I believe the warning message is clear enough: "ECS Town Vector needs to be loaded before ECS Machine Vector". Read the manual to make sure where exactly ECS Town Vector needs to be placed, I'm positive this matter is covered in the manual.

To explain, the grfs are loaded in the order they are specified. Ie TTDP loads the first grf, then the second, the third and so on. This means two things.

1. That it something is loaded, and another GRF is loaded using the same graphics ID's, the second one will take precidence (for example, I load the Canadian Set AFTER the DB Set, and end up with Canadian Stuff replacing the DB stuff)
2. That some GRF's require a "parent" GRF to be loaded first. So, when you need something loading BEFORE something else, pop it above that in the GRF.

I'm not sure if it's covered completely in the manual, as I learned all this from the DB Set manual... :)).

Hope that helps solve the problem.
