Download OpenTTD 1.2.0-beta3

A third beta release of OpenTTD Version 1.2.0 has been released. In this open source clone of the Microprose game Transport Tycoon Deluxe, the goal is to build a transport empire by road, rail, water and air. OpenTTD can do more than just mimic the original game. For example, up to 64 times larger maps can be used than in the original, the AI ​​is worthy of its name and there is support for multiplayer and ipv6. Downloads are available for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.

New in version 1.2.0 is the possibility to use scripts to develop games with goals to achieve, for example. In addition, the open source graphics have been expanded with additional options and it is possible to zoom in further on the map. The changelog for this third beta looks like this:

New features:

Fixed:

• Return early from SlString() for empty strings, before doing invalid things which surprisingly do not break everything. (r23828)
• The detailed performance rating window showed the cargo count of the current quarter instead of the last quarter like the tooltip says [FS#4972] (r23826)
• Removal of towns with 0 population failed during map generation [FS#4951] (r23819)

• [NewGRF] Resize text panel for parameter description if it does not fit in 4 lines [FS#4960] (r23791)
• [NewGRF] While we can only show one error per NewGRF, fatal errors should always disable the GRF. Also give those errors precedence over other information (r23789)

• [Network] Missing naming or some errors[FS#4963] (r23780)
