I can't get some newGRFs

Post by pasildan »

Hello guys ! I'm a newbie user in openTTD but lover from the first transport tycoon. I have tried to open a customed map in the game but it requires a lot of newGRF. The thing is I downloaded most of the with the tool for online content but some of them appear with a red boton and it doesn't allow me to download the remaining newGRF required.
The customed map is Alaska (USA).
I would like to know if this just happens to me or even it's a common problem. Also if possible I would appreciate any help possible to get those newGRF remaining to load the map. I have attached a picture to show it.

Regards.

Hi, pasildan. The answer to the question, see the topic Looking for Graphics? Ask Here.
I recommend all questions on GRF's ask in the same topic - Looking for Graphics? Ask Here. Users of the forum will help you find answers. :wink:

I can't say I've ever heard of the first 3, so I can't help there, with the rest however:

Marico, NewShips and NewStations can all be found here:
http://ttdpatch.de/download.html

Now the Version of WAS you have could be one of several versions. Normally downloading the latest version on WAS via the Online Content Downloader should work, as it is normally compatible, however, you may have tried that already. Someone else here may have a better idea if that isn't working.

I agree with you, you can use the version of WAS from the online game content :) . But I recommend using one of the last nightlies :) .
I checked the compatibility. Problems running scenarios did not arise from me.

Is there some specific reason why it appears to me not available for being downloaded those newGRFs my friend? Just curiosity I'm pretty newbie on this.

Some NewGRF authors disagree with the terms of service of the download service (anything uploaded will be available forever to all), and do not use it. Instead they have other means of providing their extensions to you.

Edit: The download service also checks compatibility of the download content against your OpenTTD version, and does not offer content that your version cannot handle.
Being a retired OpenTTD developer does not mean I know what I am doing.
