OpenTTD for PSP with working save/load

[turulo]

http://nixgeneration.com/~jaime/psp/openttd/screenshots/openttd-rc2-4.png

Well here is a version that fixes fileio problems, which means saving/loading is now working, there is still too much work to be done in the gui. Im releasing this as playing without saving is a pain, and now i can continue porting more relaxed.

Also note that now there are 2 openttd packages, one for 1.50 and the other one for 1.00 & 2.00, i hope this simplifies the installation and also to avoid the language issue.


The ChangeLog:

Fixed fileio problems, this enables
- Save/Load scenearios
- Save/Load scenearios
- Play any of the four landscape types
- Save ingame modified settings
Triangle deleting main screen fixed
Some debug messages added when missing files
Added screenshot support presing select button


NOTE FOR 2.00 OR GREATER USERS
For those having issues with the game here is the explanation, so please be patient and dont ask twice for the same thing.

The problem is the following, openttd keeps by default 8 opened files
and PSP just allow 10 opened files a as max, then it just have 2 files
to open left for save/load, screenshots or any other fileio
operations.

Looks like fanjita loaders keeps 1 or even 2 files opened, so it will
produce malfunctions on openttd, i will try to contact fanjita to see
if he can free those 2 precious file descriptors in his loader.


NOTE FOR THOSE SUFFERING THE BRAZILIAN ISSUE
The release is on good working condition, it works fine for me uncompressing and copying files from a unix box, so i dont know if winzip or windows xp integrated zip is truncating files or what...

If you are installing this over an old release, just delete the old one and install the new one.

If you are still suffering the language issue, just delete the "brazilian_portuguese.lng" file under "/PSP/GAME/ottd/lang/" and rename your desired language to "brazilian_portuguese.lng".

This is awsome news can't wait to try it out. Mad props for this port :D :cool:

[Tweak420]

Well I got it working and it was fairly easy but I can't get it in english. I tried messing with the cfg file and it was already set to english so i tried american and it still didn't work. :confused: I don't know what language it is in otherwise I would rename english.lng to that. Any ideas of what I can do to solve this? Still an awsome port by the way :D

I was just looking at the other thread for the first release for 1.5 and found that it was in brazilian or whatever so I deleated that lng file and renamed english.lng to brazilian and that seemed to the trick. looking forward to putting many hours into this classic again. :cool:

yahoooo
thanks again Turulo!!! It's nearly perfect for me, at least it really playable.
I haven't found news bugs, just two that were in the first release; the language selection and the map menu .

I can't get this work! :mad: I use EBOOT loader for 2.00 and downloaded the files and followd the instruction exactly. But the game hangs at :

"Starting OpenTTD
Please Wait..."

What should I do to get this thing working?? :confused: :confused:

I'm having the same problem, also on a 2.0 PSP

[Moning2]

hehe the gta eboot loader gets to rendering the mouse in the upper left corner, cant move it tho... :) but after some more loading it shuts down :( :(

[VFerg]

Amazing port! I also had the same problems at first with the language and then the world map freeze, but like it was said before thats really all there is! I got fustrated at first when it wouldnt load then the language wasnt right and then the first thing I did was hit world map button when I entered a new map then froze, but knowing now that that should be all the errors I can play without worry... hopefully (it was pretty funny at the time)! Great release!

Hi i have updated the main thread, so those 2.00+ users and people having language related issues must take a look.

[Madonion]

I found a bug.
When you click on the icon for trains to build the station, that open space in the tab on the right. if you click on it by accident instead of the icon the game freezes.

[NSXR]

Nice! The game work now for me..(No sound :( )
But the save/load function still dosen't work.
I can't load any other landscapes other than the temperate eather.
Have tryed both versions, 1.50 and 2.00, but it is the same problem. :(

I'm running on 2.00 and using EBOOT loader 9.0.
What can I do to fix the problems?

[turulo]

Thanks to all those reporting bugs, i will try to fix known bugs on new releases, as with save/load working for 1.50 now i can work just more relaxed.

About people having troubles on 2.00, just read the notes at the main thread, the game is working fine on 1.50, but not on 2.00 due to fanjita loader "limitations", i hope this to be fixed, but it isnt my fault, sorry.

[NSXR]

Hope the version that alow you to save/load for 2.00 come out before friday..If not, I'm going to downgrade to 1.5...

Lovely, Can't wait for a version with music!
