of the particle effects. Did you perhaps click on multiple items when you went to copy rather than one at a time? Sometimes that can cause copys to be made in that folder.

[RCT3LovaDude117]

Oh ... its really Giant Crap. ^^ Ill fix it.

DasMatze.

Edit: Done!


Does this mean I have to Download it all over again?

Edit: Hello???

[themeparklover]

Does downloading the set make all the scenery that's not set as ride events just become ride events? I mean, will like the crab stay as normal and as a ride event?

[DasMatze]

@RCT3LovaDude117: No, you dont have to. And even if you had to: You can just copy overwrite the old files. The common.ovl's would be still there.

@themeparklover: Of course.

DasMatze

[CheeseSoup]

So just verifying:

My question never really got answered...I dont mean to be rude, but could someone answer it?
(my question is in the quote above, and on a post)

[DasMatze]

Its the same. Just a few hints were added.

DasMatze

[RCT3LovaDude117]

Wow. I love this set! Thanks Das! Now to Instant Wood!

[Grindalyx]

DasMatse, this is one of the greatest and most useful sets I've ever downloaded. Well worth the effort of installation. Took 2 people and 2 monitors one to read the readme and the other to move the files, but I did it right the first time, opened up the folder in-game and no CTD. Excellent job. Absolutely superb!

[RCT3LovaDude117]

For all of you that keep getting "No svd: for sid" this is how you solve it:

Follow the instructions and go try it. If it dosent work for an object,

Go to the folder "DasMatze_Animatronics. Then to the "1" Folder. Find the file the crashed your game in there and it should look like this:

Good Ex. of Mummy:


Mummy.common.ovl
Mummy.unique.ovl
MummyTexture.common.ovl
MummyTexture.Uniqe.ovl

Bad Ex. of Mummy:


Mummy.unique



Hope that helps!

[roberts0n]

if u worked with nuclear fish u could make his partical effects ride events

[kylr23]

yea your frogeting me:p any ways i hope to dl it soon but i can read the read me because its a pfd and i cant install that program that reads it:(

[infiniteblue]

DasMatze has done it again! This is a great idea, and I'm sure that this will be useful in many parks and rides here.

[Coasterman]

Im still setting up everything,checking if i missed a common.ovl and then getting the common.ovl and copying it into the folder.But anyways, its a really cool set!

[Grindalyx]

Dazmatze suggested that I post my rather unique problem with the set here as well:

I got the set to work fine, I got no crashes or error messages, but it slowed my game to a veritable crawl after a few loads. I didn't think it was this set, but when I decided to test it and I removed it, my game instantly began to perform properly again (back to high framerate). Have others mentioned this kind of issue?

I'm really at a loss because everything appears to be in the right place, I followed the Installation PDF, and the set actually worked perfectly in-game (despite the noticeable framerate drop). Does anyone have any suggestions? I have everything in the Animatronics folder saved and the set can easily be placed back into the Style/Themed folder again. Thanks in advance.

[wabigbear]

Actually as part of testing the set I used one long track and placed ALL of the events along it. I didn't experiance any slowdown at all, however I also had nothing else besides a blank bench there. Hopefully if anyone else experiances slaowdowns they'll post. About how many events did you place before it seems to slow down Grindalyx?

[Grindalyx]

I placed 6 coffin bursts in one smallish area (activated 2 on each track piece in a line), an isolated mummy burst animatronic, and (possibly the culprit) 5-7 Frankies activated on one track piece. Perhaps setting too many events to activate on one track piece caused it?

[The_Cook]

if u worked with nuclear fish u could make his partical effects ride events

No. To make the particle events work you need to create .ovl files from scratch containing bone animations with the relevant particle effects.

I'm thinking that's what caused it, although I don't know for sure. I know too many partical effects can cause similar problems, so maybe you passed the games limit...

[Grindalyx]

wagi, I think I'm going to try setting many of the stock ride events to one track piece and I'll see if that also causes it. I've never had that problem with particles, though, and I place many around (I have a massive massive park with a ton of stock animatronics as well as custom ones complete with NF particles adorning several key attractions). I hope I can eventually get the Animatronics as Ride Events set to work with my park properly, as I love it.

[wabigbear]

Cool! Let me know what results you get and then I'll try to replicate it on my machine too.

[Laszlo41]

Downloaded this last night. Fantastic work, thank you very much. My daughter and I both think it rocks. Very impressive work.

[RCT3LovaDude117]

^Yes indeed. This set is very intresting.

[tycontycon]

i would love to use it but i do not have wiled:cry:

[Shawzee]

does this work like instant wood where you copy all the files from the specified floder and it will work anyway?

[RCT3LovaDude117]

Yes.

[dark_zero08]

You need wild to use it? Wheni first downloaded it it did not work and that made me supe rmad so If I redownload it and place it in my game again it will work?

[wabigbear]

Yes, you need Wild! to use this set.
