If you want AIs use the in-game content downloader. If for some reason that is

			




	
	
	
		
 
not possible or you want to use an AI that has not been uploaded to the content

			




	
	
	
		
 
download system download the tar file and place it in the ai/ directory. If the

			




	
	
	
		
 
AI needs libraries you'll have to download those too and put them in the

			




	
	
	
		
 
ai/library/ directory. All AIs and AI Libraries that have been uploaded to

			




	
	
	
		
 
the content download system can be found at http://noai.openttd.org/downloads/

			




	
	
	
		
 
The AIs and libraries can be found their in the form of .tar.gz packages.

			




	
	
	
		
 
OpenTTD can read inside tar files but it does not extract .tar.gz files by

			




	
	
	
		
 
itself.

			




	
	
	
		
 
To figure out which libraries you need for an AI you have to start the AI and

			




	
	
	
		
 
wait for an error message to pop up. The error message will tell you

			




	
	
	
		
 
"couldn't find library 'lib-name'". Download that library and try again.
