Perhaps JustMoreMemes could be invited to take on the task of his/her suggestion?

Purno says, "All my graphics are licensed under GPL."
Unfortunately, this isn't how copyright law works.krtaylor wrote: ↑07 Nov 2022 14:52 It's sad that one of the original sins of this forum wasn't to plainly state, "Anything posted here automatically becomes open-source and can be used by anybody so long as credit is given." Instead, we get into these pointless arguments over "There's no license! So something cool has to just vanish into the aether and can't ever be used by anybody else ever again, even though no money was ever involved!"
You'd think that the fact that Transport Tycoon itself is abandonware, would support this view. But I guess too many people would rather argue over irrelevancies than keep all the various fun plugins to this very old game alive.
I'll go one further - I don't believe NFO is copyrightable. Especially if it's reverse-engineered NFO that came out of a decompiled NewGRF, stripped of everything except technical info.skc wrote: ↑07 Nov 2022 22:30 In this particular case, as kamnet has pointed out, the original author has released the graphics under the GPL license. This means you can use them to create your own, updated NewGRF. The code in the original GRF might not be able to be re-purposed, depending on the exact wording of the license statement, but if the graphics are GPL'd there is NOTHING stopping you re-using them and writing your own NML to make a NewGRF (or re-using it in an entirely new way completely unconnected to OpenTTD!)
No I don't think we should. OpenTTD itself is old too and the base game is even more ancient and you are arguing that we should let things be forgotten and left behind. This is a great NewGRF with an annoying limitation that from my understanding is easier to solve today than it was back then, it might not get updated but that doesn't mean it's not worth asking.Aegir wrote: ↑07 Nov 2022 07:31it's been SEVENTEEN YEARS please can we just let things goJustMoreMemes wrote: ↑06 Nov 2022 17:28 This is very old now but I would love it if it could be updated to support all climates! The artwork is so cool!
How would I go about reprogramming it? I tried to get into NewGRFs but couldn't find anything useful aside from conflicting documentation and numerous ancient programs that don't work properly half the time. I don't really even understand the language. It would be amazing to see a proper rerelease or reupload with change though.Quast65 wrote: ↑07 Nov 2022 10:38 I totally agree that nothing (or noone ) on this forum is too old
And I also agree that the climate-availability was a bit annoying.
I also really like the look of this station (I use it a lot for small metro-stations)
For my personal games, I simply decoded the GRF, removed the Action-07 referring to that and recoded again.As (AFAIK) there has no license been set, I recommend that you do the same for your personal games only.Code: Select all

Well, in that case...
The NewGRF Specs page is a reference to the NFO that is used in NewGRFs. Every GRF that works as intended is built on code from that page, so reverse engineer to your heart's content.
Thank you! I'm working on my own NewGRF right now by reverse engineering an existing one and your instructions helped with that.Quast65 wrote: ↑08 Nov 2022 13:391.

2. Delete codeline 7
3. Change the GRF-id (BAGS, codeline 8 )
4. Change the name (for example, add "All Climates") (also codeline 8 )
5. Renumber by using NFOrenum
6. Recode the GRF using GRFcodec
Well, in that case...

Another route is to start a topic for your project in Graphics Development. That way you'll have all your thoughts and discussion in one convenient location.JustMoreMemes wrote: ↑09 Nov 2022 10:40 Thank you!
