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.
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.
