Multiple copies of OTTD on the same PC

Post by saus »

How do I install multiple copies of OTTD on the same PC?
I do like to play different maps with different settings. For example I play original TTD scenarios with function "build on slopes" off. For tiny maps 64x64 (I love tiny maps very much ;) ) I switch it on.
For now I replace "openttd.cfg" file. Problem is - all OTTD copies use the same "openttd.cfg". How do I tell to OTTD which copy of "openttd.cfg" to use.
Thanks

Put openttd.cfg in the same folder as openttd.exe

alternatively, you can make (desktop) links, and specify the "-c <filename>" option to select which cfg file to use. this allows using the same installation, and sharing newgrf files etc.
