Ask the Experts / dumb newbie question

Did you un-zipped the file or just saved it as a zip file?

i've saved it as a zip, than un-zipped it and than i opened it in rollercoaster, but it gives me a warning.. that it can't find a file

You're going to need extra dats probably, some rides don't export right. In the compressed file, there should have been some other stored files that look something like ARRWMT.DAT, JAGIGLT.DAT or something ending in a .DAT, which are ride files. If they're in the compressed folder, export them out to your object data folter (objData) and you should be able to open the park. If they're not in there (which they should be, but on the rare occasion they're not) look around the site, someone's bound to have posted the file at some point, or you can ask around to see if anyone has the dat. You'll notice that, after you've done this, you now have that type of ride to put in your own park

Hope this helps

it worked thank you

Honestly there should be a generic read me file added to the saved games that have dat files in them so new players can easily find out where they actually go. I used to have problems with that all the time. It would take much work to do this.
