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!

Passengers/Mail payments 6 years 1 week ago #6865
|
Many of our multiplayer (MP) servers currently use the "Reduced Passenger Payment" (reducedPassengerPayment.grf) newgrf to balance gameplay. It's well known that Passengers/Mail gives a big boost on profit, and when not modded (with newgrf's, in this case), it's the only fast and reliable way to win in some goal servers.
The previously mentioned newgrf simply cut passgengers/mail payment by half - it was very good to balance most of the goal servers (mostly Company Value based). Some months ago "Passenger and Mail Payment Rates v1.5" (pampc1.5.grf) newgrf was released. Looked promising and single player (SP) tests were made. Couple weeks ago I was able to resume them and conclusion is: appears to be ready for MP games! Since "Passenger and Mail Payment Rates v1.5" allows to adjust percentage of payment, I've put server #9 as our online "guinea" - and as the previous newgrf simply cut payments to half, this one was set to 50/50 for passengers/mail. Basically should work the exact same way, with the difference that now allow us to make adjustments, when, and if needed. If all works as expected, this newgrf would be applied to all other servers using the old "reducedPassengerPayment.grf". On the game side people won't notice the change (ofc, the need of a new "grf" file), but will allow us to refine competitiveness and fairness in BTPro games. It's my opinion and always trying to keep games competitive, fun and fair, where, depending on the map, isn't all related to grow towns and make pax (passengers & mail) lines. Easiest way to get the newgrf, READ THIS . As said, for now only server #9 has it. On the next days others servers using the old, will be upgraded to the new "grf". After download it once all should be fine ^^ Suggestions, ideas, complaints, beer and cookies are always welcome! Enjoy the games Edit: no crashes, even with AI's tested, putting it on other servers, DONE! And..., scoreMultiplier on #11 was increased from 55% to 75% - Lets see if anyone reads this  |
