'''''Troubleshooting and Error Messages'''''

=Graphics Errors=

Because of a limitation in the amounts of graphics TTD can load you might get error messages. Troubleshooting deals with problems concerning the installation of grf-files. There shouldn't be problems after succesfully installing new graphics from an executable.

-=Troubleshooting=-
* Always make sure you have TTDPatch switches enabled (see [[NewVehicleGraphics|New Vehicle Graphics]])
* Check if you downloaded the correct version. Remember that DOS graphics don't work with the Windows version and v.v.
* When using new grf-files, check if the configuration file is named correctly and if there are no spelling errors ''in'' the file.
* Check if the new grf-file appears in the proper directory

-=Error Messages=-

Each error message describes the file that caused the error, and the place within the file where the error occured (the so-called "sprite number"). These are all possible error messages you can get:
*Out of memory: TTDPatch ran out memory when trying to load more sprites. Make more memory available to it, or remove some entries from -+newgrf(w).cfg+-.
*Wrong .grf version: This grf-file is for a different version of TTDPatch. Download the correct version of either the graphics, or the patch.
*Cannot load more sprites: The total number of sprites that TTD can handle is limited at 11484 active sprites.  You must deactivate or remove some entries from  -+newgrf(w).cfg+- to get below that limit.
*File not found: The specified file does not exist.  Check to make sure that it is installed in the -+newgrf+- folder, and that you haven't made a typo when entering it in -+newgrf(w).cfg+-.
*More sprites than specified: This is an error caused by a corrupt .grf file.  It has to be fixed by the author of the graphics file. It means the first entry in the graphics file's info file is wrong.
*File has invalid sprite: This is an error caused by a corrupt .grf file, or by an invalid parameter in -+newgrf(w).cfg+-.  If you have one or more numbers after the filename in -+newgrf(w).cfg+-, remove all numbers and try again.  If the error still occurs, it's a problem in the graphics file, and needs to be fixed by the author.
