Add scheduled dispatch support (edit + authoritative view)
Editing (game port, OpenTTDClient): a core of JGRPP's scheduled dispatch
DoCommands — set_scheduled_dispatch (enable/disable), add/remove schedule,
add/remove/clear slots, and set duration/start date. Adds the command IDs
to protocol.py.

Viewing (admin, OpenTTDAdminClient.get_dispatch): the GameScript API has no
dispatch support, so a new server patch (docker/patches/0002-*) adds
read-only GSOrder.GetScheduledDispatch* / IsScheduledDispatchEnabled
getters, an AdminBridge GameScript get_dispatch handler exposes them, and
get_dispatch() returns the live schedules and slots (mirrors get_timetable).

Note: set_dispatch_start_date values are normalised by the engine relative
to current game time, so they read back offset from the requested value.

Includes unit + e2e tests, a demo in main.py, and protocol/timetable docs.
The AdminBridge GameScript and the patched OpenTTD-patches clone live
outside this repo; the 0002 patch file is the durable source for the latter.

OpenTTD Python Client

A high-performance, Object-Oriented Python client for OpenTTD servers, specifically optimized for JGR Patch Pack (JGRPP). This client handles the modern secure handshake, including X25519 PAKE authentication and AEAD stream encryption.

🚀 Features

  • Secure Authentication: Full implementation of X25519 PAKE (Password-Authenticated Key Exchange).
  • Stream Encryption: Automatic XChaCha20-Poly1305 authenticated encryption for all game traffic.
  • Modular Design: Separates low-level binary protocol handling from high-level game logic.
  • State Management: Handles the full join sequence including Map download and synchronization.
  • Comprehensive Testing: Robustly tested with unit, logic, and E2E tests (including 100% coverage for unit/logic tests).
  • Vehicle Listing: Query vehicle data via the Admin GameScript channel with list_vehicles().
  • Vehicle Timetables: Read and modify a vehicle's timetable (change_timetable(), autofill_timetable(), set_timetable_start(), set_vehicle_on_time(), get_vehicle_timetable()) via real game-protocol commands.
  • Order Editing: Add and remove a vehicle's orders (add_order() inserts a "go to station" stop, remove_order() deletes one) via real game-protocol commands.
  • Scheduled Dispatch (JGRPP): Edit a vehicle's dispatch schedules and departure slots over the game port (add_dispatch_schedule(), add_dispatch_slot(), set_dispatch_duration(), set_scheduled_dispatch(), and more), and read them back authoritatively with OpenTTDAdminClient.get_dispatch() (via a patched GameScript API + the AdminBridge GS).
  • Authoritative Timetable Reads: OpenTTDAdminClient.get_timetable() fetches the real, current timetable of any vehicle from the running game (via a patched GameScript API + the AdminBridge GS) — no company join needed, works for timetables set before connecting.
  • Station Listing: Enumerate stations via the Admin GameScript channel with list_stations().
  • Station Cargo Snapshots: OpenTTDAdminClient.get_station() returns a station's live per-cargo state from the running game — both the real-time amount waiting and the planned flow through the cargodist link graph — over the AdminBridge GS (stock GameScript API, no server patch needed).
  • Cargo Flow Breakdown: OpenTTDAdminClient.get_station_cargo() breaks one cargo type down by source station and next hop (routing destination) for both waiting (real-time) and planned amounts, with optional from_station/via_station filters.

🛠 Setup

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.11+
  • A running OpenTTD server (preferably JGRPP)

Installation

  1. Create and activate a virtual environment:
    python3 -m venv venv
    source venv/bin/activate  # Linux/macOS
    
  2. Install dependencies:
    pip install openttd-protocol pymonocypher
    

📖 Usage

Running the default client

The main.py script is configured to join the local server and the company "Én transport".

python3 main.py [Username] [CompanyID]

Example:

python3 main.py MyBot 0

Module Integration

You can use the openttd package in your own projects:

from openttd import OpenTTDClient

client = OpenTTDClient(host="127.0.0.1", username="BotName")
await client.connect(server_password="asd")
await client.join_company(company_id=0, company_password="asd123")

await client.joined.wait()
# Your logic here...

📂 Project Structure

  • main.py: Main entry point and usage example.
  • lib/openttd/: Core package containing the protocol and client logic.
  • docs/: Extensive documentation on architecture, protocol, and contributing.
  • tests/: Comprehensive test suite (Logic, Protocol, E2E).

🧪 Testing

We maintain high test coverage. To run normal (non-E2E) tests:

pytest -m "not e2e"

For detailed instructions on E2E testing and coverage reports, see the Testing Guide.
