OpenTTD Guide

[Ondra_Kralik]

Hello my dear OpenTTD players. As of April 1. OpenTTD is also available on Steam. Which also means a lots of new players. But if you are starting from scratch OpenTTD can be very Hard to understand and play. So i made a text dokument which i think can teach an absolute Newbie to play the game at an Advanced tier. Also i am now working WITH!!!!! a coresponding Channels where i will be posting more detailed guides. This dokument is available in Czech and English language.
Here you have them.

Frankly introducing mods in the beginning is innovative but seems a bit odd to me.

I think a more conventional approach would be better for those not having played before, i.e. start from the basics. After the actual guide, explain the difference between TTD and OpenTTD, and after that introduce the mods. To balance the needs of different players (beginner / with TTD experience / experts), a statement of direction in the introduction should do.

The wiki already contains a game manual that's much more comprehensive and thought over. If you want to make a useful contribution, consider translating it to your language.

Good job.
If talking about mods/graphics, there should be screen how to use ingame online content, before description of some existing examples.
And maybe shift this chapter further.
First chapter should be about how to start game.
Beginner can play game without new graphics or even without AI.

BTW traffic lights are for cars, proper name for trains are signals.

Having a guide for beginners great idea, even some players who been playing for a while could benefit from it too.

I forgot about that .. might be an idea those who have topics put a reminder of that link in their forums as well. I shall put a link in my forums to help and maybe this topic as well.

Cheers
