Transport Tycoon Forums

Hi all, first time user of OpenTTD, long time player of TTD here. I've been scouring the online content experimenting with NewGRFs and I'm wondering if it's possible to edit only the title and/or detailed information portion of any NewGRFs, assuming the License permits it. Is there an editor available to that effect or some other way to do it? I had no luck searching for an answer so far...

First, you'd need to get the language file from a GRF file. Once you do that, it should be relatively easy to do it. I'm not sure what you can use to get the language file from a GRF file.

NewGRF files are not something you can simply edit using some kind of editor.
Many of the NewGRF are open source projects, so if you can identify the source (they should be detailed in the README for the given NewGRF), you can download the source, edit it, and compile it for your need.

Thank you both for your help, will try to track down some source codes.

Or, failing that, you can try contacting the author of the set to see if they would make a modification for you. But generally most sets are open source so you can modify them yourself without needing permission. Depending on the set it will be coded using either NFO or NML. There is online documentation to help you understand both, as well as a development forum for coders where you can ask questions.
