Which Patch version?
Did you add the GRF to newgrf[w].cfg?
Did you enable the file with the in-game newgrf status window?

Patch version is... "TTD patch 2.0 rev 1" i downloaded it from...http://www.ttdpatch.net/ (the two downloads on the front-page, windows version)

,and yes i have done the last 2 options.
this happens with many things aswell. cannals is another one!
do you know how i can get hold of any "newer" versions if there are any? i have tried for the last week or so, but still no luck.

Try the source code page on the ttdpatch website.

Note that these are alpha versions and so may not be completely stable (a37's done alright so far though)

You don't have a37 then. http://www.ttdpatch.net/src if you want a direct link to the source/alpha DL page.

Yes, install the new patch directly over the old one.

PS. There's an edit button. In future use it or be shouted at by people.

Are you USING THE Image BUTTON!!!

Do you have any of the newstation grfs? (newstatsw.grf, usstatsw.grf, jcindstaw.grf)

Are they listed in your newgrfw.cfg?

Are you posting your screenshots in .png format, so those of us who can't read PCXen can see what you're talking about?

Hello.
I have the US set, US stations and the industrial stations but the train set will not work any more :cry: . It used to, but now all I get is 'ussetw.grf has invalid sprite #3,873'. :shock:
I am running alpha 37 but could revert to an older version. Although I shouldn't need to :? .

Does anybody know a solution to this problem?

[Edit: I must congratulate all the people who worked on this set. I thoroughly enjoy playing it and once I get more time I will have a crack at coding and drawing. I would like to lend a hand somewhere once I have the technique down :wink: ]

Check your newgrf[w].cfg and ensure that things are in the correct order, as listed in the readme.

I checked, but my newgrfw.cfg consists of this :roll:

newgrf/cargosetw.grf
newgrf/ussetw.grf

I have also checked to see if the 'newtrains' and 'electrifiedrails' switches are on. (Which they are)

[Edit: I have version 0.83.1]
