Using Graphics Sets

Enable New Graphics

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

Try your luck on one of the following links:

Topic for new graphics

-=New graphics in executable-files=-

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

||Filename|Contains||trg1[r].grf|temperate terrain tiles, all vehicles and buildings||trgc[r].grf|sub-arctic terrain tiles||trgh[r].grf|sub-tropical terrain tiles||trgi[r].grf|start screens||trgt[r].grf|toyland map||

Note: DOS version has grf-filenames without the r, Windows version does have the r.

The reason for this backup is quite simple. The executable modifies one or more of these files by replacing original graphics with new graphics 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.
