Save in a directory where you have write permissions.

[Wolf01]

What DaleStan is trying to tell you is to move your openttd.cfg from the "Program Files\OpenTTD" folder to your "User" folder, because OpenTTD need to know where to save your files
It helps also deleting the openttd.cfg so OTTD will create a new one in the right place, but then you need to reconfigure all the settings you changed, but doing so you are sure it works

now its working agin i change directory thanks for the help

Hello ,

I have the same problem with saving a selfmade scenario , but I don't understand how to fix it . I can't find the openttd.cfg file in my OpenTTD folder !
Can anyone help me with this problem ( again )

Of in het Nederlands ; kan iemand me helpen met dit probleem ?

Greetz,

Pinkmoon a.k.a Niels

You probably don't have any other "openttd.cfg" files on your system. So using the search file capabilities of your system would probably have given you a faster answer than asking here.

But since you have asked I'll give you an answer. As you have not told us your operating system I will need to give you the answer for all operating systems. Next time, please specify which operating system you are using.

For Linux:
~/.openttd

For Windows:
My Documents\OpenTTD

For MacOSX:
~/Documents/openttd

Pick the directory based on your operating system. Go there, and likely you will find your openttd.cfg there. Unless you have been using OpenTTD for long time and have it in the same directory as you have installed OpenTTD.

I have Windows Vista .

I luckely find the openttd.cfg file and I copied it to the folder OpenTTD in my programfiles but it didn't work

I've tried everyting, but it didn't work

Can anyone tell me in steps how to fix this error ?

I use OpenTTD 0.6.3 .

[DaleStan]

What is the antecedent of "it"?

[PinkMoon]

The antecedent of 'it' is the openttd.cfg file that I copied to the OpenTTD folder

[DaleStan]

What about in the other two cases?

"I luckely find the openttd.cfg file and I copied the openttd.cfg file to the folder OpenTTD in my programfiles but the openttd.cfg file didn't work" just doesn't have any meaning I can discern.

Nor does "I've tried everyting, but the openttd.cfg file didn't work"

[PinkMoon]

Oké , oké .

I'll try again to explain the situation.

I've deleted all the OpenTTD and Transport Tycoon Deluxe files from my computer and I downloaded again Transport Tycoon Deluxe and OpenTTD 0.6.3 for Windows Vista .


Everytime I want to save a selfmade scenario ,I get a message : Loading Game Failure,File is not writable (Nederlands : Laden Spel Mislukt , Spel is niet schrijfbaar). That is the real problem !

I've found the openttd.cfg file in my OpenTTD directory but I don't understand where I must put it ! ?

Is this a better explanation ?

[Rubidium]

Try saving the scenario somewhere else than the 'default' location. IIRC Vista doesn't (depends on settings) like it when an application writes in "Program Files".

[PinkMoon]

I'll try that solution . Thank you .

[PinkMoon]

It works ! Thank you very, very much ! I've tried everything the last two hours but this is the solution . Put the scenario in another file !
