OpenTTD conversion

[Fender]

Hey, im new here so forgive me if im asking some dumb question answered hundreds of times. I am currently using OpenTTD to make my scenarios and i want to use TTDPatch to play them. Is there any way i can convert my OpenTTD scenarios to ones that are playable in TTDPatch? Changing the file extensions wont work btw lol. Thanks.

No because the OpenTTD file structure is much diffrent to TTDPatch. But i'm not an expert so i'm not sure

Yes, there is a way.
No, it is not easy.

1) Compile OTTD without ZLIB, or otherwise produce an uncompressed save.
2) Edit the save from OTTD's format into TTDPatch's format. (Or, better yet, write a program to do this for you.)
3) Compress the new save with sv1codec.
4) Open the save with TTD[Patch] and hope you did everything corectly.

Smells like a feature to be added "Save in TTDPatch format"

is there a way to use TTDAlter, or something like it, on openTTD? it would be a lot easier....

uh... download source... recompile... or edit the grfs.. depends on what you are trying to achieve.

Lol, like you could do that by hand
It's not worth the trouble, and your fcked anyways if your map is not 256x256 in size.

I'm afraid both TTDAlter and TTDX Editor will not work with OpenTTD or OpenTTD saved games/scenarios, due to the fact that the internals of both are significantly different to normal TTD.
