Transport Tycoon Forums

I was wondering whether openttd uses an independent synthesizer for music or does it use the default midi device specified in the window control panel? I tried changing the midi device but it seems that it makes no difference. I digged around the cfg file and found out that there is extmidi line. Does anyone knows what the options are for this line? Thanks.

Really? No one knows anything about using a different device to play Transport Tycoons beloved soundtrack? Perhaps someone can point me in the right direction. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.

Whether MIDI is played by OpenTTD or an external application depends on the compile time options and the OS.

Thanks for replying Rubidium.
I do get midi music, its just that I want to use a different device to play it, since the quality of the midi is dependent on the device.

To change MIDI device, run which will output the list of devices. You can set the ALSA_OUTPUT_PORTS variable in your environment with (for example) or provide the option directly.

If this doesn't help you, you may try actually specifying which OS you are using rather than having us guess.
