sorry if this is really really stupid, but
i've downloaded squirrel 2.23 (or whatever it is)
but now what do i do?

please say if i'm being really thick

You're being really thick

Read the wiki - you just make the .nut files using your favorite text editor. The squirrel code itself is translated/understood by OTTD.

yea i always forget the wiki
i remembered it just as i posted
oh well looking now

PS what are all the other files in the squirrel folder thing?

I have no idea - I haven't downloaded anything from/for Squirrel.

Don't worry, it happens to the best of us!

The best way to start IMHO is just to play around. You can change your code and reload your AI while OpenTTD is still running. I hack A LOT of stuff together in this way. Just try stuff and make good use of AILog and AISign to help give you feedback on what is going on.

Best of luck

The other thing I highly recommend is getting yourself an IRC client (mIRC is you have Windows or chatzilla if you use FireFox) and join #openttd and #openttd.noai on irc.oftc.net.

If I'm talking gibberish in this post drop me a PM and I'll explain the whole thing
