You are hitting "create Scenery Ovl" - then "Install" afterward?

Make sure you save separate Sid files for each object.

[coastercrazy]

ok but how do i do that ?

[RCT3robin]

At creating scenery,press ''Save sid''

[coastercrazy]

oh know its a noob question but i cant see sid on there ?

Nope... all wrong...

if you are getting the no SVD for SID error when making scenery, it is more than likely that you

1) did not delete the previous install from the themed folder and have re-named/removed some piece (the importer does not remove items from the installed folder, but it will overwirte existing files and add new files to it). allways delete the installed folder before installing an update, just to be sure.

2) you changed a text string (or icon name) but did not updated the Scenery's setting to include the new name (that section, where you assign a group, icons,text names- that's the SID, by the way: think of it as Scenery Information Data).

3)You have used the same OVL twice in two different scenery pieces (though I don't know if that causes the same errors, it still sisn't good).

ok but ive tried loads of tutorials but still nothing

ok so try this:

1) delete the set folder in your style/themed directory
2) delete the project (not your models, just the ovls and the rest)
3) Start creating the ovl file again and make sure you don't rename/re-move a text string and/or object without updating your folder

NOTE: if you want to update your folder delete the folder inside your style/themed directory because you only overwrite and add files as Vodhin sayd!

try this and let us know what happens
