Error!
No avaliable language packs

But, i have all TDDX files in the /dat folder and that unicows.dll thing is in place. The version of the game is 0.5.1 and my OS is Windows 98.

Please help

files should be in data folder i guess, not dat, and you don't need only TTD files but also OpenTTD grf files too, it should come with your ottd version

Typo hehe. But the files are in the right folder.

and you don't need only TTD files but also OpenTTD grf files too, it should come with your ottd version

All the .grf files that were listed as "corrupted or missing" are in the /data folder.

In short, it should work, but it doesn't

Where are you running OpenTTD from? I think the working directory needs to be the directory with the data folder in it...

You must use the win9x version, not the win32 one.

And unicows.dll is not needed anymore.

You must use the win9x version, not the win32 one.

That was the problem.

It works fine now
