No, this should not cause problems with pathfinding. The algorithm can get confused with double width paths (which are not always properly marked as such) and entrance/exit hacks, but this set-up should be fine.

Hm, that should not cause a crash in the first place. That should really be investigated.

You need to go to `Library/Application Support/OpenRCT2` and delete `config.ini`. That should reset the configuration back to the defaults. You can open the Library folder by opening a Finder window, clicking the "Go" menu and holding down the ALT key. It should then appear in the menu.

Oh, you meant the official patches for RCT2 itself? Those are indeed not needed, as they mostly/only concern the executable, which we don't use.

Can you provide your build number and the track designs in question?

One problem, as far as the game is concerned, is that the top section of the spiral lift hill is not a distinct track piece, unlike a regular lift hill top, block brake or end-of-station piece.

Did you use cheats at some point?

You should upload an SC4 or SV4 file that actually has 10% interest, then. I determined the 1.33% by checking the interest payments that RCT1 deducts with those from RCT2, and all I tried had this interest rate. There is also no indication on the TID a loan interest variable exists for SV4 files. I am not sure how you would "remember" that in the first place, seeing as RCT1 does not even display the interest rate, making it hard to determine without carefully checking interest payments and comparing them to the loan amount. Can you upload that save, then? And how do you know it's 10%? Did you check in RCT1?

The keys are used to avoid users impersonating one another. Most likely, your brother accidentally removed his key and a new one was generated. On the server, go to the config directory of OpenRCT2 (I'd be more specific, but you didn't tell me what operating system your server is on), then to "keys" and find the file that starts with his username and has a .pubkey extension. Delete that file and your brother should be able to join again.

This has since been fixed. Please upgrade to the latest `develop` version.

Normally, it should open Zenity and ask you to specify a location, but from above screenshot, it looks as if you haven't got either Zenity nor Kdialog installed.

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?
