1. Make sure that your OpenRCT2 version is up-to-date. You need at least version 0.3.4 or a recent development version.
2. Go to the releases page.\ If your OpenRCT version is 0.4.4 or a recent development version, download the file openrct2-price-manager-1.1.2.js from the latest release. Otherwise, download the file openrct2-price-manager-1.1.1.js from the release "v1.1.1 Bugfix".\ Save it in the plugin subfolder of your OpenRCT2 user directory. On Windows, this is usually at C:Users\{User}\Documents\OpenRCT2\plugin.

Usage

The plug-in will start working without further ado. To open the settings window, click on "Price Manager" in the map menu in the upper toolbar of OpenRCT2. There you can fine-tune the behavior of the Price Manager or disable it altogether.

Multiplayer

The Price Manager works in multiplayer games if and only if the server has the plug-in installed. There is no need for the connecting clients to have the plug-in installed.\ Each user will be able to open the settings window, but you can restrict the right to change settings to admins.

Settings

• Enable automatic daily updates: Automatically updates the prices every in-game day.
• Enable ride price management: In scenarios where the guests are charged for each ride, the plug-in manages the prices for all rides and enables the following settings:
  • Make transport rides free: Charges nothing for any transport ride. This includes the Miniature Railway, the (Suspended) Monorail and the (Chair)Lift.
  • Enable 'Good Value' pricing: Charges only a quarter of the ride value, which makes the guests think that the ride has 'Good Value'.
  • Enable lazy tax: Reduces the ride prices by the given amount, to balance the vast advantage that the plug-in provides.
