Openttd Saved Game

This is a saved game for Transport Tycoon Deluxe. It is my fifth year in business, and some of the routes, such as the steel/iron ore you see when you load this game, exist until the very end of the game (although in a much more complicated form - this happened to be the worst bit to upgrade). Owen Transport Ltd.: 1st January 1993. Openttd linux command man page: Open source clone of the Microprose game 'Transport Tycoon Deluxe'. This zip file contains the saved game after moving it to OpenTTD in April 2008 and fixing the oil network and tweaking the rest. Game year: 1998. Includes save game from game year 2000 - oil network is being fixed, monorails have been introduced. OpenTTD players can change the parameter from within a game, by simply following instructions under a) above, but before pressing the 'Apply' button, change parameter 3 to the value of choice. TTDPatch players need to save the game, exit the game application, make the necessary.

This script allows you to create a timelapse video from your OpenTTD game. It will use your previously saved games. No need to remember to take screenshots during the game, ad since you play it safe and save before and after each big civil engineering work (ooops ?), you will have enough frames to create a nice work to put into your Company heritage cabinet.

The resulting video is zoomed into a defined location and works with large games (tested on a 512x512 map).

After opening an old game by mistake, I realized how much civil engineering my region had undergone. Having a timelapse of all that heavy work sprung to my mind. But I never saved any screenshot of my games and opening each game one by one is not my favorite thing. Better spend more time to create an automated script.

Basics

OpenTTD has a console that allows some basic commands mainly intended for network games), and more importantly allows you to take screenshots. A second sweet feature, is the support for start up scripts, on openttd level and/or on a game level.

What we need

OpenTTD (obviously)
Python with PIL support
ffmpeg or avconv
Some saved games

Take the right screenshot

OpenTTD’s console allows you take different types of screenshots:

screenshot: just grabs the screen with all the GUI present
screenshot no_con: same as above but without the console window
screenshot big: a zoomed in version
screenshot giant: the whole map

The location and zoom level are stored within the saved game. Meaning that when you open a game your visible area is how you left it. You can go to a specific tile with the console command scrollto, but you can’t set a specific zoom level. The first three screenshot options are dependent on zoom level, you won’t get a consistent area for each saved game.

This leaves us only with the giant option, which creates really huge files: 32000x16000, 40MB for a 512x512 map.

Re-sampling the images

Re-sampling the images to 1920x1080 and using it as could be a choice, but you loose the sight of the detail and you end up with only a generic overview. Don’t you prefer to show the amazing landscaping you made to fit this airport and good’s station into the city?

We will cut out the interesting region from the main file, to simulate a zoom-in and achieve something similar to screenshot big, but without having to worry about the zoom.

The steps

I ran this script on Ubuntu 14.04, it will work on other Linux distro or OSX and should work on Windows too (still someone using Windows, seriously ?) as long as you have all the tools installed. The paths in the sample are for Ubuntu, just replace them with the ones for your installation.

Screenshot and exit

To take a screenshot and exit immediately after starting a game, simply create the file ~/.openttd/scripts/game_start.scr, with this content:

Start a game

You can start OpenTTD and directly open a game:

Crop and resize images

PIL is surprisingly handling this quite well. My first approach was to use ImageMagick, but the time and CPU taken to crop the huge source file was below expectations.

Display the right area

I was too lazy to write a tile_to_pixel method by using matrix calculation and geographic projections, so I went the easy route by using the position relative to the source image.

The final script

Help

python openttd_timelapse.py --help should give you all the information you need.

output

Movie is created in current path, with the name company_name.mp4

-z, -zoom {1,2,3,4}

Allows to cut out a smaller or bigger area from the source file which is resized to the movie size.

Zoom 1 crops out the exact size. Zoom 2 the double size. The timelapse will display a bigger regions, similar to a “zoom-out” in game.

-c, -check

Creates only the first file in current folder as timelapse_check.png. This allows you to verify that the settings are alright, before starting the generation of all images.

A sav file extension is associated with variety computer games. A sav files are used to store game positions that can be later loaded and the user can continue with gaming.

There are 5 other file types using
the SAV file extension!

.sav - SPSS Data Sets database

.sav - Configuration data

.sav - Free Download Manager download data

.sav - Parallels Desktop saved state image

.sav - PSS E saved document

SAV file extension- Saved game file

What is sav file? How to open sav files?

The sav file extension is generally used for saved game files, also simply known as gamesaves, which contain saved progress of player in a computer game.

Saved game file can be later loaded and the user can continue with gaming.

These sav files are used in numerous computer games but can only be used in the game where they were originally created.

The default software associated to open sav file:

Company or developer:
OpenTTD team

OpenTTD is an open source simulation game based upon the popular Microprose game 'Transport Tycoon Deluxe', written by Chris Sawyer. It attempts to mimic the original game as closely as possible while extending it with new features.

Help how to open:

Generally, *.sav files are not meant to be opened directly, but from inside their respective programs. However some cheating programs may open *.sav files and alter their data.

How to convert:

There is no way how to convert *.sav file from one game to another (for example from OpenTTD to Chaser).
However, you can find game *.sav file editor and export/edit some data from gamesaves for some purposes, like cheating, customizing etc.

List of software applications associated to the .sav file extension

Recommended software programs are sorted by OS platform (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android etc.)
and possible program actions that can be done with the file: like open sav file, edit sav file, convert sav file, view sav file, play sav file etc. (if exist software for corresponding action in File-Extensions.org's database).

Hint:
Click on the tab below to simply browse between the application actions, to quickly get a list of recommended software, which is able to perform the specified software action, such as opening, editing or converting sav files.
