Where to place custom scenarios/tracks/etc.?

[Wuzzy]

Hi!

I am on a GNU/Linux machine, recently installed OpenRCT2 but I have not idea where to place custom tracks, scenarios and other “custom” files to make them show up in OpenRCT2.

I also noticed that when saving a track design from the track window, it always opens my system window and points to my home dir (instead of the correct one) every time, which is very annoying.

I have searched the GitHub wiki and the forums but I found nothing. I found .config/OpenRCT2 in my home directory but it doesn't seem to do what I expected it to do.

If the subdirs of ~/.config/OpenRCT2 dont work for you, that's probably a bug.

Subdirectories I have in .config/OpenRCT2:

- landscape

- save

- themes

- title sequences

That's all. Where do I put my tracks, scenarios, and so on? None of these directories seem correct.

You have to put them in the main RCT2 directories not the OpenRCT2 ones.

No.

`scenario` and `track` don't exist by default, because they are empty. If you try to save any of these using in-game tools, they will get created.

 

The correct path is ~/.config/OpenRCT2/track and ~/.config/OpenRCT2/scenario

Yes, those directories mentioned by janisozaur worked for me. Thanks.

Excellent work guys with OpenRCT2. Really appreciate the work you guys have done.

I have a slight problem, a newbie here lol. I downloaded the RCT1 scenario pack but can't for the life of me find the  ~/.config/OpenRCT2/track and ~/.config/OpenRCT2/scenario path.

Do I have to press ctrl and something on my keyboard to paste this in? Thanks in advance.

Those directories don't exist until you save a scenario or track. Just create them manually and then put the required files in there.

[janisozaur]

Dot-files would be hidden by default. ~/.config should exist on your system already, deeper directories would be created on demand by OpenRCT2. You can simply `cd` to them just like you would to any other dir.

Thanks for the quick replies but I'm confused, where can I find .config/openrct2? I'm on Windows 10. I have all the scenarios, just don't know where to put them or how to put them in this .config thing because I can't find it, do I search in my C drive for something specific? Thanks again.

Nevermind, I managed it, thanks guys.

~/.config/OpenRCT2 is the location on Linux, on Windows it's probably in your Documents folder.
