how to change the foundation graphics?

Post by The Irish »

Hi all,

I've seen some guys using the foundation graphics from the tropic also in the temperate climate.
How can I do this?
Thanks in advance for your help.




Ooh, and yes i did a search but nothing useful came there and I checked the wiki but no news there either...

Oops. Szappy sent me a file which allows doing this, but I've forgotten to upload it.

If the patch newgrf page has no updated track foundations file within a few days, please remind me again...

Hi,
I also tried to change the foundation graphics, but failed :(
I have the right version of trkfound.grf, it is in the newgrf folder. But I have no clue how (where!) to set the parameters

Szappy once said this:
Szappy wrote:so for example mine is:
trkfoundw.grf 4 2 4 0
this only changes the temperate foundations to white ones
but I don't know if I should put that in newgrf.cfg or ttdpatch.cfg or maybe something else? In newgrf.cfg it obviously doesn't work, and in ttdpatch.cfg it creates an error :x

can anyone help me on this?

How do you know it's not working?

And are you sure you have the correct copy of the foundation graphics? (The one from ttdpatch.net won't work, but the one that I just posted to thread Szappy mentioned will, if you're using the DOS version (as "newgrf.cfg" and "trkfound.grf" imply).)
To get a good answer, ask a Smart Question. Similarly, if you want a bug fixed, write a Useful Bug Report. No TTDPatch crashlog? Then follow directions.

Because I build railroad tracks in the temperate climate, and the foundations were still the temperate ones, even though I changed it.

I did use the ttdpatch.net version(DOS), but as that doesn't work, I'll be happy to try your version at once.
