Significant enhancements from the +original game include bigger maps, new AI, stable multiplayer mode, dedicated +server mode, and many in-game updates. -Several original Windows data files must be copied into the -/usr/share/games/openttd/data directory before the game can be played. +Historically, users of OpenTTD needed access to several original Windows data +files in order to successfully run the game. However, now there are two +options: -List of the required files: -sample.cat trg1r.grf trgcr.grf trghr.grf trgir.grf trgtr.grf +1. Using open source data files. + +There are now open source equivalent files for the graphics (opengfx), sound +(opensfx), and music (openmsx) data files. This script includes support for +these three extra downloads and will move the files into the right place so +long as OPENDATA=YES (which is the default). + +2. Using the original Windows data files. + +Alternatively, the user can still use the original Windows data files. If the +original Windows data files are going to be used, then they must be copied into +the /usr/share/games/openttd/data directory before the game can be played. +List of the required files: sample.cat trg1r.grf trgcr.grf trghr.grf trgir.grf +trgtr.grf. Note that the user can either set OPENDATA=NO in which case the +open source data files will not be used by the script and OpenTTD. Or, the +user can keep OPENDATA=YES in which case the open source data files will be +included giving the user the ability to choose which data file set (original +Windows or open source data files) to use within the game options menu. -Again, several original files must be copied from the game cd or equivalent.
