Could somebody with cargo & temperate graphic sets installed, attach their vehicle.dat file please? For some reason I haven't got this file in the TTDLX folder, is there anyway I can generate one?

just edit vehicle names again and it will generate this DAT file again

Meaning

I use TTDTranslator for changing the vehicle names.

so names are storing in GameGFX.exe (or ttdx.exe) file

yes

names storing in vehicle.dat are names diffirent than in TTD *.EXE file ...

so what for you vehicle.dat file ??

ok i'm running ttdpatchw, is TTDtranslator the best prog to use to edit the patched vehicle names?

you cannot edit new vehicles with TTDTranslator (can you?) .... the best idea to edit names is to edit them in game, during playing TTD !! (there is 'Rename')

I don't rename new vehicles becouse most of the time they do have the right names!

And for shadow, you can change the names of any normal vehicle with ttdtranslator. You don't need a .dat file.

BUT we are talking about PATCHED vehicles from MB Sets

I thought the question was why he didn't had a vehicle.dat :?:

But no you can't change them, but why would you change them? They're ok I think

That puzzles me, how come you can't change their names with ttdpttxt.new file using mkpttxt
I see the new shipnames, so it's possible to change those names

you WILL probably but not now....

anyway THERE IS option to change their names .... rename them in TTD ... everything will be saved to vehicles.dat (I dont know if it works but you can try)
