How to use patch *.exe grafics with openTTD??

Post by Digitalfox »

Hi..

I saw this great new grafics for openTTD in:

http://users2.tt-forums.net/ttdur/ttdur.htm

I'm pointing to the new docks:

http://users2.tt-forums.net/ttdur/files/newdocks(w).exe

But since it's a exe, and was made for using with the patch executable, it doesn't let me extract it or use it with openttd!!!

Isn't there a way to extract the *.grf from this executable??

Or downloading the new docks grf from somewhere else??

Thanks..

These .exe directly patch the tr*.grf files so they work with openttd.

Another way is to convert the exe-files to grf-files. This is the way I use for linux. Therefore you'll need grd2grf.
Execute "grdtogrf ${file}.exe ${target}.grf".
Done.

It sucks to patch the original graphics. Convert to grfs.

Don't forget to set a GRFID when using grd2grf...
