Sodor Railways Expansion - The Thomas The Tank Engine set for OpenTTD

Sodor Railways Expansion is a train set for OpenTTD, including vehicles from the Thomas The Tank Engine universe

Drawn by DanMacK and others, coded by Audigex and Bazek, and based on the MUTS (Modern UK Train Set) build scripts and some code stolen (but not really, thanks GPLv2) from BRTrains

Train List

Installation

Grab the latest release from the in-game content downloader.

Alternatively get it from the page and copy it into your OpenTTD/newGRF folder.

Building from Source

Building from the source should be mostly automated using the build.py script, but it has a few requirements:

• Python3.* (Tested on Python3.6, Python3.7, Python3.8, Python3.9)
• nml Python package (available through pip)

To build the grf completely, just run the following command in your terminal:

python build.py --compile OpenTTE

This should first compile the .nml file, then compile that through to a .grf file using nml. Install in the same manner as previously described, copying the generated .grf file into OpenTTD/newGRF.

To copy the grf and start the game, closing all existing instances, run the following command in your terminal of choice:

python build.py --run OpenTTE

This will also perform the --compile function, and will not start the game if an error is thrown during the compilation process.
