"Subrules" for current Pax/Cargo Destination game

1) Use long-distance carriages always
2a) Build depots so that they can only be reached from a station platform, preferably at terminal stations

How to join a patched server

Ask for further help on IRC

XXXX = type !revision on irc

Linux (or other selfcompiler;-)

  • svn revert . -R (for i in `svn st src/ | sed -n -e 's/^\? //gp'`; do rm $i -Rf; done)
  • svn up -rXXXX (without M)
  • Get the patch from the forum thread. It's usually on the last page. (link is in the IRC topic)
  • patch -p0 -i patch.diff
  • ./configure && make
  • if your client shows now the revision rXXXXM -> join us

Windows

  • Take BuildOTTD and let it make for you. (or ask XeryusTC for a binary on IRC)
  • if your client shows now the revision rXXXXM -> join us

Mac OSX

If you've installed the development tools (XCode, subversion, dev package), the same steps as for Linux apply.

revert

Because you will have troubles with reverting patched source. (new files won't be deleted)

for i in `svn st src/ | sed -n -e 's/^\?      //gp'`; do rm $i; done

There is a script in the root directory: ./cleanrevert
