How to install and work with new graphics

TTDPatch enables the player to load new graphics of various kinds. Most of these require certain TTDPatch switches to be enabled, please read [[NewVehicleGraphics|New Vehicle Graphics]] for more details.

==Downloading new graphics==

Several websites are available for locating and downloading TTDPatch compatible graphics sets.
* [http://www.ttdpatch.net/newgrf.html|New Graphics Page at ttdpatch.net] - official patch graphics
* [http://grfcrawler.tt-forums.net/|GRF Crawler] - a database of graphics sets
* [http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?t=3125&start;=0|Download Topic for new graphics] -- TT Forums topic with lots of graphics sets

Make sure that when you download graphics, you download the right version: DOS graphics for DOS TTD and Windows graphics for Windows TTD.  If the graphics look very strange, you have probably downloaded the wrong version.

==Installation==

To add a new graphics set to TTDPatch, follow these three steps:
# Download and unpack (with Winzip/Winrar/etc) the set into your "newgrf" folder. If you do not have a "newgrf" folder, simply create a new folder in the TTD folder and name it "newgrf".
# Add the set to your graphics configuration: open -+newgrfw.cfg+- (Windows) or -+newgrf.cfg+- (DOS) in for example Notepad, and add a line like the following:

+<pre>-+newgrf/''newset.grf''+-</pre> where ''newset.grf'' is the name of the file you've added in step 1
# Enable the set in the [[GRFStatusWindow|Graphics Status Window]]

(Note, if the graphics set is not a .grf file but either .grd or .exe, read below under "Old style graphics".)

Both TTDXC or Graphics Manager can help with step 2 and make it easier for you. You can find them on the [http://www.ttdpatch.net/tools.html|TTDPatch Tools] page.

Normally most sets will try to activate when you start a new random game. If you don't want to use a certain sets by default and rather only enable them when you want, add an exclamation mark after the filename, like this:

<pre>-+newgrf/dullset.grf !+-</pre>

Some graphics sets also support certain "parameters" you can change. You do this by adding the parameters as numbers after the filename (and after the exclamation mark if you have one) in newgrf(w).cfg, separated by a space:

<pre>-+newgrf/niceset.grf 15 3+-</pre>

This sets the first parameter to 15 and the second parameter to 3. What the parameters do depend on each set, so be sure to read the documentation that they provide.

In particular, the base graphics set for TTDPatch 2.5 or higher has the following parameters:

||Parameter|Meaning

<center>1</center>|Foundation type in temperate climate*

<center>2</center>|Foundation type in arctic climate*

<center>3</center>|Foundation type in tropical climate*

<center>4</center>|Foundation type in toyland*

<center>5</center>|Canals type, 0=default style, 1=old style||

<nowiki><nowiki>*</nowiki></nowiki> The value of each foundation type may be 0, 1, 2 or 3 for temperate, arctic, tropical or toyland foundations, respectively.

All parameters are optional, and if you omit them, the default graphics will be used.

==Old style graphics==

Before TTDPatch had sophisticated newgrf capabilities, graphics sets were distributed as .grd or .exe files. These do not go into newgrf(w).cfg, and instead they modify your TTD graphics directly.

Often, the most convenient way to use them is to convert the .exe or .grd file into a TTDPatch .grf file, for which you can use the above methods of adding, enabling and disabling the set. For this, download [http://www.bytetransfer.de/projects/ttdpatch/grdtogrf/|GRDtoGRF], and use that to convert the .exe or .grd file to a .grf

Otherwise, since these graphics sets modify your TTD graphics,  the first thing you should do is to backup the following files:

||'''Filename'''|'''Contains'''

-+trg1r.grf+-|temperate terrain tiles, all vehicles and buildings

-+trgcr.grf+-|sub-arctic terrain tiles

-+trghr.grf+-|sub-tropical terrain tiles

-+trgir.grf+-|start screens

-+trgtr.grf+-|toyland map||

'''Note:''' The DOS version has grf-filenames without an r.''

While some sets come with an "undo" file to restore the original graphics, it is still safer to make a backup first in case anything goes wrong.

Always make sure you download the correct version. Windows executables won't work with TTD for DOS and the opposite won't work too!

Once you have the set, here's how to install a .exe graphics set:
# Download the set and if necessary unpack it in your TTD directory
# Locate the ''executable'' and double-click it
# Run TTDPatch and enjoy the new graphics

To install a .grd graphics set, you need the "grfmerge" tool from the [http://www.ttdpatch.net/grfcodec/|GRFCodec suite], read its documentation for more details.

If you didn't enjoy the new graphics follow one of these steps:
* Copy the original grf-file(s) over the modified one(s)
* Locate the UNDO-executable and double-click it

Enabling New Graphics (1/2)

TTDPatch enables the player to load new vehicle graphics. Please read [[NewVehicleGraphics|New Vehicle Graphics]] on how to '''enable''' the necessairy TTDPatch switches. The new graphics come in two types:  an executable or a grf-file.

-=New graphics in executable-files=-

First thing you have to do is make sure to backup the following files:

||'''Filename'''|'''Contains'''

-+trg1r.grf+-|temperate terrain tiles, all vehicles and buildings

-+trgcr.grf+-|sub-arctic terrain tiles

-+trghr.grf+-|sub-tropical terrain tiles

-+trgir.grf+-|start screens

-+trgtr.grf+-|toyland map||

'''''Note:''' DOS version has grf-filenames without an r.''

The reason for this backup is quite simple. The executable modifies one or more of these files by replacing original sprites with new sprites that are inside the executable. You can only undo the modification with an UNDO-executable. Unfortunately not all graphics artists supplied UNDO-executables. If you regret having your original grf-files modified this means restoring the original graphics.

Let's assume you want to download Mr. Hunt's small airport modification. Always make sure you download the correct version. Windows executables won't work with TTD for DOS and the opposite won't work too! Here are the installation:

1. Download the ZIP-file and unpack it in your TTD directory

2. Locate the '''executable''' and double-click it

3. Run TTDPatch and enjoy the new graphics

If you didn't enjoy the new graphics follow these steps:

1. Copy the original grf-file(s) over the modified one(s)

   '''OR''' locate the '''UNDO-executable''' and double-click it

2. Run TTDPatch and enjoy the original graphics

-=Alternative method=-

1. Download GRDtoGRF from [http://inter-ee.net/allvb/ttdpatch/|eis_os's website]

2. Use that to convert the .exe file to a .grf

Enabling New Graphics (2/2)

-=New graphics in grf-files=-

Michael Blunck was the first to release a new grf-file that could be used within TTD. The grf-files are very easy to install since you only load them into the game. None of the original grf-files are modified, they are just neglected for the sprites that are in the new grf-file(s).

For instance, making the DBset for the Windows version of TTD work requires the following steps:

1. Create a sub-directory called '''Newgrf''' in your TTD directory

2. Download the ZIP-file and unpack in your Newgrf directory

3. Create a new file called '''-+newgrfw.cfg+-''' in your TTD directory

4. Type the following line in '''-+newgrfw.cfg+-''': -+newgrf/DBsetw.grf+-

5. Run TTDpatch and enjoy Michael's DBset

If you don't like the DBset, simply open -+newgrfw.cfg+- and remowe -+newgrf/DBsetw.grf+-.

'''''Note:''' for the DOS version of TTD you should create '''-+newgrf.cfg+-''', so without the w!''

Also if you would like to make easier turning on/off *.grf files, or easy installing/removing them without opening newgrf(w).cfg file you can use [http://www.ttdpatch.de.vu/|Graphic Manager]

-=Managing new grf-files=-

You can temporarily disable a grf-file by putting a hash mark, "#" in front of it in the configuration file. An exclamation mark, "!" after the filename means that the grf will be loaded, but not activated by default. Use the newgrf status window to activate them. Also, some graphics files allow you to modify some of their options by putting numbers behind the graphics file.

For example, the DBset normally replaces all railway crossings with versions that have gates instead of lights. If you don't want that, you can use the line: -+newgrf/dbsetw.grf 2+-

For more information, refer to the readme file that should have come with the specific graphics file.

 Normally most sets will try to activate when you start a new random game. If you don't want to use a certain sets by default and rather only enable them when you want, add an exclamation mark after the filename, like this:
-<pre>-+newgrf/dullset.grf !+-</pre>
+ newgrf/dullset.grf !</pre>
-Some graphics sets also support certain &quot;parameters&quot; you can change. You do this by adding the parameters as numbers after the filename (and after the exclamation mark if you have one) in newgrf(w).cfg, separated by a space:
+Some graphics sets also support certain "parameters" you can change. You do this by adding the parameters as numbers after the filename (and after the exclamation mark if you have one) in newgrf(w).cfg, separated by a space:
-<pre>-+newgrf/niceset.grf 15 3+-</pre>

 This sets the first parameter to 15 and the second parameter to 3. What the parameters do depend on each set, so be sure to read the documentation that they provide.

 Before TTDPatch had sophisticated newgrf capabilities, graphics sets were distributed as .grd or .exe files. These do not go into newgrf(w).cfg, and instead they modify your TTD graphics directly.

 -=Managing new grf-files=-

+You can temporarily disable a grf-file by putting a hash mark, &quot;#&quot; in front of it in the configuration file. An exclamation mark, &quot;!&quot; after the filename means that the grf will be loaded, but not activated by default. Use the newgrf status window to activate them. Also, some graphics files allow you to modify some of their options by putting numbers behind the graphics file.
 For example, the DBset normally replaces all railway crossings with versions that have gates instead of lights. If you don't want that, you can use the line: -+newgrf/dbsetw.grf 2+-
