Thought I'd start a new thread for this, as we don't have one.

http://www.openttd.org

Firstly, OpenTTD is a complete rewrite of the original Transport Tycoon Deluxe, making it full compatible with many OSes. It also allowed a lot of new features to be added, most notibley a full online multiplayer, but also compatibility with GRF packs, that change the ingame graphics and change available vehicles, etc. Other improvements like more advanced signalling, easier track layout and improved order systems have also been implimented, along with many other things that I can't list here.

They recently released 0.6.0B4, but I haven't tried that, instead I'm running a nightly with a patchpack, which introduces many new features, but I haven't tested it properly.

Anyone got a quick link for the original TTD files?

XD

I dont need them, but someone who wants to play does

Cheers Simon, I thought it was sourceforge XD

Kinda illegal, but also a gray area. Don't see why you couldn't have just sent your ones across...

Once I've generated a nice map to play on (I keep making unappealing maps :/), I'm going to try out the patch pack I've got, and maybe create a diary on it. If someone feels like making a nice map with challenging terrain and decently spaced towns, feel free.

I have to say Skillers some of those patches from before were good, although having so many vehicles got a little confusing at times.

Oh, those were actually graphics. I have compiled a version of OpenTTD with this patchpack applied to r12180 using BuildOTTD. Basically, the patches add more features to the games, such as a new signalling type and passenger destinations (see first link for more details).

1 YEAR NECRO TIME!

0.7 has been released, some very nice changes, such as PBS. Check it out!

1 year necro? lolololololololol.

The best kind of necro.

I wouldn't mind a game of this at some time, actually.

I have it, but I haven't played it at all.

It's awesome. We should do another MP session at some point.

Just message me beforehand.

Also, it's 1 year 1 month necro lolololol

Well you know I'm up for playing it at pretty much any time.

The new version is very good!

Some pics of my stuff in today game;

The sawmill has all the forests on the map attached and produces 2.5K crates of goods a month.

I'm making 30mil/year, 12mil from my trains (rest from planes).

My company value is about 1/2bil.

I'd been playing 45 years.

There are around 120 trains, about 100 on the wood route (I tried doing PAX earlier, they don't work too well).

Have you acquired different icons or am I just not up to date?

terror corp.

I use the OpenGFX pack instead of the default, check the online content.

I went back on today, upgraded to maglev and increased the capacity.

is it too late for me to download and join your game and add a single crappy bus?

Nope

Update since last;

I now have 6 lines in each direction. About 190 trains. Making 12k of goods. My sawmill station has 41 platforms.

EDIT:

Did a few more track tweaks and pushed it up to 200 trains where necessary. 70 trains are goods trains. 111 are wood trains. The remaining 19 are PAX trains from my PAX start line, which was a relative failure.

Have a screenshot.

so is the link for download still valid?

THe problem might be when you get the game, you will have to decide whether or not you want to join PIraticle inc. or one of the other BAy gay companies

Si Started stelaing my Oil ¬_¬
