Games / Re: Please test - OpenTTD v12.1
« on: July 14, 2025, 09:03:21 pm »
Jan-Erik,

  I have SDL2 installed, but version 2.0.18 (which is not the most recent - that one I had trouble with). I think you need SDL2_Mixer as well, but I have all the SDL2 items installed so not sure.

  The 3 packages can be downloaded from within OpenTTD. The graphics will be downloaded the first time you run OpenTTD. The 2 sound files have to be selected from the 'Check Online Content' dialog to download them. Then you need to go into 'Game Options -> 'Sound' and choose the sound effects and music to use from their drop-down menus.

 Just double-click on openttd.exe to run...

Regards,

Hey Paul,

  Thanks for this! It seems OK, but I still can't get music to play. I do have a MIDI object for WPS playing and I can play the MIDI files for the game from the WPS. Do I need to specify a 'music driver' in openttd.cfg for OS/2?

Regards,

EDIT: I had the idea to try the SoundBlaster 16 emulation and driver because it had MIDI support natively. The SB16 PNP driver from the 5.1.1 install CD installed OK, but on boot it says the SB16D2.SYS driver was not initialized. Anybody ever get the SoundBlaster driver working with VirtualBox?

 Glad it works for you too. Besides the music, the only other thing I found that doesn't work is on the 'Help and Manuals' dialog, on the 'Websites' column everything there will lock the process - I presume because there needs to be a way to open a browser that is not implemented for OS/2.

 I'm using KSoftSeq for MIDI, but maybe SDL doesn't recognize MIDI on OS/2?

Regards,

Martin,

  Yes, I am using UniAud and ArcaOS 5.1.1 in a VBox session too. Did you go into 'Game Options'-> 'Sound' and choose 'OpenFSX' in the 'Base Sounds' drop-down box? Same with 'Base Music' drop-down and 'OpenMSX', but that doesn't seem to work. You can also edit the openttd.cfg file in \Home\OpenTTD by hand. I set my resolution to 1280x960 there to get a larger game screen...

  This is the best OpenTTD I've used yet.


Regards,

It works here too. You need to download sound effects and base music separately (from the 'Check online content' menu). The sound effects work fine here, but I can't get music to play (is it MIDI). Pretty good overall though!

Regards,

EDIT: looks like it need a 'music driver' defined but none of the offered ones worked - and it is MIDI. Wonder if Kai could be used for this...

 Martin,

  Sounds good to me too - didn't want to jump in to your request, but didn't want it to be forgotten either, thanks.

 Working well here too, thanks Dave!

@Martin - FYI, there was a reply and question from textbrowser to your request for a password repository on the Dooble github site that you never answered. Did you see it?

Hi Roderick,

  Would you have any insight into why this driver doesn't work with EFI? I would report to the developer, but don't want to just say 'It doesn't work'...

 Thanks Martin. I don't get a hang, it just doesn't even seem to do anything.

 One thing I noticed I hadn't before - there are new WinOS2 settings for VEFI. Looks like they are probably mostly DOS oriented, but not clear...

 I just installed these drivers on a bare metal EFI system and they don't seem to work (session doesn't start). Anyone else gotten them to work on EFI?

Roderick,

  I mention the 'Above 4GB...' setting because it is something David A. of Arca Noae directed me to change when I had trouble with my new motherboard (B760 chipset, 12th gen i5 CPU) a couple months ago. No idea if it will help Neil directly, but is something to check.

Neil,

  I have never seen a mem /v result where the available high process memory is HIGHER than the available virtual memory. Like Steven says, that seems not right. Do you have all settings in your BIOS that reference 'Above 4GB...' turned off?

Also - what motherboard are you using? A testlog file might also be helpful...

Regards,

Neil,

 Something else must be going on - I am typing this in Dooble on a system that only has 800MB available, using VIRTUALADDRESSLIMIT=2048 and a 2GB swap file. Here's my mem/v while browsing:

[C:\]mem /v

Total physical memory:     32,560 MB
Accessible to system:         824 MB
Additional (PAE) memory:   31,736 MB

Resident memory:              131 MB
Available virtual memory:   2,063 MB

Available process memory:
  Private low memory:         324 MB
  Private high memory:      1,036 MB
  Shared low memory:          238 MB
  Shared high memory:          20 MB

 I was never able to get the 6.2.6 webengine working with QT 6.8. QT 6.6 was the most recent one it worked on. Probably best to just stick to 6.2 for now...
