JGRennison/OpenTTD-patches is an open source project licensed under GNU General. Open source real-time strategy game with singleplayer campaigns and a multiplayer. First, in order to enable buying shares, the server needs to have the relevant 'Competitors' option set (allow buying shares). According to the openTTD wiki, even with this option on it is impossible to buy more than 75% of the shares from non-AI opponents or buy any shares at all from companies that are less than 6 years old. Completely buying out a human opponent in multiplayer is disabled.

OpenTTD is a simulation game for transportation and a clone of the proprietary game Transport Tycoon Deluxe ('TTD'). The game's source code is licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2.0.[3]
At this time (December, 2010), proprietary data files from the original TTD are not required to play the binary packed game. Nightly/trunk build contains free media files. [4]
OpenTTD has many improvements over its inspiration, TTD, such as larger maps and online multiplayer play.
It was written in the C++ programming language using the SDL or Allegro library.[5][6]

Development[edit]
Branches of OpenTTD releases are divided up into nightly, testing, and stable releases.
History[edit]
OpenTTD originated with Ludvig 'Ludde' Strigeus when he started reverse engineering TTD in 2003. Eventually, the project bears fruit in 2004.[7]
In October 2008 a graphics replacement set was release that uses the same license as the original game engine recreation project.[8] That lead to the inclusion into Linux distributions like Fedora.[9]

This version brings some major changes compared to the 0.3.x versions:
Openttd Multiplayer Server

- Rigerous caching of real sprites. This improves encoding speed a lot on subsequent runs, especially for NewGRFs with many real sprites, more so for 32bpp
- Statistics on the NewGRF on used IDs for vehicles, houses, etc as well as available switches, parameters etc
- Feature: [NewGRF] create_effect and effect_spawn_model
- Feature: [NewGRF] EFFECT_SPRITE_NONE constant for create_effect callback
- Feature: [NewGRF] support for OTTD_RECOLOUR action5 sprite(s)
- Feature: [NewGRF] Support for Latin
- Feature: [NewGRF] Variable to test for enabled wagon speed limits. (issue #6474)
- Feature: [NewGRF] Warn about usage of animation and semi-transparent colours, and add spriteset flags to enable/disable the checks. (issue #1085)
- Fix: [NewGRF] Number of vehicles in var 41 is one-based, only var 40 is zero-based.
- Fix: [NewGRF] Patch flags can only be accessed via action 7/9. (issue #6996)
- Fix: [NewGRF] Action7/9 bit tests must use varsize 1.

Note to package maintainers:
Openttd How To Host Server
- Dependency change: python 3.2+
- Dependency change: preferably use pillow for python3 as imaging library instead of PIL.
- Build requirement change (optional): c compiler needed to build the optional cython module for grf encoding (nml/_lz77.c). It's an optional speed improvement over the python-only implementation.
