Hey!
I am coding my first NewGRF right now and I have a question about graphics files. I am using NML coding language. I read the NML tutorial page at TT Wiki, and there said that the graphics file should be png or pcx. Is this the right graphics file or I have to make another? I got json files also.

Re: NewGRF graphics file
Looks like you've used the fire cycle colours for the orange, and the CC blue for the windows. This means the entire wagon will flash/flicker and the windows will be whatever the company colour is. Refer to the palette for which colours are normal and which have special functions: https://newgrf-specs.tt-wiki.net/wiki/P ... oordinates
The windows are most commonly in the mauve colours (80-87)
Also make sure the file is paletted in your graphics editor, as the GRF compiler won't accept RGB PNGs. I can tell you how to do that in GIMP, not sure about other programs.
Good start btw, we can always use more GRF artists

Re: NewGRF graphics file
I used this website to draw the graphics: http://bundles.openttdcoop.org/pixeltool/push/LATEST/. I think it is a little easier to make sprites here, but if that is not the best place then I can try something else. I have used GIMP some years ago, but I really don't remember how.
And according to what you said about palette, I should use normal colors for windows and body?
Thank you very much for helping me on such a stupid topic.
