<h2>NewGRF Road Stops Addition to NewGRF Specifications in JGR's Patchpack</h2>
<p>This document describes the non-standard addition of the NewGRF road stops feature to the <ahref="https://newgrf-specs.tt-wiki.net/wiki/Main_Page">Official OpenTTD NewGRF Specifications</a>, as implemented in this patchpack.</br>
This feature does not match OpenTTD PR #7955 in a number of key areas, this feature may not necessarily match implementations of NewGRF road stops in other patches, branches, etc.</br>
This feature as implemented here MAY also be present in other patchpacks.</p>
<p>See the <ahref="newgrf-additions.html">NewGRF additions</a> document for background information on additions to the NewGRF specifications.</p>
<p>A subset of the functionality listed below is also supported in a fork of NML, see the associated <ahref="newgrf-roadstops-nml.html">NML road stops</a> and <ahref="newgrf-additions-nml.html">NML additions</a> documents for more details.</p>
<p>NewGRFs which use this feature SHOULD use the <ahref="newgrf-additions.html#feature-test">feature testing</a> mechanism to check whether the road stop feature and/or feature ID mapping is supported.</p>
<p>NewGRFs which use this feature MUST use the <ahref="newgrf-additions.html#feature-id-mapping">feature ID mapping</a> mechanism to map the non-standard NewGRF road stop feature to a local feature ID.</p>
<p>This feature is indicated by the feature name: <fontface="monospace">road_stops</font>, version 1.<br/>
The feature name to use for feature ID mapping is <fontface="monospace">road_stops</font>.<br/>
Features/properties/variables which require a higher version will indicate the required version. Unless indicated otherwise these will fall back to doing nothing on versions which do not support them.</p>

All classes except WAYP are used for bus and/or lorry stops.<br/>
This functions the same way as <ahref="https://newgrf-specs.tt-wiki.net/wiki/Action0/Stations#Station_class_.2808.29">station (feature 4) property 08</a>.<br/>
The property length is 4 bytes.
</p>
<h4id="roadstop_stop_type">Road stop type availability (09, or mappable property: roadstop_stop_type)</h4>
<p>This property sets the road stop type availability, this is ignored for road stops in the WAYP class.<br/>
The property length is 1 byte. The format is:
<table>
<tr><th>Value</th><th>Meaning</th></tr>
<tr><td>0</td><td>Passenger/bus stop</td></tr>
<tr><td>1</td><td>Freight/lorry stop</td></tr>
<tr><td>2</td><td>Both passenger/bus and freight/lorry stops</td></tr>
</table>
The default value is 2 (both bus and lorry stops).
</p>
<h4id="roadstop_stop_name">Road stop name (0A, or mappable property: roadstop_stop_name)</h4>
<p>This property sets the road stop name string ID.<br/>
The property length is 2 bytes. This should be a D8xx or DCxx string ID.</p>
<h4id="roadstop_class_name">Road stop class name (0B, or mappable property: roadstop_class_name)</h4>
<p>This property sets the road stop class name string ID.<br/>
The property length is 2 bytes. This should be a D8xx or DCxx string ID.</p>
<h4id="roadstop_draw_mode">Road stop draw mode (0C, or mappable property: roadstop_draw_mode)</h4>
<p>This property sets the road stop draw mode.<br/>
<tr><td>2</td><td>4</td><td>Road waypoints: Draw sprite layout ground sprite on top of the underlying road (by default the sprite layout ground sprite is not used)</td></tr>
<h4id="roadstop_random_trigger_cargoes">Road stop random trigger cargoes (0D, or mappable property: roadstop_random_trigger_cargoes)</h4>
<p>This property sets the cargo types for random triggers.<br/>
This functions the same way as <ahref="https://newgrf-specs.tt-wiki.net/wiki/Action0/Stations#Cargo_types_for_random_triggers_.2812.29">station (feature 4) property 12</a>.<br/>
This sets which cargo types should trigger re-randomizing. The cargo types are given as a bitmask of the bits from column 3 (type B) in CargoTypes. If nothing is set (the default), the no random triggers will happen, to conserve CPU time.<br/>
With GRF version 7 and above, the interpretation of bits changes. Instead of climate-dependent cargo slot numbers (type B), you have to set the bits of climate-independent cargo ID (type A).<br/>
The property length is 4 bytes.</p>
<h4id="roadstop_animation_info">Road stop animation info (0E, or mappable property: roadstop_animation_info)</h4>
<p>This property sets the cargo types for random triggers.<br/>
This functions the same way as <ahref="https://newgrf-specs.tt-wiki.net/wiki/Action0/Stations#Animation_information_.2816.29">station (feature 4) property 16</a>.<br/>
The low byte specifies the number of animation frames minus one, so 00 means 1 frame, 01 means 2 frames etc. The maximum number of frames is 256, although you can have some problems if your animation exceeds FD (253) frames.
The high byte must be 0 for non-looping animations and 01 for looping animations. Every other value is reserved for future use.
In addition, if the whole word contains FFFF, animation is turned off for this station (this is the default value). Since you can't have properties for individual station tiles, this property applies for every tile of the station.
If you don't want to animate some tiles, you should check the current position during callback 140 and return FD if the current tile doesn't need to be animated. If you also need animations of different length per tile, you'll have to use callback 141 for that.<br/>
The property length is 2 bytes.</p>
<h4id="roadstop_animation_speed">Road stop animation speed (0F, or mappable property: roadstop_animation_speed)</h4>
<p>This property sets the cargo types for random triggers.<br/>
This functions the same way as <ahref="https://newgrf-specs.tt-wiki.net/wiki/Action0/Stations#Animation_speed_.2817.29">station (feature 4) property 17</a>.<br/>
This is the amount of time between switching frames. The default value is 2, which means the switch occurs every 108 milliseconds. Increasing this value by one doubles the wait, i.e. 3 will cause 216 ms delay, while 4 will pause 432 ms, and so on.
The minimum is 0, which means the fastest possible animation, changing frames every game tick (27ms). The maximum is 16, which means 1769 seconds (approx. half an hour) delay. Settings above this value may cause strange behaviour.<br/>
The property length is 1 byte.</p>
<h4id="roadstop_animation_triggers">Road stop animation triggers (10, or mappable property: roadstop_animation_triggers)</h4>
<p>This property sets the cargo types for random triggers.<br/>
This functions the same way as <ahref="https://newgrf-specs.tt-wiki.net/wiki/Action0/Stations#Animation_triggers_.2818.29">station (feature 4) property 18</a>.<br/>
This is a bit mask of events that should trigger callback 140, allowing to change the animation state.<br/>
For bits 1 and 2: bits 8..15 of var 18 contain the triggering cargo type. If your GRF has a cargo translation table, the cargo type will be an index in that table, or FFh if the cargo isn't in the table. If you don't have a cargo translation table, the cargo type will simply be the climate-dependent cargo type number.</p>
<h4id="roadstop_callback_mask">Road stop callback flags (11, or mappable property: roadstop_callback_mask)</h4>
<p>This property enables callbacks for this road stop type.<br/>
<tr><td>0</td><td>1</td><td>13</td><td>Whether to make road stop available in construction window (non-zero callback return) or not (callback returns zero)</td></tr>
<tr><td>1</td><td>2</td><td>141</td><td>Decide next animation frame</td></tr>
<tr><td>1</td><td>2</td><td>Do not show one way road overlay sprites, this should only be set if different graphics are provided for the different one-way states using bits 0..1 of variable 50.</td></tr>
<tr><td>5</td><td>20</td><td>Only show in the road build menu (not tram).</br>This requires <fontface="monospace">road_stops</font>, version 4.</td></tr>
<tr><td>6</td><td>40</td><td>Only show in the tram build menu (not road).</br>This requires <fontface="monospace">road_stops</font>, version 4.</td></tr>
<tr><td>8</td><td>100</td><td>Read the road stop draw mode from variable 0x100, this overrides the <ahref="#roadstop_draw_mode">roadstop_draw_mode</a> property.</br>This requires <fontface="monospace">road_stops</font>, version 9.</td></tr>
<h4id="roadstop_min_bridge_height">Road stop minimum bridge heights (13, or mappable property: roadstop_min_bridge_height)</h4>
<p>This property allows or disallows building bridges over road stops.<br/>
The bridge height property defines minimum clearances required for a bridge for each of the 6 views/rotations (or 0 to not allow any bridge). Values are given in height level units (1 level == 8px).<br/>
Each height value is 1 byte, the total property length is 6 bytes.
</p>
<h4id="roadstop_disallowed_bridge_pillars">Road stop disallowed bridge pillars (14, or mappable property: roadstop_disallowed_bridge_pillars)</h4>
<p>This property describes which bridge pillars are not allowed on the road stop tile.<br/>
It consists of a set of pillar flags, for each of the 6 road stop views/rotations.<br/>
Each set of flags is 1 byte, the total property length is 6 bytes.<br/>
Each set of flags has the format described in the <ahref="newgrf-additions.html#bridge_pillar_flags">bridge_pillar_flags property section</a>.

Note that a road vehicle arrives trigger does not imply that the stop was previously empty, and a road vehicle leaves trigger does not imply that the stop is now empty.</p>
<p>
Also note that none of the above triggers will actually trigger unless <ahref="#roadstop_random_trigger_cargoes">property 0D/roadstop_random_trigger_cargoes</a> has at least one bit set.<br/>
Triggers 01 will be triggered for any of the cargo types set in <ahref="#roadstop_random_trigger_cargoes">property 0D/roadstop_random_trigger_cargoes</a>, but trigger 02 will only be triggered if all of those cargo types have no more cargo waiting.<br/>
Triggers 04 and 08 are triggered no matter what cargo types the train transports, as long as <ahref="#roadstop_random_trigger_cargoes">property 0D/roadstop_random_trigger_cargoes</a> is not zero.<br/>
Triggers 04, 08, and 10 only affect the tile on which they occur, as well as the random bits of the station, but not other tiles.

<h3id="a3roadstops">Action 3 - Road Stops</h3>
<p>See the <ahref="https://newgrf-specs.tt-wiki.net/wiki/Action3">Action 3 Specification</a> for background information.</p>
<p>Road stops have the same Action 3 cargo-type values as feature 4 (station).</p>
<p>In feature name <fontface="monospace">road_stops</font> version 7 and later, the Action 3 ID field is an extended byte; GRFs may define more than 255 road stop types.<br/>
In versions 1 to 6 (inclusive), only 255 road stop types may be defined per GRF, and the extended byte format may not be used.</p>
<p>In feature name <fontface="monospace">road_stops</font> versions 1 to 5 (inclusive), mapped Action 0 properties which are unknown and should be ignored, instead generate an error on use.</p>
