+OpenTTD is a clone of the Microprose game "Transport Tycoon Deluxe," a popular
+game originally written by Chris Sawyer. Significant enhancements from the
+original game include bigger maps, new AI, stable multiplayer mode, dedicated
+server mode, and many in-game updates.
-Several original Windows data files must be copied into the
-/usr/share/games/openttd/data directory before the game can be played.
+Historically, users of OpenTTD needed access to several original Windows data
+files in order to successfully run the game. However, now there are two
+options:
-List of the required files:
-sample.cat trg1r.grf trgcr.grf trghr.grf trgir.grf trgtr.grf
+1. Using open source data files.
+
+There are now open source equivalent files for the graphics (opengfx), sound
+(opensfx), and music (openmsx) data files. This script includes support for
+these three extra downloads and will move the files into the right place so
+long as OPENDATA=YES (which is the default).
+
+2. Using the original Windows data files.
+
+Alternatively, the user can still use the original Windows data files. If the
+original Windows data files are going to be used, then they must be copied into
+the /usr/share/games/openttd/data directory before the game can be played.
+List of the required files: sample.cat trg1r.grf trgcr.grf trghr.grf trgir.grf
+trgtr.grf. Note that the user can either set OPENDATA=NO in which case the
+open source data files will not be used by the script and OpenTTD. Or, the
+user can keep OPENDATA=YES in which case the open source data files will be
+included giving the user the ability to choose which data file set (original
+Windows or open source data files) to use within the game options menu.
-Again, several original files must be copied from the game cd or equivalent.
