Loading static newgrfs in the main menu

Post by Erato »

It's a bit of a quality of life thing, but it'd be fun to be able to load static newgrfs in the main menu.

That way you could customise some sprites like the climate portraits, and maybe even the sprites of the trains running around in the background.

Seeing how static newgrfs should be able to be loaded at any time, why not in the main menu as well?
No pics no clicks. Seriously.

there are two main reasons for that:
  1. the current way of handling NewGRFs doesn't allow having NewGRFs active at the main menu and setting up NewGRFs for a new game simultaneously
  2. the main menu/title game is loaded before NewGRFs have been scanned
