There exists another project along with OTTD, this project does like the name says patch the original TTD from Chris Sawyer. Thanks to TTDPatch, we have so many nice NewGRFs.

Thats the reason, I'm making this page.

Installing

In the same manner, as we do with OpenTTD, I'll explain installing of TTDPatch also with nightly builds. (current Revision: r1697)

Linux

Requirements: wine (please add, if you have to install something else)

1. Install a original TTD (Windows) somwhere on your system
2. download RegisteryEditor to same directory and run it
3. download and extract latest nightly (w32) to the same directory
4. You need a current default GRFSet (ttdpbasew.grf, comparable to openttd.grf), download it to newgrf/.
5. Now, you should be able to run TTDPatch with default settings and no additional newgrfs.

Windows

The installing should be almost the same. (except wine, of course)

DOS

lol

Configuration

The "good old" configurator TTDXC seems a little bit overloaded and complicated, so I recommend to take TTDPC.

TTDPatch needs very carefully reading of the docs, so you understand which switch should be on, which off. This software supports you with comments to possible switches and possible values. But it does only edit the ttdpatch.cfg like you could self with your favorite editor.

NewGRFs

I doesn't make much sense to play without newgrfs, so here is a starting help:

• You can use our GRF Pack here too.
• Because the patch provide you with some cool stuff like enhanced tunnels, newindustries etc., you can also use our GRF preview pack "testing": <linktotesting> (Please inform us, if you find some other cool grfs.)

You need to include a file called newgrfw.cfg with relative paths to all newgrfs. There is also a switch in ttdpatch.cfg `newgrfcfg' (-Xn) to define other files, so you can use different newgrf lists.

Start

Start with wine ttdpatchw.exe -y

Multiplayer

It depends how well the patch works for MP mode, so we can also play a game together, sometimes?

Saves / Screens

Last, I like to collect some saves, where we can see some of the cool stuff from the patch:

(Feel free to add your own, but don't be worry, if we delete it sometimes....)
