How do I replace sprites in the openttd.grf? I'm looking for something like action A.

[Maedhros]

What you're looking for is Action 5.

Thanks, that's it.


EDIT: I want to replace only one sprite, sprite number 57. How to do this?

[FooBar]

That's unfortunately not possible. You have to replace the whole set of sprites from the type sprite 57[0] is in.

Currently, only type 14 and 15 support replacement of a single sprite.


[0] Isn't sprite 57 part of the 2nd company colour translation table?

Jezulkim: the action 5 stuff only works in the 0.6.0 betas and the nightlies. And then you can replace the OpenTTD GUI sprites piece by piece fairly simple (the specs describe exactly how to do it).

Thank you, that explains it.

I was using the openttd.grf that comes with version 0.5.3 and it's the fast forward button.

erm.. the format has changed.. many times. Suggest you to download nightly and see what's there.

I renamed this thread because I'm going to ask more questions.

How do you make vehicles appear before 1920?

[FooBar]

Action 0, with a property depending on feature. In all cases you have to look for the 'Long format introduction date'. You have to set it after property 00 to take effect.

Feature: property
00 trains: 2A
01 road vehicles: 1F
02 ships: 1A
03 planes: 1A

Thanks..

What's the maximum number of train IDs in OpenTTD? Is it same as on TTDP? If it's possible to use more train IDs in OTTD, then how to do it?

EDIT: nevermind, I found out that you can use wagon IDs for trains.
