Your first game

A new game in Wira Bandar PC starts like one in OpenTTD. This page shows what to choose for a Malaysian or Singaporean setting, and where the new tools are once you’re in.

Start a new game

1. In the main menu, click New Game. The World Generation window opens.

2. Pick the climate: the first picture (temperate) or the third (sub-tropical). The Malaysian and Singaporean buildings are built in these two climates. In the sub-arctic and toyland climates, towns build OpenTTD’s buildings.

3. Choose a Map size and No. of towns. States form around the biggest towns, with about one state capital for every six towns, so a map with a dozen towns or more gives you several states.

4. For a region run like Sabah and Sarawak, you need a second land across the sea (or behind a narrow neck of land) with at least two towns: a higher Sea level and Map edges set to water make that likely. See Federal territories and regions.

5. Click Generate.

The World Generation window. The values shown are just an example.

Which new features are on

In a new game, these are on unless you change them first (Game Options → Advanced → Environment → Towns, in the main menu):

Feature	Default
Town traffic	Normal
Air pollution and land value	Normal pollution
Town buildings	Malaysian and Singaporean
Town budgets and ordinances	On
Town councils	On
States and elections	On
Commuting	On
Road vehicles give way at junctions	On
City clock with rush hours	Off
Staff budget for road vehicles	Off

Everything you build (traffic lights, zones, city services, lines, bus lanes, tolls) only exists once you build it. The settings reference has every setting.

Where the new tools are

The main toolbar

The main toolbar is OpenTTD's. The new tools are in the Towns menu and the road toolbar.

The Towns menu

Click Towns on the main toolbar (the button with the tooltip Open town directory or found town):

The Towns menu with Wira Bandar's additions.

• Zoning (Shift+Z): zones for homes, shops and offices, industry and parks.
• City services (Shift+C): police, fire, clinics, schools, parks and bigger buildings.
• States: the states, their governments and elections.
• Air pollution map, Land value map: map views of the air and the land.
• Commuter traffic map: where commuters drive.

The Build roads menu and the road toolbar

Click Build roads on the main toolbar. Next to Road construction the menu has two new road types: Bus-only road construction and Expressway construction (see bus priority and expressways and tolls).

The Build roads menu.

The Road Construction toolbar has five new buttons, after the road stop buttons:

From the traffic light to the toll barrier: Wira Bandar's five new road tools.

Button	Key	What it does
Traffic lights	S	Build traffic lights at a junction, or click lights to change their timings
Traffic overlay	O	Colour roads by traffic
Stop charger	G	A fast charger over a bus stop for electric buses
Bus priority	Y	Bus lanes, give-way markings, bus signals, busways and BRT stations
Tolls	K	Toll plazas, free-flow gantries and toll prices

The town window

Click a town’s name on the map to open its window. Wira Bandar PC adds lines for the town’s council, state, homes and jobs, happiness and city services, traffic, commuters, the air and land value, and three buttons:

The town window. Transit, Budget and State are new.

• Transit: the town’s transit authority: its budget, tenders, contracts and passes.
• Budget: the town’s taxes, spending and ordinances, and its council.
• State: the town’s state, government and elections.

Stations and vehicles

• Station windows have Departures (a departures board), and the Interchange and Transport hub buttons (interchanges and hubs); railway stations also have Screen doors (metro and rail).
• Vehicles that share their orders form a line with a number, name and colour.

A good first goal

Pick a town of a few thousand people and give it a bus network: the tutorial Your first city bus network goes through it step by step.

Tip

If you’d rather start with the plain transport game and add Wira Bandar’s systems one at a time, switch them off before you click Generate and on again later: settings changed during a game take effect from then on.
