Hello from me: JB.
Thanks, Wagi. I do try to look at everything and comment on it (when the Muses smile upon me). Comments are the lifeblood to any site, especially so, to sites where creativity is the main focus. Hi, Plokoon. Nice to see you here, too! Hey, Wowman. Yeah, I think we both registered here on the same day. I haven't been posting here much, yet. I wanted to get comfortable with all the newness first. And I think I'm gettting to that point now. Thank you, wolfpaw. And thank you for this site! Hi, shyguy. I'm glad to be here. I know that our birthdays are just a day or two apart, but you're still in your 60s (I think). I'm in my 70s now. You're just a wee lad. 😛 Oh, and I liked the SGW smileys better, they were easier to see; simpler lines and with more contrast. Maybe it's just my 'oldster' eyes.

Hello from me: JB.
Hello everybody! I'm another refugee from Shyguy's World. So glad that wolfpaw tossed us all a lifeboat to keep the various communities going. I might be the oldest member here, I just turned 70. I'm a Pacific Northwester living in Oregon. I like all things sci-fi and fantasy, also humor and some horror. I've been into computers since the mid 1970s. My first computer (1978, I think) was an Atari 800 (8-bit) with a whopping 48 kB of RAM (that's kilobytes, not megabytes or gigabytes!). Around 1981, I upgraded to an Atari 130XE with 128 kB and became proficient at programming in one of the enhanced BASIC languages (Basic XE). I still use that computer from time to time. My avatar, Ricky Rat, is an 8-bit character I created for a personal game I made called "Ricky Rat in the Hedgemaze" (around 1990). Ricky was conceived as Mickey Mouse's ne'er-do-well cousin. I've been playing the RCT games since 2005. First, RCT3 (vanilla), then Soaked! and Wild! Yes, I bought all three games separately. Then Platinum, when it came out. Along the way, I also got RCT (OG) and its add-ons from the bargain bins at Office Max. RCT 1, 2, & 3 all have their pros and cons and I enjoy playing them all. At Shyguy's World, I started (but didn't finish) a couple of RCT3 threads called "A Visit To Imaginarium- with the Peepertons" and "Lost Imaginarium". I'm planning on resurrecting them here at ParkCrafters soon.

Wilhelm1407's RCT3 Archive's
Really nice video, Wilhelm! I love the rustic, sturdy station. I think you used some of shyguy's Alpine sets for the railings and such? Good mountainous, woodsy scenery.

Fairground Collection
I love the fake facades on top of the building, with no backsides, just like you would probably see in real life. Company guy who designed the ride: "Eh, they aren't gonna see the back anyway. Save some money."

Wow, that's quite a pile of lumber! I love how it dips in and out of the forest.

Editing OVL Files
Thanks for this, RobertaME.🙂 Skimming through it, I can see that it is well written and well illustrated. Not sure if I will ever get proficient enough to do HEX editing, but who knows. I always thought it would be great if we could add more than three balloons to jdrowlands Make Your Own Balloons set. I tried once; never could get the extra balloons to show up in the game.🙃 I notice that you haven't gotten to the CSO part of the tutorial yet, so perhaps, when/if you get to that part it will help me solve the extra balloons problem.
