 Windows:
   You need Microsoft Visual Studio 6 or .NET. Open the project file

   and it should build automatically. In case you want to build with SDL support
   you need to add WITH_SDL to the project settings.
   PNG (WITH_PNG) and ZLIB (WITH_ZLIB) support is enabled by default. For these to
   work you need their development files. Best is to download the openttd-useful.zip
   file from SourceForge under the File tab. Put the header files into your compiler's
   include/ directory and the library (.lib) files into the lib/ directory. For more help
   with VS6 see docs/Readme_Windows_MSVC6.0.txt.
   You can also build it using the Makefile with MSys/MingW or Cygwin/MingW.
   Please read the Makefile for more information.

       This avoids double work, as someone else may have already started translating to the same language.
     * Translators must use the charater set ISO 8859-15.
       Otherwise, some characters will not display correctly in the game.
     * Currently it is not possible to translate into other charactersets than Latin, also changing
       the order of strings is unsupported. Eg. it is always '16tonnes of coal' and cannot be

 That's all! You should now be able to select the language in the game options.
 .0) Troubleshooting
 To see all startup options available to you, start OpenTTD with the "./openttd -h"
 option. This might help you tweak some of the settings.
 If the game is acting weird and you feel adventorous you can try the "-d [[<name>]=[<level>]"
 flag, where the higher levels will give you more debugging output. The name can help
 you to filter out only some type of debugging messages. This is mostly undocumented
 so best is to look in debug.c for the various debugging types. For more information
 look at http://wiki.openttd.org/index.php/Command_line
 The most frequent problem is missing data files. Don't forget to put all grf
 files from TTD into your data/ folder including sample.cat!
 Another, less frequent problem is the game refusing to run when you don't have a
 soundcard. To solve this, force OpenTTD to run without sound/music by running it with
 the command line option: "./openttd -s null -m null". This will disable both sound
 and music.
 Under Windows98 and lower it is impossible to use a dedicated server; it will fail to
 start. Perhaps this is for the better because those OS's are not known for their stability.
