Upgrade to nightly fails to load required graphics.
Posted: 07 Jun 2008 22:45
I'm new to this, and I'm still learning how to get TTD to work "right" for me. I recently (two weeks ago) rediscovered the game, and so got the patch. Wanting to get various functions/grfs that were only possible with the nightly (and trying to fix an odd bug with pikka's refittable wagons), I switched to it.
First thing I know, the required graphics now refuse to load. The newgrfw.cfg is correct (one line: "newgrf/ttdpbasew.grf", other grfs, if present, load fine) as far as I can tell, and the .grf is not missing. I've removed everything else to try and troubleshoot, bu that doesn't seem to work. Also deleted ttdpatch.cfg, which did not help.
I'm not clear whether this is because I did not use the command line when switching version (this did not cause problems when switching from 2.0 to 2.5) or because of my permanent bad luck.
