About WmDOT

WmDOT (short for "William's Department of Transportation") is an AI for OpenTTD, a freeware clone of Chris Saywer's Transport Tycoon Deluxe. Having fallen in love with the original, I was quite delighted to find the remake! Of the things that has been added to OpenTTD is custom AI's, of which this is one. For me, it's a way to back in touch with a game I fell in love with years ago and to bursh up on my programming skills at the same time.

Requirements

WmDOT required OpenTTD version 1.0 or newer. This is available as a free download from OpenTTD.org. WmDOT can be downloaded from the in-game 'Check Online Content,' which will download the required dependencies at the same time.

Manual Installation

Manual installation can be accomplished by putting the WmDOT tar file in the ..\OpenTTD\ai folder. If you are manually installing, the libraries mentioned above need to be in the ..\OpenTTD\ai\library folder.

Once installed, WmDOT can be selected through 'AI Settings' on OpenTTD's main interface. Alternately, WmDOT can be launched manually in-game by bringing up the console (press the key to the right of the '1', usually the '~' key; press the same key to close the console) and typing 'start_ai wmdot'.
