Hi I am a New Member and looking for a little help - amazingdoggy - Oct 4, 2014

Hi Guys,

I was hoping someone could guide me in the right direction. Smile

I have been learing all about RCT3 for the past 6 months or so ..and loving it. I just would like to add some features to my creations...such as fancy brakes and crazy steelworks. I see some creations out there with really cool brakes systems and and hoping I could use them in my constructions. Smile

Thank you everybody and enjoy the theme parks.

Thank you so much for this information. I was just wondering also if you knew how to access these files once I have downloaded them. The do not appear in my custom structure folder and I was hoping they would automatically go into my RCT3 game. Do I need to download some special software. Thank you so much for your help.

Hi The Amazing Doggy,

If I understood you correctly you need to "know how to access the file after downloading them" Most of the file come in a zipped or .rar file. I use Peazip to extract the files
http://peazip.sourceforge.net/
Make sure to click on the Peazip option not sourceforge (by the way it's free)

Once you have extracted the files and you see the (for example) the structure file .dat you would need to place it in Documents/RCT3/Structures. If you have a Mac, I am not sure how you would do this.
If you are talking about custom scenery objects: Go to your hard drive (mine is C Smile

, program files (x86)
Atari, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 Platinum, style and then the themed folder. You would put the custom scenery objects in the themed folder.

Once you are in the game lets just say sandbox - go to scenery then structures (looks like a little house just showing the frame). When you click on that you should see a yellow folder. Your structure file should be in there.

If you are talking about installing custom flat rides.
You would need to Make a Custom Folder in your Style folder. Then you would put the Custom Flat rides here.

I hope the screenshot I provided makes a little more sense then the working I did.
