32bpp version ... eee...

[maaboo]

Sorry for a dumb question, but... where i can get 32bpp version of OTTD? Is it real? It looks like it's a "normal" version which i can download from official site (i didn't see any special 32bpp versions).

[LordAzamath]

it's included in nightlys and since 0.6.0-beta1 (for releases).
You have to start OpenTTD from command line ->
linux

Code: Select all

./openttd -b 32bpp-anim

win

Code: Select all

openttd -b 32bpp-anim

More info here

PS. Wiki is powerful tool..

Oh, thanks! It's so... obscure.

I will try to plug new sets...

[maaboo]

Are there more graphics then at http://wiki.openttd.org/index.php/List_ ... 32bpp_tars?

[LordAzamath]

Yes. But they aren't coded. Generally everything we have done has been put up there.

[razielanarki]

wow, until this point i tought it was enabled by default...
enabled it now, and it looks much better (ttf fonts, transparency)

On the wiki it say's "4. Open your openttd.cfg with the text editor of your choice." But i can't find the openttd.cfg file in the installation folder. I have the 0.6.0 beta 2 version installed, and already have edited the patches through the "configure patches" menu in the game. But still, the openttd.cfg file doesn't show... any advice?

On Windows, it's in My Documents, under "OpenTTD".

[LordAzamath]

Try your local directory. On linux it's /home/MyUserName/.openttd , for win C:\Users\MyUserName\Documents\OpenTTD

[Buran]

thanks people, you helped me out!

[oboka]

I'm trying all this options but I don't see any difference.

[LordAzamath]

have you downloaded any 32bpp tars? they don't come bundled.

[oboka]

Of course... I've tried to add the tars manually to the openttd.cfg, but can't see the new sprites, and entries are deleted after finishing the game.

Read this: http://wiki.openttd.org/index.php/Playi ... p_graphics
Read it again. If you can't get any help from there, then I can't help you too...

[oboka]

I've read this page a zillion times. Can TARS be added using the game's GUI just like newGRF?

[CMircea]

No. You just put them in the "data" folder and the game will handle them automatically, as they contain all the necessary info.

[oboka]

OK! Thanks! thats the info I nedeed, this should be said in the wiki

[LordAzamath]

In order to play with 32bpp graphics, follow the guide below.

1. Have OpenTTD 0.6.0 beta 1 or nightly build r11119 or later installed. (Make sure you know which folder it is in.)
2. Go to the folder where OpenTTD is installed.
3. Put the 32bpp graphics tar file(s) in the data directory. This is the same directory where you put your NewGRFs.
4. Open your openttd.cfg with the text editor of your choice.
5. Add blitter = 32bpp-simple under the [misc] section and save the file. This is a foolproof way to get 32bit graphics working - if you want more choice, familiarize yourself with the section below.

I can see put the graphics tar file(s) in the data directory..It's said there.

[oboka]

Yes, but doesn't say that they are configured automatically.

It even says:

This is the same directory where you put your NewGRFs

so anyone can think that they work the same way.

[LordAzamath]

The reason of manuals is that nobody should think with their own heads. If they do, they get into trouble. Following those 5 steps and doing only those five steps, is not hard..But anyway, because you already succeeded, I won't naga anymore
