\pard\f0\fs16 TTDX Editor is an editor for Transport Tycoon Deluxe saved games. You can edit player data, the terrain, cities, industries, stations, vehicles and more.\par
\par
\ul\b INSTALLATION\ulnone\b0\par
\par
Installation of TTDX Editor is a simple matter. Generally, you should just be able to run the installer, and everything will be set up for you. You will need administrator privileges to do this on modern versions of Windows, however.\par
\par
If you are using Windows 95, 98, Me, 2000 or NT 4.0, you may need an update to your Windows Scripting Host libraries for TTDX Editor to function properly. WSH is no longer bundled with TTDX Editor due to most people using Windows XP or higher by now, which includes it by default. If you are running an older version of Windows, though, you can download the libraries from my web site, at:\par
\par
   \ul http://www.transporttycoon.net/ttdxedit\ulnone\par
\par
Additionally, Windows 95 users should have the DCOM95 libraries installed. You can also download these from the above site. Please ensure they are installed before you install TTDX Editor.\par
\par
\ul\b USING TTDX EDITOR\ulnone\b0\par
\par
TTDX Editor should be relatively self-explanatory to use. Additional documentation is unfortunately not available in this version. Please e-mail me (see below) if you have any questions on program usage.\par
\par
Please note that TTDX Editor only works with Transport Tycoon Deluxe and TTDPatch saved games and scenarios. It does not currently support games from the original Transport Tycoon, the "World Editor" add-on pack, or OpenTTD.\par
\par
\ul\b KNOWN BUGS\par
\par
\ulnone\b0 - Sometimes, road vehicles, ships, aircraft or some combination of the three will not show up in the vehicle list. This may be fixed in a future release.\par
\ul\b\par
MODIFIED.EXE\ulnone\b0\par
\par
A small program has been included with TTDX Editor that will tell you if a game has been modified by TTDX Editor 1.10.14 or higher. MODIFIED.EXE is a command-line Win32 program, and the syntax of the program is:\par
\par
   \f2 MODIFIED \i filename\i0\f0\par
\par
'\i\f2 filename\i0\f0 ' should be an uncompressed ('big') Transport Tycoon Deluxe saved game or scenario (eg, created by 'Save Uncompressed' in TTDX Editor, or decoded with SV1Codec).\par
\par
However, using the "save uncompressed" option in TTDX Editor would actually mark the decompressed game as being modified by the Editor (even if it hasn't had anything done to it), which could be a bit unhelpful. Version 1.20 of TTDX Editor makes a note in the saved game of which game areas have been modified (e.g., city data, vehicle data, etc). This can be viewed with MODIFIED.EXE.\par
\par
SV1Codec can be downloaded from \ul http://www.owenrudge.net/redirect/ttdxedit/sv1codec/\ulnone  if you wish to decode your games manually for use with MODIFIED.EXE.\par
