I dont have a drop down list to change the type of station I use in OpenTTD.

I have installed the .grf files and edited the .cfg to match. The files are appearing in the in game grf list but i cant change the type of station from the default.

Is there something else I need to do? a switch in the cfg file for instance.

What version of OpenTTD are you using?

I've tried on 4.7, 4.8 and the most recent nightly build, the little arrow isnt appearing in the corner of the station box like it did in TTD patch, so I can only use the default station

Newstations is only in the latest nightlies. (http://nightly.openttd.org)

Put the GRF files into the /data/ folder, and enter the .grf names (no /data/ folder or /newgrf/ folder needed) under [newgrf] at the bottom of openttd.cfg.

When ingame, the station GUI should be like this: http://wiki.openttd.org/index.php/Image ... onsgui.png

Here's a pic of my cfg file with a couple of the new stats entered.

They appear in the in game GRF list but the GUI is still not active.

Maybe i'm not installing the nightly properly?

I download the file (OTTD-win32-nightly-r5595.zip) and then extract it to the ottd directory, allowing it to replace files where needed. Then I run OTTD as normal. Is this correct or have I missed something?

Thanks for your help - this is really starting to bug me.

Ignore the newgrf list in the menu; it doesnt work... so even if a newgrf is correctly loaded and working, it will still appear with a red dot. (Personally I would like to see the whole option disabled until this is fixed, but thats unlikely).

When you try to place a station, it should show a dialog like pic1. It shows the set (default station), and the stations in the set.

Click on the set drop down (at the top). It shows the list of available newgrf station sets you have added to your .cfg. Pic 2.

I then clicked on Silverline (one of the PGS sets). It then shows the available stations in that set. Pic 3.

You should get this with any nightly. If not, delete your config.cfg, and let the nightly create a new one. Then cut/paste your old newgrf list back in.

Tried letting the nightly create a new CFG, still had no effect (picture of the available GUI is attached). I think i may be using the nightly wrong. Am i correct in thinking i just download the zip file and then extract it to the ottd directory - also should i be updating from version 4.7 or 4.8?

I get the feeling that i'm missing something really obvious here, thanks for all the help.

Can you tell us what the version number is on the top of the main menu please? This will tell us if you have the nightly or not.

its 0.4.7, i guess the nightly isnt active (i did have 0.4.8 running but still had the same problem with pgs)

Guess i'm not installing the nightly properly - how did you do it?

You should just download the latest nightly zip file, but to be sure, unzip it to the desktop, and then manually replace the files yourself, making sure they get replaced. That should do it.

The latest nightlies are newer than 0.4.8, so yes, you can upgrade.

that did it. Very strange!

Many Thanks for all your help, my rail network is already starting to look much better!

I used to have problems with unzipping software never actually replacing anything, just saying it was. I thought it may have been that.

I also have a problem with the generic staions.
I have installed openttd 4.0.8 and copy the files from the nighly build 6239 over the openttd folder.

I have added this lines in the oppenttd.cfg file The game is showing that I am playing r6239, but in the game I only have name on the default stations. The new one I can choose but the name are blank, so it is a bit difficult. What can be wrong??

Same here.
I am not sure if the problem is only with PGS.

Anyway, it has already been fixed in r6289.

Thanks..

So I have to wait for the r6289, since the nightly build are only at r6282???

Yes, you have to wait another 6 hours

You could also compile the trunk yourself, Like I do when I need things.
