Is anything else needed?

Compiling should be the same as regular OTTD. So here are the packages you need. They are all in the repository and can be installed automatically.

After dependencies are installed, you can simply compile it with:
cd path/of/the/unzipped/directory
./configure
make
sudo make install

(though I always run a "make bundle" and then just run the game from there)

That wiki page and this list of commands are out of date.
Upstream OpenTTD (and consequently, this branch) has moved to CMake.

I'd suggest following this document: https://github.com/JGRennison/OpenTTD-p ... MPILING.md

Thanks. I think. I've looked at your link, and quite honestly don't know where to begin.
I have ZERO experience with C++
I've never compiled anything before - don't know where to start - don't know what to use.
I've never used the shell in Linux.

Kruemelchens instructions looked simple. Yours, I'm afraid, do not.
So. bearing in mind I haven't yet installed Linux, so I can't look myself (I'll be going with a flavour of Ubuntu), do you know if all of the following (from your document) are available in the repository?


zlib: (de)compressing of old (0.3.0-1.0.5) savegames, content downloads, heightmaps
liblzo2: (de)compressing of old (pre 0.3.0) savegames
liblzma: (de)compressing of savegames (1.1.0 and later)
libpng: making screenshots and loading heightmaps
libfreetype: loading generic fonts and rendering them
libfontconfig: searching for fonts, resolving font names to actual fonts
libicu: handling of right-to-left scripts (e.g. Arabic and Persian) and natural sorting of strings (Linux only)
libSDL2: hardware access (video, sound, mouse) (not required for Windows or macOS)

And, is this the complete set of instructions for compiling:-

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

Because it doesn't look like it. How does it know what to compile?

Also, what compiler (from the repository) should I use? And how?
I really would like to learn how to do this myself, but need a head start. I really don't know where to begin.
I just need a clear, simple, up to date, step by step, set of instructions.

Pete.

sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake git
sudo apt-get build-dep openttd
git clone https://github.com/JGRennison/OpenTTD-patches.git jgrpp
cd jgrpp
git checkout jgrpp-0.35.1
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
./openttd

ino wrote: ↑26 Jul 2020 07:14 You don't need to do make bundle anymore: the build directory is the complete bundle. (Unless you want to build macOS .app, which I am not sure how to do other than make package and extract that from .dmg generated)

See screen shot, there is one more cargo off the bottom. (ignore the the undefined strings, this is a bug with another GRF).

It would be super helpful to have this as I am trying to recreate the UK as accurately as possible and regular town generation doesn't give the "neighborhoods" of similar buildings look that I want to achieve.

Thanks for any help!

This patch is already available in JGR Patch Pack. You have to use it from the Scenario Editor.

Basically all I need are object sets that can be placed through the landscape menu or a way to place buildings from sets such as total town renewal as though they were objects. I don't need the population, I just can't find a method of overcoming the restrictions nor have I found any houses as objects besides Auz houses
