Is there any way to change NewGRF in an existing save game?
I'm sure it used to be possible, as I remember the "Are you sure? This might break things!" warning but I can't find an option anywhere now - has it been removed entirely?
I've got a VERY long running game (2 years old) that I'd like to add an extra train set to, and I'm completely happy to take the risks of it braking (I'll take a copy first), but there isn't a chance in hell I'm restarting this save game just to add one train set.
Is there any way to make it happen? I'm okay with hacking the save file if necessary

It was moved out of sight to prevent people from complaining about broken games because they couldn't read, but it is still there Open the console (~) and type set newgrf_developer_tools = 1 to re-enable it.

please don't go around telling people this, the correct answer in this situation is
the (much more powerful) newgrf developer tools have waaay too many ways to destroy your game, if used incorrectly
Code: Select all
set scenario_developer=1

Perfect, thanks guys - I went with the scenario developer option to give me less things to mess up, and it worked a treat (I edited in the scenario editor, I'm not sure if that was required)
Now I have all the beautiful modern UK MU's to add to my massive UK save game - I'd started it a few years ago and the various new rolling stock and changes to franchises in the UK had really messed up my colour schemes
Kinda makes me want to go draw some updated liveries for the BR Trains set - my Class 390 needs an Avanti livery!

Ah right, forgot about scenario_developer. That is indeed better hereEddi wrote: ↑02 Sep 2020 09:53 please don't go around telling people this, the correct answer in this situation isthe (much more powerful) newgrf developer tools have waaay too many ways to destroy your game, if used incorrectlyCode: Select all

Though if you are going to be doing some NewGRF work in the future the extra abilities are very handy, so it might be good to remember the option for later

I have a page full of NML open on my screen right now, so it'll definitely be helpful if I don't decide against it (still getting my head around it)Andrew350 wrote: ↑02 Sep 2020 20:01Ah right, forgot about scenario_developer.
