RE: invalid sprites in TTDP 2.5 beta 1 and other anomalies

Hey Josef,

I have these trams files loaded:
newgrf/trams_127.grf
newgrf/tramw_549.grf

But they show up as red in the GRF status window.  Am I suppose to use a
different tram file?  Screen shots are at:
www.smd.cc/ttdlx (the old ones have been removed).


As for the invalid sprites, I did read your announcement at
http://lists.ttdpatch.net/ttdpatch-announce/200602/msg00002.html
But somehow I missed the invalid sprite paragraph.  It is now fixed
since I turned off Experiemntal Features.

I was trying to retrofit the Floss '47', the SH '30' and the SH '40'.
None of these have the cargo window when I build them.

Bill

Are the tram sets enabled in the game? Check the GRF Status window.

Not everything is refittable.  What exactly are you trying?

I think that's intentional; the ctrl-selling only applies to wagons.

You've probably enabled cooperative play, see
