No, not really. I have some thoughts of renting servers but that's a bit too much work to be worth it so will probably never be a thing. What kind of server would you want though? I may be able to help you with it. For example, on server 0 you can use !restart command to play pretty much any game mode citymania has. And it's generally not a problem for me to start another server when I'm around.

hello, I have a server pc running on windows 10. And I have now stumbled up on this site. I clearly see this version of OpenTTD is way better for me to use. It helps allot.

But as mentioned here. Is there no possible to make a server for this version of openTTD at all?

regards

Hi! There is a difference between citymania client and citymania servers that run citybuilder and stuff.

CityMania client is network compatible with vanilla version so you can just use it with any vanilla server. And while you can use CityMania client as a server as well and there are some small advantages in doing that, generally speaking it's not that different from using vanilla version.

CityMania server is a different version of the game that is not public and even if it was it would be nearly impossible to use outside of the citymania infrastructure anyway. So you can't run servers exactly like citymania does on your own hardware but there are scripts that allow you achieve a remotely similar game modes on vanilla version.
