1. I have no music in OpenTTD, regardless of which music set I'm using. Sound effects are all working. Does anyone know where the problem could be? I'm running OpenTTD 1.5.1 from the website on Debian testing. EDIT: I'ts resolved! Thanks for the help, the problem was infront of the screen this time;).
2. An open source simulator based on the classic game Transport Tycoon Deluxe. It attempts to mimic the original game as closely as possible while extending it with new features.

OpenTTD can use the non-free graphics and sound data of the original Windows/DOS version of Transport Tycoon Deluxe. Note: While you can dump the files from either the DOS or the Windows version of the game, only the Windows version provides the original music. By doing this, the OpenTTD setup program will automatically download the latest graphics and sound for the game. If you already own the original TTD, you can choose the 'Copy data from Transport Tycoon Deluxe CD-ROM' option instead to have the original graphics integrated into the game - if so, the next screen will ask you to point out your.

OpenTTD - How To Install The DOS Graphics/sound Effects/music ...

The soundtrack of OpenTTD. I don't own this music, copyright to its respective owners.

Since version 1.0.0 OpenTTD, installation is simplified enough, the game is completely (play and graphics) open source; everything is included in the installer. To download the latest version of OpenTTD click here.

Installation can be a little complicated, as the Base graphics are not distributed with the game. So beside downloading the game, you need to obtain a set of base graphics as well.

Currently, there are two sets of base graphics that OpenTTD can use:

• OpenGFX, the official open source graphics set made by the OpenTTD team.
• The original base graphics from the Transport Tycoon Deluxe (TTD) CD. As opposed to OpenTTD, TTD is not free software.

(If you have access to the TTD base graphics and can't decide what base graphics to use, install the game using the TTD base graphics. OpenGFX can easily be installed afterwards. However, the easiest way is to install the game with all files from the start: TTD base graphics, OpenGFX, OpenMSX and OpenSFX files.)

Original TTD Musics On OpenTTD

If you're installing OpenTTD with the TTD base graphics, OpenTTD requires several original game files from your Transport Tycoon Deluxe installation CD.

The following files are mandatory. You need to copy them to the /baseset directory, which is in your personal OpenTTD directory. These files contain the graphics and the sound effects:

• trg1r.grf
• trgcr.grf
• trghr.grf
• trgir.grf
• trgtr.grf
• sample.cat

Additionally, you may want to copy the original game music. To accomplish that, you need to copy the /gm/ folder from the TTD CD to the /baseset in your personal OpenTTD directory.

There are a few ways to get these files:

• Copy the folder and files from the TTD game CD to your OpenTTD /data folder.
• Unzip a TTD installation zip file, and copy the folders.
• Install TTD for Windows in another directory and then copy the folders.

Chances are, your OpenTTD installation already has sound and music. If it doesn't, we recommend to install OpenSFX and OpenMSX from the in-game content downloader. You need an Internet connection for this. After the download, go to “Game Settings” and select these base sets for sounds and music.

For music to work, your system needs to have MIDI playback support. Most systems should support it out of the box, but if not, consult the manual of your operating system to learn how to get MIDI support.

Custom Music In OpenTTD

You can control music and sound playback in-game with the Sound/Music menu. Click the “Play” button to start music playback.

AI is neccessary in order to get competing companies in singleplayer. Without AI, the computer won't launch any competing companies, and your company will be alone.

In the main menu, click on the “AI” button, and then on “Download extensions”. Again, you need an Internet connection for this to work. There are a lot of AIs to choose from. We recommend SimpleAI for a start, as it is the most stable one. In the AI menu, you can choose how many computer players there will be in your game.
