Yo guys,
How are ya all doing?
Later on today (around 12.00 my time) I will host the first game of OpenTTD that will run (hopefully) uninterrupted for some time.
Since it is Multiplayer Game, we will have some rules and stuff, but I have no idea how to declare a winner or if
I even do a winner or something. Let's just consider it a practice game (and to see how my net holds up),
and maybe the next time I will implement actual goals for us, so we have something to work towards to.
As it is the first game and such, everyone who plays should probably give some feedback so we can make future games run better.
Hamachi is needed to play, ask someone if ya don't know how to do it.
Server name will be YATTA Community Game
So let's get on to some rules and stuff ya need to know about:

So let's get on to some rules and stuff ya need to know about:
GENERAL
- Anybody can drop in and out at any time, and yer company will run itself while ya away.
- Don't forget that industries can close down, so check yer stuff if ya been away for a while.
- Game will start in 1950 and run until 2250 (300 years) [for now, just to see how long it takes in real time].
- Most game vehicles and stuff are standard with small additions like trams and such.
- Many new station tiles have been added so ya can customize the look of yer stations.
- Many new objects have been added so ya can customize some stuff.
- Maximum Company limit is 15 (set by the game, there can never be more than that).
- Spectator Limit is like 30.

RULES
- No land buying apart from one tile width next to stations just in case ya want to expand it in the future.
- Ya can only buy 25% worth of shares of a company
(because anybody can join at any time, it would give advantage to the players who join early),
though ya can buy 25% in every company, just not more than that.
- No intentional blocking of others business like putting Railtracks or Objects all over the place just to block building (like Elliots seagulls).
- No excessive land raising / lowering.
- more stuff???.

LIMITATIONS
- Maximum station spread is 12 tiles (so no stations larger than 12 x 12).
- Maximum Train length is 64 Tiles.
- Maximum Bridge length is 128 Tiles.
- Maximum Bridge height is 32 Tiles.
- Maximum Tunnel length is 192 Tiles.
- Vehicle Limits per player are: 600 Trains, 300 Road Vehicles, 200 Airplanes, 200 Ships.
- Bribing local authority and buying exclusive transport rights have been turned off.
- While game is paused, ya can do everything that is not construction (so ya can still give orders and stuff).
- Sending money to other companies is turned off (so keep an eye on it, since I can't send ya money, and it's also to prevent some cheating).
I guess that's all for now, hope to see ya there. And try to have fun while ya play (with us).
Also, depending on my net, there could be some cut outs here and there, so just keep trying to get back in.
And change yer config file so it has more time to download and process the data, otherwise ya will never be able to join.
It's found in "My documents/OpenTTD/" openttd.cfg Go down to network and jack up the values to about 10000 each or so for
"max_init_time", "max_join_time" and "max_download_time" and save after doing so. And do it before ya run the game.
