HOWTO compile strgen:
 
(this should be useless as you can just type make)
 
Goto the main dir
 
Compile by typing
 
gcc strgen/strgen.c -o strgen/strgen -DUNIX
 
or if you want it to tell the revision too
 
gcc strgen/strgen.c rev.o -o strgen/strgen -DUNIX -DWITH_REV (this is the one the makefile uses)
 

	
 
you now have a program called strgen in the strgen directory

2.3 Checkpoint Stations
 

	
 

	
 
Checkpoint stations (the small blue item in the rail construction window) are small 1x1 stations. They must be built on top of pre-existing track. They do not accept or produce carge of any kind. They exist solely for use as route points. They become useful when dealing with large networks  where trains may attempt to route themselves along undesirable or impossible routes. As an alternative to checkpoint stations, you can also direct trains to visit depots along the way. This has the advantage of also servicing the train and hence the train will rarely to never need to depart from its route to be serviced.

7. Troubleshooting
 
------------------
 

	
 
 - My advertised server does not show up in the 'advertised server list' (servers.openttd.org)
 
     Run openttd with the '-d net=2' parameter, as this will show whether it receives replies from the master server.
 
     If it does not receive replies it is most likely that you need to configure your router to forward the OpenTTD ports 3979 (both TCP and UDP) to the computer that is hosting the game.
