WHAT CAN I DOOOOOOOO?

no svd for sid :
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 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? 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.

Your fault.:o


It's a simple fix though.

[farshid]

Question 1.What is OVL mean?
Question 2.Witch row or sentence do I have to read to take away the vires or whatever it is called?
Question 3.Where is the folder that holds the 2 OVL files.
Question 4.Where is the folder that has the name of the set thats empty.

[Coaster Guru]

OVl is simply the type of file that's there, it's just a normal file.

[farshid]

and what about all the other questions?

[wabigbear]

There is no virus. The error message is because you installed the CS set wrong.

Start at the top of those instructions and go sentence-by-sentence through them. Don't skip any steps. All the answers to your questions can be learned that way and the instructions will guide you to find the answers and fix the problem. Skipping steps will just mean that next time you install CS you'll have the same exact problem

[farshid]

acshuly the 1ns that have that problem i'll just delete.
i can take care of those files and also my name isnt farshid!!!!!!!!!

[RCT3robin]

Why your informing us that your name isn't farshid? Bit pointless Dont you think?

But i didnt get the language, Did you get it fixed or not?

[farshid]

sorry :).and also how do you make a turn style for ride entrences on rct3?

[RCT3robin]

I believe real working turn styles are not possible:p.

[Rocikryk]

...how do you make a turn style for ride entrences on rct3?
It's only cs objects for now. JackyX's Turnstyles is a well known turnstyles set if you're interested in downloading it.

[farshid]

So do i have to install cs that sais JackyX's Turnstyles in the cs list? Can u tell me how to? :)

Double posting is bad! Use the edit button on your posts

[farshid]

[Coaster Guru]

What a concept!

[Jonnyears]

You can find some cs here :
http://www.freewebs.com/pepsaxus/cslist.htm

Did I give you permission to put my custom scenery sets on there? Because I certainly don't remember doing so. I know it's just links to Rct-net but I don't want all my stuff scattered across the internet.

[farshid]

Now can I ask you somthing?
