Temporary fix for Peeps not riding

If you want your peeps to actually ride your rides try this.
Browse to this folder: C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_USER_NAME\Application Data\Atari\RCT3 and open the Options.txt. (note: this folder is "hidden" by default, so you will have to enable Windows to view hidden files and folders)

Then add the following lines to the Options.txt:

GuestsHaveFixedHealth 1
GuestsIgnoreRideIntensity 1
GuestsIgnoreRideNausea 1
GuestsIgnoreRideCost 1
GuestsRevisitRides 1
GuestsRideUnratedRides 1

This will pretty much make every gues ride every ride. You can experiment with the settings to find a balance that works for you. I think the GuestsRevisitRides is set to 0 by default resulting in no re-rides.

You do need to re-start your scenario for the changes to work. they won't work on a previously saved game :(

Anyway, thought someone might find this usefull as it helped me get through the scenarios.

Hopefully tomorrows patch will resolve this issue for good. *** Edited 11/2/2004 8:14:32 PM UTC by Downhill Screamer***

I remember several parks built in rct2 where some guests would ride the same big coaster over and over like 10 times until they were desperately hungry or thirsty.

I thought that was fairly realistic (I do it!) so don't know why they changed people re-riding rides.

Looks like the text you put in the options file which look binary using 1 and 0 , sounds really helpfull!

You are correct on your comment, it does work and it does work on saved games when you load them after placing the text intothe folder.

O, and for you Windows XP users, if you DO NOT have more than one user listed on your comp you must open the file OWNER where he says to open YOUR_USER_NAME.

Took me about a min to figure that out. I hate Windows XP (short for Windows **** Me).
