To Get Started;

You obviously need an installation of Transport Tycoon Deluxe on your harddrive. If you don't have a copy of your own, you can download it here;

GOOGLE SEARCH ¤ Transport Tycoon Deluxe, (Win)
DOWNLOAD HERE ¤ Transport Tycoon Deluxe Manual

Play TTDP or OTTD?

That's a matter of choice. The patch, (TTDP), has its advantages and so has OpenTT, (OTTD). While TTDP is sort of an update to Transport Tycoon Deluxe, offering a variety of different enhancements, OTTD is an open source version modelled after Transport Tycoon Deluxe, enhancing the game even more. The current development status for TTDP and OTTD is that TTDP has somewhat halted with the latest nightly revision available to be "r2366", and OTTD still being actively developed.

You can find TTDP and OTTD following the links below;

GO HERE ¤ TTDP - Incl. latest nightly revision, r2366-win32
GO HERE ¤ TTDP - Manual

GO HERE ¤ OTTD
GO HERE ¤ OTTD - Manual

Using TTDP you also need the basic graphics to make it work. You can download the latest version here;

DOWNLOAD HERE ¤ TTDP - Basic graphics, (ttdpbase.grf)

In order to prepare your game and make use of the new enhancements provided, you need to configure your game. Transport Tycoon Deluxe (TTDP) can be configured using different methods. One option is to use the TTDX Configurator developed by Andres TTD Solutions, but you can also manually edit your preferred settings. Using OTTD you may need to change options both by editing the config file and the "in-game" Advanced Settings Window. More information available below;

GO HERE ¤ TTDP - TTDX Configurator
GO HERE ¤ TTDP - Configuration Manual

GO HERE ¤ OTTD - Advanced Settings Window
GO HERE ¤ OTTD - Configuration Manual

Adding custom graphics and features;

Transport Tycoon Deluxe wouldn't be a superb game wasn't it for the addition of custom graphics and other features developed over the years by numerous talented artists world wide - no matter you prefer TTDP or OTTD. While some custom graphics and features only works with TTDP and/or OTTD, many of them also works both ways. Apart from here at Simuscape, (visit our Download section), you can also find additional custom files, following the links provided below;

GO HERE ¤ GRF Crawler - TTDP and OTTD
GO HERE ¤ TTD Urban Renewal - TTDP
GO HERE ¤ TTD Knowledge Exchange Portal - TTDP and OTTD
GO HERE ¤ BaNaNaS - OTTD

Adding your own custom graphics?

Perhaps you want to take the challenge and provide your own custom graphics for use with either TTDP or OTTD. Becoming an artist here at Simuscape within our Artists Guild or at any other place out there - unless you prefer to create and develop in your own peaceful environment within your own bounderies at home - is easy and all you need is a graphics tool such as MSPaint, PaintShopPro or Photoshop. Needless to say a high level of patience is most certainly required, and if you feel equipped enough, simply go for it.

It's of course a very good idea to ensure that whatever custom improvements you're making for the game, you can also test it out before handing the files over to the public. There are several tools available, one of them is the GRF Wizard made by Andres TTD Solutions, with additional requirements made by Josef Drexler. With this tool you can decode .grf-files made by others and learn about the file structure. And in a similar way, making your own custom files available to others, you can encode them and they're ready for use.

The GRF Wizard can be downloaded directly from Andres TTD Solutions. Simply follow the link;

GO HERE ¤ GRF Wizard - TTDP and OTTD

Where to put my custom files?

When you've completed a custom file that you want to share with other users of Transport Tycoon Deluxe, you can upload it to, for instance, GRF Crawler and/or the BaNaNaS, (follow links provided above - Adding custom graphics and features). You can also apply for a personal category inside our Downloads section here at Simuscape. Simply send a pm to the Admin, and your new category will be set up and provided for in any time.

Good luck! :)
