We started a new Pro Zone game now and I am glad I was able to join it. I am extremely busy and preparing for exams (if you haven’t heard that yet) and therefor the blog isn’t too active anymore. Though I love to play and the new scenario sounds promising: “a lo largo del río” means along the river, and that is our newest scenario. We are looking a bit for another roleplay game. Because of the lousy technique we are not able to cross the river with trains, but fortunately ferries were invented recently. Three bigger cities established with their neighbors on the other side harbors to transfer goods, passengers and all other fundamental resources required in an rough environment like deserts are. Deserts are dangerous and therefor the builders stick to the river, yes, along the river.

Since OpenTTD 0.6.x, this feature is possible for stable releases, too. So we can publish this almost a year old draft. 😉

I liked to clean my OTTD installations, because new build supports cool features for that. In past I “managed” my OTTDs (different revisions) with symlinks, but with windows i.e., its not possible.

So here is a tiny howto, how to keep many OTTDs without too much redundancy:

Hey folks,

quite some improvements have been done to a lot of newgrf since the last release. Also the creators of the 2cc set are prodding us to use and test their creation – the 2cc train set. So we took the opportunity and gathered all changes and combined them in a new release.
