ERROR! dbsetxlw.grf Sprite Error

Code: #9 [14/2]

PS. Maybe someone here has a nice list of .grf that works properly for that person that they might share with me? :)
OK, I can confirm this is a bug in the patch. It happens when the .grf file attempts to report a fatal error, the error in this case being either that "newtrains" is off or "multihead" is off or not 0.

Make sure you have "newtrains on" and "multihead 0" in your ttdpatch.cfg and it should work.

Why thank you. :P

EDIT: Hmm Frink, why do your "grf" folder look like this?

newgrf/secondaryfolder/namew.grf ! ?

Maybe it's just me who've missed something when it comes to adding the .grfs ?
It's just my way of keeping them under control. ;)

Hmm anyone got some links or so for some nifty new stations? =) I'm using pigsw.grf and newstatsw.grf but i've seen industrial wise stations on screens, coal stations, wood, etc.

What's going wrong is that you're not telling us what the error message is.
Copy the message down, type it in (no screen shots, please!) and then maybe we can help you.

You also appear to have a broken keyboard; you might want to think about getting one that has working [shift] and ['] keys, and doesn't have sticky [.] and [!] keys.
To get a good answer, ask a Smart Question. Similarly, if you want a bug fixed, write a Useful Bug Report. No TTDPatch crashlog? Then follow directions.

- get newest TTDPatch: http://www.ttdpatch.net/src (currently it's alpha 47)
- get new versions of each graphic (there are some new versions of planeset newstations (0.3) and canals for sure)
what are you looking at? it's a signature!

Did you put the new files in the right place though? Because that error should really only happen with very old versions of the files. So either your download didn't work, or you downloaded them from a site with outdated files (try ttdpatch.net instead), or you put them in the wrong place.

I also suggest turning off all files and trying to enable one by one ... maybe 1 file is bad and mess everything

The ones from the main page won't work in the recent alpha.

The ones from the New Graphics are all fine.
