[App] NewGRF Extractor – copy NewGRFs from OpenTTD presets

This simple program allows the user to browse through his/her saved NewGRF presets
and with one click copy all of those NewGRFs into a selected folder.

It might seem like a handy solution that no one asked for to a niche problem that nobody knew they had. Because it is.


Typical use case:

A savegame with tens of NewGRFs, half of which are not on Bananas, of which half are “personalized” or not available for download anymore.
You might want to archive this game (to come back to it in the future), maybe give it to a friend (if you have one),
or perhaps you want to alternate between a PC and an Android device (nothing better than starting a game at home on a PC and resuming it later on your phone on a train).

In all those scenarios you would have to manually search for and copy the needed files, one by one.
Now you can use this software to do it in seconds.


How does it work?

1. Unpack the ZIP archive.
2. [Optional] Give 'manual.pdf' a read.
3. Long story short, NewGRF_Extractor.exe needs to be in the OpenTTD user files folder, right next to openttd.cfg.
(If you're on Windows, it’s likely C:\Users\<username>\Documents\OpenTTD)
4. Run the app.
