9.0) Troubleshooting
|
||||
---- ---------------
|
||||
|
||||
To see all startup options available to you, start OpenTTD with the "./openttd -h"
|
||||
option. This might help you tweak some of the settings.
|
||||
If the game is acting weird and you feel adventorous you can try the "-d [[<name>]=[<level>]"
|
||||
flag, where the higher levels will give you more debugging output. The name can help
|
||||
you to filter out only some type of debugging messages. This is mostly undocumented
|
||||
so best is to look in debug.c for the various debugging types. For more information
|
||||
look at http://wiki.openttd.org/index.php/Command_line
|
||||
|
||||
The most frequent problem is missing data files. Don't forget to put all grf
|
||||
files from TTD into your data/ folder including sample.cat!

The most frequent problem is missing data files. Don't forget to put all GRF files from TTD
|
||||
into your data/ folder including sample.cat!
|
||||
|
||||
Another, less frequent problem is the game refusing to run when you don't have a
|
||||
sound card. To solve this, force OpenTTD to run without sound/music by running it with
|
||||
the command line option: "./openttd -s null -m null". This will disable both sound
|
||||
and music.
|
||||
|
||||
Under Windows 98 and lower it is impossible to use a dedicated server; it will fail to
|
||||
start. Perhaps this is for the better because those OS's are not known for their stability.
