How to play

  1. Launch Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 from Steam once, then close it. It will likely ask you to install
    Direct Play, which you want to do.
  2. Download the zip below and unzip it anywhere you like. Your Downloads folder is fine.
  3. Start your screen reader.
  4. Run openrct2.exe from the folder you unzipped.

That is the whole procedure. You do not need to install OpenRCT2 first - this download is a
complete copy of the game with the mod built into it - and the steps are the same whether or not you
already have it.

To remove it, delete the folder.

Changes in 1.0.2

  • Fixed combo boxes not working properly. Left and right arrows now open a combo box's list the
    same way Enter does, instead of jumping you to a different tab, and the list stays open long
    enough to move through it. This affected every combo box in the game: Options, Cheats, Staff, the
    ride window, multiplayer groups and the rest.
  • Fixed some other menu bugs. Checkboxes in the Cheats window announced the state they had
    before you pressed Enter rather than the new one. Left and right arrows on a checkbox or button no
    longer move you to another tab. Cheats now says "slider" for its number controls, matching the
    other windows.
  • More of the toolbar's Cheats menu now works. Enable sandbox mode, Disable clearance checks and
    Disable support limits now say whether they turned on or off, so you can tell they did something.

Known gap: Tile inspector, Object selection, Inventions list and Scenario options - all reachable
from the toolbar's Cheats menu - still have no keyboard or speech support. They open, but cannot be
read or navigated.

Requirements

  • Windows.
  • A screen reader. The mod speaks through Prism, which hands its speech to whichever reader you
    already run, so NVDA, JAWS, Narrator, System Access, ZDSR and others all work. NVDA is free and is
    the one the mod is developed and tested against.
  • Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 from Steam.

Nothing else. OpenRCT2 itself is included.
