About the game
Section titled “About the game”Is Wira Bandar PC the same as OpenTTD?
Section titled “Is Wira Bandar PC the same as OpenTTD?”No. It is a fork of OpenTTD: OpenTTD’s code with changes, not a game made from scratch. It keeps the whole of OpenTTD and adds city-building and public transport features set in Malaysia and Singapore. Compared with OpenTTD lists the differences.
Is it free?
Section titled “Is it free?”Yes. Like OpenTTD, it is free software under the GNU General Public License version 2. The source code is on GitHub.
Do I need OpenTTD installed?
Section titled “Do I need OpenTTD installed?”No. If you have it, Wira Bandar PC uses your OpenTTD settings, saves, graphics, NewGRFs and AIs. If you don’t, it downloads the free OpenGFX graphics the first time (see Download and install).
Does it change my OpenTTD game?
Section titled “Does it change my OpenTTD game?”No. It has its own folder, Documents\Wira Bandar. On the first start it copies your OpenTTD settings
and saves, and it never moves, changes or deletes anything in Documents\OpenTTD. It saves as .csav,
so your .sav files are never overwritten.
Can I open a Wira Bandar game in OpenTTD?
Section titled “Can I open a Wira Bandar game in OpenTTD?”No. .csav saves hold Wira Bandar’s extra data (lights, zones, councils, lines and so on), which
OpenTTD doesn’t know, so OpenTTD doesn’t list them. See Saves.
Is there a version for Mac, Linux, phones or tablets?
Section titled “Is there a version for Mac, Linux, phones or tablets?”Only a 64-bit Windows build is published. The game also builds on Linux from the source code, as OpenTTD does.
Installing and starting
Section titled “Installing and starting”Windows says “Windows protected your PC”
Section titled “Windows says “Windows protected your PC””The program isn’t code-signed. Click More info, then Run anyway. To avoid the warning, right-click the zip before unzipping it, choose Properties, tick Unblock, and click OK.
The main menu says the base graphics set is missing some sprites
Section titled “The main menu says the base graphics set is missing some sprites”That’s expected: the sprites it counts are Wira Bandar’s own new graphics (traffic lights, buildings, buses and so on), which the game loads from its own file. Nothing is missing in the game.
The game asks to download graphics
Section titled “The game asks to download graphics”No graphics set was found. Click Yes, download the graphics to get OpenGFX. If that fails, install it from Online Content or by hand: see Graphics, NewGRFs and AIs.
My NewGRFs are missing
Section titled “My NewGRFs are missing”Wira Bandar PC looks for NewGRFs in its own folder, in Documents\OpenTTD and its content_download
folder, and in C:\Program Files\OpenTTD\newgrf. The very first build didn’t look in
C:\Program Files\OpenTTD yet: if your version (in Help → About ‘Wira Bandar’) ends in
2cafaa4ed5, download the latest zip. If your NewGRFs are somewhere else, copy them into
Documents\Wira Bandar\newgrf, or click Find missing content online in the Load Game window.
My settings or saves from OpenTTD didn’t come over
Section titled “My settings or saves from OpenTTD didn’t come over”They’re copied only on the first start, and only if Documents\OpenTTD had an openttd.cfg then. To copy
again, close the game, delete or rename Documents\Wira Bandar\openttd.cfg and start it. To bring over a
single save, copy it from Documents\OpenTTD\save to Documents\Wira Bandar\save.
Where are my saves and screenshots?
Section titled “Where are my saves and screenshots?”In Documents\Wira Bandar\save (autosaves in save\autosave) and Documents\Wira Bandar\screenshot.
Some text is in English although I chose another language
Section titled “Some text is in English although I chose another language”Wira Bandar’s own text is in English only. The rest of the game is translated as in OpenTTD.
Playing
Section titled “Playing”How do I switch a feature off?
Section titled “How do I switch a feature off?”Most features have an Off setting in Options and settings (the gear) → Game options → Advanced. The settings reference lists them all, and Compared with OpenTTD says which choice plays as in OpenTTD for each feature.
I loaded my OpenTTD save and the roads are jammed
Section titled “I loaded my OpenTTD save and the roads are jammed”Wira Bandar’s town traffic and commuting switch on with an old save, so towns’ cars now fill busy roads, and road vehicles give way at junctions. What helps:
- carry more of the town’s passengers: the more you carry, the fewer cars (up to 60% fewer);
- traffic lights at busy junctions, which let whole queues through on green;
- bus lanes and bus priority, so buses pass the queues;
- the traffic overlay to see where traffic is held up.
To play as before, set Town traffic to Off and switch off Road vehicles give way at junctions (see Saves).
My towns don’t grow the way they used to
Section titled “My towns don’t grow the way they used to”Several new systems shape town growth: zones, city services and happiness, taxes, air pollution, land value, and the new buildings. The town window shows the town’s happiness, its services, its air and its land value, and says when the town isn’t growing. See City services, Zoning and Air pollution and land value.
Do AIs and game scripts work?
Section titled “Do AIs and game scripts work?”Yes, as in OpenTTD. They don’t use Wira Bandar’s features unless they were written for it.
Can I play multiplayer?
Section titled “Can I play multiplayer?”Yes, with other players who run exactly the same build of Wira Bandar PC. It can’t join OpenTTD servers, and OpenTTD players can’t join Wira Bandar games.
Problems and updates
Section titled “Problems and updates”How do I update?
Section titled “How do I update?”Download the zip again and replace the program folder. Your settings and saves stay in
Documents\Wira Bandar, and older saves load in newer builds.
Where do I report a problem?
Section titled “Where do I report a problem?”On Wira Bandar’s GitHub page, not to OpenTTD. Wira Bandar PC is not made or supported by the OpenTTD team, so please don’t report its problems on OpenTTD’s issue tracker, forums or Discord.
