Vehicle.dat file

Could somebody with cargo & temperate graphic sets installed, attach their vehicle.dat file please? For some reason I haven't got this file in the TTDLX folder, is there anyway I can generate one?

you cannot edit new vehicles with TTDTranslator (can you?) .... the best idea to edit names is to edit them in game, during playing TTD !! (there is 'Rename')

I don't rename new vehicles becouse most of the time they do have the right names!

And for shadow, you can change the names of any normal vehicle with ttdtranslator. You don't need a .dat file.

BUT we are talking about PATCHED vehicles from MB Sets

I thought the question was why he didn't had a vehicle.dat

:?:

But no you can't change them, but why would you change them? They're ok I think

That puzzles me, how come you can't change their names with ttdpttxt.new file using mkpttxt
I see the new shipnames, so it's possible to change those names

anyway THERE IS option to change their names .... rename them in TTD ... everything will be saved to vehicles.dat (I dont know if it works but you can try)
