OpenRCT2 works on Windows 11.
The files you created with OpenRCT2, as well as custom scenery, are in the <user folder>\Documents\OpenRCT2 folder. I recommend you make a backup that directory, or better yet, the whole user folder. That is good practice anyway.

It’s hard to help without knowing your distribution (and its version). Please specify this information.

OpenTTD’s infrastructure is different from ours and it’s not necessarily easier to adopt their code instead of writing our own.
Nevertheless, a system like this (along with a web frontend) is planned. It’s just that we’re still busy with other things.

First: I am in no way a developer or anything like this. But I heard, that this was choosen, because the new save format still is not able to handle infinite rides.
That is _technically_ right: it can handle 18446744073709551615 rides.
But seeing as computers have a limited amount of memory, we had to pick _something_, and so we picked 1000. That is not set in stone, if lots of people run into it we will raise it. But it’s generally better to start off on the lower side, because raising a limit causes way fewer problems than lowering it.

There has been a port for years, it’s listed on the official site (openrct2.io) and here. The interface is not yet touch-friendly, although we are working on that.

The method is still supported, but it’s been years since I last tried unshield. I also have the CD versions, but I installed RCT2+WW+TT in a wine prefix and just pointed OpenRCT2 to that. I will look into it at some point when I continue work on the manual.
As you mentioned, the game can go for low prices on GOG or Steam, which is generally less faff and a good option if you can spare the money.

I just banned RollerCoasterTyphoon for... obvious reasons. Sorry for not intervening sooner.

The themes don't appear to do anything besides change the color. My biggest issue is the location of the toolbars, there is a HUGE gap in the middle with everything you actually need being jammed way up in the corners. Is there any way to move those around?
The RCT1 theme also enables the status bar, stoplight open/close buttons and a few other things.
There is indeed no way to left-align the top toolbar like RCT1 did. Although I wonder if that would really work that well if you consider the resolutions OpenRCT2 tends to run in. I guess it would be easy to try by fiddling a bit on TopToolbar.cpp.
On 14/10/2023 at 22:27, hunterjwizard said:Well I found a github discussion from 9 years in which someone was able to center-justify all the buttons, that would work too. But it doesn't seem this made it into the main codebase. There is an eye-rolling yet classic engineering reply on the thread: "people can use keyboard shortcuts, and no one who doesn't use keyboard short cuts could possibly care about button location".
I went and looked up the thread. You completely misrepresented what IntelOrca said there. This is not okay.
For anyone interested, here is the discussion in question: https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/discussions/15643
The only thing IntelOrca says is "I also think that players are more likely, going to want / use hotkeys to get to particular windows and tabs, and that the players who don't use hotkeys aren't bothered about a button to access a particular tab quicker." - emphasis is mine.
Additionally, you will notice that if new features are suggested, we will generally ask why it is needed. We have limited time after all, and every feature means extra maintenance and more things to go wrong. Many features have come with new bugs of their own or other unforeseen circumstances. Bugs that we then get flak for.

I recommend you set a scaling factor (integers work best, so try 2x or 3x) to make the game less microscopic.
QuoteI also find the UI a bit hard to use with a touchpad being in the left/right corners. Is there a way to move them? for example center them up the top or down.
I don’t quite understand, could you elaborate on this?
-
These paths, as well as a few other objects, require RollerCoaster Tycoon 1 to be linked to OpenRCT2. Otherwise they will fall back to the closest match we could find.

It’s hard to solve someone’s problem if they don’t answer questions. My guess is that this user simply put the objects in the RCT2 ObjData folder, which is not the correct place as far as OpenRCT2 is concerned.

Um, I really have no idea, so apologies, but there exists a "misc" (or whatever; an inventory of individual objects) tab: are "missing" scenery objects there? If yes, then they're available but would have to be hunted for ... If not, then this reply possess no value; sorry.
Typhoon
They should be under the `?` tab. If you cannot find them there, please upload an affected save and tell me which object is missing exactly, so I can investigate.

This is a limitation of the Scenery window, which can only handle 30 groups. You can see it already gets quite wide like this. Fixing it properly is going to mean a complete redesign and quite a bit of code, which is why it hasn't been done yet.

You did an incorrect upgrade, replacing openrct2.exe but not g2.dat. Easiest way to fix is by reinstalling OpenRCT2.
The version number v0.4.1 also shows you’re two versions behind - v0.4.3 is the most recent release.
-
That is indeed correct. The other way round (importing SV4, SV6, SEA, SV7) is possible though, and always will be.

What is your rendering mode set to?
-
Since OpenRCT2 v0.4.0, station types are objects like any other, so creating one requires roughly as much effort as creating a piece of scenery. So far though, I haven’t seen anyone make any custom ones.

Aah, I see. Didn't know. In that case I did the following: Deleted all the tracks from the RCT1 installation, deleted all the scenario's from RCT1, and replaced them with recreations, so now it works for me as I want to play it. Thanks for clearing it up. Still a bit confused why some designs were mixed between the classic and rct2 versions but that doesn't bother me anymore.
It’s more complicated than that. There were two different wooden roller coasters in RCT1:
- The regular Wooden Roller Coaster, not in RCT2, reintroduced as Classic Wooden Roller Coaster. This had the 4-seater trains in RCT1.
- The Wooden Twister Roller Coaster, the only one in RCT2, and thus renamed to Wooden Roller Coaster. This only had the 2-seater articulated trains in RCT1.

You’re unclear, did linking using the Options window work for you, or?

Winzip should work for you.
If that is what you mean?
This person is on a Mac, so that’s not going to fly. (Besides which, every operating system has supported extracting ZIPs out of the box since the early 2000s.)
On 23/11/2022 at 06:05, peachyhiker said:Hello,
Ive been watching one of my favorite youtubers play RTC and it has been really nice to see and hear the familiar sounds and graphics. After some deliberation I diced to take the plunge for my self and started my journey to playing this game on a mac. I am no tech person and I feel a bit over my head on how to get this to work. Especially when is starts saying anything in code. After watching a few youtube videos on how to get it to work I came to an impasse. I downloaded an extractor from Mac Source Ports.com and for what ever reason it wont open. Please let me know if you know whats happening and how to fix this or a different program I could use. I love this game and it would be a great joy to play it again.
Thank you in advance for any help you might have.

Where did you buy RollerCoaster Tycoon 2? Was it on GOG.com or somewhere else?
-
You take them from a portable Windows ZIP. Make sure you pick the same version as your APK is.
-
Those two are totally different games. It would require someone to add code for animals, their behaviour, exhibits, foliage, zookeepers and all other things into the OpenRCT2 engine, not to mention stuff like graphics. You’re looking at a few years work, and that’s assuming a full time job - all the people who work on OpenRCT2 are volunteers who have to squeeze it all into their spare time.

Your file manager clearly says that all these directories are empty.

The easiest way is to install RCT2 and both expansions in a Wine prefix, then pointing (the Linux version of) OpenRCT2 to those files.
Otherwise, the `unshield` tool should be able to extract the archives.
