  INSTALL OPEN TRANSPORT TYCOON DELUXE (OPENTTD)

Written by Jonny McCullagh <http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/McCullagh>

Proof that the old ones are the best is no further away than installing 
OpenTTD – the open-sourced version of the classic Transport Tycoon 
Deluxe. The game's creator Chris Sawyer opened the code when he moved on 
to developing Roller Coaster Tycoon. The code is now actively developed 
as OpenTTD at: http://www.openttd.org.

Testo339: The game is a simulation-type game based on transport. You are 
a tycoon and you have to build your business around transporting people, 
raw materials and goods while building roads, railways, harbours and 
airports. Monoplise, make money and eliminate the competition – sound 
familiar? Installation • Open System > Administration > Synaptic Package 
Manager • Using the 'Search' button search for 'openttd' Note: If 
nothing appears ensure that you have enabled the multiverse repository 
in Settings > Repositories • Double-click the 'openttd' package 
displayed in the results. • You may also want to install the 'rar' 
package while in Synaptic. You may need it later. • Click on the 'Apply' 
button to install the software. The important point to note when 
installing OpenTTD, is that for legal reasons the original Transport 
Tycoon Deluxe artwork cannot be distributed with OpenTTD. As a result 
you need to get the data files from your original CD version of 
Transport Tycoon Deluxe. If, like me, that original CD is gathering dust 
in a box in the roofspace you might want to obtain the data files from 
the web. Details about the data files is available here: 
http://www.tt-forums.net/ viewtopic.php?t=3407 As discussed the data 
files can be downloaded from: 
http://download.transporttycoon.net/files/ttd-graphics.rar To download 
the data files and copy them to the correct location: Open a terminal 
and enter: mkdir tmp cd tmp wget 
http://download.transporttycoon.net/files/ttd-graphics.rar unrar e 
ttd-graphics.rar rm ttd-graphics.rar sudo cp * 
/usr/share/games/openttd/data If you have any difficulty extracting 
these data files you may need to install the 'unrar' package using your 
Package Manager' Once the artwork is in the correct folder you should be 
able to run OpenTTD from Applications > Games > OpenTTD and play the 
game in all its 1990's glory. Getting Started When you begin a new game 
you should familiarise yourself with the buttons across the top of the 
screen. • Click on the coin stack icon. Borrow as much from the bank as 
possible to get started • Hold and drag with the right mouse button 
clicked to move around the map

    *

      • Click the road icon and in the 'Road Construction' dialog box
      that appears choose the first road icon and start clicking and
      dragging roads across the map. The second road icon in the 'Road
      Construction' dialog builds roads in the other direction. Aim to
      build a road between two towns.

• Next click on the fifth icon in the 'Road Construction' dialog and 
build two Bus Depots – one in each of the towns you have joined with the 
road. • Next click on the fourth icon in the 'Road Construction' dialog 
and build a 'Road Vehicle Depot' beside one of your roads. • Click on 
the Depot you have just built and you should see a dialog which allows 
you to buy vehicles. • Buy a bus by clicking on 'New Vehicle' button • 
Once you have your vehicle a new window will open representing that 
vehicle. You need to give your vehicle some instructions so it can start 
making you some money. Click on the fourth icon down (broken yellow 
arrow) • The 'Orders' dialog appears. Click on the 'Goto' button then 
locate your bus stop on your map and click on it. The name of your bus 
stop should appear in the vehicle's orders. Then find the second bus 
stop you created and click on it. Your bus should now have a route of 
two bus stops so click on the red 'Stopped' button on the 'Road Vehicle' 
dialog. Your vehicle should now be on the road (making money) so follow 
it for a while to make sure all is well. Continue building your road 
fleet and look for subsidies, also when you have the funds move onto 
rail, ships and aircraft. By now I'm sure you're probably as addicted as 
I am. If you like the game consider donating to www.openttd.org
