[TheBuilderman123]

@TomboFry change update to Sketchup 7 To Update To Sketchup 8

[TomboFry]

@Jangwoofilms No, sorry, I'm slightly too busy because I'm also working on a new RCT3 website ;)

[Jangwoofilms]

[PkmnBW]

[travisimoto]

you guys are really retarded!! you have to put the plugins : "RCT3 Tiles, ASE Exporter, and Parametics module" into the sketchup file called "Plugins" He says it right in the description!!! how about you guys stop whining and actually fucking read!!

[rotjesenmatjes]

Thanks but, im stuck at step 1, i cant find ''PLUGINS''

[TheAllShark]

[smeagleNL]

nice tutorial but isnt it a bit fast?

[DjB00y]

How do you get that rct3 tool in Google sketchup? I have download it, what must i do after that?

[Scout004]

I have sketchup 7. Does that mean that sketchup 6 is still available for download? Also i cant open JonWil's rct3 importer.

[kanisproductions]

[Irocksyoursocks18]

how did you get the plugin section on the toolbar where the three items are located

[failtolawl]

it's amazing whovere found out that you can make models with google sketchup, it's the easiest model making software out there!

[Pokeviruspmm]

Hey thanks for showing me how to do this. I got one question.... how would i delete the items from RT3? Say i made an idem but now i want to revove it, how and were can i find the file to delete it? Thanks!

Great vid!

[TomboFry]

@Pokeviruspmm C:\Program Files\Atari\RollerCoaster Tycoon 3\Style\Themed

[moeilijk18]

[coasterfanz2]

Is google sketchup free?

[coastersplus]

@coasterfanz2

[HockeyShowUK]

sketchup 6 pro is released (official, free because skup 7 is out)

[HockeyShowUK]

@HockeyShowUK go to my page to find the link, sorry i cant post it on a comment because it says error

[coastersplus]

@HockeyShowUK sketchup 7 pro is out!

[CoasterFan456]

Hi,

How do you make a set of Custom scenery?

Thanks for the video, It cleared a lot of things up.

[joshuan542]

when i try to find a texture what file type does it need to be saved as because for example i got a saw alive poster from google images and saved it into Desktop>Textures but when i click import and try to find the texture i cant find it

[c1hrisin]

Where do you put the finished files? the .ovl ?

[CoasterFan456]

Quick question- Is there any way I can use the textures in SketchUp or, do I have to make my textures?

[MouseMiceVideos]

I dont have plugin bar when i use it

[calbilerm3]

I have a Question i download the RCT3 Importer from the link when i press to open it, it says, "Unable to Open because it doesnt have a program associated to it" be explain if you could

[calbilerm3]

where did you find your textures?

[saylor1niner]

is it free

[TomboFry]

@saylor1niner Yes, it's 100% free.

[krutchis]

@TomboFry no it's not, only the trial, and after a while the trial stops working, and you cant re-install it

[97TheFirework]

how did you git to jonwils importer

[TomboFry]

@97TheFirework I downloaded the zip. Extracted it to a folder called "RCT3 Importer" (but you can call it whatever you want), then I went to that folder and opened "RCT3 Importer.exe"

[krutchis]

@TomboFry well it says mingwm10.dll was not found, what does this mean?

[TomboFry]

@krutchis It should be included in the .rar file. If it is and the RCT3 Importer isn't recognizing it, make a new file called register.bat (make sure it has ".bat" at the end) and in the file type:

"regsvr32 mingwm10.dll" and save it. If you're using Vista or Win7 remember to right click and Run As Administrator.

[bonered0927]

@TomboFry i already have google sketchup 7 do i still need to download it i know this is stupid to ask but still

[JasperVanDeurzen]

@97TheFirework Dude look in DESCRIPTION!

[Ioan100]

what size is your texture like 600x600 ??

[TomboFry]

@Ioan100 Mine is 256x256

[zackglazberghrocks]

its says when i am creating senory _____ isnt to the power of 2

[zakilium]

@zackglazberghrocks textures MUST e either one of these sizes

256x256

512x512

1024x1024

[c1hrisin]

i cant open .rars

[TomboFry]

@c1hrisin Get WinRar.

[The5ghzProject]

awesome thanks!!! i have tried a few different tutorials on cs and yours is the only one that worked for me Thanks!!!

[kare3423]

can i do this with windows 7 i worked for me with my vista but i don't know where to put the file of steel worx on my 7 help!!!

[TC8950]

Thanks!!!

[Carking18]

can you make a video of how to make animated scenery?

[TomboFry]

@Carking18 No sorry, I don't use RCT3 anymore.

[ejay201]

help does this work on big 3d files?? because i select the ase of my 3d but it freezes and taking longer to respond!!

[TomboFry]

@ejay201 Try to use files that have 300-400 polys or less, because it makes rct3 run very slowly otherwise.

[LowSodiumComedyTV]

at one point i wanna download it but i dont know if it will harm my computer

[TomboFry]

@LowSodiumComedyTV Well, the people that did try this tutorial will find out that it doesn't harm your computer at all.

[The5ghzProject]

yo i can confirm that all the files in the tutorial are clean i scanned with the latest avast definitions. and a few online file scanners its all clean and i can confirm this tutorial works on my windows xp with rct platinum

[TomboFry]

@The5ghzProject Hmm... you are right, but I don't know why people don't trust videos like these (when you have to download something)

So anyway, I'm glad it worked :), just don't expect anymore rct3 videos.

[ejay201]

chould this work on all 3d softwares?? or just sketch up??

[TomboFry]

@ejay201 This method only works on SketchUp (6 and 7, and maybe other future releases.)

[sckman14]

when i clicked on the links to the right it downloaded them onto my computer but when and a screen comes up with them on it but when i double click on it it says windows cannot open the file and it doesn't know what program its running for. Running windows 7 home premium plz help

[TomboFry]

@sckman14 You need WinRar

[CoasterLimits]

How do you do the icon, You have to do it like super small, How do you do this.

[TomboFry]

@CoasterLimits Make the icon 64x64 and save it as a bitmap (.bmp)

[CoasterLimits]

Thank you, Id already figured this out but still thanks, Not to sound rude! Lol, I love your custom s aswell, thats excellent!

[TomboFry]

@CoasterLimits

Cool, but I'm not that interested in RCT3 anymore though.

I mainly use Visual Basic now.

I only answer the questions people ask (sometimes, as you saw) because I have to, it's rather annoying though...

If you've got msn mine is tombofry|at|hotmail|dot|co|dot­|uk (what a surprise lol) I have to add the annoying bits because of YouTube...

[CoasterLimits]

Ok, tombofry, Ill be happy to add you to my msn!

[rctwik]

HEELP! please, i don't know what to do with the OVL files... I have a unique and common alright, i put them in a folder in the themed folder... it doesn't come up on the game (it is a piece of wall). Do i need a style.common.ovl and style.unique.ovl as well because all the other scenery does.

If so where do i get these/make these??

[knexdude7]

Yessss!!! It worked!  Thank u sooo much!

[TomboFry]

@knexdude7 Thanks. But I've stopped using RCT3 now, I mainly use Visual Basic...

[michelfijn]

What size is your logo picture?

because when I do 'Auto' -> 'OK' it does not do a thing.

There won't be an info bar like yours.

[TomboFry]

@michelfijn 64x64 pixels

[BillyTheAlienVideo]

PLEASE help me! It wont work because it doesnt have PLUGINS and i neeed ur help!!!!!! PLEASE!!!! Write me back helping me and il sub u!

[TomboFry]

@BillyTheAlienVideo So, you've downloaded the plugin files, extracted the zip, moved them to the plugins folder (C:\Program Files\Google\SketchUp\Plugins) and restarted SketchUp?? If you've done all this it should work :)

[IndianaBrown1]

[dipdipcurveloop]

[discojayjay]

dose it matter if you have google scetch up 7 ????

[TomboFry]

No. I said you need SketchUp 6 because I made it more than a year ago.

[tiggerbiggo]

does the importer have a virus? i need to know.

[xIWillDestroYouAllx]

no it doesnt

[the123jds]

do we put the importer in the "plugins" folder?

[TomboFry]

No. You can put it anywhere you want, it's not a SketchUp plugin :)

[the123jds]

do we HAVE to use textures

[TomboFry]

You should do yes.

[xXxSexyEmoBoyxXx]

i got up to the Create OVL. then a message comes up saying "Error from image libary (during OVL creation): Magick pixel cache is not open () Reported by magick/pixel_cache.c:588 (AcquireCacheNexus)" any ideas?

[TomboFry]

No ideas. It's never happened to me so I don't really know how to solve it.

[xXxSexyEmoBoyxXx]

[ejay201]

[zzzherculeszzz]

I have done exactally what you have done and then i save it in themed, then look on rct3 and it know where to be seen, can u plz help i can do a vid responce to help you

[TheEHSShow]

@zzzherculeszzz Have you seen the video called "How to fix the RCT3 Importer on Vista"? It should fix your problem of not finding your custom scenery on RCT3. btw, you don't need Vista to fix the problem, it's just that most people had the problem on Vista.

[Sub2Me4ASoop]

WILL ANYBODY LISTEN!!!!!!!

Me AND A BUNCH OF OTHER PEOPLE DONT HAVE RCT3 IN THERE PLUG-INS TAB!!

WHY? HELP!

[TomboFry]

DID YOU PUT THE EXTRACTED PLUGINS INTO THE PLUGIN FOLDER IN PROGRAM FILES??? THAT MAY SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM (woops caps lock on *roll eyes and sarcastic*)

[rct3gamer44]

is there maybe an easier way to make custom objects or somewhere where i can download someone elses

[nothingupthere]

JonWil's RCT3 Importer wont work for me, just random text

[TomboFry]

unzip it with WinRar first

[the123jds]

same thing with me but i downloaded another importer

[mr13sam]

how do we make diffrent textures

[the123jds]

will the importer just pop up?

[josh3096]

where do u find the textures

[TomboFry]

cgtextures . com

[shakaku99]

what about sketchup 7.1?

[czstealth]

@shakaku99

That works fine as well.

[thebigbang100]

at the icon references. when i click auto and then on concrete(my texture), there stands:

concrete Nr001 x01/y01

concrete Nr002 x02/y01

concrete Nr003 x01/y02

concrete Nr004 x02/y02

do i have to click simply on delete with the 3 last ones or did i do something wrong?

please help!

sorry for my bad english :(

[czstealth]

@thebigbang100

Use concrete Nr001 x01/y01

[thebigbang100]

should i just delete the other ones??

[czstealth]

@thebigbang100

No. Actually I cant remember if its 01/01 or 04/04, you should try those both.

[thebigbang100]

ok thanks i tried the 01/01 and it works! i'm so happy right now! thanks man!

[retardedmonkey07]

is it ok if i use sketchup 7?

[faceonfire1]

I don't know. I downloaded sketchup 7 and couldn't get that to work so I downloaded sketchup 7.1 and it still doesn't work. If you can tell me how to get sketchup to work I will see if it will work for making custom scenery and tell you.

[ImageAnt]

this is Sketchup 7!

[faceonfire1]

please help. I downloaded everything that I needed to but when I open sketchup I can't click on anything or it will freeze and say it is not responding. Any help would be welcome

[mjjmf1]

all of that for only a tiny box

[TomboFry]

You do know you can make something else other than a box.

Other people are smart enough to realize that.

[the123jds]

where do i go to find the importer?

[TomboFry]

the description

[the123jds]

no on my computer

[Khezhar]

lol wow these comments are getting annoying arent they tombofry. I just made a voice-over tutorial on this (sorry but i think its alot better tan yours) and already have over 1k views. lots of comments...

[TomboFry]

Can you at least thank me on your video for making THIS video in the first place??

[Khezhar]

oh gawd. lol i never thought of that. i will absolutely do that. but right now im leaving so ill do it when i get back!

[MegaDannyboy13]

thank you

i haven't figured out wich link has the texture so the vids paused right now

[KoaReedD]

my computer thinks the JonWii importer is a 3ds max file. is it? beacause i cant open it in it

[Thekillertrain]

ok cheers ;)

[Thekillertrain]

and after i made the senery i just cant find it in RCT3! please reply

[TomboFry]

You did watch the How to fix custom scenery in Vista (or something) because you commented. Well, on that video I did say it works for XP as well, because I have XP too.

[Thekillertrain]

and how do i get the pixel size of 64x64 or 256?

[TomboFry]

Use and image Editor

[Thekillertrain]

PS and what size dose the texture dose it have to be?

[TomboFry]

It says it all in the video (and description)

[Thekillertrain]

I just dont know which connects to one another and i really dont know why the texture always say texture is not square... And what the hell!?!?!?

[TomboFry]

What do you mean you don't know which connects to one another?

[Thekillertrain]

what i mean is that how dose it work to put the scenery into RCT3 with the impoter.

[TomboFry]

it creates ovl files (which rct3 needs for scenery objects) and puts them in a certain place (C:\Program Files\Atari\Rollercoaster Tycoon 3\Style\Themed). It's quite simple if you're a user of the importer, but if you're a developer, it would probably be very hard, but we dont need to worry about that.

[UltraRobbie]

It says my texture is not a power of two? What the hell? Stuck, could you help me please?

[shortblump]

does this cost any money??
