Well i cant star ttdp - no cd (help) (Found out of it)

[seawar ass ttd player]

How can i avoid, that my computer says, Unable to access Transport Tycoon Deluxe Cd!$?


This is a big problem for me, cause i dont have the cd.




Another problem is that i cant find the newgrf files - anyone who can help me here?

Most problems can be solved by studying the Manual, in this case this part.

About the newgrfs, you can find those in the crawler.

That is just something i dont understand - you need to turn on the Windows 2000/XP patches - what does that mean, and where do i do it, im not english, and not so(!) good at english

But thanks for it

Now i now where they are, but i think i did the question wrong, the places, where i have them i my computer, to turn them on and off, <- thats where the problem is - i cant find that place

[ISA]

Download Patch (windows version I assume?) and extract it into ttd main folder and run ttdpatch.exe. Try again!
Ohh and check this CDpatch row in ttdpatc.cfg too! Ttdpatch.cfg is in ttd main folder.. You can crate it if you run ttdpatch.exe once

If you did run ttdpatchw.exe at least once, a file named ttpatch.cfg is created in your ttd folder.
Open this with notepad and look for win2k. This should read : win2k on.

You have to create a folder named newgrf inside your TTD folder.
All the newgrf files you want go in there.
Then you create a new text file, name it newgrfw.cfg and you put each newgrf file you want activated in TTDpatch in there like this :

newgrf/file1w.grf
newgrf/file2w.grf
newgrf/file3w.grf

You don't must to write win2k! Its in your ttdpatch.cfg what is in ttd main folder open it with notepad and at the end is switch win2k. If there is off after win2k then replace off word with on (That ON You must write) word!

yea i understand

EDIT: still doesn't work

It stands like this

// `win2k' (no command line switch) sets the CD path.
win2k on

is that correct?

This is what your TTDPatch.cfg should look like if you have a nightly (the beta is only slightly different). If ttd still doesn't work, you probably haven't installed it properly (the patch or the game).

[seawar ass ttd player]

Yes it is what it says - if one of them isnt installed probrably, how can i find out which on it is?

[Rob]

I suggest you try this guide to install the Patch.

well now i've used it, and followed it - but i still cant open it...

Great, I'm no mind reader so you'll have to be a bit more clear in explaining what is going on on your computer.
A screenshot or 2 of your error messages would come in handy.
