NewGRF vehicles are shown als airplanes

Post by Danneels »

Hi,
I started a new game with some NewGRF's loaded. And when I build an eGRVTS vehicle (horse-drawn passenger carriage) it shows up on my roads as this:

The following newGRF's are loaded:

Could somebody please help me out with this problem

Do you also have this problem when you start a new game?

What do you mean?
It's when I start a new game and buy a horse-drawn vehicle, I see airplanes on my road instead of the horse-drawn vehicle.

Your best bet is to try with different subsets of your NewGRF list to see which one is colliding with which one. Also read the description of your NewGRFs and make sure you have fulfilled their requirements and have chosen compatible NewGRFs.

I've solved the problem by putting the eGRVTS GRF on top of the GRF-list.
But now there are other vehicles that aren't shown properly.
They aren't always shown as airplanes, but by (random?) things from other GRF's (like a piece of the Industrial Station Renawel set)
So I think the eGRVTS GRF itself isn't the problem...

Looks like you have some many (vehicle) NewGRFs in your list that you're overflowing some (sprite) limit. If that's true the only solution will be to use less NewGRFs in a single game.

I knew there was a GRF-limit but didn't know there was a sprite limit.
Anyway, thanks. I just removed some GRF's and it's working fine now.
It was hard though to choose one to remove :P

A question out of curiosity: Are you really using all vehicles of 4 train sets? (not even considering all the other vehicles).
I already have too much choice with just one.

I was just starting the game, so I wasn't really using one engine yet :p
But I don't think I would be using them all in the future.
I mostly pick some sets because I like some engines or wagons of them.
Like the Japanese train set, I just added them to have some more variety for monorail.
So I have to load the whole set just to use the monorails...
It would actually be better that you would be able to chose just the trains you need from a particular set.
But as far as I know that isn't possible (yet?)

That counts as another suggestion :p

Some NewGRF have parameters to set what part you like to have, but in general, indeed either you get all or you get none.

Have fun playing OpenTTD !

The world airliners set maxes out the sprite limit quickly. Get av8 instead amd you can keep the other sets.

Which absolutely makes no sense.

Everybody plays his game in his own way.
If it really makes no sense, I will notice it after playing a while.
And then I can make some conclusions for myself whether I need some GRF's or not.

Who said it had to make any sense? It's a game. And, at least to me, OpenTTD is like having a nice magic toybox full of every toy I could imagine. And, if the toy isn't there, I can make it myself. :-)
