Every time after my launcher updates openrct2, and right after i press the "play" button, the game windows goes white or "blank", and i must wait four, maybe five minutes for the game to actually start... Am i the only person with this issue? I use windows vista 32-bit on a toshiba laptop. I have "normal openrct2", "openrct launcher", and "rct2 vanilla" installed on my (this) laptop. I also have at least 3 object file folders. Anyone know why this is happening or if it could be fixed?
Anyway, i have posted this issue on github, and i was told there that this may be happening because my computer is "slow". It is not such a big problem because once i wait for the first game load after the update, the game open instantly there after. At least i am able to run the game at all, and i am thankful for that. But if anyone has further advice please let me know.
Thankyou.

oh whoops i did not see that.

I've had problems with the game taking long to start, and i've posted this in the "issues" forum at github. So yes i have a similar problem sometimes. It happens most often when i open the game through the launcher after the launcher has updated my game. But it sometimes happens randomly at other times when i try to open the game. It must have something to do with the object file checking. I am not currently a developer of the game so i have little understanding of this.
But yes i do have this issue too. The game takes 4 minutes to start when this happens...

"but we need to update our dependencies after that the game should work on vista again."
do you have an idea of how long this is going to take?

I am not able to figure this out... I went to: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/IntelOrca/openrct2-ject9/build/0.1.2.11657/job/q0nt4nbfuvh9ohln/artifactsi
and saw :
Zip archive13 MBOpenRCT2 debug symbols-Which one do i download? -I downloaded all three, and extracted "OpenRCT2-0.1.1-linux-i686.tar.gz" to Docuements/OpenRCT2, and i am still getting the same error.. did you actually mean"OpenRCT2/bin/openrct2.com." or ".exe" ????Anyway this doesn't seem to be working. I reported my issue at github so maybe i'll wait to see if future updates don't have this error.The developers at github are supposed to be addressing the problem, but they have not fixed it yet.Oh and also, at github, they suggested i upgrade to "linux" but i don't trust that linux will be familiar to me and prefer not to install it. -
Windows x86 Installer OpenRCT2-0.1.1-windows-win32.exe c35cd9604… 5.18 MB The above file is no longer available. Anything earlier than this would probably work for me.
.... so, how do i download a version older than 5 days, preferably older than 8 weeks???
-
i dont remember which version i was running that worked but it was from anywhere between 4 and 16 weeks ago.

Because of this:
-
how do i download an openrct2 version older than 5 days? The only thing i see older than 5 days is at "download 0.1.1 release" but the page is saying that "this file is no longer available".
-by the way i think i need a version from atleast 2 months ago.
-
I had been without internet access for weeks before today and the openrct2 version i was using during that time worked well enough... and i could play(though it did freeze once in a while before loading). But now, today after my launcher has installed the latest "develop" version... i cannot open openrct2 at all, i get this message: openrct2.exe - Entry Point Not Found (x) The procedure entry point K32GetModuleFileNameExW could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll after pressing the "play" button from the launcher.
I am completely unable to open the game, any help???

My computer began to detect a "win32:malware-gen" virus after installing "avg free anti-virus". I was told at github.com that the"win32:malware-gen" virus is harmless and nothing to worry about. I have since uninstalled avg and the game now opens. I suspect that the win32:malware-gen may be something like a "decoy" to actually prevent other virus's, but no one at github has told me exactly what it is. Anyway i don't seem to have any virus or problem with my computer now, so it probably is harmless, but i am still wondering what exactly is "win32:malware-gen", does anybody know?... well, thanks anyway...

Am i the only one who has detected a virus in the launcher update, cause i'm pretty sure it's there...

Merging multiple track types:
When building a coaster made of multiple track types, first select a coaster type that most of the coaster will be made of. This will be the "mother" coaster, the coaster that you make your station, trains and most of the track pieces with.
Build the first part of the coaster, or as much of it as you want, including the station. Now stop, or simply erase sections to create a void where you want the new type of track pieces to be (loops twists hills whatever).
[To create "voids" in a coaster's track: First; "close the coaster for service" (red flag it), then right click your mouse on any part of the track you want to alter, this will open the construction window. Now use the left arrow, right arrow, and the bulldozer icons to delete the highlighted section(s).]
Now select a new type of coaster from the rides menu that you want the "void" or "section" of track to be made of, and have it's "construction window" open. Now select the track piece or pieces you wish to use and start building at the spot where the last track piece ended. Physically merge the new-track-section to the previous track type by building the new-track pieces at the same angle, height, and position that the automatic track builder would for the next "mother" piece. If you've done this correctly, you should see the track piece ends "melt" together.
When you finish building the section made of the secondary type of coaster, leave that "secondary coaster" 'closed for service', and close it's "building and options window". (you only need it's track pieces... the ride itself will always remain closed and will be a "dead ride" only serving as part of the mother coaster's track) [in most cases].
Now connect the "mother" coaster to the end of the "new-coaster-track-section" and continue the coaster all the way back to the station. (this would usually be done with the "mother" coaster but can be done with the new coaster as long as the tracks are merged and the coaster becomes a complete circuit).
Be sure all of the track pieces are merged or the coaster won't function.
Always remember; you can build forwards and backwards !
-Sometimes... to get a roller coaster made with multiple track types to work, you have to try setting the "mother" coaster, to a different operating mode... If you're getting a message; "coaster is not a 'complete circuit' ", and you're sure that all the track pieces are merged together, then try selecting a different operating mode. Sometimes only one, or another mode will work, especially when you're building a coaster with multiple track types. ;For example select: (powered launch without passing station, instead of powered launch passing station, or continuous circuit mode instead of continuous circuit block section mode etc...)
Also try using only one train instead of two, or less trains instead of more if your coaster is not working.
One thing i am not sure of: You may have to have certain cheats enabled in order to make a coaster of multiple track types, but i am not sure of this, and i am not sure which ones. Try enabling some cheats in the golden shovel, this may help.
By the way, I have never built a coaster made of more than 2 track types, but i do think it's possible.

Does anyone know... do spawn points have to be pointing away from the park entrance in order for the peeps to exit the park? Or do the peeps automatically exit through the gate even if the spawn point arrow is only pointing into the park? I have observed that peeps do not exit out of the park unless there is a spawn arrow pointing out, but i may be wrong.....

There would be no way to display more than 4 angles of view during game play, unless every ride, track piece, and object ever created were re-drawn by hand from those new angles. And still, the game itself would have to be remade to display more than 4 angles of view.
-It sounds like maybe you need to learn how to use the "cut away view". Select the cut-away view in the "eye"/view icon, then slide the slider left and right to see under, through, and inside things while you build. Also, use the tile inspector's x/y axis to move to new squares left,right, up, or down precisely and one by one by clicking the up or down arrows next to the x or y axis's.
These techniques may help you get around blocked views etc...

To place spawn points:
[note: Enabling sandbox mode and using the "golden shovel" is not necessary when placing spawn points in the scenario editor because the mini map in the scenario editor has full functionality by default.]
First be sure you have cheats checked from the options tab in the upper right corner of the opening sequence screen (in the gears tab/toolbar; check cheats), this will give you the "golden shovel" tab at the top left while playing a game (the golden shovel will be a new tab, one tab to the right of the floppy disk tab). Now while you are in a game, select; "enable sandbox mode" from this golden shovel tab. Now, go to the "grid" icon to the right of the "eye icon" and select "show map". This will open the mini-map. Now in the mini-map click on the red-shirted peep. This red shirted peep icon is the "spawn-point" icon/tool. Now that you've clicked on this icon just place your spawn points by hovering the cursor over a tile of unowned land where you want the spawn point to be(a blue arrow should appear) (the spawn point needs to be on a path for peeps to enter a park, and also will not appear unless it is placed on an unowned tile). Move the cursor slightly to point the spawn point arrow northeast, southeast, southwest, or northwest. Now just click the left mouse button to set the spawn point on the tile.
To own or unown land tiles: open the same "mini-map" (next to the "eye-icon"). Now click on the "blue-grid" icon. If "land owned" is checked, every tile you click on will become "owned". And Visa-Versa, if land owned is unchecked, every tile you click on will become "unowned".
Now there are just a few more rules to follow:
The spawn point must preceed a park entrance by at least one tile or be directly on a tile embodied by the park gate itself for peeps to flow from the spawn point and into your park. To place a park entrance, go in the same mini-map and click the park entrance icon. This will allow you to place a park entrance. You can only choose one style of park entrance per map. The entrance style you desire must be selected in the object selection menu, however, If you want to deselect the type of entrance that is currently in a park and select a new entrance you must first delete all of the entrances that exist in the park by right-clicking on them while the park entrance icon is depressed or "selected". Only after ALL of the park entrances have been deleted from a park, can you deselect the current type of entrance and choose a new one in the object selection menu.
Now you should be all set to place your spawn points and entrance(s).
Remember, you need your spawn point and the rest of the path leading into your park entrance to be "unowned" for the peeps to pass in or out of the park, but the path after the park entrance that continues into the park must be "owned" for the peeps to pass through the entrance and into the park. (the park entrance itself is usually "unowned" by default and cannot be changed).
Oh and one more thing; the path containing your spawn point leading up to the park entrance and into the park must originate from (or be touching) the park map's outer edge (or outer border). [atleast i think this is true, but i could be wrong.]
Follow these rules, and with some experimenting, you should be able to successfully build your park entrances and spawn points.
Note: The blue spawn point arrows will become invisible after leaving the mini-map menu, you just have to trust that they are there.

So which of these 3 folders do i extract to?
17 minutes ago, joshmarsilio said:By the way i have 3 rct2 folders 1 is C:\Program Files\OpenRCT2, 2 is C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive\RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 (my vanilla/CompactDisc official game folder), and 3 is C:\Users\Josh\Documents\OpenRCT2
i'm guessing it's #2?
-
Now im extracting the .zip file from the address you gave me and im attempting to merge it with my folder C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive\RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, and it's asking if i want to replace all kinds of critical files with the newer ones. I don't know what to do because i don't want to completely destroy my current setup... Any way i'll try cautiously to figure it out on my own unless you have advice thanks.

So, i downloaded the demo .exe file at the link you gave me. The file was around 500 mbs.. I extracted it to c:\program files\openRCT2. I got errors (could not copy files over and over...). I suspect i have to extract the file to a different folder, but the instructions are telling me to extract it to c:\programfiles\openrct2, which is what i did and it didn't install. By the way i have 3 rct2 folders 1 is C:\Program Files\OpenRCT2, 2 is C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive\RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 (my vanilla/CompactDisc official game folder), and 3 is C:\Users\Josh\Documents\OpenRCT2 (where most of my save files go maybe because windows vista splits the openrct2 folder to place some files in the "documents" folder it does this to other games too. I don't know if everyone else's computer does this but mine often puts game files in both c:\programfiles\gamename and also in C:\Users\name\documents folder.

During the "title screen" before loading a game or save game, click the white and green "options" tab in the upper right corner. Next click the "wrench" icon and make sure "enable debugging tools" is checked.
