I proudly present to you OpenTTD!

Post by **orudge** » 06 Mar 2004 19:26

I did write a nice long description here, but IE/the forum/something went and barfed it.

Basically, a guy called Ludde (original author of ScummVM) has spent quite some time working on a C reconstruction of TTD. He's now let me release the code. So here it is.

It is 95% complete. I'm not writing everything I wrote here before again, so just play with it and see what it's like. I've registered a SourceForge project for it. To play the game, copy the Windows TTD graphics and sample.cat file to the compact directory, and run ttd.exe.

I suppose you want the URL too: http://openttd.tt-forums.net/. Wait at least a minute after this post was made before downloading it, as I've not finished uploading it yet.

Have fun!

if he made scummVM, does that mean OpenTTD also works on Linux??

and you've actually created 2 new categories in one day!

(make a zetorpedia cat and it'll be three! (no s***!))

Use the original TTD Windows trg1r.grf without modifications

That's the only reason I've had a crash so far.

(and guest posting, Owen

)

Nicusors · Post by **Nicusors** » 06 Mar 2004 20:56

Correct !!!

Thanks!

Bart · Post by **Bart** » 06 Mar 2004 21:23

Wow, s***... this is big...

This is actually better then releasing the original source... even I can dig through this and alter/add things...

Wow...

Animating water in windowed mode

This is neat, but how about other clone projects, or even TTDPatch???

Arathorn · Post by **Arathorn** » 06 Mar 2004 21:25

You can animate the water with the patch too.

GoneWacko · Post by **GoneWacko** » 06 Mar 2004 21:28

I still prefer TTU...

I hope they will go on with the project. TTU = C++, a language I am better at than C

Post by **orudge** » 06 Mar 2004 22:55

By the way:

Code: Select all

Command line options:
  -v drv = Set video driver (see below)
  -s drv = Set sound driver (see below)
  -m drv = Set music driver (see below)
  -8     = Use 800x600 resolution
  -1     = Use 1024x768 resolution
  -h     = Display this help text
  -l 1-4 = Use this landscape
  -e     = Start Editor
List of video drivers:
      null: Null Video Driver
       sdl: SDL Video Driver
     win32: Win32 GDI Video Driver
List of sound drivers:
      null: Null Sound Driver
       sdl: SDL Sound Driver
     win32: Win32 WaveOut Driver
List of music drivers:
      null: Null Music Driver
     win32: Win32 MIDI Driver

(this is correct for Win32 - different drivers for Linux, etc)

Honestly speaking, after a while of playing it, it seems to me that this clone is so unbelievably close to the original TTD that I really can't understand how it is possible for someone to program it. I mean, everything is absolutely correct! No one can find out how every detail is handled in TTD to program such a good clone without having Sawyer's source code. Has Ludde hacked Atari's or Sawyer's PC??? IS THIS TTD???

Bart · Post by **Bart** » 06 Mar 2004 23:39

Yeah, I noticed it too, there are no flaws... just perfect. But so what? It's cool, the source code is there, it can run on Windows, Linux and well, Mac users will be able to play it as well (?)

Let's just see how far this will go...

Well, if you had enough time and dedication, you could create a replacement for Windows or anything really that was exactly the same. All the source code is there, in a very raw form. Ludde just made it more usable, with a LOT of work.

Born Acorn · Post by **Born Acorn** » 06 Mar 2004 23:46

we will just have to make sure his hard work was not in vain

I propose for this et we have more climates, including different temperates, OTT temperate (British), european temperate/alpine(germany, france, switzerland etc) and america, with the amrican set.

That is of course, if we can integrate the new graphics we have into the game

sfrankland · Post by **sfrankland** » 06 Mar 2004 23:47

I keep getting a message each time I run it saying unable to read english.lng. What is the proper install method for Open TTD.

SirkoZ · Post by **SirkoZ** » 06 Mar 2004 23:56

It is just FANTASTIC!!!!
It runs really smoothly and scales very well with CPU, better than orig. TTD - really smooth.

Keep up the good work and thank you!!!

well, this proj has attracted new people!

GoneWacko · Post by **GoneWacko** » 07 Mar 2004 00:14

Okay...

I like it now that I see the resolution

Would be nice to have a full-screen high resolution option thingie too though...

I'm on 1260x1024, you see... 1024x768 is still too small for me, and I'm sure 1600x1200 people think the same...

pretty cool though

Is it possible to decompile the assambly code in a way which allows you to understand what's going on? I mean, that would justify OpenTTD's similarity to TTD.

Born Acorn · Post by **Born Acorn** » 07 Mar 2004 00:16

just imagine the possibilities!

we might actually be able to have zepplins and vehicles without rotors!

Post by **orudge** » 07 Mar 2004 00:18

GoneWacko: Press ALT+ENTER for fullscreen mode. If you want different resolutions, just modify the source code.
