Hi All,
http://smedley.id.au/tmp/openttd-1.10.3-os2-20200903.zip
This is the current release of Open Transport Tycoon for OS/2
Note this is binaries only - it's necessary to install a set of graphics/sounds/etc from https://www.openttd.org/downloads/openttd-releases/latest.html
I've only tested enough to see the main page opens.
Also needs sdl 1.2 libraries.
Cheers,
Paul

Thanks Paul. I will try it out.
I was checking your website and it seems that the "subcategory" of the software on this page is not working:

Hello
I wanted to try this game.
But the installation is making me difficult.
The necessary library says it is the * sdl * but by another place I have seen that it says the * SDL *,
the question is which of the two?
I have tried both and it does not start me.
On the other hand, it says that you have to edit the * openttd.cfg * file, but I can't find it.
[D:\openttd-1.10.3-os2-20200903]dir open*
The volume label in drive D is DATS.
The Volume Serial Number is B4A7:75BD.

Hi Robert.
Can you post which SDL12.DLL version and byte size do you have installed?
Regards

OK I think I reproduced. No idea why that was happening - I did some random stuff in cms made simple and it seems ok now?

Thanks for the zip, but I can't start, I'm about to leave it as impossible.

That suggests an incompatible sdl12.dll with different exports to the one I linked against.
Can you check with sdl12 is being loaded using chkdll32 or pmdll?
-
With the pmdll all the dlls are displayed fine.
With the chkdll32, it shows this error:
[D:\openttd-1.10.3-os2-20200903]chkdll32 -l openttd.exe
File is not a valid OS/2 .EXE or .DLL file ******this is the error show******
Loading DLL 'libcx0' --> C:\USR\LIB\LIBCX0.DLL. ****** The rest is a long list of dlls, which is all ok. I cut it *******
Loading DLL 'DOSCALLS' --> loaded.
Loading DLL 'MDM' --> C:\MMOS2\DLL\MDM.DLL.
Loading DLL 'MMPM' --> C:\MMOS2\DLL\MMPM.DLL.
Loading DLL 'DOSCALLS' --> loaded.

Hi Paul
Cannot test OTTD as I do not have the needed graphics files.
I can test https://os2ports.smedley.id.au/index.php?page=games and report that No, it does not work.
Using Seamonkey there is no content below the line "This section contains all ported games and related applications" and the menu on the left has Internet apps listed or, sometimes, Tools and Utilities but not Games.
Regards
Pete
-
Here, the menu on the left seems to work, but no actual games listed on the games page.

re: website, I'll keep investigating, I have no idea what's wrong with cms made (not so) simple :(
-
Paul, Thanks, but it's just a game, and I don't even know if I'd like it, don't put in any more effort, unless you
feel like it, of course. It was mostly out of curiosity and to support your work.

re: website, I'll keep investigating, I have no idea what's wrong with cms made (not so) simple :(
well it ain't pretty - but I moved all the content from CMS made Simple to wordpress - new site now at https://os2ports.smedley.id.au - should be functional except for a couple of placeholders (like the GCC 9.x page)
-
Paul, to my eyes the new site looks a bit ugly :-). Fonts are much to big. Maybe useful for smartphone kiddies but not for standard computer users. See picture.
-
Hi
In my case, I found the structure of the site working fine, and that is the important thing on wordpress, since the style (theme) can be changed without much problem.
Maybe I can suggest Paul to play a little bit with different themes, but it is excellent to have the pages and links working.
Regards

Hey Andi,
Paul, to my eyes the new site looks a bit ugly :-). Fonts are much to big. Maybe useful for smartphone kiddies but not for standard computer users. See picture.
As I said "well it ain't pretty". Now that I have the content moved over, I'll play around with different themes and font sizes etc. The end goal here was to make the site easier to update. Wordpress is way easier to use than CMSMS.
There's a reason the old site hadn't been updated in a year - and it's got nothing to do with me not updating things.
Cheers,
Paul

I did a very quick and dirty change to a different theme - which seems to look 'prettier'. Will play more tonight.

Looks pretty good here, works fine with scripting disabled too.

Hey Dave,
Looks pretty good here, works fine with scripting disabled too.
Thanks for the feedback - the theme I changed to is definitely more readable. I'll admit I only checked it last night with latest Chrome on linux, and at lunchtime I tweaked the theme with Chrome on Windows 10 - I hadn't had a chance to check with Firefox (on OS/2, Windows or Linux).
Cheers,
Paul
