OpenTTD

[TapeDeck]

All the Open TTD topic are too old to bump, so I think it's time for a new one :D

I'm going to start hosting a server, feel free to join.  New players are welcome, but I'm not going to explain the entire game to you through chat.  That's what the web manual is for.  Server is named TapeDeck's Sever(69.244.45.20).  Password will be blockland.

I'm going to shut down the server in a few hours due to my need of sleep, but I'll save the game and bump this topic when the sever is up again.

Yeah I basically copy/pasted your post haha.  I'll maybe host tomorrow or on chirstmas.  I just started playing this again during break and I've gotten kinda of decent.

[Bisjac]

we need wedge again lol. he was slick with the trains and made a good end game player when the world filled up.

[TapeDeck]

When I played with you guys, I always got to about year 2020, and then I had to leave for some reason or another, so I never got to get to see the endgame.

[Bisjac]

well it always got bogged down with broken companies and spam leftover from failed players.
to many blocklanders would play for an hour and crap themselves up. spamming the world up.

its almost like they need a noob server as well lol, filter them away from the good players.

[TapeDeck]

I was one of those types :P

Whenever I found out a server was up, I would join, only to find that you guys had already been playing for like 40 years and all had huge rail networks and such.

[Bisjac]

i mean like there are players who cant keep themselves from going bankrupt. they leave the game to start a new company, to do it 3-4 times.
leaving junk rail and buildings all over the map, basically eating the resources to feed the dead NPC they became.

this is defiantly not the kind of game you can learn as you play. you have to spend some hours in single play just to keep your head above water, before you attempt to play with other players.

[TapeDeck]

you should join just so i'm not bored haha

[Bisjac]

im on my phone right now. wont be able to play till tomorrow night.

I have it
Need to update it
Update to version 1.0.5?

[TapeDeck]

I'm running the 1.1.0 found here: http://www.openttd.org/en/download-testing

It will update your current install of you download that .exe

If anyone was trying to connect, I was crashing because the current nightly sucks, so now I'm running the beta and it's working much better :P

Edit: It kept crashing because I loaded the save I used with the nightly, so I'm restarting the game.  Not that it really affects anyone.  Because no one is playing.

Double Edit: Still crashing, so I'm stepping back to 1.0.5.

Triple Sauce: Sever is back up.
