On the subject of a sprite limit, I'll point out something I noticed when I installed the new miniIN. Before using this I was using many different GRFs, mostly for stations and such, and then I installed a newer version and the limit seems to be smaller.


Also, 4LV doesn't seem to work on my OpenTTD, it just seems to come up with the normal trucks, and a few from toyland.

MiniIN has a few extra dedicated graphics files that use up another 4-500 sprites. Mostly this is for snow-in-temperate, where you get the snow on the green slopes. Copy/paste adds another few sprites.

darn it!!! 4lv doesn't work with ussset! I have to disable almost every grf in my cfg!!!!!!

Maybe I didn't post it correctly, sorry.

I was using an older MiniIN, I can't remember which one though.

So is there a way to fix this problem then?

Not until the sprite limit gets increased. And that isn't a five minute job, else it would be done already.

It depends on which older MiniIN you were using. Drive-through Road Stops uses a few more sprites. Diagonal Level Crossings uses up some more.

Yeah, it's odd. It had diagonal stops and drive-through stops.

but i thought all you had to do to increase limit was to uncompile, make a tinny change, recompile and then you done--see my attcahment
EDIT: What's the difference between this error message and the first one?

Those OpenTTD developers usually know what they're talking about.

Could you please rephrase you post? Are you talking to me? If so, I was just taliking about the error message and what it ment, not questioning about the sprite limit

The difference is that this error is probably from an old version of OTTD.

i have a HUGE list and never reached the sprite limit. amongst them are the UKRS, av8, around 20 newstation grfs etc. of which i'll post a list later on.

Its the long vehicles

yup long veicle they take up like a billin sprites. But I can't bear to part with them!!

Well not untill a decent vehicle replacement set has been released.

do you know what makes the lvs have so many sprites?

Because George put a lot of sprites into LV4?

Because 8 sprites per cargo per vehicle for ~20 cargos and ~40 vehicles is a lot of sprites?
