Follow the advice given there and download them using the ingame online content as available from the main menu and the AI configuration menu.

I went into the menu and into the AI configuration and select the get online content but theres nothing there

OK I see what you mean know, All I want to really do is the ability to add more competitors, the once I was looking at so far is more customized for other features. Do you know which one I should download for what I really want to do.

I downloaded some AI'S but I still get a "no suiteable AI available" I place the files in the /AI directory. What am I doing wrong?

When you click on "AI Settings" and then on a AI-slot (where it says "random AI" or similar") and then click on the button to select AI, do you see any AIs in the list-window that opens?

Exactly where did you put your AIs? Did you really mean that you put them in a "AI" directory directly at the UNIX-root?!? I guess not, but exactly where did you put them? Did you check the readme.txt to make sure that you put them at a location that OpenTTD scans?


Did you also download all the libraries that the AIs need? Note that some libraries also depend on other libraries. This is why it is highly recommended to use the in-game content downloader, because it gets all dependencies as well with no extra work for the users.

Well all I did is downloaded a AI file (taz file) and place in under AI/ file like the site said. Unless Im missing something. All I really want to is just be able to is play against the computer. Dont really need anyother type of modding or configurations.

By in game content downloader do you mean the check online content button if so I did not but nothing comes up. Pretty new to all this.

[planetmaker]

Yes, that button: http://wiki.openttd.org/Online_content

You might need to give it some time (depends on your internet connection) as it might take a bit to gather the complete list of downloadable stuff.

[lurk]

I click that but its empty. nothing comes up

Also your firewall may be blocking OpenTTD. In that case nothing will show up in the list either.

[lurk]

Just says could not connect to server.

[lurk]

your probably right about the firewall. Trying to play the game at work during my lunch hour. LOL So they could be blocking it.

If you give us more details and answer my questions above, we can tell you if you did something wrong. Dont just assume that we know what you did. Be specific.
