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.
