Game Utilities
As soon as the original RollerCoaster Tycoon was released, like all games, people try to push the boundaries and bypass the limitations. Trainers were soon made for the series to modify the game and do things that were not normally possible. With the release of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, players could make their own custom scenery. This led to many popular utilities involving scenery creation and editing. Below you will find the most popular and useful utilities used by all the great players here.
Utilities

ParkDat
v1.6
ParkDat allows a user to open a RCT2 saved game file and view all the objects in the file. It shows which objects are used and which aren't allowing you to search all of the objects in the saved game. Remove unused, add, delete and replace objects.
ParkDat is a must have application for the everyday RCT2 player. -
RCT2 Object Editor
v1.23d
This program allows you to edit and create scenery objects for use with RCT2. Copy and paste images into the isometric views. Map recolorable parts of an object, select different properties for different types of objects and set height clearances.
Place the newly created object in the ObjData folder. The next time you run RCT2, it will automatically install the new item. Then run the scenario editor and select "advanced", then select the appropriate category. Scroll down the list to find the name of your new item. Be sure to name it within the editor - and provide translations if possible! -
