hey,

I'm a big ttd fan played it years. now I'm getting into linux.
I can't find any more help about installing openttd. I copied the win files and did make && make install
the game installs but I can't start it.
./ttd is the start file right?
it says no available language packs

you need to have a lng file in your OTTD dir
during compileing, there are one compiled in the lang folder. If you want a different language, use this command in the trunk dir (same as the one with the makefile)

strgen/strgen lang/german.txt
replace german with the language you want

since i'm german, i take that one thx...
but there only exists an english.lng
with that file cp in the ottd folder I get a new error

ttd: spritecache.c:224: LoadGrfIndexed: Assertion `b' failed.
Aborted

luckt guess



you need to copy the grf files as well. They are in the data folder and you don't have to compile them, just move/copy them

I did copy the grf files into my ttd folder
there are five of them I also copied the sample.cat and the gm folder
what else could be wrong?

You also need the canalsw.grf, openttd.grf and signalsw.grf, which are in (path to openttd source)/data/

thank you for your help

I've seen people running this game on bigger resolutions than 640 x 480
how can I change it e.g. 1024 x 768

Go to "Game options" -> "Screen Resolution".
If that doesn't work (I don't know the Linux version), try starting it with "-r 1024x768".

never mind I found the option
thx anyway

I run the game in a window and then stretch it to a comfortable size...
that's the best thing about the resolutions =]

I do have a new problem.
everytime I quit ttd and want to restart it the language pack error comes up again, then I need to create the german.lng new and copy it into the main folder...
why is that?

Strange... My english.lng doesn't disappear.
