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!

maybe I've placed too many words when basically what I wanted to say was:
- When placing a suggestion, please provide some more info - more detailed, I mean


Actually I think you missed some points. Being myself an custom client maintainer, the main issue here is the definition of what belongs to the Btpro client.
  • o First of all any feature that breaks the compatibily between the vanilla server and the client is to be made to Openttd devs.
    Example:

    Silly Sad wrote: my suggestion is to solve the boats' problem once and for all.
    and to do so we need to rethink the pathfinder completely -- i suggest brand new approach to the pathfinding on open flat spaces such is sea.

  • o Any feature that is usefull in every game, not only the ones hosted here, should be first suggested to Openttd dev team. ( Suggest here )
    If it was already suggested and it was refused/ignored, but you still think it is useful post it here.(with the proof it was refused/ignored by the openttd dev team, please)
  • o If the feature is useful for the Btpro servers, and maybe not so useful for the others, you are in the right place! ;)

Here's a suggestion: Send a hashed password when retrieving a login token. Or just send it to a https via post instead of get...
sending to http server:
http://openttd.btpro.nl/gettoken.php?user=<User>&password=<YourPasswordInPlaintext>

the suggestion is quite very good and only stumbles in couple limitations:
- requires a new/changed gettoken.php file (on how it works and communicates with database - by my side is a personal limitation - I have no clue how todo that ^^);
- I guess https is out of question due the cost of a SSL Certificate (since I'm a noob on that things, correct me if needed);

and yes, your password is sent in Plain Text via http, and that's why we always recommend players use a password that they don't use in any other services to IF someone discovers your BTPro password the damages are limited here. For now it's the solution we're using (it doesn't invalidate your first suggestion) and any issue can be reported to BTPro admins - and we'll start tracking IP's used on a reported account (for example).

Thank you for your suggestions :)

you dont have to pay for a certificate -- you can yourself issue a certificate for your server.

There's also StartSSL (free + signed): www.startssl.com/?app=1

The code in src/network/core/tcp_http.cpp, however, only allows you to make HTTP requests. To use HTTPS openssl/libcurl/... would be required.
