First of all REALLY Great work guys!!.

Second:
Hello this is my first message here. I have spent 3 days browsing tt-
forums. A month ago have installed my Transport tycoon Deluxe and
TTDpatch and played around with it.

But I got practically blind playing in 640x480 mode. So i browsed and ended at this point webspace....

Now I have OpenTTD ( in 1024x768 mode ) but i cant seem to find in the
forums nor on the sourceforge site how to install custom grf files for
openTTD. I have some questions.

1. Is it possible to install custom grf's ? ( if yes, how? )

2. I have read somewhere on this forum you are (maybe) upgrading to 32 bit with opacity...
( on a side note: in the same thread i read about 4x sized images? )
Is it true? and when is that coming in OpenTTD ?

3. I cant seem to find a list of things in progress or being evaluated for
approval or a list of detailed explanation of features. Where must I
search ?

-------
All in all a lot of questions for one thread maybe.
But I'm curious at your answers.

1. *.exe files run from the directory with the *.grf files in will work just like for TTD. *.grf support is not available (yet).

There's one that lists the most important features on OpenTTD.com.

At the moment you can only use custom grf's which replace the existing grf files: you can't add additional grf files at the moment.

2. I have read somewhere on this forum you are (maybe) upgrading to 32 bit with opacity...

This is planned but we haven't started on that yet.

We don't know yet. We haven't decided on all of the specifics. Only that we'll use PNG.

3. I cant seem to find a list of things in progress or being evaluated for

Such a thing does not exist yet. Documentation for the project is underway, but still far from complete.

As for timetables, none have been set, other than "we're trying hard to have a feature complete game sometime this summer"
