1.0) About OpenSFX
==== =============
OpenSFX is a set of base sounds for OpenTTD and is the result of the
"Sound Effects Replacement" project.
OpenSFX is a replacement for the original Transport Tycoon Deluxe
base sounds used by OpenTTD. The main goal of OpenSFX therefore
is to provide a set of free sounds which make it possible to play
OpenTTD without requiring the (copyrighted) files from the Transport
Tycoon Deluxe CD.
The OpenSFX sounds are free as in 'free beer' and free
as in 'freedom'.

only cover the official download locations. We cannot support third
party download locations and we cannot refund your money if you have
paid money for OpenSFX.

Tranport Tycoon Deluxe files and you are using the Windows installer
to install OpenTTD you can select OpenSFX to be downloaded during
the installation of OpenTTD.
* If you are new to OpenTTD and do not have access to the original
Tranport Tycoon Deluxe files, you will have to download and install
OpenSFX manually. This is really not that difficult as it may
sound, so do not worry too much about that.

OpenTTD version 1.0.0 or a recent nightly.
2. Next, download the latest OpenSFX package. (stable nightly)

as well, this is where you can switch base sound sets.

3.2) Contributing
==== ============
Contributing to OpenSFX can be done in several ways, but they generally end
up with providing (improved) samples for the set. If you have got a better
sample than we currently have you can make that know via an issue at:

Please mention who made the original samples and that the sample has been
released under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported
