hey ,

i need help i need to no how you put your own music onto rct3, i have read the tutorials and that but when i click on the music on the game (rct3) it does not play , could you help?

also , when i go onto billboards and click custom image, at the top were it tells you were about to but your images for your billboards i says :

c:\users\Anthony\Documents\My Pictures\

in that folder i do have pictures that i want as a billboard but it says there isent anything in that folder on RCT3 , i need to no how to do this please ?

When the game is Installed, an RCT3 yellow folder should appear in "My Music" you just need to search for that folder....all the music you want needs to go there.You also need to check an option on the game which says, allow/disallow music from my folder, this needs to be set to allow.For your billboards, make a new file, and call it RCT3 custom Images, then put the relevant files inside...when you click on billboards, you are allowed to browse for any file you want, so just basically click on that folder, and the image you want.You must take into consideration that you are using Vista, but ive heard nothing from any forums, about any problems with issues such as the ones youve highlighted...see how you get on, and contact me again for further advice...hope it works

C:/users/Anthony/My Documents/My Pictures/then youre seleceted filename...im not understanding much, you should be able to browse any file in my documents, and apply it to your billboards, can i ask you how/where you get your images?

i either make em or get them of the interner , ive nearlly finished a video about it and itll be relesed on youtube, maybe thatll make u understand morre

Ok, ill see if can get you some advice followed up...just be patient

It would work like said above exsept you have windows vista so it wont. If youve upgraded from xp you will notice that in XP Most documents started with "My" as in "My Pictures" "My Music" ect. Vista doesnt do this, The whole interface has changed included the naming of files. To make things more accesible and easyier to find. In vista files are named without the "My" in front of them so its just "Music" or "Pictures"

When you try and load a picture up in the billboard menu, RCT is looking for the folder name or in technical terms the prefix witch is of coarse "My Pictures" that vista doesnt have so it wont find it.

I myself had this problem, There is a fix but its not reccomened unless you know what you are changing and doing. Myself and sevral others have used the method with no problems:

Allthough please be aware that you are in theory changing the systems Registry ect so you use this method with caution.

1) Open a command window (cmd.exe) and run it as administrator.

2) Browse (cd) to the folder c:\Users\<your user name>\Documents

3) remove the current junction by using

rmdir "My Pictures"

4) re-add the junction by using

mklink /j "My Pictures" "c:\Users\<your user name>\Pictures\"

Or....

when you open the command prompt, type the following:

cd "c:\Users\<your user name>\Documents"

rmdir "My Pictures"

mklink /j "My Pictures" "c:\Users\<your user name>\Pictures\"

With quotes and everything.

If done right you should have the following:


If not Do a system restore to replace the orgonal file placment ect and try again. DO NOT just rename the "pictures" folder to "My Pictures" It wont work as you will not create the prefix needed. If your still not understanding search on the atari forums for Billboard Fix and theres a thread with a video exsplain and showing what to do

could you give me the URL: to the billboard fix forum please?
