Welcome to the BTPro OpenTTD Community

This community was build around the game: OpenTTD
OpenTTD is an (Free) open source simulation game based upon Transport Tycoon Deluxe


 

!!! Please note that a few servers have been shut-down !!!
Most of the times these servers were doing nothing (no players),
that's why I've decided to slim down the number of OpenTTD servers running.

I have made a selection to keep the most popular servers online.
If you miss a OpenTTD server that you REALLY played a lot, please do post
in the forums. I will then check if I can get it back online!

I'm trying to work from now on with only 1 physical server to
run all OpenTTD instances!

The following servers have been shut down recently:

1, 2, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15 & 18

Currently we have 4 Server Operators:

Frank, ST2, Wacko1976, Inscius!

We are badly looking for moderators!

Want to be part of the team?! Want to help?! Read below...


 
NOTE:
Admins will act on the basis that ALL players know the game and it's mechanics.
We think that no one goes to an online game without first some practice and know how to play it.
Companies without registered nicknames (as shown in Client List) on it, can be reset without warning!
To learn OpenTTD mechanics, there is a forum/wiki and... a Single Player mode!!
Practice before playing on BTPro, and if you decide to start, READ THE RULES first.


 
If you wish to become part of the BTPro Server Operator family, ensuring that the rules are upheld with fairly and justly,
the willingness to teach new players on how to play the game and to make sure BTPro is one of the most relaxed,
entertaining servers out there for OpenTTD then apply in the Moderator Applications section below!

Also do not hesitate to ask us a question in the forums or when you see us online on one of the servers!

Happy Gaming!

Voting to restart map excessively? 9 years 7 months ago #3627

I once saw someone on the IRC channel !voterestart for almost half an hour, is that allowed?
The intent was to get a favourable map..
Do you think this should be allowed or not?

I have the IRC channel logs if anyone wants them.

Yeah, I've seen people doing that quite often - the only real way to stop it would be to disable the !voterestart command, and it's more annoying (for me anyway), than actual cheating. If I see it happening repeatedly, I'll generally jump on to the server so that the vote won't automatically pass.

ST2 might be able to shed more light on whether the constant restarting does anything to affect the server loads or anything like that.

Voting to restart map excessively? 9 years 7 months ago #3629

well, on the server side, that's "peanuts", won't harm the loads

and yes, can be annoying a player constantly restarting a server trying to get a "perfect map" (it's cascades that mostly does that ^^) but to be honest, it don't bothers me, with one condition: since player don't enter with several clones to force a map restart.

My opinion is based on the fact that maps are built randomly. Towns and industries placement can define what's a "good or bad map", but not at the point of being considered a cheat (because it doesn't depend on the player actions but of the map generator). So, personally, I don't see an unfair advantage for the player that searches the "perfect map", and when it founds one, map items are there to him and any other player that joins and plays the map.
well, there's some players that prefer spend 1/2 or 1 hour restarting the server, trying to get a better map, instead of playing. Since don't break the above condition, all fine with me :)
