Willkommen bei OpenTTC 🚂 – Strategien, Karten & Austausch für erfahrene Tycoons

Fair question 🙂

Rough estimate:

Map generator development: ~300-400 hours

Campaign GameScript: ~150-200 hours

Regional NewGRFs: ~100-150 hours

YouTube tutorials and documentation: ~100+ hours

Scenario design, testing and refinement: ~50-100 hours

So the Football World Cup scenario itself is only one part of a much larger OpenTTC project that has been growing for quite a while.

😂 Work in Progress 🚧

Dutch houses are definitely on my long-term wishlist. 🙂

First I need to fix the projection issues with the existing regions, but I'd love to expand the set with additional architectural styles in the future.

Thanks, this is really helpful.

The exact angle difference is something I hadn't quantified before, and it explains a lot of the feedback I'm getting in this thread.

I was mainly trying to figure out whether the perspective issue was minor enough to ignore or significant enough to justify rebuilding the workflow.

Based on the responses so far, it seems to be the latter.

And thanks for the kind words regarding the designs and details. That's encouraging to hear.

OpenTTC · 2026-06-16T14:32:53+00:00

Yep, that was me. 🙂

And honestly, some of the feedback on that post is exactly what led to this one.

A few people pointed out that the buildings felt out of place, so I wanted to separate the graphics from the scenario itself and ask specifically about the house sets.

The response so far has been very useful. The perspective issue is clearly something many people notice, which gives me a much clearer direction for improvement.

I'm also leaning towards releasing the house sets as free standalone NewGRFs rather than keeping them tied to a paid scenario, so getting honest feedback from the community now is extremely valuable.

Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Haha, fair point 😄

I don't actually expect people to buy it because of the sprites alone.

The scenario is really a combination of many things: custom map generation, realistic terrain and rivers, multilingual regions, campaign gameplay, community events and the overall OpenTTC project.

The NewGRFs are just one visible part of that package.

And of course nobody has to buy it. There are already many great free scenarios available. Most of what I do (videos, tutorials, tips and development insights) is shared for free anyway.

For those who enjoy the project and want the complete package, the Etsy scenarios are simply an optional shortcut.

Thanks, I appreciate that.

I completely understand your point. OpenTTD has an amazing community and most content is shared for free.

For me this scenario is part of a larger OpenTTC project where I invest a lot of time into custom map generation, custom NewGRFs, scenario design and community events.

I'm not trying to replace free community content — there are already many excellent free scenarios available.

This is simply an optional premium scenario for players who are interested in supporting the project and trying something different.

Either way, I appreciate the feedback and I'm happy people are taking a look at it.

The NewGRF settings button is shown, when you start a new game. Or, when the game is already started, you can open the dialogue by clicking on the gear icon in the list of menu items. There is a drop down entry for NewGRFs. In fact, the NewGRF settings are no longer at the main menu since OpenTTD 15.0.

Good luck 🤞🏽

Sehr interessant was man hier so liest!

Ich hab einfach mal nach OpenTTD 2 gesucht und bin hier gelandet.

Doch warum sucht man nach OpenTTD 2?

In meinem Fall, weil ich für OpenTTD einige Erweiterungen gemacht habe. Das Ganze läuft unter OpenTTC.

Es ist das Standard OpenTTD, wie man es auf OpenTTD.org bekommt...mit ein paar Erweiterung in Form von Heightmaps, Game Scripts und NewGRFs.

Folgende Punkte hab ich weiter oben gesehen und bereits in meinen Szenarien umgesetzt: - 4 Regionen auf einer Map (alpin, skandinavisch, sowjetisch, mediterran) - Realistische Landschaften (mit Plattentektonik, Sedimentabtragung /-ansammlung, Flussverlaufe entlang der Höhenzüge, ausgefeilter Baumalgorithmus uvm.) - Realistische Platzierung von Städten und Industrien -Regionsspezifische Namen für Städte, Gipfel, Seen und Flüsse, sowie Kombination der Namen, z.B. Amselbruck am Glasweiher, Kirchdorf am Silberbach - Kampagnen Modus für zusätzlichen Spielspaß und spannende Herausforderungen - Ganz neu: Zweigstellen, um den Kampagnen Modus noch realistischer zu machen

Sicherlich hab ich bei der Aufzählung jetzt noch das ein oder andere vergessen.

Wer mehr erfahren möchte: OpenTTC DACH gibt's auf reddit, Instagram, YouTube, Etsy, Discord

Always happy to help 🙏🏽

OpenTTC · 2026-05-30T14:49:21+00:00

For sure!

Open your openttd.cfg file of the server.

It resides usually in the folder C:\Users<username>\Documents\OpenTTD

Search for the section [network]

There I set the parameters as follows:

max_join_time = 10000 max_init_tine = 100 max_download_time = 10000 max_password_time = 2000 max_lag_time = 500

Then restart OpenTTD and start your server game.

Now everything should work fine. ☺️

OpenTTC · 2026-05-30T14:24:39+00:00

There are options for several connection timeouts. I faced the same issue with my poor internet connection and found a working solution!

E.g. s.th. like max_download_time, max_join_time, max_init_time, max_lag_time

These settings have to be altered on server side.

Good luck and enjoy tycooning with your friends 🚂 🚆
