Error Message - "original_dos"

Post by Aled D »

I downloaded OpenTTD for windows a couple of months ago and everything has been working fine. Now though it won't start. An error message appears which says "Failed to select requested graphics set 'original_dos'". Will I just have to install it again? By the way the version is 0.7.1 and I use windows vista.

well for a start you can get the latest stable - here

but you also need the original graphics from the Transport Tycoon game itself

probably shouldnt say this but if you hunt the internet for them they aren't too hard to find :lol:

I would have downloaded the new stable but I can't download right now, oh well I'm getting a laptop so I can wait a bit to download again. Thanks anyway!

Open openttd.cfg (readme.txt says where it is) and remove the line with original_dos.
