Yes when you decompile it you should be able to see the name in clear text, of course you can't release someone else's grf just edited so the only use of that might be to add that its your version and not for release so you don't forget.

Let me guess... It's in the NFO
But how to open and Edit it?

With a plain text editor of your choice.

You are Kidding me... Is that So Simple?
So i can open it with Notepad?

Wow it works!
Oh no... Not more Numbers
EDIT: <Removed Text because it sounds Confusing>

REEDIT:
Oh and i'm going to Understand the NFO Code in GRFCodec!
But what means Everything?

<pcx filename> <x> <y> <type> <y-size> <x-size> <x-ofs> <y-ofs>
Can someone Explain it?

[RL Conroy]

Please?
I only want to Know what this means at GRFCodec:

Code: Select all

<pcx filename> <x> <y> <type> <y-size> <x-size> <x-ofs> <y-ofs>

Can Someone Help me?

[RL Conroy]

Yes thank you planetmaker.
Now i can Create my GRF!

EDIT: Ehmm... What means Property 7800?
Can't find it out..

Code: Select all

258 7800 01 21 6 -2 -19

Founded what The 7 Bit Means: "PBS"

[FooBar]

That doesn't seem to be a proper sprite. It looks like part of a real sprite, missing the file name and x-pos

Directly from GRFCodec!

This are Oneway & Twoway PBS Signals from the DBSETXL.
I am Creating a GRF that Replaces the PBS Signals only.

[FooBar]

Well yes, those are correct real sprites. The snippet you showed earlier is not.
In this code 7800 is the value for y-pos, i.e. the y-value for the location of the sprite in the pcx file, measured in pixels from the top of the file.

Also note that you cannot 'just' replace the PBS signals, you need to replace/re-add the presignal and semaphore graphics. Why? That's just how the specification works.

[RL Conroy]

Oh but that is Simple.
I (can? ) Reuse the Code from the Files ttdpbasew.grf.

I have ALL the Sprites of the Original Pre-Signal & Semaphore Sprites.
And also the Sprites from DBSETXL i wanna Replace.
But what mean the First line of Numbers just After the FileName from the Codes Above?

I don´t know exactly what you´re going to do, but let me tell you that the DB Set is not under the GPL or a similar license, so you cannot "use" something from it and release it.

The (older) signals.grf is under the GPL, though. Those signals are also part of TTDPatch.grf and OTTD.

Michael

[RL Conroy]

I don´t know exactly what you´re going to do

I'm trying to Create a GRF for myself to Replace my Strange PBS Signals.
If i'm going to Release Something i first Ask before i do that.

The PBS Signals from TTDPatch are WAY more Nicer that the OpenTTD Version. (That's my Opinion.)
Ever seen a Signal with only 2 Lights BOTH on Red or GREEN? I don't.
But can/may i do that?

EDIT3: Or can you michael Release a GRF with those Signals?
I think that other People want that too.

EDIT: Which Code must i Add to get my Own GRF Name and Description?
Nevermind, Founded it

[RL Conroy]

UPDATE: I Created my First GRF! I Replaced my Block Signals! WooHoo!
And now the other Signals are on the Way to be Replaced!
And then i will Create Station Tiles!
Thanks for all your help to make it this far for me!
UPDATE: I Created my Second GRF that Replaces the PBS Signals into PBS Signals from TTDPatch!

<Reedited Post>

[RL Conroy]

I wanna put the PBS Signal Replacement on GRFCrawler but i Can't Upload a Picture!
I met all the Requirements to Upload it but it says this to me when i do that:

Invalid chars like / ' \ or spaces

What can i do to make it work?

And also what means this Code:

Code: Select all

511 * 6        07 85 01 \70 3B F2
512 * 6        07 86 01 \70 04 F1

(Included in openttdw.grf)
Is this the Code to Allow More Graphics (Semaphores) for on Driving Side?
Can someone Explain it?
Because at TTDPatch Wiki thay say Nothing about it.
Or i'm Looking on the Wrong place

[FooBar]

What can i do to make it work?

Use a different filename, like one with just letters and/or numbers.

And also what means this Code:

Action 7 property 85 and 86 respectively, read one byte, skip if flag 3B and 04 respectively are not set, skip F2 and F1 sprites respectively (or skip to labels F2 and F1 respectively).
The wiki has the exact details. If you want to know something about an action 7, you need not look at a varaction2 page. Look here instead: http://wiki.ttdpatch.net/tiki-index.php?page=Action7

[RL Conroy]

So that means i can use this Code to Create Signals Depending on the Switch "Show Signals to Drive Side"?
I hope so because then i can Complete my "PBS Signal Replacement" GRF!

[Timmaexx]

Those signals are looking very similar to MB's ones, aren't they?

[RL Conroy]

...Um yes they are but is that not good then?
micheal blunck said this some posts ago:

The (older) signals.grf is under the GPL, though. Those signals are also part of TTDPatch.grf and OTTD.

If it is not Good that this GRF is Here i will Remove it at once.

[Timmaexx]

I just wanted to publish my opinion, not to accuse you!
If the NewGRF is under GPLv2 you can do whatever you want to do with that

[Yexo]

If the NewGRF is under GPLv2 you can do whatever you want to do with that

That is not true. If the original is licensed under GPLv2, then you have to publish your modified version also under GPLv2. That means you have to publish your source code, which I don't see yet in this topic. In fact I see no license at all in this topic, which would default to "it's mine, you can't do anything with it" and which is definitely not compatible to the GPL.

[planetmaker]

...Um yes they are but is that not good then?

The (older) signals.grf is under the GPL, though.

A GPL license implies not "I can use it and do whatever with it". You only can re-use GPL'ed work when:
- you always give the right credits: indicate what is your work and what is the work of others (whose?) correctly
- you always supply the license which MUST remain GPL.
- you offer to supply the source code for at least three years; the compiled grf is not the source code. You may alternatively publish the source.
