The way I make new GRFs is by simply creating an empty, 0 byte text file with the wanted filename to get GRFCodec to encode.

re: Oracle

is this right?:

i created a notepad file in the ttd folder then went to comandpromt and wrote "grfcodec -e (filename).grf -p2"
then "ren (filename).new (filename).grf"
then "grfcodec -d (filename).grf -p2"

and it came up with a problem and closed

i really want to know how to do it and i have already followed all the tourials and none of them worked or they were tooooo techinal.

plz help

AFAIK you need to decode before you encode

That's probably why you get the error also

if i make a notepad document and try to decode it the same thing happenes...i have already decoded the trgtr.grf...

i will give up in a minute

Most likely, make sure your action 8 is correct (see step 3).

now it says invalid sprite 12

and i have chcked it many times

mine is:

Code: Select all

12 * 7 03 00 01 16 00 00 00

That looks ok, as long as cargo ID 0 is defined properly by an action 2 before it. How does that look?

That exact file works fine when I try it. Maybe you forgot to encode it again or something?

Birdey · Post by **Birdey** » 22 Jan 2005 05:37
