Downloaded:

Useful.zip	http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=103924&package_id=114307&release_id=228633

     8

SDL.zip		http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-1.2.7-win32.zip

     9

DirectX7.0 SDK	http://www.tt-forums.net/download.php?id=15989

    10

		(or alternatively the latest DirectX SDK from Microsoft)

    11

afxres.h	http://www-d0.fnal.gov/d0dist/dist/packages/d0ve/devel/windows/AFXRES.H

Step 2

    15

------------------

    16

Put the newly downloaded files in the VC lib and include directories

    17

(Where D:\program files\ is your local location of VC)

    18

    19

    20

* zconf.h		[useful.zip]

    21

* zlib.h		[useful.zip]

    22

* afxres.h	

    23

in

    24

  D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include

    25

    26

* zlibstat.lib		[usefull.zip]

    27

* SDL.lib		[SDL.zip

    28

* libpng.lib		[usefull.zip]

    29

in

    30

  D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Lib

    31

    32

You can also make custum directories, for libraries (.lib) and includes/header files (.h) and

    33

add it to the VC paths via: 

    34

Tools -> Options -> Directories -> show directories for:

    35

a) include files (the include dir: D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\DirectX 7 SDK\include )

    36

b) library files (the lib dir, D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\DirectX 7 SDK\lib )

    37

    38

    39

Step 3: DirextX SDK

    40

------------------

    41

(This should work with the latest DirectX SDK as well.)

    42

The installation with DirectX 7 was odd, so you'd better use the version available via the forum, see also

    43

the download link on top.

    44

    45

Copy the DirectX 7 SDK files, leaving the directory stucture intact, to the directory:

    46

  D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\

    47

thus resulting in

    48

  D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\DirectX 7 SDK\include and

    49

  D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\DirectX 7 SDK\lib

    50

    51

Step 3.1

    52

    53

Add these two folders to the search path of VC.

    54

In VC6.0: Tools -> Options -> Directories -> show directories for:

    55

a) include files (the include dir: D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\DirectX 7 SDK\include )

    56

b) libraru files (the lib dir, D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\DirectX 7 SDK\lib )

    57

    58

    59

Step 4

    60

-----------------

    61

Copy the following files from Transport Tycoon Deluxe to the data folder

    62

  sample.cat

    63

  trg1r.grf

    64

  trgcr.grf

    65

  trghr.grf

    66

  trgir.grf

    67

  trgtr.grf

    68

    69

(Alternatively you can use the TTD GRF files from the DOS version: TRG1.GRF, TRGC.GRF, TRGH.GRF, TRGI.GRF, TRGT.GRF. Those filenames have to be uppercase to be detected correctly. A few minor graphical glitches with the DOS graphics remain. E.g. the autorail button in the rail toolbar doesn't look as nice as with the Windows graphics.)

Step 5

    72

-----------------

    73

Compile ...

    74

    75

    76

Step 6

    77

-----------------

    78

    79

Now it should work, it worked for me :)

    80

    81

Go ahead and make that patch!

    82

    83

Happy Hacking!
