CAN OPENTTD BE ADDED FOR CHROMEBOOKS?
I just bought a chromebook. I would be happy if there were openttd for chromebook. I tried to download some files but it didnt work. I searched for it in chrome webstore but couldn't find anything.
I love the game and i hope you can add it on chromebook.

For just a very general basic stab in the dark, from a user account (not root account), open a command line window and type "sudo apt-get install OpenTTD". That should get you a Linux binary that will run on your system.
If you're receiving errors, then post those error messages, along with the Chromebook model and OS/version you're running.

I don't think Chromebooks work that way, at least not out of the box. (You can install regular Linux, though.) Have you tried the "Linux generic binaries"? If those don't work, there's always in-browser OpenTTD, although it's slow and out of date.

Sell the Chromebook and get a Computer instead. A Chromebook is NOT a Computer. Its a lie. Just like the cake.
Merry Christmas.

I'm truly taking a stab in the dark, just researching on Google. It looks like options depend on which brand/model of Chromebook you have.oberhümer wrote:I don't think Chromebooks work that way, at least not out of the box. (You can install regular Linux, though.)

Re: CAN OPENTTD BE ADDED FOR CHROMEBOOKS?
Or, hey, I just saw this come up on Lifehacker, and I saw it as a suggestion in a few other threads but didn't know what it was.
Solution: enable "Developer Mode" on Chrome, install the Crouton extension, and then install any flavor of Linux you like inside that, and then install OpenTTD.

I was thinking if they could add it on Chrome web store. There are a lot of apps.

No. Your Chromebook basically runs a web browser and nothing else. OpenTTD is not a web-based game.
He's like, some kind of OpenTTD developer.

It is OpenTTD version 1.2.3, using an illegal copy of the original TTD graphics, sound and music.

PS: What the heck is this restriction to maximal 3 nested quotes?
OpenTTD is per se able to act as a browser game? Or is this the part, where the counterpart of mostly comes into game?planetmaker wrote:It actually mostly is.Auge wrote: This. Is. Not. OpenTTD.

Re: CAN OPENTTD BE ADDED FOR CHROMEBOOKS?
The restriction is so that ridiculously long blocks of text are not simply reprinted again. Three nested quotes should be quite enough to get the gist of the previous conversation in question.
No, OpenTTD itself is not a browser game. There are web-based scripting program which can take any binary, such as OpenTTD, and enable them to run in browsers. Typically either using Java or JavaScript, both of which typically introduce some lag, albeit acceptable in many cases.
The "mostly" was in regards to whether or not the particular website previously mentioned was actually running OpenTTD. See my previous comment for that answer.
