Quite the contrary, this seems like an amazingly useful feature to make it easier to scroll through all the tracktypes you have installed. I'd love to have this, it seems extremely useful, especially now that OpenTTD allows for up to 64 railtypes. So I was wondering what this is from.michael blunck wrote:Yeah.

LOL. For what purpose would you "need" 64 railtypes? And seriously, information derived from a 16 x 16 icon would be quite limited. Especially in contrast to such large number.Erato wrote: Quite the contrary, this seems like an amazingly useful feature to make it easier to scroll through all the tracktypes you have installed.

I admit it... 64 railtypes is about useless, as even with this GRF, Maglev Track Types, Vacuum Tube or others, you're not even at 32, so unless you want to make very special-looking railtypes, 64 isn't useful.michael blunck wrote:Erato wrote:For what purpose would you "need" 64 railtypes?

How would one provide such sprites? There is no such callback in the NML Specs. When included, how would they be made visible?peter1138 wrote:<snip>When provided with appropriate icon it's somewhat prettier, as below. These icons are not new, they are provided by the default rail types and rail type sets are able to (and should) provide them too, but it seems many authors did not do so.

It is simply one of the gui sprites (you can probably guess which from the screenshot).Erato wrote:How would one provide such sprites? There is no such callback in the NML Specs. When included, how would they be made visible?

I have seen Peter's screenshot of a 256 railtypes menu.kamnet wrote: Give it five years and we'll have players pushing up against the 64 limit.
I thought as much, but I already have all 16 gui sprites drawn & defined and still nothing.Michi_cc wrote:It is simply one of the gui sprites (you can probably guess which from the screenshot).Erato wrote:How would one provide such sprites?

This minor feature is not in any release yet. However if the icons appear in the construction tool bar correctly, it will also work in the list when it does get released. It will NOT be in 1.9.Erato wrote:I thought as much, but I already have all 16 gui sprites drawn & defined and still nothing.

How would I, as a developer, get the game to recognise these symbols. Are they a 17th gui sprite, for instance?peter1138 wrote:This minor feature is not in any release yet.

No, it's simply the existing second icon within the GUI sprites.Erato wrote:How would I, as a developer, get the game to recognise these symbols. Are they a 17th gui sprite, for instance?
I see. Seeing as it is still in development, can it be made into a separate GUI sprite, which would default to the second icon when not defined specifically?peter1138 wrote:No, it's simply the existing second icon within the GUI sprites.Erato wrote:How would I, as a developer, get the game to recognise these symbols.

Vehicles have a provision to provide separate GUI sprites for purchase list and different GUI purposes... via callback or extra_callback_info1 in particular: https://newgrf-specs.tt-wiki.net/wiki/N ... tes_in_GUI / https://newgrf-specs.tt-wiki.net/wiki/Action2/Vehiclespeter1138 wrote:No, it's simply the existing second icon within the GUI sprites.Erato wrote:How would I, as a developer, get the game to recognise these symbols.

That definitely sounds like a bad feature. A better feature would be the ability to specifically choose a tunnel head style.Quast65 wrote:tracktypes with only differences in the look of tunnels
