Noob Question re where to download and install game scripts

Post by AndrewCarnegie »

sorry for this Noob question, but I did a search using the Search query for game scripts and file folders, and didn't really find what i'm looking for, so here goes

1st, where does a player download game scripts?
2nd, to what file in the OpenTTD folder does one save the extracted game script (s) ?
3rd, finally, how does one then use those game scripts to say create a game with either a city builder goal, or a cargo goal? or just introducing A.I. players?

thanks much -- great game, lots and lots to learn

1. From this main menu, select AI/Game Script Settings.
2. In that window, click Check Online Content.
3. Select any game scripts that look interesting, and click Download.
4. This will install the scripts to the correct place - no need to mess around with the files manually.
5. Back on the AI/Game script configuration window, Where "Game Script (none)" is showing, click on "(none)" then click "Select Game..." button.
6. Select any game script you want to use for the next game, and click Accept.
7. Optionally, you can check out the script's configuration, readme, changelog and license. Once you're done, click Close.
8. Back in the main menu, start a new game - the game script you just chose will now be running.
