No they can be preserved I did it for HEQS. If I remember correctly, don't use IDs 00-57h for newgrf vehicles.

The latest version of this grf doesn't replace the buses. Make sure you're using Generic Cars v0.4 and not v0.1.

Ah yes, that would indeed be the solution. I kinda forgot that you also can go higher than the default IDs with the engine pool.

Anyways, with the current grf as it is, using OpenGFX+Roadvehicles is a nice solution to get the normal buses back.

Odd, that's what it says in the in-game content thing.

That description appears to be out of date; perhaps if Zephyris reads this he can update it. Have you actually tried the grf in a game?

I just tried it and it doesn't replace the buses. Thanks.

Hi all... I'm not clear what the issue is. The version in BaNaNaS is the latest (0.4) and I believe works correctly. What is the problem?

The issue was that bman was using an older version. As I understand it the problem is now solved by updating to the latest version.

The in-game description mentions about replacing buses and company colours, neither of which apply to the latest version - I believe this was the cause of the problem. Perhaps you could give this text an update to avoid any further confusion?

I love using this mod with StreetTraffic but I like playing in the past before this mod comes into play, I had some ideas for a set of earlier vehicles and I managed to reverse engineer this set to include them instead of the current cars, can I get permission to release it when I'm done changing the sprites? I read through the license included and it seems like it should be fine but I thought I'd ask for permission and make sure. Only parts of the code will be the same.

I've been mandate to using Generic Cars when start a game begins over 12 years, but there's should be revamped to new version.

If Generic Cars should update again, i get a new suggestions :
- Parameter options must be always :

• Choose color schemes : Company Colored, Original, Rainbow
• Choose speed limits when drive : Low, Normal, High
• Enable cost, if press say 'yes' or 'no'

- New car types should be add more such as :

• Suzuki Swift
• Volkswagen Golf
• Suzuki Wagon R
• Toyota Corolla
• Toyota Corolla Hatchback (fka Auris)
• Honda Jazz/Fit
• Toyota Yaris/Vitz
• Cyberpunk-inspired hatchback car (available between 2070-2100)

- New car sound effects
