Open Transport Tycoon DS Released

[wraggster]

dominik81 (http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=35306&p=656529#p656529) has posted a fantastic release for the Nintendo DS, heres the release info:


Here it is, the very first sneak peak at my Nintendo DS port. While it looks pretty much the same as the last screenshots I posted, a lot has changed internally and it is running much smoother now. Through the elimination of the wasteful _chatmessage_backup (a 440KB global variabl ) it is now possible to load bigger maps, up to 128x256.

Other notable changes are:
- based on r11844
- maps up to 256x128 running (but saving only works for 64x64 right now)
- saving and loading works
- in openttd.cfg you can define a path where your data resides
- loading time greatly reduced from 45 seconds to 15 seconds
- rewritten the blitter to free 96KB of main RAM

Some serious bugs still remain:
- pathfinder crashes
- open road station gui, then click on road depot icon -> crash
- station gui crashes / not displayed correctly

To get it running you probably need to DLDI patch it. I have a R4DS card which takes care of patching by itself. Please report any bugs / hardware issues here.

[campbell00]

[Novi]

OMG I've waited for someone to do this for so long!!! Can't wait to see more releases of it!

*edit*

Can't seem to get it working. I'm getting the error:

[Err:] No available language packs (invalid versions?) assertion "0" failed: file "media/hdb1/dev/ndsdev/openttd/src/os/ds/arm9/.../.../.../.../src/openttd.cpp", line 111

I'm using an NDS Simply. Don't really know whats up with ;o

[weaselboy246]

change the gamedata_path in the openttd.cfg to "fat:/openttd/" from "fat:/gamedata/openttd/"

I own a 2slot SuperCard with MINISD. I got the following error:

[Err:] No available language packs (invalid versions?) assertion "0" failed: file "/media/hdb1/dev/ndsdev/openttd/src/os/ds/arm9/../../../../src/openttd.cpp", line 111

I went googling for that error and landed over here:

Weaselboy246 says:

change the gamedata_path in the openttd.cfg to "fat:/openttd/" from "fat:/gamedata/openttd/"

That's what I did, now i got myself a new error :
[Err:] Cannot open file 'sample.cat' assertion "0" failed: file "/media/hdb1/dev/ndsdev/openttd/src/os/ds/arm9/../../../../src/openttd.cpp", line 111




Can someone help me with this?
Email me or add me on msn plz. [email protected]

You need to copy the sample.cat file from the original game.

I got it working and its quite nice for an alpha build, im lookin forward to new releases :)

Alpha 4 is now available in the TTForums from here (http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=35306&st=0&sk=t&sd=a) and is currently based of r11899.



Changelog for Alpha 4:

* based on r11899
* added a start icon and description
* the random seed works
* loading original TTD saves disabled (256x256 too big for DS)
* press A anytime (even after crashes) to toggle the console
* Fix: trains can load and unload now
* Fix: road depot window (and similar) doesn't crash any more
* Fix: YAPF is completely disabled now. If the player enables it or it is enabled in a savegame, an error message is displayed and it is turned off
* Fix: saving games with bigger maps is now possible. Due to this savegames have to be uncompressed. Still 256x128 maps is the biggest possible due to memory limitations.
* Reduced viewport memory. crashes due to not enough memory available shouldn't happen so often any more.
* The game bow the start menu at the beginning
* Added a 128x64 version of the title screen savegame
* Added a key combination for the cheat menu
* Some bugs not mentioned should be fixed due to general improvements


Known bugs:

* graphical glitches (mostly during scrolling) because the nds blitter needs to be rewritten
* minimap glitches
* trying to create mäps bigger than 256x128 crashes
* the screen resolution is too small making it impossible to click some windows

Please report any bugs that are not mentioned in this list.

For those having problems:
You need to place the following files in the OpenTTD data folder:
sample.cat, trg1(r).grf, trgc(r).grf, trgh(r).grf, trgi(r).grf, trgt(r).grf
(The R is on the windows version of the files)
All of these files can found in your original TTD installation or on your TTD disc.

Serge dude, this is for OTTD on the DS.. not another site for you to promote your 32bpp gfx pack which will not work on the DS because afaik Dominik had to remove that blitter...

I also hope you got permissions to distribute those files... they aren't all open source... And if I remember correctly that's what everyone kept telling you to do on the official forum..
