Trading with Others

Note: Song files are NOT saved with any saved game, coaster, park, scenario or any other saved element in RollerCoaster® Tycoon 3. The game only plays game music or other music found in the My Music/RCT3 folder of your PC.

While we hope you’ll want to share your RollerCoaster Tycoon® 3 creations with other players, we strongly encourage you to respect the copyright owners of your music files. Please do not make illegal copies of copyrighted music. We support copyright laws all over the world and the rights of artists to profit from their compositions. Piracy is wrong and hurts artists.

From time to time, we’ll post links to web sites where you can post your creations online.

Visit rollercoastertycoon.com or atari.com/rollercoastertycoon for links to these web sites.

Loading Creations of Others

First, copy the file containing the data for the Peep Group, Coaster, Structure, Fireworks, Scenario or Amusement Park to the directory indicated on the previous page in the Sharing Your Creations section. If music linked to the item is not from the game, make sure the file is located in the My Music folder found within the My Documents folder.

When you start the game, the creations will appear in the list of Peeps, Coasters, Structures or Fireworks. Scenarios and Amusement Parks can be loaded from the Sandbox screen.

Loading Rides from RCT and RCT2

Do you have coasters you created for RollerCoaster Tycoon® or RollerCoaster Tycoon® 2? Copy the

.TD4 or .TD6 file to the My Documents\RCT3\Coasters directory. Next, start RCT3 and either enter a scenario, the sandbox or the coaster designer. Notice when you click on the rides but- ton, a new button is present at the bottom of the stack. Click this button to show a list of RCT and RCT2 coasters present in the directory. Click one of the coasters from the list to add it to your park, then save the old coaster in the RCT3 format by clicking the SAVE icon found in the coaster's con- trol panel.The search button found on the import window also searches the selected hard drive for any other .TD4 or .TD6 files and then adds them to this list.
