Instructions

[ Installation ]

Note: This game takes quite long to load (~15 seconds). But it is worth the wait!

The public domain graphics and sound sets from www.openttd.org are included.

If you want the choice to also use the original dos game graphics and sounds, copy over the files

SAMPLE.CAT
TRHCOM.GRF
TREND.GRF
TRTITLE.GRF
TRG1.GRF
TRGC.GRF
TRGH.GRF
TRGI.GRF
TRGT.GRF

from an original TTD game to /switch/openttd/baseset/.

To install the original music, copy over all files

gm/gm_ttxx.gm (xx are numbers)

from the folder gm from the original windows version of the game to /switch/openttd/gm/.

You then get the choice to select original dos graphics, sounds, and music when you go to the game settings dialog.

[ Controls ]

*   Left analog stick = mouse pointer control
*   D-Pad or right analog stick = scrolling the map.
*   A/right trigger = left mouse click
*   B/left trigger = right mouse click
*   Y = zoom-in
*   X = zoom-out
*   Double click A / double click right trigger over a text field = bring up on-screen keyboard
*   The touch screen is used for indirect mouse input, like on a laptop touchpad. Move a single finger to move the mouse pointer. Use short tap for left click. Hold a single finger while tapping a second finger for right click. Drag with two fingers to drag and drop.
