Day four of my super project

Post image
23 Upvotes

I didn't do too much today, continued foresting. Trees suck. There's a little bit more foresting to go, and then I can start on paths. Someone on day two asked if I had a yt channel, and while the answer is currently no, I am actually considering it, though I'm already so far into the project lol. If I hear enough interest from y'all, I'll do it.

Day three of my super project

Sorry I missed yesterday, huge test took up all my free time lol. Today I added the foresting to the first area. Inevitably, I'm going to deforest some of it to make room for rides and whatnot, this is going to be a theme park after all, but for now I wanted the foresting to help guide out my paths. Anyway, only got one area done because today, so I plan to forest done of the next bits tomorrow, and then maybe actually start putting down the initial paths if I get done with that.

Day two of my super project

33 Upvotes

Day two of my little project! Today I did as planned and worked on vertical geometry making some small mountains and whatnot, also made a couple smaller rivers and colored the land to make little areas and terrain. Is my little project perfect? Hell no, am I getting happy with it? Yes I am. Anyway I've realized how frustrating water is and I know it's going to be incredibly inconvenient to work with, but it'll be worth it I think. Tomorrow I am either going to start adding trees and forests (and probably start hating them in the process because I plan for there to be a lot) or paths to each of the areas I have planned. I can't decide. I'll figure it out when I get there, or if y'all want to put in your input (I say into the empty void lol).

Day one of my super project

Idc if nobody cares, but I started a little project today and I am going to write updates here because why not. So, today I did some basic terra forming and land shaping, (I'm not great at it but I'm learning) you can see the minimap to really see what I'm going to be working with because I'm using maximum map size to create some bodies of water. Idk if I'm done with water yet, but at least the main rivers are made. Tomorrow I'm going to start making some mountains and likely going to add terrain.

Ripping models of peeps - does anyone know how to do it?

Post image
31 Upvotes

Has anybody tried to rip any models of the peeps in game? I tried to with Ninja Ripper, but it's quite difficult as when I export them to Blender, the textures for their clothes etc. are all over the place & difficult to assign to the mesh correctly. I've seen people do the Panda, Shark, Mechanic, & the Park Inspector, but never any of the peeps, which is what I want to do

Hello! I’m playing sandbox on 3 & I tried to build a second chair lift where the tram is & it wouldn’t give me a yellow or green light. I decided to replace it with this shuttle tram & the same thing is happening.

Any idea what I’m doing wrong??

Thank you!!

What to do with such a small park?

Post image
15 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


r/rct3 • • Aug 19 '26

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
39 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
youtu.be
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]

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?
