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!

I love the CityBuilder BTPro servers! It is great to see them still running (albeit much quieter than they used to be). Thank you to everyone who helps keep them online.

The last couple of games I played on server 15 ended prematurely when "The server closed the session". It is frustrating and makes me nervous to start another game in case it happens again. Does anyone know what happened to cause that?

Is there a way I can play offline with all the same game mechanics? Even better, is there a way I could make my own variations, such as changing the start date?

There's been a bug recently where players sometimes get kicked when the server detects that the goal has been reached, maybe that is what you've experienced?
If so, it's not a big problem, points still get handed out correctly.

Or do you mean that game end has somehow been triggered prematurely? If so that is not an issue I'm familiar with.

As for playing citybuilder offline, there are a numer of city builder scripts that can be downloaded through the "check online content" menu, which can then be applied and configured via the AI/Game script settings. Though I'm not sure which specific script we're using or whether it's even available via the in-game downloader.

I was playing alone, about an hour in, on about 4k population. I don't know what triggered it. When I rejoined the server, the map was empty and back at the start. I don't care about points, I only play for fun, but I get sad when a game ends before it is supposed to.

Thank you for telling me about AI/Game script settings. I downloaded a game script called CityBuilder. It looks interesting. I don't think I can use it to recreate the games on BTPro exactly though, which is what I really would like.

The server restarts automatically if an hour has passed and there aren't any companies, so if it was around an hour in as you said, it may have been that the server failed to recognise that you had a company.
We had a bug like this that occured frequently around a year ago, but I haven't heard of it since.

I had a look through the logs, and you had a game around ten days ago where it looks like you just joined and then didn't do anything until the server restarted, so if this was the game you're talking about then it looks like that is exactly what happened.

As for what caused it I don't know unfortunately, thought that bug was fixed. Since this is the first I'm hearing of it, it's hopefully rare.

Yes that would be it. I just played it again and completed it with no problems.

This just happened again, an hour in. Why is the server not recognising that I have a company?
