Launch a single player game, change the settings, and close the game. There are 3 ways to change the game options: OpenTTD should start up in Dedicated Server. If you run openttd -D, you will not see a console window and will be unable to provide commands to the program. You can display the log with tail : tail -f openttd.log to follow events. All output will be sent to the file openttd.log. It means that the process will run in the background, but no console will be available. You can also start openttd with -f option. If you are connecting to the server via SSH and would like the game to run when you logout you should use GNU Screen or dtach.

Right-click on the shortcut and click PropertiesĮnter: "c:\(path to openttd)\openttd.exe" -D Run the OpenTTD executable using the -D (capital D!) Command line option.
