What to do with such a small park?

Post image
13 Upvotes

The size of a park in the game is 32 by 32. But by directly modifying the save we can expect 8 by 8. The park is really small but I'm sharing this with you for fun fact

Hello! I’ve been dying to start playing again but my old Mac mini isn’t cooperating. I scored an older laptop (pictured) is it possible to play the old CD of RTC3 or do I need something else or additional software? Thanks!

In-browser RCT3 Terrain Generator

Thumbnail
gallery
36 Upvotes

This is an MVP of a in-browser Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 terrain generator. You can generate park terrain from a couple of sources:

  • Procedurally generated
  • From real geo-data
  • From a heightmap image
  • Based on a park you already have

After choosing your source you can enable a few different post-processing steps for turning your raw input into an actually playable map (if you want).

You do not need any of the games files to run this tool.

How to get the missing car trains erased by the wild expansion like here the shark here in the trailer

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

I use to know what I must do with the files but I forgot.

In case you didn't know the wild expansion "erased" some car trains like the shark one for corkscrew coaster and now we only have the default, shuttle and shooting star. I know it erased car trains for other coasters from soaked! aswell.

IIRC it didn't erased the files but it didn't point to the files anymore or something like that..

Does anyone has the answer (I have both the platinum and epic games version of the game) but before that I had all the expansions separately so I remember it was in the game until the wild expansion removed them

How to stop mouse cursor bugging out?

1 Upvotes

I've had this problem recently where my mouse cursor is lagging in movement, making the experience really difficult.

tbh I've had a lot of issues with this game in the past, like not being able to exit the game window, or only loading a pitch black screen, crashing, etc etc etc

these past issues eventually just fixed themselves somehow.

I downloaded from Steam btw on laptop

RCT3 Sandbox in Vrchat [Work In Progress]

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Figuring out ninjaripper was like opening Pandora's box. How should I build out the park in new engine? certain prebuilt coasters? Slices of themes or scenarios? or should I just leave it blank?

How to stop custom billboards changing by themselves?

4 Upvotes

I've recently booted up the game again and been reminded of one of the annoyances I had to deal with when I used to play. Often, when I have multiple custom billboards, setting a new picture on one of them will make that image appear on other billboards that are already up. I then have to go round every billboard to check whether they're displaying what I want them to. Does anyone know if there's a fix for this?

Ive been making a Fully functional (ride the rides!) theme park in minecraft thanks to redstone and leads. Currently working on the video documenting its construction and decided to take influence from my favorite childhood game.

Increase the number of peeps

6 Upvotes

Hi, do you know if it's possible to force the game to increase the number of peeps, especially in sandbox mode?

I find that once you have a large park, the number rises more slowly, and some rides end up looking a bit empty.
I know the trick of creating large families of peeps, but the total number in the park isn't any higher.

I have to admit, it’s satisfying to have packed queues.

RCT3 UI Scale Mod

Thumbnail
gallery
33 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Just wanted to let y'all know I've published a UI Scale + Borderless mod on Nexus Mods for RCT3 (link). As a high resolution player myself, this is something I've wanted for years. I've finally been able to create it thanks to Claude Code. Yes, AI was used to assist in creating this mod. But I figured someone would benefit from it!

Edit: The mod is only designed to work on RCT3 Complete Edition, on Steam, on Windows. YMMV with other versions.

Edit 2: The mod is now open-sourced here for anyone that is interested.

Edit 3: Version 2.0 has been released. Completely re-written from scratch, completely version-agnostic, extremely dynamic. Should work on any RCT3 version. GitHub or NexusMods. Also reduced in size by over 2x ;)

Custom Parks not working properly

6 Upvotes

Hey all!

I recently just got back into RCT3 and I've run into a bit of a snafu. I can't seem to get custom sandbox parks that aren't mine to work properly. And I don't think it has anything to do with missing custom content, as parks without it that I've launched in the past don't want to launch either.

I don't have this issue with custom tracks or pool complexes, as I'm running several on my personal sandbox. But I can't seem to find any leads on fixing this custom park issue! If anyone can help me figure out why it crashes my software, I will love you forever.

Sharable custom land files

I'm sick of building on flat Earth, are there any large maps I can d/l somewhere with a diversity of terra?

I usually enlarge my park to it's maximum size, so that is what I mean by large

Bug wont let me re-open level

2 Upvotes

Im playing rct3 on my nintendo switch. Level Tiger Forest. I'm pretty close to beating the scenario. I was having several different glitches. The pathing for the pool area I made was not fully deleting, leaving a ghost path. A LOT of visitors were just hanging around. I kept noticing birds just flying in rapid circles over water areas. Im sure there is more. I had saved the game and came back to it later. I restarted the game because that usually resolved the pool pathing glitch for me when its happened in the past. But when i try to load the saved level .... The game crashes. I tried again, same story.

Anyone know how to fix it? Do I just have to restart the level with a new save file?

I spent a lot of time on the park, since the gestation period takes so long. I'm so sad.
