hurricanebrain Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 Hey all, I found out about OpenRCT2 recently and I'm loving it again! It's been so many years, it's awesome! Now I want to try to install UCES as well, but I run OpenRCT2 on the Mac and UCES comes as a windows installer. I have tried installing UCES on a Windows machine and copying the files but the extra content doesn't show when I start OpenRCT2. Has anyone tried this before and make it work? Or does anyone have a suggestion on how I can get this to work? Thanks!
daand12 Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 An addon pack from a group or single person. I have OSX el capitan installed in vmware, so i will test it if it will load.
imlegos Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 User Created Expansion Set. It's a scenario set from RCTgo. The install is the same for regular RCT2, but using a mac complicates things.
hurricanebrain Posted March 28, 2016 Author Posted March 28, 2016 Thanks imlegos! Your comment got me on the right track. I assumed that the UCES install would add it's files to my existing RCT2 install, but I just found out it's a totally separate installation. Found the files, copied them, everything works great
imlegos Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 I wasn't even intending to help... I was just explaining to Jan what it was... I guess my mentioning of how it's install works for Windows may have helped. But i had no intention to truly assist... You're welcome anyways. Also, if it came with a special .dat file, just rename it to CSS50.dat and put it into the data folder. You can fiddle around with some title screen options afterwards. If not, then just ignore this.
jensj12 Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 UCES wants you to install it in the RCT2 directory, as it just adds some files to it (installing is mostly just copying files). You did it manually now (like me, as my default RCT2 folder name was different from what UCES assumes).
janisozaur Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 I had a look at http://www.jumpjet.info/Classic-Games/Windows/RCT2/UCES/Expansion.htm, which apparently is the download site of UCES and the installer is a self-extracting archive. zipped again for download… anyway, you can simply extract it with any archiver. Just copy contents of /data over to your rct2 path.
