<br />
===Original Transport Tycoon Deluxe data (optional)===<br />
OpenTTD can utilize the non-free graphics and sound data of the original Windows/DOS version of Transport Tycoon Deluxe.<br />
<br />
====Where to get the data====<br />
If you wish to play OpenTTD with the non-free TTD base graphics and sounds, you will need several files from either the Windows/DOS version of Transport Tycoon Deluxe.<br />
<br />
You can get these files from the game CD-ROM, from an existing install or you get them from the freely available game installation archive available at [http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/240 Abandonia].<br />
<br />
====Graphics and sound effects====<br />
Copy the following files to /usr/share/openttd/data/<br />
* trg1r.grf or TRG1.GRF<br />
* trgcr.grf or TRGC.GRF<br />
* trghr.grf or TRGH.GRF<br />
* trgir.grf or TRGI.GRF<br />
* trgtr.grf or TRGT.GRF<br />
* sample.cat<br />
<br />
====Music====<br />
The free music set [http://dev.openttdcoop.org/projects/openmsx OpenMSX] can be installed directly from the in-game download manager.<br />
<br />
If you wish to listen to the original music (Windows version only),<br />
Copy the files from the gm folder of the original TTD game directory to:<br />
/usr/share/openttd/gm/<br />
<br />
{{note|If your sound driver does not support MIDI natively, you will need to install [[timidity]] (configuring a sound sample is enough).}}<br />
<br />
==Tutorial==<br />
The game can be quite confusing at first. A good tutorial is available on the wiki [http://wiki.openttd.org/Tutorial here].<br />
<br />
For an in-game tutorial, a game script has been implemented. Just download 'Beginner Tutorial' with the in-game download manager and load the 'Beginner Tutorial' scenario.<br />
<br />
==Configuration==<br />
The OpenTTD main configuration file is located at ~/.openttd/openttd.cfg and is automatically created upon first startup.<br />
<br />
Various settings in the configuration file can be edited with buttons on the main menu. Each button is explained below.<br />
<br />
===Game Options===<br />
This window allows you to set options which will be used by default at the start of a new game.<br />
<br />
{{note|Settings will not be updated for games which have already been started. The options can still be changed in-game.}}<br />
<br />
You can also set the default graphics, sound, and music here.<br />
<br />

This window allows you to change the difficulty of the game, and specific options about them. You can either use the difficulty presets by selecting the difficulty buttons at the top of the window, or set custom options.<br />
<br />
