Reading another GRF file's parameters
Reading another GRF file's parameters
-=Introduction=-
Since 2.0.1 alpha 16, it has been possible to use action D to read the parameters of other GRF files. With this, you can try to use the settings for another related GRF before falling back to a hard coded default.
-=Format=-
-+<Sprite-number> * <Length> 0D <target> <operation> <param> FE <grfid>+-
||Element|Size|Description
0D|B|Defines action 0D
<target>|B|Target parameter
<operation>|B|As for action D, but only assignment is valid.
<param>|B|Parameter number of the other GRF file that you want to read
FE|B|Defines a special variable access
<grfid>|D|The GRFID whose parameter you want to read||
This will store parameter <param> of the GRF file with grfid <grfid> into the <target>
With parameter FE you can read the action 14 NewGRF version of another NewGRF in OpenTTD. It returns 0 if no NewGRF version has been set by an action 14.
If the GRF ID cannot be found, or if the parameter is not defined, a value of 0 is used instead (no matter whether bit 7 of the operation is set or not).
