Gah! What did my brain do there?

Sorry. Yes. Of course I meant OTTD. D, as in delta, and doofus.

OilPowerw.grf
Desalw.grf
newfactoryw1.grf
NewFactoryw.grf

These are new industries, and won't yet work in OpenTTD.

For being the smartest in your class gets you an A, or a 10, but with these little nifty problems no one cares. Thus i did what i told, added graphics by hand.
Now my OilPowerw.grf, Desalw.grf, newfactoryw1.grf, NewFactoryw.grf don't give errors or problems so i assume it works as it should be. The factory and oilrig looks diiferent.
After i did a extensive mailing with Pizzaman he wrote me this about his program...
Heh, I'm amazed that someone is actually using this program, unfortunately I've pretty much given up on this program (mainly because I use Linux now). Plus it was really lacking features. And the implementation wasn't very good. The list goes on....

So, he told me in a later mail that there was somebody else who build graphics adding proggie, so where is he?

So now i have a request for the builders of OTTD, add all the graphics that are available in-game (in the package) and fix the option in the game where you and me can add, turn graphic files on and off. And graphic builders should be able to upload their stuff so that it can be tested in the nightly's and not wander around the net before someone finds it, use it and complain about it if it doesn't work. Let's asume the Microsoft position, all under 1 supervising unit that directs, suggest, test etc....

Maybe that's a bit for the future....

Hope i wasn't too rude, but this must not die a silent dead. Hail to the builders.....

you guys and galls do a fine job, i'm not capable of such wonders...

I have downloaded Grf for japan rail set. But, it's in monorails and no wagons!? What did i missed?

GRF files are meant for TTDPatch, which only has three track types. As Monorails are least liked, probably due to the fact it only has two trains and is the most unrealistic track type, most new track GRFs will overwrite it.

As for there being no wagons/trains, did you download a train GRF, or just the track graphics? Check what it says in the GRF Status Window. (ignore the red)

Grf status window? Is it grf setting window? The name of the grf file: japansetw.grf

here is the screenshot.

Do you have the latest Nightly? (Win32 if you use windows)

orcaz · Post by **orcaz** » 02 Sep 2006 14:01

yes. It is 6299.

-edit:I try started with new game and the result:
-shinkansen are not in monorail but maglev.
-others in electrified rail
-nothing in monorail
can you explain why this is happened?

Because that's the way the set is coded?
