Put your grf into the data-folder

add this to your cfg:

[newgrf]
set1.grf
set2.grf

where you replace set1/set2 with the name of the grf.
That should work!!
Most grf's work, e.g. DBSETXLW.grf (but 0.8 doesn't work good, if you have take 0.71)
Most other sets will work too.
afaik the stations and houses doesn't work yet!

Sets have proper names, so "longvehicles" would be set with long vehicles, "USset" would be set with USA vehicles

its loads them as it loads them, overiting as it goes, so, bottom of list has priority.
JPG SUX!!! USE PNG!!!
There are times when JPG is useful, TTD screenshots is not one of them. Please use PNG instead.

Ok thanks for that, oh and well i don't really follow NRL, i follow RU, or rugby union. You know, the code existed before NRL, and was just modified into that game by a bunch of people, don't know who though. QLD REDS finnished the Super 12 at 9th i think (12 teams, expnading to super 14 with 14 teams next year).

And maybe, in acouple of years an Argentine team will join super 16 or something for training and stuff. But i might not happen... I doubt we'll send a team to Australia.

And i dont follow league, but everyone talks about it. Rugby union all the way.... go EASTWOOD WOODIES!!!

they where talking about it, but the plane ride is just to damn long for a 2 day stinit there or so before the game, and then back home the next day. And it would be worse for the SA teams, not that have a chance in hell anyway, but still :wink: So until jets get faster, no go on the argentina team.

Where do you live? Your location says sydney, so yes the train there, but in argentina, they do have to go back to aus for the next game, and most of the time they obly spend about 3 max days bfore the game.

This is getting a bit offtopic, so to keep it on topic, when will the nightly builds support a higher sprite count?

now that thats over, they would stay for the season here. maybe go back once in a while. how long is it between games? (if they came back and fowards, too jetlagged, would be bad for game)

Every week there is a game. now 4 teams south africa, 4 teams aus (does some maths) 6 teams NZ. Each team gets about 6 or 5 home games now, 6/5 away with one week off, and i assume it will be simila when super 14 comes in.

So yeah i can't get, um, the euro roadset working why is that....

I've a problem. I can't get the grf-files activated.
I can see them in the "Newgrf-settings" window. But I can't select them :(

Any idea how to activate them?

I've this in my openttd.cfg:

Code: Select all

[newgrf]
newshipsw.grf
planesetw_459.grf
a380_a380-f_gr_447.grf
I'm using nightly build R3077

Thanks

the newgrfs aren't fully supported yet, so you can only see what grfs are loaded
