Install
-------

To install, copy the contents of 'RCT3 Installation Directory' to your RCT3 Installation Directory. Do *not* extract to Style\Themed. 

Make sure your unpacker preserves the directory structure! If you are asked if you want to merge, say yes.

Use
---

Once installed, there are several ways of accessing the new carrieditems. You can:
* Build the special Make Your Own Balloon Set stall, found under the third stall category (it looks exactly like the generic stall, but you can't choose what to sell).s
* Build any generic or custom stall, and choose 'Make Your Own Balloon Set' when deciding what to sell.

Changing the Textures
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Creating your own textures is easy. You will need the Importer v18b2.

Before you start, extract the /Textures/ directory to a safe place.

1. Design your textures (you will need three of them for each custom balloon). I only tested 128x128 textures, I'm not sure if other square power of 2 sizes will work. Templates and examples can be found in your 'Textures' directory.
2. Place the textures in the Textures directory. They must be named as follows:

* 'balloonone' for the first balloon.
* 'balloontwo' for the second balloon.
* 'balloonthree' for the third balloon.

3. Open the 'Create OVL' window in the importer.
4. Open the 'Textures.xml' file from your 'textures' directory.
5. Click 'Create Scenery OVL'. You will get some message boxes, just click OK.
6. The importer will spit out two ovls in your textures directory. Copy these to RCT3dir\Style\Custom\Jdrowlands\MakeYourOwnBalloonSet\, making a backup of the current ones if you want to.
7. The new textures should be avaliable on the next start of RCT3.
