OpenTTD is a clone of the Microprose game "Transport Tycoon Deluxe," a popular
|
|
game originally written by Chris Sawyer. Significant enhancements from the
|
|
original game include bigger maps, new AI, stable multiplayer mode, dedicated
|
|
server mode, and many in-game updates.
|
|
|
|
Historically, users of OpenTTD needed access to several original Windows data
|
|
files in order to successfully run the game. However, now there are two
|
|
options:
|
|
|
|
1. Using open source data files.
|
|
|
|
There are now open source equivalent files for the graphics (opengfx), sound
|
|
(opensfx), and music (openmsx) data files. This script includes support for
|
|
these three extra downloads and will move the files into the right place so
|
|
long as OPENDATA=YES (which is the default).
|
|
|
|
2. Using the original Windows data files.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, the user can still use the original Windows data files. If the
|
|
original Windows data files are going to be used, then they must be copied into
|
|
the /usr/share/games/openttd/data directory before the game can be played.
|
|
List of the required files: sample.cat trg1r.grf trgcr.grf trghr.grf trgir.grf
|
|
trgtr.grf. Note that the user can either set OPENDATA=NO in which case the
|
|
open source data files will not be used by the script and OpenTTD. Or, the
|
|
user can keep OPENDATA=YES in which case the open source data files will be
|
|
included giving the user the ability to choose which data file set (original
|
|
Windows or open source data files) to use within the game options menu.
