If OpenRCT2 cannot find the original game files, it should open a window asking you to specify the location. Which path did you select there?

The Scenario Editor is very buggy. I cannot say for sure why it freezes in your case without having a landscape to test it with. Did you save your work in the meantime? You should be able to load one and continue with it. If you don't: check if you have any autosaves. They are in a subfolder of the "save" folder.

It's not the same, no. RCT Deluxe is to RCT1 what Triple Thrill Pack is to RCT2: the game bundled with the expansions. You cannot substitute one for another. OpenRCT2 needs Triple Thrill Pack. Optionally, you can also _add_ RCT Deluxe to improve OpenRCT2 with some extra features. Edit: note that you don't strictly need Triple Thrill Pack. The disc versions of RCT2+WW+TT will also work. The same applies to RCT1: RCT1+Loopy Landscapes will work just as well as RCT Deluxe.

They're also the same type of file used for ride vehicles, walls and path. Doesn't mean the object types are interchangeable.

That's correct. OpenRCT2 does not yet implement those surface styles, as the SV6 file format does not provide enough for it. It is planned, though.

The operating system you're using is about the bare minimum you need to specify. But I'm a bit confused by this sentence anyway. Do you mean that your primary system is not a Mac? If so, what operating system does it have? You cannot download OpenRCT2 on Steam. You can download the files from RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 from Steam, which are needed in order to make OpenRCT2 work. Perhaps this is what you meant, but I need to check it before moving on to the more complicated stuff.

The closest you can get is using the Track Designs Manager, which will draw a preview of the ride including its scenery. But you'd have to determine what scenery it uses by eye.

You hold down the SHIFT key, then move your mouse up and down to adjust the height. (This also works for scenery, by the way, and can also be used to place stuff underground.)

That is not quite correct. It uses NN for integer scales (so 2x, 3x, ...), but it uses either Smooth Nearest Neighbour or Linear scaling for any non-integer scales (e.g. 1.5x 1,75x, ...).

Yup, so far even oddball version such as the Polish and Russian versions work, even the ultra-rare Japanese versions seem to work without any problem. I would still recommend that you _buy_ RCT2. You don't need to worry about language differences - OpenRCT2 ignores the language of your RCT2 files and allows you to play in *any* language that RCT2 ever shipped in, as well as a lot more!

There is no need to get sarcastic. This is also not the right way to do it. `make install` will take care of downloading objects and title sequences. If you ever need to install objects manually, the best way is to download an objects release and unzip it.

@ls004 You will need to report your version and build hash (e.g. ab1c2d3e). It's possible you're on an old version of OpenRCT2. (Also, next time, please create your own topic instead of hijacking someone else's.)

Besides the command not being in your path, you downloaded the wrong .exe - if it has GOG_Galaxy in its name, its an installer stub that downloads the game for you. What you need is the offline installer (a couple of a hundred megs) for RCT2.

To make sure it isn't a bug, could you upload your scenario?

Can you provide your operating system and the build hash that is displayed on the title screen (looks something like ab1c2d3)? (These are needed for about every problem, btw.)

Upload your .sc6/.sv6. It's something we could add autofix code for.

@daaabus You should not hijack someone else's topic (create your own), but even if you do: at least include enough information for us to actually *do* something about it. Stuff like the output of commands that did not work.

To elaborate on X7's point: you need to own RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, and you need to have it installed first.

Welcome!

That's an RCT1 path.

@ohcatprincessCan you give me the full path that you're selecting?

I can see why you did that, but you will need to select the folder right above it: This PC/ Windows (C:)/ Program Files (x86) Rollercoaster Tycoon 2- Triple Thrill Pack

So you get this error every single time on startup? Could you pinpoint the exact version where it started to go wrong? You can download older develop versions from this website.

I have contacted Jarno, who maintains this site, so it should hopefully be solved soon.

It is planned, but see here: https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/wiki/Increasing-of-game-limits#can-openrct2-increase-the-number-of-
