TTD Night

[BiG D]

I think it's about time we had a nice big game of TTD again. I'm leaning towards a Tuesday night, though sometime during the weekend would likely work as well. Does anyone wanting to play have specific times that would work for them?

 

[Traxata]

Should be able to do most evenings (may need to make sure I have the game patched though )

 

[Ki!ler-Mk1]

Does this still suffer from unnoticed desync?

 

[Angelic]

You mean OpenTTD, is that right? If so, I may be interested, however I don't really know too much about it... Will try it out though and see what I remember from giving it a shot a couple years back!

 

[BiG D]

Yes, openTTD. http://www.openttd.org/en/ for anyone who doesn't have it. I believe it even has all its own art and sound now so you don't need to dig up a copy of the original game.

Looks like 1.0.5 just came out, so we'll likely be using that version.

Unfortunately they don't do the mac version any more so I either have to build from source, use the VM or the PC instead of being able to use it natively on my laptop.

I am defo up for this! Not sure when is best to happen, but if people can let me know what version they are using I can build a native version for bacon and I. (Assuming I can work out which SVN tag it's using!)

 

[BiG D]

We might as well stick with 1.0.5

*Wonder if I still have my compile environment on the mac book*

Also, coop/competitive/healthy mix?

Is it worth me putting up a server on prom for this?

 

[BiG D]

I would say 'mix'. I'd probably prefer to play as my own corp, but if everyone else wants to be in the same corp that's fine

Server on prom sounds like a needless amount of work, unless no one wants to host themselves...

 

[VibroAxe]

I was more thinking it could run for longer... and we dont have the issue of someone running off with the savegame file

Also, Not having been involved in that last one of these, do people tend to play agressivly or not?

 

[BiG D]

I tend to just try to build the largest monstrosity of a rail system I can.

I'd recommend we run with a general "don't be a dick" honour system and hopefully that covers everything.

 

[VibroAxe]

MMMMM Giant mainline!

You're not doing it properly till you have full on dual track mainline!

Bacon> MLS Transport shall be profitable once again?

 

[BiG D]

So as far as schedule goes, does anyone see a problem with Friday night? Somewhere around 19:00 GMT?

 

[VibroAxe]

S' Good for me!

 

[VibroAxe]

Anyone who happens to be in the Stevenage area is welcome to bring a laptop or PC and come round mine, we've done it before and it's usually quite a laugh! Pizza and beer can be arrange, and limited quantities of bed! Anyone interested?

Bacon, i'm counting you in already

Bacon, i'm counting you in already

Shall I bring proj or is that a little OTT?

 

[Traxata]

Shall I bring proj or is that a little OTTd?

Fixed

 

[VibroAxe]

We have tv?

Unfortunately they don't do the mac version any more so I either have to build from source, use the VM or the PC instead of being able to use it natively on my laptop.

For any intel mac users out there

That ensures we are all playing on the same version
