openttd for Debian ------------------ To properly play this game, original data files are needed. You should copy the data files from the original TTD into the data directory (/usr/share/games/openttd/data). You should copy all .grf files there. -Music For in game music (optional), you should copy all files in the data/gm folder of your ttd installation to /usr/share/games/openttd/gm. You should also install timdity and a soundfont (freepats is packaged in debian and works out of the box). Don't forget to use -m extmidi if you want music, and if you have problems, remember that not all audio devices support multiple audiostreams (music and sound), so you might have to use software mixing. My VIA AC97 device cannot do hardware mixing, for example. -Scenarios There are a few scenarios included in this release. When you start openttd it will look for scenarios in ~/.openttd/scenario, while the premade scenarios are in /usr/share/games/openttd/data/scenario. You have two options to use the scenarios. * Navigate to /usr/share/games/openttd/data/scenario within openttd. * Copy scenarios from /usr/share/games/openttd/data/scenario to ~/.openttd/scenario. We are looking into a better solution for this. -- Matthijs Kooijman <m.kooijman@student.utwente.nl>, Tue, 25 Jan 2004 14:11:01 +0200
