Introduction
Action 3 assigns graphics sets (referenced to by (chains of) action 2(s) to feature IDs.
Format
The format of the data is feature-dependent, canals use specific ids which define the graphics being provided.
The data is:
<Sprite-number> * <Length> 03 05 01 <id> 00 <set-ID>
| Element | Size | Description |
|---|---|---|
| <Sprite-number> | dec | A sequential sprite number |
| <length> | dec | The total number of bytes used in this action |
| 03 | B | Defines action 03 |
| 05 | B | Feature 05 "Canals" |
| 01 | B | Canals and rivers can only provide one "ID" at a time |
| <id> | B/B* | IDs of the current feature this action 3 associates graphics with. There must be as many IDs as <n-id> specifies |
| 00 | B | Canals support no cargo types |
| <set-ID> | W | Default set-ID to use if none of the above matches |
