Any NewGRF file used in a game is stored inside the savegame and will refuse
|
|
|
|
|
to load if you don't have that NewGRF file available. A list of missing files
|
|
|
|
|
will be output to the console at the moment, so use the '-d' flag (on windows)
|
|
|
|
|
to see this list. You just have to find the files (http://grfcrawler.tt-forums.net/)
|
|
|
|
|
put them in the data/ folder and you're set to go.
|
|
|
|
|
can be viewed in the NewGRF window accessible from the file load dialogue window.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can try to obtain the missing files from that NewGRF dialogue or - if they
|
|
|
|
|
are not available online - you can search manually through our forum's graphics
|
|
|
|
|
development section (http://www.tt-forums.net/viewforum.php?f=66) or GrfCrawler
|
|
|
|
|
(http://grfcrawler.tt-forums.net/). Put the NewGRF files in OpenTTD's data folder
|
|
|
|
|
(see section 4.2 "OpenTTD directories") and rescan the list of available NewGRFs.
|
|
|
|
|
Once you have all missing files, you are set to go.
