1.0) About
|
||
|
---- -----
|
||
|
OpenRCT2 is an amusement park simulation game based upon the popular game
|
||
|
RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, written by Chris Sawyer. It attempts to mimic the
|
||
|
original game as closely as possible while extending it with new features.
|
||
|
|
||
|
OpenRCT2 is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 3.0, but
|
||
|
includes some 3rd party software under different licenses. See the section
|
||
|
"Licensing" below for details.
|
||
|
|
||
|
2.0) Contacting
|
||
|
---- ----------
|
||
|
The easiest way to contact the OpenRCT2 team is by submitting issues on GitHub
|
||
|
(https://github.com/IntelOrca/OpenRCT2) in the form of questions or bug reports.
|
||
|
You can also chat with us on gitter (https://gitter.im/IntelOrca/OpenRCT2).
|
||
|
|
||
|
2.1) Reporting bugs
|
||
|
---- --------------
|
||
|
GitHub is used for tracking bugs in OpenRCT2. Please check if the bug has
|
||
|
already been reported using the search functionality before submitting.
|
||
|
|
||
|
When you are sure it is not already reported you should:
|
||
|
* Make sure you are running a recent version, i.e. run the latest stable or
|
||
|
nightly based on where you found the bug.
|
||
|
* Make sure you are not running a non-official binary, like a fork.
|
||
|
When you are playing with a fork you should report any bugs to the bug
|
||
|
tracker for that fork which is most likely another GitHub repository.
|
||
|
* Make it reproducible for the developers. In other words, create a savegame
|
||
|
in which you can reproduce the issue once loaded. It is very useful to give
|
||
|
us the crash.dmp, crash.sav, crash.log and crash screenshot which are
|
||
|
created on crashes.
|
||
|
* Check whether the bug is already reported on our bug tracker. This includes
|
||
|
searching for recently closed bug reports as the bug might already be fixed.
|
||
|
|
||
|
After you have done all that you can report the bug. Please include the
|
||
|
following information in your bug report:
|
||
|
* OpenRCT2 version (PLEASE test the latest git develop build)
|
||
|
* Bug details, including instructions how to reproduce it
|
||
|
* Platform (Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, ...) and compiler (including version) if
|
||
|
you compiled OpenRCT2 yourself.
|
||
|
* The processor architecture of your OS (32 bits Windows, 64 bits Windows,
|
||
|
Linux on an ARM, Mac OS X on a PowerPC, ...)
|
||
|
* The language and culture your operating system is using.
|
||
|
* Attach a saved game *and* a screenshot if possible
|
||
|
* If this bug only occurred recently please note the last version without
|
||
|
the bug and the first version including the bug. That way we can fix it
|
||
|
quicker by looking at the changes made.
|
||
|
* Attach crash.dmp, crash.log and crash.sav. These files are usually created
|
||
|
next to your openrct2.cfg. The crash handler will tell you the location.
|
||
|
|
||
|
3.0) Supported platforms
|
||
|
---- -------------------
|
||
|
OpenRCT2 currently requires the original RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 binary. While
|
||
|
this is still the case, the only supported platform is Windows. OpenRCT2 can
|
||
|
still be played on other operating systems either via a virtual machine or a
|
||
|
compatibility layer application such as Wine. Further instructions can be found
|
||
|
on GitHub.
|
||
|
|
||
|
4.0) Installing and running OpenRCT2
|
||
|
---- ------------------------------
|
||
|
Installing OpenRCT2 is fairly straightforward. Either you have downloaded an
|
||
|
archive which you have to extract to a directory where you want OpenRCT2 to
|
||
|
be installed, or you have downloaded an installer, which will automatically
|
||
|
extract OpenRCT2 in the given directory.
|
||
|
|
||
|
OpenRCT2 requires an installation of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 (RCT2) to run. You
|
||
|
must have either installed the original RCT2 disc, the GOG version or the steam
|
||
|
version. Alternatively you can manually specify the location of where your RCT2
|
||
|
data files are. These may be directly copied of the original disc and placed in
|
||
|
a directory of your choice.
|
||
|
|
||
|
When you start OpenRCT2 for the first time, it will look for the RCT2 data files
|
||
|
in the following locations:
|
||
|
- C:\Program Files\Infogrames\RollerCoaster Tycoon 2",
|
||
|
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Infogrames\RollerCoaster Tycoon 2",
|
||
|
- C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive\RollerCoaster Tycoon 2",
|
||
|
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Infogrames Interactive\RollerCoaster Tycoon 2",
|
||
|
- C:\Program Files\Atari\RollerCoaster Tycoon 2",
|
||
|
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Atari\RollerCoaster Tycoon 2",
|
||
|
- C:\GOG Games\RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 Triple Thrill Pack"
|
||
|
|
||
|
If none of these locations are found, OpenRCT2 will ask you to manually specify
|
||
|
the directory. Alternatively after running OpenRCT2 for the first time, you can
|
||
|
edit openrct2.cfg in the OpenRCT2 sub directory of your documents folder to set
|
||
|
the RCT2 install path.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you are running Windows and have set a DPI scale, OpenRCT2 might look blury.
|
||
|
This is because OpenRCT2 currently uses the original RollerCoaster Tycoon 2
|
||
|
binary as a application host. However you can manually configure this binary to
|
||
|
not be scaled. This will make the game more crisp, but may result in the
|
||
|
interface being too small to see clearly and less ergonomic to use. To stop DPI
|
||
|
scaling, right click the binary itself (openrct2.exe) in the install directory
|
||
|
or the OpenRCT2 shortcut either in your start menu or on your desktop and then
|
||
|
select properties. Select the compatibility tab, check
|
||
|
"Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" and then click OK.
|
||
|
|
||
|
5.0) Development
|
||
|
---- -----------
|
||
|
OpenRCT2 is an open-source collaborative project. It is developed voluntarily
|
||
|
and hosted on GitHub. If you would like to contribute to the development of
|
||
|
OpenRCT2, please read the readme file in the OpenRCT2 repository or on the main
|
||
|
GitHub page at (https://github.com/IntelOrca/OpenRCT2). This gives more detailed
|
||
|
information about the project, its roadmap and how to compile the source code.
|
||
|
|
||
|
6.0) Translation
|
||
|
---- -----------
|
||
|
For more information about the game's translation and how to contribute, please
|
||
|
visit the GitHub page and wiki at (https://github.com/IntelOrca/OpenRCT2).
|
||
|
|
||
|
7.0) Troubleshooting
|
||
|
---- ---------------
|
||
|
If you are having problems running OpenRCT2, you can run OpenRCT2 in verbose
|
||
|
mode to view a detailed diagnostic log. This can be activated by running the
|
||
|
game via Command Prompt or PowerShell with the command line switch --verbose.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This log can help pinpoint where a problem exists and is a useful resource if
|
||
|
you wish to ask online for help.
|
||
|
|
||
