i don't have these problems, maybe are due to the new release where i hadn't tried it yet

I think you would be better off making a page on the wiki at http://openttd.rulez.org/wiki-new/tiki-index.php.

cargoset add only some wagons like "chemical tank" or "car transporter", to do this it use some wagon IDs from toyland, this why if cargoset is enabled you can't play toyland well

i found that in DBset the tender graphic is short than the other wagon graphics, so there is a gap between the tender and the wagons, you can see it well when the train is in horizontal track

Hi Folks!

I am a Newbie to OpenTTD and I just wanted to ask if someone can give me a tutorial to adding a new trainset. It would be this one:

http://www.ewetel.net/~michael.blunck/ttd/

First of all: Is this trainset usable within OpenTTD and how do I install it?
And do the old trains disappear as soon as it's installed?

Thanks for your help!

Quick note, think this might have been mentioned already, but newgrf support seem to be completly broken in nightly builds from the last week or so.

yes, it is so, we wait for the support patch, but we have to wait some time

at this time you can only use a few sets, for example dbset (not xl)

add this lines to your ottd-config:

0 = tempsetw.grf
1 = newshipsw.grf
2 = dbsetw.grf
3 = fencew.grf
4 = cargosetw.grf

Okay! Thank you very much!

Small question: What is "fencew.grf"?

And what do I have to do if I want to use dbsetw.grf and play a game in the tropic graphic set?
I have tried to start a game in tropic set in the year 2000 and I have no trains available at all!

fencew.grf is just another fence. But i think it doesn't work jet.
But cargoset should work.
dbset is for temperate, i think it wont't work in arctic.

Is there any way to use the dbsetw for temperate and the standard set for tropic set at the same time?

Or can I use the special set for tropic at the same time that I use the dbsetw for temperate? I think there are some problems with the tropic set and OpenTTD right?

there are switches in the grafik-set information for what type of climate it is avaiable.
You can load all graphics, a graphic made for temperate would only work in temperate climate.
(it would be psooible to allow dbset for tropic, if someone would want this, but ther is a copyright on the db-set by MB. )

Can I alter these switches? Like switching them on or off for a certain
graphic set?

If yes... where can I do it?

Thanks for your help!

you must decode the grf-file, change the switch and encode it again.
it is not very easy but possible

Puh... ok... I guess when it comes to "decoding" and "encoding" I rather leave it becaue I am not so much into programming... I guess you could do it with a program called "grfwizard" or am I wrong?
