Ttd2x Updated - Touchscreen Support And More!

[senquack]

Transport Tycoon Deluxe ported to the GP2X.
by ZodTTD and Senor Quack
build 012408

GP2X.DE Archive Link

With zodttd's approval, I recently took some time to help him get TTD2X using the F200's touchscreen. I must say, it works like a dream on the F200s! I also made a few additional improvements that will help even F100 users:

Build 01-24-08:
- Codebase migrated from 0.5.0-RC5 to latest OpenTTD stable release, 0.5.3
- Touchscreen support added for F200 users, including left-handers.
- Cursor movement speed has been reduced slightly, but now speeds up when the START key is held down.
- Added hotkeys for landscaping tool, zoom-in/out, auto-rail tool, and transparency toggle for buildings/trees.
- Sound buffer size reduced to 256 bytes to fix sound lag.
- Over a dozen scenarios are now included.

Be sure to read the included README.TXT for installation requirements!
This game requires the original data files from Transport Tycoon Deluxe. It is most compatible with the Windows version's data files.

(This screenshot is of an older build, the toolbar is actually only one row now, with more playfield area thanks to zodttd's efforts)

PocketPC, Palm, and SmartPhone releases of OpenTTD can be found at zodttd's sites: http://esoftinteractive.com/openttd.html and www.zodttd.com

NEW CONTROLS:
As of build 012408, controls have improved even more. F200's with touchscreen are now supported.
TTD2X's control layout differs depending on which of three launch scripts are executed:

1.) TTD2X.GPE: for F100 users or those with F200s that don't want to use the stylus:

L TRIGGER: Left click
R TRIGGER: Right click
STICK/D-PAD: Move cursor
VOL DOWN: Control key
VOL UP: Shift key
A/B/X/Y: Scroll playfield
R TRIG. + X: Zoom out playfield
R TRIG. + Y: Zoom in playfield
R TRIG. + A: Autorail tool
R TRIG. + B: Make buildings/trees transparent
R TRIG. + SELECT: Landscaping tool
SELECT: Remove non-vital windows
START: Speed-up cursor movement

2.) TTD2X_RH.GPE: For right-handed F200 touchscreen users.
L TRIGGER: Control key
R TRIGGER: Shift key
D-PAD: Scroll playfield
VOL DOWN: Right click
VOL UP: Left click (intentional, as it is easier to press VOL UP than VOL DOWN)
L TRIG. + DOWN: Zoom out playfield
L TRIG. + UP: Zoom in playfield
L TRIG. + LEFT: Autorail tool
L TRIG. + RIGHT: Make buildings/trees transparent
A/B/X/Y: Move cursor (shouldn't be needed)
SELECT: Remove non-vital windows
START: Landscaping tool

3.) TTD2X_LH.GPE: For left-handed F200 touchscreen users.

L TRIGGER: Shift key
R TRIGGER: Control key
D-PAD: Move cursor (shouldn't be needed)
VOL DOWN: Landscaping tool
VOL UP: Remove non-vital windows
A/B/X/Y: Scroll playfield
R TRIG. + X: Zoom out playfield
R TRIG. + Y: Zoom in playfield
R TRIG. + A: Autorail tool
R TRIG. + B: Make buildings/trees transparent
SELECT: Left click
START: Right click


*NOTE* Volume control buttons aren't necessary, as accessed easily in the game's GUI.
Look for the sound icon on the far right of the toolbar when playing the game.

So does this require the original transport tycoon data files, or does it use the openttd ones?

Be sure to read the included README.TXT for installation requirements!
This game requires the original data files from Transport Tycoon Deluxe. It is most compatible with the Windows version's data files.

It looks like you need the original files. The readme will have more information.

If you have data files that work with OpenTTD then they will work with OpenTTD on the GP2X.

[paxl13]

Damn !!1, I'd soo like for it !!!

but I don't think I can justify this with my GirlFriend [ As I own a NDS/PSP/Gp2x + too much table console ]

I'll see

paxl13

But thanks for the refining of the port !

Can I ask something ?

Would it be possible to add the functionaly of Displacing window like in linux, holding alt and you can move the window by clicking anywhere ? This would add the possibility of chosing something in the difficulty dialog box !

Also, Thanks a lot for your port =)

Is it possible to change controls? I don´t like vol+- for mouse clicks, i prefer L & R

Thanks

I'll look into the possibility. I'm am considering that, as well as two other alternatives: 1.) adding a key-combo to change resolution to 640x480 with a panned viewport, like the original port, that is used just for difficulty and patch options screens. 2.) creating a separate utility to allow you to change difficulty and patch options (last resort option)

I might add custom control support, we'll see.. Any suggestions for one or two more hotkey combinations I should add? I might be able to squeeze another in.

 

[b._.o._.b]

Also like L+ R for mouse clicks more, For that purpose I've used the F100 version It worked pretty good with touchscreen and L + R for the mouse clicks. Haven't played it long enough to notice any possible disadvantages.

Thanks for the F200 support Senor Quack.

This idea would be perfect, simple and effective. This would make the whole game to resize itself when pressed, maybe hardcore to do... Anyway, after looking at the hotkey I can't find any more usefull than those mapped. If you want to see, I saw in the readme of the psp version that the window moving by clicking anywhere has been implanted. I don't have a PSP with a custom FW so I can't try if it works

Thanks a lot for your hard works on this game, I only start to be able to play. One of my OLDest game I've played a lot was A-Train by the Maxis compagny, similar but less hardcore than TTD. TTD's excellent !

Thanks

Good eyes regarding the latest PSP version, I just downloaded their source, hopefully it uses SDL like TTD2X.

EDIT Oh, yeah, this looks like it's gonna be just a cut-n'-paste job to get this easy movement of any window. I'll also add a hotkey for bringing up the cheat screen.

Transport Tycoon Deluxe ported to the GP2X.

Firstly, many thanks for this. I've never played it before, but this is definitely on my list!

Secondly, a suggestion - why not remove the following superfluous files:

Readme.txt (not the same as README.TXT)
Runme!.reg

For those wishing to get the datafiles, a quick google is your friend...
http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=transport+tycoon+deluxe

Are you not allowed to include the data files, etc, in the main distribution?
