Ok, I can't figure out how to install new graphics for OpenTTD. I'm loving the whole Open thing though. After having played the original TT, TTD, Locomotion, TTDpatch I think Open really is quite impressive. But I would like some new graphics! I've followed the instructions exactly, adding the extra lines, putting the grf file(s) in /data and when I try to open the game it comes up with an error message saying "NewGRF file missing: ..."

Anyone help? Please? I've been trying it with grf files that are on the Wiki list of ones compatable with OpenTTD, so I don't understand what's going on.

Help would be very much appreciated. As I'm sure you can tell, my understanding of computers is somewhat limited...

What did you exactly write?
The above in your openttd.cfg will look for dbsetxlw.grf in the data/ directory for example. If you put something like data/dbsetxlw.grf it will look in data/data.

I've got the new graphic files in a folder in data called newgrf

At the bottom of openttd it says:

[newgrf]
newgrf/pb_hovs_bus.grf
newgrf/pb_hovs_bus_d.grf
newgrf/newstatsw.grf

...

And I still get the error message "NewGRF file missing: ..."

Maybe I'm just doomed to never have new graphics...

And what directory are the grf files in?

After seeing code "newgrf/pb_hovs_bus.grf", game will look for data/newgrf/pb_hovs_bus.grf

Also, you probably don't need both the windows and DOS version of the grf.

Sorted!

I realised there were three dots at the end of the document "..." and the game was trying to load that as a newgrf, obviously finding nothing, hence the error message.

Working now! Yeeehaaa! Well, thanks for all the help, and keep up with the GREAT OpenTTD graphics work.
