Small request: updating newgrf homepage

Hi. Recently had to download and reinstall everything from scratch. I found it odd and annoying that the snowline.grf isn't available from the main page. :?: Just a thought.

Also, Patchman, if you remember this thread about the modded trkfound(w).grf ... well, that's never made it onto the homepage either. (I thought The Irish was going to hound you about that ;) ).

Well, snowline.grf is really just a test grf. I want it to be difficult to find because it's rather silly without a set of buildings and whatnot that support different graphics above the snowline.

As for trkfound, I'm building a new "general TTDPatch graphics" file which will include all those for 2.5.

Sweet. :thumbsup:

I just found it odd that running a "ttdpatchw -W ttdpatch.cfg" to get a fresh new cfg produced the snowline setting option, yet the grf wasn't "obviously" available (a bit like having the electrifiedrailway line produced by "-W"-ing and no link/file of MB's elrails).

If you change the snowline in a temperate game your towns will get puzzled because there aren't the right above snowline versions there. It's still only a dev grf.

And now to something different - advertising!

AlpineClimate will give you everything what "snowline in temperate" only promises but doesn´t keep:

- snowy trees, buildings and industries,
- original temperate buildings, industries and cargoes,
- a snowline varying with seasons.
