Description
OS: GNU/Linux
Version: 0.2.1
Commit/Build: 0.2.1
- Reproducible in RCT2 (vanilla)?
- Specific to multiplayer?
Steps to reproduce:
- Play any “no money” scenario
- Try to figure out which special building rights you have
- Fail
Description
In a “no money” scenario, it's impossible to see your building rights (if you have any) because the land button in the park window has disappeared.
AFAIK the only way to make your special building rights visible (and highlight the land you currently own) is by opening the land buying window from the park window.
Possible fixes
I can think of two possible ways to fix this:
- In the view options menu, add a new menu item named “Highlight owned land / building rights”. When activated, all your land and build rights will be highlighted as if the “buy land” window would be open.
- Always display the “buy land” button, even in “no money” scenarios
Implementing either of these will guarantee that players can always see their owned land and building rights regardless of scenario.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in a GNU/Linux 0.2.1 no-money scenario, then trace the park window's land button and the view options menu. Compare the available paths for showing owned land and special building rights. Done means players can highlight their owned land and building rights without needing money, with the behavior covered by an appropriate test or manual verification.
