Hi!

In the scenario editor, is there a way to own all of the land on a park map
without having to individually select blocks of land? Any help would be greatly
appreciated!

When clicking on the grid, increase the size from one to several in the
window using the + key.

Hope this helps.

Not really, it takes in general about 30 minutes (with taking breaks) to own
all land on a 256x256 sized park. Make sure that when you own all the land
on the largest park, you save it as a template, by saving the landscape as
say 256x256all.SC6, in the landscape folder, then when you want to start a
new park with all land, just open that file, then save it with a different
name and work on that differently named file as your new park. I was
extremely frustrated by having to keep owning all the land each time. Its
also easier if you zoom all the way out, but it does leave cleanup work
since it generally doesnt get every area unless your really moving your
mouse slow across the landscape when owning all.

Also, you can resize it once you own all the land to whatever size you want,
well.... Smaller size anyway, it crops from the bottom left I believe.

Yes, when you are in the mini map, there is the diamond on the left
side of the window. Click on this, then like the land tool, maximize
the tool to it's full amount. Since you are working with a blank
piece of land, just mark out with the tool (click and drag) the amount
of Owned Land you want. You do the same for the others by check
marking their little boxes. When you have all the land owned, except
where your entrance is, it will have the white fence around it.

Thanks for the tip. Knowing me I would start buying land again from scratch!

30 Minutes!!!
WOW!!!
I can usually do it in under 5.
Increase the base size to max.
Zoom all the way out.
Increase your 'buy square' to max5x5 or 6x6
Click and Hold and then "paint" your landscape.
My C-633 will catch everything up to quick jerks back and forth with the
mouse and even then I get spot coverage.

I dont know why mine doesn't. It catches most with fast jerks, but still
leaves some thing left for spot touchups. My Comp is only an AMD Athalon
1800xp with 384mb of ram, so it might be the small amount of memory that
causes it.

But in general, RCT2 doesnt run all that well on my computer if it's been on
a while and running many other programs first. If this happens then the
rides get really jerky, so must just be my computer.

I have the same problem, but I think it is XP that is causing it.
Even though I don't have a home network, XP (and Mr. Gate's wisdom)
won't all me to shut off whatever SYSTEM files that are out there just
idling. They are still in memory, but they aren't doing
anything...should be able to turn them off wihtout crashing the whole
thing.

BTW, I am running an Intel 1.8 GHz, 786 MB ram, 32 MB video card.

I have a jerkiness problem on my PIII, 650MHz machine. I found that if
I turn off my firewall, then the jerkiness goes away. Any background
task that does periodic running will cause jerkiness in a real time
game.
