Ask the Experts / Can anyone send me Parkdat and Datchecker?

you still get the same error?
in that case did you take the full folder I send and placed it somewhere else and didn't overwrite anything in that map?
also remove the rct2lib.dll from the system32 folder first.

Yes I'm still getting the same error.

The folder is on my desktop, and I don't believe I overwrote anything. I'm not sure what you mean by "map".

I did remove the rct2lib.dll from system32, tried to run ParkDat, and I'm still getting the same error.

sorry. map = folder (dutch)

search your computer for any parkdat related files (like rct2lib.dll etc) and remove all of them.
then download the one I provided again and place it somewhere (make sure you extract it). than see if that works.

It doesn't work. Is there a trick of where you have rct2.exe and/or the SV6's?

Again, I really appreciate your help on this. I might just have to bite the bullet and redo my bench, but f*ck I spent 8 hours on one coaster alone.

lets start from scratch. what is the main problem you have (why you wanted parkdat and datchecker)?

he just has the wrong dll, or it got damaged. and most likely there's a copy of the wrong one in one of the windows folders like system or system32 where it looks first before the actual parkdat folder on his desktop where supposedly the "good" dll is in.

here is my parkdat. it has all the dlls, too. give it a try, maybe it works.

and if you can, like levis suggested, try to remove the rct2lib.dll wherever you can find it. it can stay in your old parkdat folder though.

Levis - the reason I want ParkDat is because I'm working on a park. I spent about 25 hours on several coasters, and then realized I messed up my bench and I need to get other OBJDATs in the SV6, while removing others (duplicates, things I don't want, etc.)

Posix - I searched for rct2lib.dll and it was only in the ParkDat folder Levis sent me. I deleted that one and installed the one you uploaded, but it still doesn't work.

Thanks again guys for your help.

well then if parkdat doesn't work you could always use DImport. its a less advanced tool but it still works. if you want it I could upload it here. or just google it, you will probally find it (with a tutorial if your lucky).

@ po6 -> well it seems all his files are correct cause this are the once I use also and it works for me. but win98 maybe need different things.

po6 haha.

how is it pronounced? if it matters

ive always read it as pozix
with soft S...


anyway, congrats RC on using the best operating system since the dawn of time, and i hope you sort your problems out soon.

Yeah DIMport is great if you have free slots, which I don't. It won't allow you to switch out DATs. Ugh.

SSSammy, well I actually like win 98 as opposed to XP or CrapVista, but it's doing me wrong now.

I have noticed one thing. JA's Thin Model Giga trains, the LIM one, will cause an error trapper upon opening. Even in game. Most of the SV6s I've downloaded from this site include that train, and it won't open those either. WTF is up with that?

well then I think you have a corrupt object. and that causes the error.
could be it exported wrong one time and now gives this error every time.
my sugestion. remove all custom scenery from your obj data folder to a backup folder (if you sort them on date you will see which ones are custom). then open some parks which have the plugin enabled.
then see if some can be opend by parkdat. if this does work its in your objects and maybe you could use the datchecker to see which ones are corrupted. else you have to do it manually bu moving them back (in groups) and see which ones cause errors.
btw if you open a game with DImport and go to the slot you want to replace and select load dat it should overwrite that slot (at least in v1.02 I believe it does)
