Micro Madness / Micro Madness is Underway!

Sad to hear your not entering. Is there any possiblity that I could use my entry in the second round? Because I really don't want it to go to waste and even if there was a replacement, they probably couldn't put as much time and effort into it as I did with the time thats left.

You guys need to be careful when you go into the SE and add to your benches. Remember you can only use stuff on a PT3 bench. Two entires have come in with other objects and odds are they will be docked a vote.

I hope you arent referring to mine, I used the modified peep bench that you approved, and I didnt add any additional scenery.

Na, im talking about RCFanB&M and Kenneth.

WTF? ...please tell me which object you're talking about.

QTCPC_DP, something like that, but odds are there could be more. Read the E-mail I sent you.

Great news, we now have one enter in from every pairing so even if we don't get anymore entires (13 more are due atm) we have enough for round 2 to start without alot of confusion

Just started mine.
Chances are pretty good I will get it finished.

wow, RCFanB&M is making this easier for me.. you will still probably beat me though, mate.

Good luck, any way. =D

^ok...we'll see...thanks and same for you!

Still have to check which are the objects Kumba's talking about...it's weird though, maybe they were created by another user, I don't know...

Sorry for this darren

My problem's also really weird: I've checked it myself and the game indeed installs two new objects: MGDECO03 and 1KEGYFPJ. According to parkdat, those two objects aren't in the savegame. After I've updated the headers in parkdat, the problem was gone and the save game opens fine without the two objects. Parkdat must have messed up the headers. I could provide you a new savegame, Kumba, but I guess I'll leave it this way and see what will happen after voting (for the moment it looks like Ekimmel didn't even send in anything, which I would regret )

Well, sad to say that my RCT2 days are done for awhile. I have spent the last 8+ hours trying to get RCT2 to work on my new PC with Vista yet It still crashes on a regular basis. I have always stated that I always build for myself and have fun doing it. It's no longer fun when it crashes every time I try and something as simple as making transfer tracks, sinking entrances or even using SoB. It's just to frustrating. Perhaps in a few months I'll try and figure it out.

With that said and unless Kumba has a replacement for me, congrats to Camcorder22! I always thought you were stronger than a 14th seed and you should do well!

James - rctnw

it works on vista ...
this is how you can get it to work:

right click on the shortcut.
go to compatibility
select "run this program in compatibility mode for:" Windows XP (service pack 2)

and select "Disable visual themes"

those two functions should make it able to run rct2 in vista.
(at least it does for me).
also it is wise to disable the User account controll (which you should turn of instantly in vista actually)

about the objects in the savegame.
Tyandor and I noticed this also with nostalgia vale ... sometimes parkdat adds objects without you noticing it ... I think it has something to do with equel MD5 codes but I dont know for sure.
at least make sure you always update the headers after you used parkdat (that should solve it sometimes already).

why do you cut them a vote if these objects aren't used Kumba?

Edit: just checked, 1KEGYFPJ has the same internal name as 1KEGYFPI (which I believe is in the PT benches) so that could be the reason why parkdat adds that object ... and if that is the reason we can only blame you Kumba because you made that object .
about MGDECO03 I haven't found anything which is the same with other objects.

I think I could have the same problem too, as I also have duplicate objects in my folder, and can't uncheck them when I'm in the SE..

Kumba, please let me know if you have problems with these dupe objects.. I have only used stuff from the PT benches..

No problems with your bench SF, nice work.

Listen just to be safe maybe start sending entires exported, if your object folder adds an object or two that I see you have not used I guess there is no need to penalize you. Just it would need to be exported so people without those objects can see the entry.

Even better if you can remove that stuff please do so it can be un-exported and not hurt our friends who have dial-up.

Also this is not what happened to RCFanB&M and he will be docked one vote.

I just wanted to point out

1KEGYFPJ has the same internal name as 1KEGYFPI

are the SAME object, just one is spelled in American english, one in European English, so thats why the objects contain the same internal name.

btw i havent updated the topic but there was a new release to the Parkdat

Just a quick question regarding these new errors that could potentially occur while I am playing RCT in the future, if you dont take your park into ParkDAT or SE for editing, these object "add-in" errors cannot occur, right?

so I have to ask... has anyone replaced Mifune?

Just sent mine.
