Action 0 - Properties for badges

Defining properties of badges.

Properties

Number	Version	Size	Description
08	15	S	Badge label. A zero-terminated string.
09	15	D	Flags.

Badge label (08)

These are globally unique strings.

Badge labels comprise a badge class, for grouping similar badges, and badge name, separated by a '/'.

Classes and names are arbitrary, but to be useful must follow a standard scheme. For instance, the badge label power/steam will define a badge for steam powered vehicles within the power class.

Proposed initial classes are:

• flag
• role
• manufacturer
• operator
• power
• livery

It is also possible to assign a badge to everything within a NewGRF by defining the badge label `newgrf/<GRFID>`, with the GRFID in full hexadecimal form. This will work even if the badge is defined outside of the NewGRF it is for.

Naming Proposal

To work consistently, a naming standard needs to be agreed on, e.g.:

/role/passenger
/role/freight

/livery/<country>/<operator>/<name>
/livery/uk/british_rail/blue
/livery/uk/british_rail/swallow
/livery/fr/sncf/tgv

The game could then present these as a filterable list, e.g.:

Role
  Passenger
  Freight

Livery
  UK
    British Rail - Blue
    British Rail - Swallow
  France
    SNCF - TGV

0	1	Copy. Badge can be copied to related entity (e.g. badge on a railtype can be copied to rail vehicles of that railtype.)
1	2	NameListStop. Stops adding more names to the visible name list.
2	4	NameListFirstOnly. Add this name to the visible name list only if this is the first name.
3	8	UseCompanyColour. Apply appropriate company colour palette to the icon. If the icon is applied to a vehicle with 2CC support, then the 2CC palette will be used.
4	16	NameListSkip. Allow the badge to be excluded from the badge name list.
