OpenTTD in Port menu

[kemo87]

Hi,
i have idea for a new game to port menu. I think OpenTTD is very popular, lets try add it.

Hi.

I have installed OpenTTD (via sudo apt-get install openttd ), however I can’t get it to run from the terminal – I receive an error message stating:

Error: Couldn’t find any suitable video driver

Does anyone know how to run this from command line so it can be implemented into Emulation Station?

I have tried using the runcommand script line in the normal manner (used for other ports), which, if I understand correctly, is a way to easily get access to the framebuffer, however when trying that it does not bring anything up at all, not even the error message?

Any help appreciated.

Cheers.
Steve

I think it needs x to run

Doh! Typical. Although I am sure I have read that others have ran it from terminal? Maybe I need to build it from source rather than using debian package route? hmmm…

[herbfargus]

It’s possible, I could be wrong. Just from personal experience the vast majority of Linux games need some form of x to run.

Maybe I will say something completely stupid, but is it possible to make it run with x by using the xinit command from the terminal?

WOW…openTTD is now in experimental menu. Thanks guys..

Still needs graphics and sound plugins installed from the built in installer. I may look at automating those in the future, but at least it’s up and running for now.
