[REL] Covers&More

[DasMatze]

Hi!

This set contains some generic pieces from my Inner-World-Park. Like the name says there are the round pathcovers too. Actually I dont wanted to release this set because its not finished yet and I will add more things I need for my park. But now I make updates of my sets and therefore I release it now.

These curved path covers will definatly be usefull :). These road lines will also be very usefull, I remember something like that in RCT2, been waiting for a pack like those for ages.

Thanks for releasing these.

Excellent Matze! I cannot believe how many sets you release! Do you do anything else? :p

[GerBil]

Hey look! AT-Mad is back!

This looks great! I love the brick walls, and the covers,the fence, the gate, the fountain, all that stuff!

[wabigbear]

You're spoiling us with this constant stream of new CS!


But we like being spoiled! LOL! Thank you DasMatze!

[infiniteblue]

This is a great set, DasMatze! You make some of the best sets on the forums! Great job!

[-eezee-]

Wow, I love the round pieces. Very usefull.
Thanks for sharing.

[thiery]

is it normal when you choose recolorable white color to have a gray result ?

[infiniteblue]

It just depends on the saturation of the texture used. It's not a problem, its just one of those little idiosyncrasies of RCT3 CS.

Thanks!!!! Good set!

If I redownload it, will old pieces from my park still be there or will I have to replace them?

[DasMatze]

They will still be there. (without guarantee)

Love the roads with the paint on them! That will make building roads 10x easier than it is now! :up:

[~LoveTulie]

I love this! Especially the curved paths!

[rideslover]

wow, good job! I don't like those rides with base, entrance and exit. just I need ride on the grass or ground? is that invisible base, invisible entrance and exit? just look like funfair or fairground.

[RCT3LovaDude117]

Whoa! Tightness! But how do you make water in the fountain like in "InnerWorld"?

[DasMatze]

But how do you make water in the fountain like in "InnerWorld"?
Dig a 4x4 hole, fill it with water and then place the fountain on it. ;)

Lately Filefront is almost impossible to download anything from...they claim there's never servers available. It may have something to do with by being in Brazil, but any other download sites available Das Matze? Thank you!

[RCT3LovaDude117]

I can host it some where else. Just wait.

[DasMatze]

AFAIK its not allowed to host the copyright material of others on any public servers without the permission of the creator. I already sent him the set with an email.

[RCT3LovaDude117]

Okay. Didnt know. Thanks...I guess.

DasMatze

You are very much correct on that.

Thank you Das Matze, very much appreciated! :D

[Fifa06duDe]

Very nice set! I like the sand so you can put it near the "Spiral Slide" ride. :):up:

[adamb241]

THATS SOO COOL i hate the boring plain side walks and thins good idea

Cudos to you

[Apophis_420]

:(i cant download the file, i keep getting a link error when when click the link

[MINIggy03]

Could you do some requests?

Would you be willing to do the curved path covers with the same textures of the current paths in the game so it could just bleed into those?

Also, with your curved wall/railing, would you be able to create one with the fences like in the Circus set? Like colorable metal railings?

Great set!

Can someone tell me if there have been having problems with this set because everytime i load my park up i am always getting brunnen "No SVD for SID" and i don't know what i have done wrong and i have installed it in the right place.

[wabigbear]

I use these all the time Gavin, so I don't think it's the set.

Here's how to double-check to make sure there's no extra folders:

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 sAcenery 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 scenery 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?A 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.

I have not got xp i have only got windows vista, the problem is when i extract the folder from my deskstop to the one where all my cs is there is a folder there called Dasmatze cover&move and inside of that folder there is another folder called 1 and 2 ovl files.
