|
== ATTENTION ==
|
|
The client circumvents the OpenTTD version checks to be able to join unpatched multiplayer games.
|
|
Because of this, if you encounter any bug, report it to Novapolis team as it may be connected to patches included.
|
|
Unless you encouter the same bug on unpatched OpenTTD client do not report it to OpenTTD development team.
|
|
|
|
|
|
== INSTALL ==
|
|
If you have shared OpenTTD folder, you can just unzip anywhere and launch
|
|
If you dont use shared folder, unzip into your OpenTTD folder
|
|
innerhighlight.grf in data folder is required, copy it to data or content_download/data folder
|
|
|
|
== PRO INSTALL ==
|
|
WINDOWS
|
|
Possible situations:
|
|
1) Installing stable release from openttd.org, install also with graphics and sound sets (only graphic are required)
|
|
Install the package. It will create game files in %Program Files%/OpenTTD and user files in %USER_PROFILE%/Documents/OpenTTD
|
|
To gain advantage of shared folder, copy all files except LANG folder and OPENTTD.EXE from %Program Files%/OpenTTD to %USER_PROFILE%/Documents/OpenTTD
|
|
Now if you can unzip this client anywhere and if openttd.exe stays with its lang/folder, you can launch it from any place
|
|
This will also you enable you to use any number or openttd versions/clients
|
|
2) Installing stable release from zip
|
|
Download zip and also graphics set zip.
|
|
Unzip both into the same folder. Graphics set belong to BASESET or DATA folder
|
|
Launch the openttd.exe (if there is openttd.cfg already, delete it)
|
|
Quit OpenTTD. Now it created user files in your User profile
|
|
Copy all files except LANG folder and OPENTTD.EXE into User profile folder called OpenTTD
|
|
This will enable you to use any number or openttd versions/clients under condition you keep openttd.exe and its lang files in one folder (every client comes with binary and lang folder at least)
|
|
LINUX
|
|
Novapolis does not ship linux client. Your only chance is to compile it by yourself.
|
|
Process is easy and simple guide is at http://wiki.openttd.org/Compiling_on_(GNU/)Linux_and_*BSD
|
|
If you can use Linux, you can compile OpenTTD too
|
|
|
|
== LOGIN SYSTEM ==
|
|
Community Login system - login window
|
|
- Please read carefully about new login system if you intend to use it
|
|
- new login system for Novapolis and also for n-ice and BTPro, login date are stored in new config file novapolis.cfg
|
|
- login window can be opened via landinfo dropdown mene or a hotkey can be associated with it, for example CTRL+L
|
|
|
|
- login is saved by entering text via OpenTTD forms. Remember that OpenTTD shows real letters when entering any text
|
|
- novapolis password is stored encrypted and login string is sent via ingame chat privately to server
|
|
so no one can see it
|
|
- n-ice and BTPro uses token system. In order to retrieve the token, client has to log to their websites
|
|
obtain the token here and enter it in ingame chat
|
|
Alternatively both communities implemented a system, that one can open a dedicated webpage
|
|
and enter username and password there to obtain the token, which is used in n-ice and BTPro
|
|
patched OpenTTD client and Novapolis client uses it too.
|
|
Once token is retrieved, it is sent via ingame chat privately to server
|
|
so no one can see it
|
|
|
|
!!! Be aware, that the token login webpage needs decrypted password, so this decrypted password
|
|
is stored in novapolis.cfg file and send decrypted via OpenTTD to their website
|
|
Thus do not provide novapolis.cfg file to any one!
|
|
N-ice and BTPro are 3rd side and Novapolis cannot guarantee safety of the login to their community
|
|
and should they change the login system, Novapolis client login will not work for both of them
|
|
|
|
== SCRIPTS ==
|
|
autoexec.scr contains some predefined aliases for connecting on Novapolis server
|
|
In game press ~ (above tab key) and write "nova+<number>", e.g. "nova1". This will connect you to desired server
|
|
This is usable for any OpenTTD servers
|
|
|
|
If you want to use login alias, you will have to rewrite "nick" and "password" to your actual Novapolis account.
|
|
However bear in mind, if you accidentally launch this alias on another server, you will uncover your password
|
|
|
|
|
|
== OPENTTD.CFG ==
|
|
In openttd.cfg.example are lines you can add to your openttd.cfg to have Novapolis servers available in multiplayer menu all the time without searching for games
|
|
This is usable for any OpenTTD servers
|
|
|
|
|
|
