Mixmaster Pre-Made Fireworks Displays Not Available

[Lissi]

I love the Tycoon games. I haven't played this one, so I went to the tutorial to try to learn how to play it, since it is so different from 1 and 2. The Fireworks display tutorial (the one I really need the most help with) says to load a pre-made mixmaster file, but the file is empty. I see that this is an issue, and I see that there was at least one topic leading to a pirates bay torrent for the displays, but there is no one seeding it. Can anyone help me with this? I really want the pre-made shows, at least until I get a feel for the game so I can make my own. I can't even figure out how to save a blank show like another topic says.

To my knowledge, the game never shipped with pre-made shows. There are tutorials, in-game and on youtube, that can help you create your own.

Alternativly, you can download user created shows from: http://rctgo.com/downloads/pyro

Thank you for that link! It's a great alternative to having to try to make them all myself until I know what I am doing. =)

Weird. In my RCT3 steam download it was bundled with the displays. If you go to the mix master module and click the load folder icon, do you have any shows there? From memory, I remember I had 4 or 5.

Maybe you guys can help me with this. I've gone to rtcgo.com and downloaded the "greatest fireworks pack ever." The readme says to put it in the rtc3/fireworks folder. I have put the folders in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 Gold\Fireworks and C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 Gold\FireworkDisplays and neither of these showed anything in the mixmaster. So, I took everything out of the folders that were downloaded, and put them into those two files. Still nothing was in the load file. Is there a different location that Steam has put this game that will load these files?

Thanks for your help!

Hello,

It may depend also on the Windows version you're running the game under.
You may need to copy the fireworks file(s) to: "C:\Users\<Your Username>\Documents\RCT3\Fireworks". Replace <Your Username> with... umm... your Windows LogIn User Name.

Also, in the game's Fireworks folder, there are several .frw files. Copying these in the above location still didn't work for me, so I had to download a fireworks show from here: http://rctgo.com/downloads/pyro (Thanks, Bobdamek!). The downloaded file had the extension .fwd.

This thread also helped me into discovering the above mentioned path, it may help you with your issue: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=698790

Hope it helps, it worked for me.
Enjoy the fireworks show! :)
