@Jste84 that drop tower looks insane! Will any of the guests actually get on it? 😆

@hooperre here is my install script

@exarkuniv Seems to have built great! Should I put the RCT and RCT2 files in their respective folders in ports or do all the files need to be in the data folder?

ExarKunIv

@hooperre i cant remember, i think you put them in their each folder

i have been making so many scripts. i cant keep them straight right now.
i need to go back and double test them all again lol

hooperre

@exarkuniv Seems like the program is just looking for one directory.

Runs great! Thanks for your (and @quicksilver 's)work!

ExarKunIv

@hooperre im glad that it is working for you. make all the effort i put into it worth it.
taking a look at the config ini it is set to look for a rct1 folder for files from rct1,
with that said. i cant say putting everything in one folder will or will not work too

i will have to test that and change the script if needed.

thanks for testing it a little for me

@exarkuniv Only slight issue I'm running into is the display settings. If I change to fullscreen, on next boot resolution is larger, but is not centered and menus are off screen.

ExarKunIv

@hooperre i think you will need to mess with the display settings in the Retropie and in the game to make it work better

so when you start the game. press a so you can pick what resolution retropie will use.
it will be some trial and error to get it right i think.

hooperre

@exarkuniv Don't know why I didn't think to do that. Thanks!

ExarKunIv

@hooperre let me know if anything else comes up.
and i will switch to mess with that one more

When I compile I am getting an error

pi@retropie:~/OpenRCT2 $ cmake ../ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-Ofast -DNDEBUG -mcpu=cortex-a72"
CMake Error: The source directory "/home/pi" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.

@musicislife6984 said in Rollercoaster tycoon:

cmake ../ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-Ofast -DNDEBUG -mcpu=cortex-a72"

This should be

cmake .  -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-Ofast -DNDEBUG -mcpu=cortex-a72"

@mitu what does changing cmake ../ to cmake . do?

i have been using cmake ../ without a problem inn my script.

im learning which is why im asking

mitu

@exarkuniv When you run cmake, you'll have to point it at the folder containing the CMakeFiles.txt file. If you run it from the projects's source folder and you point to .., then cmake looks for the file in the parent folder (/home/pi) - but in the error above there's no such file there.
If you run it from a build subfolder inside the main project folder, then it's ok to point cmake to .., since this is where CMakeFiles.txt is located, i.e.

git clone <a_cmake_based_project>
cd <a_cmake_based_project>
mkdir build 
cd build
cmake .. <OTHER_CMAKE_ARGS>

ExarKunIv

@mitu ok. thank you for clearing that up.
taking a look at my script i was doing it right since i was running cmake inside of my build subfolder.

musicislife6984

Thanks I was able to get past that and now am getting

error "Unsupported version of nlohmann json library, must be >= 3.6"

ExarKunIv

@musicislife6984 did you install all of the dependencies that quicksilver has.

and it just might be easier to just use the script i have made to do all the work for you. it is a few posts above

musicislife6984

@exarkuniv How do I execute your script?

ExarKunIv

@musicislife6984

run

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Exarkuniv/-RollerCoaster-Tycoon-2-port/Master/openrct.sh -P $HOME/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports/

in the command line, after that you just need to find openrct in the experimental list within the RetroPie setup menu

like you would to install anything extra
