Standard NewGRF Cargo Labels?

Post by Zutty »

Hi all,

As an AI author I want to make my AI compatible with as many NewGRFs as possible. As part of one of the upcoming features I intend to implement, I want to be able to name each cargo. (i.e. "LVST" -> "Livestock"). Since the NoAI API can't do this presently (and I don't know if its even possible), I'm just building up a list for myself.

I remember andythenorth mentioning in a thread somewhere that NewGRF authors should try to stick to a standard set of cargo labels, so that different NewGRFs can co-exist better. Is there an agreed-upon list somewhere of these cargo types? Or if not can we perhaps collate some of the commonly used cargo labels (and their proper names) from some of the major NewGRF sets?

Thanks very much.

Magnificent. :bow: I don't know why it didn't occur to me to search the Patch wiki! *facepalm* Thanks Pikka.

I always do that with GRF stuff - I forget the patch wiki exists and just search the OTTD one :p
