About This File
This is my second full released set! This is just as my other set, a special and unique one for RCT3, till now
This set simply includes cubes which are almost invisible. That's why I recommend you to place them ON a trackpiece or on another object. If you do so, you'll see the cube has a glass texture!
Every cube can have one particle effect on it, and comes with 2 diffirent positions and 3 animation lengths (3-5-10 seconds).
You can add by yourself, up to 20 effects to the set, by following the tutorial and readme included in the download! Never struggle with the mixmaster shows again!
ADDITIONAL INFO FOR THOSE WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND THE README!
Quote1. Download the set
2. Unzip it, and open the folder. In that folder you'll another zipped file, a folder which is called "Particles", a readme file and a PDF file. The PDF file is actually a tutorial on how to change/add particle effects to the set.
3. Let's start installing everything.
First: Open the folder "particles" in there, you'll see 8 files. Every file ends with the extension *.frw and are named like this: "Kiotho_CustomEffectXX" (The "X" is replaced by a number: for example 01; 02; ... ; 10; ... ; 20. It CAN go till number 20. So this means, you can add up to 20 "different" particle effects to the set.
Install the particles:
The folder "particles" is still opened. COPY the files in the folder, to the following path:
C:/ ProgramFiles/Atari/RollercoasterTycoon3/ParticleEffects.
Now the particles are installed.
Installing the SET:
So I told about another zip-file, in the unzipped folder. That file's called "Kiotho's Custom Particles as Ride-Event" Unzip that folder now, and in there, you'll find the actual set. so this need to be installed to
C:/ ProgramFiles/Atari/RollercoasterTycoon3/Style/Themed. Just as any other cs-set.
You're done
But now adding/Changing your OWN particle effects, or for example, these from here in the topic.
I'll take an example, from this set. If you download the set, you'll see 3 folders, but in fact it doesn't matter. They also can be in one and the same folder, as they all are *.FRW files.
For example: Open the folder "particle effects" included in THIS download here. in there, there's a file called "rain.frw". Now you want this effect as ride event, used by my set. What you need to do is:
COPY the file "rain.frw" to your desktop. Edit the name, and change it to:
"Kiotho_CustomEffectXX", but replace the "XX" by numbers (till 20 as said above)
For example: "Kiotho_CustomEffect09", as you allready have 8 effects which were included in my sets download.
Now again, COPY the renamed file (so the old "rain.frw", which is now "Kiotho_CustomEffect09.frw") To
C:/ ProgramFiles/Atari/RollercoasterTycoon3/ParticleEffects.
And DONE! You also can change/add the effects while RCT3 is playing, so you don't need to close the game and restart it, when adding effects! If you open the set in RCT3 (located under ride-events), you just scroll down till you find "Effect 09" and then you can select the "animation length" (how long the effect will last" and the placement.
That's it, hope this will clear everything up
*Please read the readme!
**Note: This set only works for *AFE files, so not for lasers or waterjets created in RCT!
***If you have questions or problems, please ask
Have fun!
