OpenTTD Now Playable

m1ndle5s | January 26, 2006

OpenTTD, what the …..? Yeah, I’m not going to explain what it is. So I’m going to let Turulo from the DCemu forums do the job. Also, when you unzip the file, you’ll notice that one folder is named 1.52, ignore the name it is suppose to be 1.50.

Hi,

I have started a port of OpenTTD game based on the original Transport Tycoon Deluxe. Now the port is playable but save/load doesnt work by the moment.

More info about the game and full feature list:
http://www.openttd.org/about.php

I include the readme that contains all the information about port status, etc ..

Quote:

OpenTTD is a clone of the Microprose game “Transport Tycoon Deluxe”, a popular game originally written by Chris Sawyer. It attempts to mimic the original game as closely as possible while extending it with new features.

OpenTTD is originaly developed by the openttd team http://www.openttd.org and has been ported to the PSP by Jaime Penalba. This code is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2.0. For more information, see the file ‘COPYING’ included with every release and source download of the game.

INSTALLATION
============

To run OpenTTD it is *required* that you install certain files needed from the
original retail Transport Tycoon Deluxe, whether for DOS or Windows.

1.- Copy the “ottd/” directory into your psp at “/PSP/GAME/” (game data)

2.- Depending on your psp version (game executable)
* 1.0 & 2.0 (2.0 not tested), Copy the “1.00/ottd/” dir to “/PSP/GAME/”
* 1.52, Copy the “1.52/ottd/” & “1.52/ottd%/” dirs to “/PSP/GAME/”

3.- Now you must install some data files from the retail Transport Tycoon Deluxe
you will find the game easily on some abandonware sites or p2p networks. To
install them you must copy the following files to “/PSP/GAME/ottd/data/”
* Required files: TRG1R.GRF, TRGCR.GRF, TRGHR.GRF, TRGIR.GRF, TRGTR.GRF, SA
MPLE.CAT

CONTROLS
========

- Digital pad: 1px movement
- Analog stick: 2px movement
- Cross: mouse left click
- Circle: mouse right click, hold it and press pad to move arround the map.
- Square: hold it and press pad or analog, to move a window.
- Triangle: Closes the window under mouse cursor (BE CAREFULL, you will see)
- L trigger: Zoom out
- R trigger: Zoom in
- L trigger + R trigger: Delete all non vital windows

Transport tycoon is game by the same creator of rollercoaster tycoon (Chris Sawyer or something). In TT you are a manager of a transport company and you have to set up a whole infrastructure for your company, like building trainrails and roads. You’re goal is to make as much money as possible and to make big rail- and roadnetworks where your vehicles can transport things from for example a farm to a goodsfactory.
Allthough the game was made in 1993 it looks superb and it’s just sooo much fun :D.

(btw, srry for my spelling and grammar, but hey, im Dutch :P)

If he can port this why doesnt he just port Rollercoaster tycoon its 20X better

and uses the same engien

cuz he ported this game using the opensource version of transport tycoon. You can probably guess that a opensource application is much easier to port then a closed source app like rollercoaster (not sure btw, maybe there’s a opensource version).

And btw, the game rollercoaster will stress your psp alot more then transport tycoon, so i don’t know if it’s even possible.

But to comment on ur reply: transport tycoon owns rollercoaster imo. Have u even played TT before?

In options maybe? I dunno. I used my own OTTD dir (still had it on my pc). It doesnt work on 2.0, so I haven’t gotten it to work on my psp yet, but anyway. When I copyed my ottd dir I saw a bunch of files named, dutch.lng, spanish.lng, english.lng and so on.
Just checked the ottd root and there’s a map called “Lang”. That’s where those files are in. Maybe in this download file the only language that was included was spanish.lng?
If u guys want, i can upload the english.lng file (or e-mail it, cuz I dont have any webspace).

I fixed it by changing the name of english.lng to brazillian-portuguese.lng. Now I have Enlish language :). Strange bug though..

2.- Depending on your psp version (game executable)
* 1.0 & 2.0 (2.0 not tested)
I was tested but it doesn’t start with loader085!!

Did u get the missing files that you need? You can get them from here:
http://download.transporttycoon.net/files/ttd-graphics.rar

Man, this stinks. I really wish it worked on 2.0. I got the files and everything. My fanjita 9 loader says 001000 means kernel and that usaully lets the app run untill something kernel is needed. ( as in metroid plantets I can run with the kernel string error showing, but freezes when I do somthing too much. ) My openttd keeps on freezeing on please wait… I just going to downgrade. Great jo on the game. Maybe you can contact Chris Sawyer due to the fact the rollercoaster tycoon went to the people at frontier. He’d be willing to give you guys the code for a psp homebrew, heck maybe even a comercial homebrew like that media center thing.

Sorry, guys, but RCT isn’t coming anytime soon. There isn’t an open-source version of it because it’s copyright Atari, and it is certainly _not_ abandonware. It would be virtually impossible to port the win32 RCT bytecodes(exe files) over to the PSP. To all the noobs who are like, “ARGH HELP I”M STUPID”, your problem can be solved by searching around on pspupdates.com. Full homebrew functionality should come soon to 2.50 and 2.60.
