Bit / Value / Variable 0C value / Callback
0 1 10 Powered wagons and visual effect
1 2 11 Wagon length
2 4 12 Load amount
3 8 15 Set refitted capacity
4 10 16 Build articulated engines
5 20 19 show a suffix after the cargo type name
6 40 2D Select color mapping for vehicle
7 80 33 Sound effect callbacks
Adding 2 (Wagon length) + 8 (Set refitted capacity) + 10 (Build articulated engines) = 20
but 20 is the bit value for "show a suffix after the cargo type name".
Are the posted bit values incorrect or does the Patch have some way of knowing what I want?

2+8+10 = 1A
Think in hex and everything will make sense. Or possibly completely stop making sense.

Actually, I figured it out just before your reply landed on my desk.
so now everything makes perfectly good sense, although a note somewhere in the wiki for us novice coders might save some desks from severe headbanging damage.
Thanks for the reply.

Go for it. You have a far better idea what would have gotten you to think hex from the start than I have.

EEK! I'm caught somewhere between "I thought you'd never ask" and "I was afraid you'd ask".
Fair enough. I'll chalk the experience up to the learning process.
Before I do this, are you aware of any bit-masks in NewGraphicSpecs that are summed in DEC rather than HEX and if so, which ones(s)?

I'm not aware of any that are in decimal. (If it mentions 10, 20, 40, and/or 80, it's hex. If it mentions 16, 32, 64, and/or 128, it's decimal. If it mentions some from group A and some from group B, it's broken.)
And if I found one in decimal, I'd promptly edit it into hex.

Bitmasks make no sense in decimal.

Ok ... I have done my damag... erm ... duty, in the
Preliminaries section which looked most appropriate as it already had a section on HEX.
