   RCTPatch Cheats
   ______________________________________________________________________
                                                                         
                              Cheat Disclaimer
                                      
   These cheats allow RCT to do things it normally wouldn't be able to
   do. They may lead to unstable or unpredictable behaviour. If you use
   them, you're on your own. Please don't contact Hasbro's technical
   support about problems when using these cheats.
   
   To use this, you need to have [20]Cheatfinder (or some other cheat
   utility that allows you to cheat in a variety of games). These
   instructions are for version 1.0 of Cheatfinder. I recommend
   downloading this version, it's free anyways.
   
   If anybody wants to include this in a trainer, feel free to do so as
   long as you give me credit for it.
   
                                Train Patch
                                      
   Due to popular demand, I have made a program which will automatically
   enable or disable the 12 train patch.
   
   Download it now: [21]rcttrains.exe (12KB)
   
   This is RCTTrains version Apr 25 2000 00:43:19.
   
   To use it, simply run it, and it will ask you whether you want to
   enable/disable the 12 train patch.
   
   Please note: This patch will not work with Loopy Landscapes, and games
   saved with too many trains will crash Loopy Landscapes, no matter
   whether you use RCTPatch or not!
   
   The following sections are still correct if you can't or don't want to
   use my new program.
   
                           Activating the Cheats
                                      
   First you need to get the preference files for Cheatfinder, which
   makes it easier to activate these cheats. They are in a .zip file
   which you should unzip into your RCT directory. You can use the free
   [22]InfoZip tools or [23]WinZip to unzip the archive.
   
   Get it now: [24]rct_cht.zip (2KB), it also has a text copy of the
   following instructions.
   
   To use it (after unzipping), follow these simple steps:
    1. Load RollerCoaster Tycoon
    2. Select the "About 'RollerCoaster Tycoon'" Menu item from the disk
       menu
    3. The first line has the version number as "1.10.xxx", where xxx is
       your version. Write this number down.
    4. Put RCT in the background by pressing Alt-Esc
    5. Start CheatFinder (MUST be version 1.0)
    6. Double-click on "RollerCoaster Tycoon" in the "Active windows"
       list
    7. Select "Load PRF"
    8. Load the PRF file corresponding to your version, i.e. if you have
       Corkscrew Follies version 1.10.019, load the cf_019.prf file.
    9. Click on search bar
   10. For each of the lines corresponding to the cheat you wish to
       activate, click on "Change", verify that the old value is correct
       (if it isn't you've loaded the wrong PRF file!), enter the new
       value in the dialog, and press OK.
   11. Quit Cheatfinder and go back to RCT
   12. Enjoy!
       
   Cheat Name Old Value New Value
   Entrance
   Path PATH1 311* 0
   PATH2 210* 0
   PATH3 183* 0
   PATH4 20096 18118
   12 Trains TRAIN1 23690 32691
   TRAIN2 13881 37008
   
   * These might be different. As long as the value is smaller than 500
   it might still be correct.
   
   Caveats:
          If your RCT executable isn't RCT.EXE (e.g. you've renamed it to
          something else), you won't be able to load the PRF files. In
          that case just rename the executable back to RCT.EXE
          Also, these cheats work only for the Corkscrew Follies version
          of the add-on, because I don't know the addresses for versions
          other than mine. If you have found them for some other version,
          please [25]let me know!
          
                        Modifying the entrance path
                                      
What it does:

   It is possible to modify the path leading to your park entrance! That
   way you can make it look more beautiful, add benches and lamps or
   jumping fountains for example. Not that the guests take note of that,
   but it just looks so much better if you can integrate the path with
   your theming.
   
   When you've activated this cheat, you can buy land or the
   constructions rights for any square. So what you do is you buy the
   path leading to the entrance. Then you can build any kind of path to
   your entrance, only the starting point and ending points have to be
   the same. And you can put lamps, garbage bins, banks, whatever you
   want, on that path.
   
   Once you are done, buy the construction right for the path. This will
   allow the peeps to walk on it again. They cannot walk on a path you
   own. Note that you will keep buying the rights for as long as you
   press the mouse button, so only press it very shortly, to make sure
   you don't lose more money than necessary.
   
   The possibility to buy land and construction rights that way will
   remain active until you exit from RCT, the changes in the savegame are
   permanent.
   
How to do it:

   If you can't use the [26]preference files for some reason, you need to
   load [27]Cheatfinder and change the following things:
   
   Version Address Value that should be there Change this to this
   CF 1.10.016
   CF 1.10.019
   CF 1.10.021 42746b
   42746f
   42746f 0f 84 xx xx 00 00 f6 c3 01 74 31 80 4e 07 20 xx xx 00 00
   CF 1.10.016
   CF 1.10.019
   CF 1.10.021 4274f4
   4274f8
   4274f8 0f 85 xx xx 00 00 f6 c2 40 0f 84 xx xx 00 00 f6 c3 01 74 1d 80
   4e 07 10 xx xx
   (both) 00 00
   80 4e c6 46
   
   "xx xx" can be anything, it doesn't matter what the actual value is.
   These offsets are for the Corkscrew Follies (American) version. If you
   have another version, you can look around to find the offset. You can
   also search for the 32bit value "4e803174", which will point to the
   end of the first string, go back a few bytes and there you are. If you
   know the address for a different version, I'd be glad to hear about it
   so I can post the address for other versions too.
   
                                More Trains
                                      
What it does:

   It's possible to have more trains than fit in the shortest station.
   This is useful for very long coasters with more than one station, or
   for non-crashing rides, like the transport and water rides. If you
   have a monorail going through your whole park, you won't be able to
   have enough trains to provide good and frequent service. With this
   cheat, you can have up to 12 trains of full length. This is probably
   going to be too much even for the longest ride...
   
   One problem if you use this, it is easy to get crashes with coasters
   if you don't set the timing right. If a coaster train arrives at a
   station where another train is not fully in the station, it will crash
   because it can't brake. To avoid this, you have to make full use of
   the minimum and maximum wait time, and turn on "Leave if another train
   arrives at station". Or you could add brakes before the station if the
   coaster has that feature. You still may get the odd crash if you have
   too many trains, so save often...
   
   But this way it's really easy to have a coaster that can serve more
   than 10,000 peeps an hour, if it's very long with all four stations. I
   have one coaster transporting guests around the park with 4x2 minutes
   ride time, and use six full length trains on it. Without crash so far.
   
How to do it:

   Without the preference files, load [28]Cheatfinder again, and follow
   this table:
   
   Version Address Value that should be there Change this to this
   CF 1.10.016
   CF 1.10.019
   CF 1.10.021 6d2e43
   6d2f69
   6d2f98 3a 5c 39 36 76 04 8a 5c 39 36 8a 5c 39 36 b3 7f 90 90
   
   Just like the other cheat, these changes remain active until you exit
   from RCT, while changes in the savegames are permanent (until you
   change the number of trains again).
   
                                  Trainers
                                      
   Here is a list of trainers that work with AA/CF:
     * [29]Techno Trainer
     * [30]Henry Winkelstein's Trainer
     * [31]Omega's Trainer
