To test the script I recommend very few existing cities after start game, at least 1 city.

Openttd.cfg for 1 town:

[difficulty]
number_towns = 4

[game_creation]
custom_town_number = 1

Nice to see a game script which actually founds towns for you. Turns out to be useful when you start with hardly any towns and want to add more without splurging out money. I actually found a bug when playing with this script. It looks like it doesn't support save/load:

I've taken the "save" feature from the MinimalGS project. I did not test it, but I'll look at it.

[agentw4b]

This is probably because I blocked unused features before releasing and I mistakenly blocked the Log function from the "Superlib" library.

on line 5 in the main.nut:

"// Log <- SuperLib.Log;"

I will try to unblock it and continue to test it.

Fixed, Version 2 released

I try this even with 1 city to found, it just makes my game load continuously and letting me not play

[agentw4b]

I do not understand your problem. This script is funkcional. I use it.

Set "Viewport of the new cities?": off .
