Saves: .sav and .csav

Wira Bandar PC is a fork of OpenTTD: OpenTTD's code with changes, free software under the GNU GPL v2. About and credits

Wira Bandar PC plays your OpenTTD saves, and saves its own games in a format of its own, .csav, so the two never get mixed up.

Made by Wira Bandar PC OpenTTD
.sav OpenTTD Loads it Loads it
.csav Wira Bandar PC Loads it, and saves as .csav Doesn’t list or open it
  • Wira Bandar PC loads .sav files from OpenTTD (as far back as OpenTTD itself can load, Transport Tycoon Deluxe saves included) and its own .csav files.
  • It saves only as .csav. When you save a game you loaded from mygame.sav, the new file is mygame.csav: your .sav is never overwritten.
  • OpenTTD doesn’t show .csav files, and couldn’t open them: they hold Wira Bandar’s extra data (traffic lights, zones, councils, lines and so on), which OpenTTD doesn’t know. So a game you continue in Wira Bandar PC stays in Wira Bandar PC.
The Load Game file list: the parent directory, the autosave directory, Tanjung Transport, 1st Mar 2003.sav, Laju Transit, 5th May 2010.csav and Bas Bandar, 1st May 2011.csav.
Load Game lists both: an OpenTTD save (.sav) and two Wira Bandar saves (.csav).

Saves are in Documents\Wira Bandar\save, autosaves in Documents\Wira Bandar\save\autosave. On the first start, Wira Bandar PC copied OpenTTD’s save folder there (see Folders and settings).

To play an OpenTTD save you made later, copy it from Documents\OpenTTD\save to Documents\Wira Bandar\save, then in Wira Bandar PC click Load Game in the main menu.

What happens when you load an OpenTTD save

Section titled “What happens when you load an OpenTTD save”

The game keeps everything that’s in the save. The new features start empty and switch on with their default settings:

  • Nothing new is built for you. There are no traffic lights, zones, lines or bus lanes until you build them.
  • Towns get the new systems. With the defaults, towns start collecting taxes (town budgets), get a council, are grouped into states in the first month, and their people start commuting and driving, so roads fill up with town traffic. Air pollution and land value are worked out from the first month.
  • Towns build differently from now on. With Town buildings set to Malaysian and Singaporean (the default) in the temperate and sub-tropical climates, new houses are Malaysian and Singaporean, and towns rebuild old houses into the new kinds as they grow. Buildings already there stay until the town replaces them.
  • Your vehicles and stations keep working. Road vehicles start giving way at junctions (the default), and town traffic slows down busy roads.

A .csav from an older build of Wira Bandar PC loads in a newer one. Features added since start empty, and settings added since get their defaults, as with an OpenTTD save.

Multiplayer works as in OpenTTD, but everyone must run the same build of Wira Bandar PC. It can’t join OpenTTD servers, and OpenTTD can’t join Wira Bandar games.
