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!
