It should just be in your main Openttd Folder. Same place as openttd.exe seems to be. Open it into notepad

(Thats where it is on my computer anyway)

That's where it is for every Windows OpenTTD install, assuming you've run Open at least once.

As DaleStan has already said:

If openttd.cfg can't be found when the game is run, it will be created.

Ive already run the game several times...

you surely have "hide extensions" active...
search for a file named openttd which isn't the executable and try to open it using notepad

the only possible thing i found was a microsoft office file, it had nothing at the end of it (no .cfg)

so heres what it looks like

[misc]
display_opt = SHOW_TOWN_NAMES|SHOW_STATION_NAMES|SHOW_SIGNS|FULL_ANIMATION|FULL_DETAIL|WAYPOINTS
news_display_opt = 2862654565
news_ticker_sound = true
fullscreen = false
language = english.lng
resolution = 637,480
screenshot_format =
savegame_format =
rightclick_emulate = false

[win32]
display_hz = 0
force_full_redraw = false
fullscreen_bpp = 8
double_size = false

[network]
max_join_time = 500
pause_on_join = true
server_bind_ip = 0.0.0.0
server_port = 3979
server_advertise = false

and heres the end of it

autorenew = false
autorenew_months = 4294967290
autorenew_money = 100000
population_in_label = true
link_terraform_toolbar = false

[currency]
rate = 1
separator = "."
to_euro = 0
prefix = ""
suffix = " credits"

[servers]

[bans]

is that it?

Yep. You have hide-extensions-for known-filetypes on, and that thoroughly brilliant MSOffice install that thinks it invented the .cfg extension.

So, other than blathering on about how MS do things, are you actually going to advise ervin2 on how to get his newgrf working??

Wasn't the problem that Ervin couldn't find openttd.cfg?
Didn't Ervin just find openttd.cfg?

I would have thought that that meant that the problem was solved.

Wolf01 · Post by **Wolf01** » 30 Jun 2006 17:56

don't open the .cfg with msoffice, it can break the file by adding some hidden chars, use notepad or notepad++ insted, with the second one you can also set it as the default program for that extension directly from the program

ervin2 · Post by **ervin2** » 01 Jul 2006 04:05

well prob solved, thanks.

As per forum regs, maximum sig height is 45px, yours appears to be 95px over that

To see extensions again (in WinXP):

Open any directory with explorer (It can be even "My Computer" or "C:\")

Find "Tools" menu (I don't have english version of widows, but it is the one left to the "Help" menu)

Click on the last item, below the horizontal line - "Folder options..." (perhaps?)

Go to the second tab "View"

Disable "Hide system files", "Hide extensions of known filetypes", and select "Show all hidden files"

Hello All!
Is possible to use for example 5 kinds of train sets ? I just want to have international trains in game ( Dutch trains,Hungarian,DB,Serbian,Czech trains...) but it doesn't get.
I have opened openttd.cfg and wrote under [newgrf] names of the sets but something is wrong and i don't know what.
Can someone help me please ? Thanks

1.Dont write the sets in the newgrf section of openttd.cfg, use the ingame configuration window instead.
2.Do you have the engine pool activated?
3.Youre now officially a Gravedigger

you can. But most likely the result will not be what you intend to get as there can be a lot of unwanted cross-talk between those NewGRF. Use the 2cc Train Set instead. It has trains from all around the world.

It works

!! ...and it was too simple...

Thanks
