is_leapyear No 0 or 1
date_loaded Yes days since year 0 Set to the time of game load, which is the current date in single player, and the date the server started in multiplayer. This to prevent desyncs.

difficulty_level Yes [2] DIFFICULTY_XXX with XXX = [EASY | MEDIUM | HARD | CUSTOM]
display_options No bitmask of DISPLAY_XXX with XXX = [TOWN_NAMES | STATION_NAMES | SIGNS | ANIMATION | FULL_DETAIL] Use hasbit(display_options, DISPLAY_XXX) to test a particular bit.

train_width_32_px Yes [3] 0 or 1 If 1, train vehicles are 32 instead of 29 pixels wide in the depot view.
traininfo_y_offset Yes [3] -128 .. 127 Used to correctly position the depot view of trains.
snowline_height No NML 0.2 16 .. 120 in steps of 8, or 0xFF if no snow.

NML 0.2 One tile height is equivalent to 8 units.

NML 0.3 It's the height in tiles.

traffic_side Yes [2] TRAFFIC_SIDE_LEFT or TRAFFIC_SIDE_RIGHT
freight_trains Yes 1 .. 255 Weight multiplier for freight trains
plane_speed Yes 1 .. 4 Speed multiplier for planes. Value of 1 is equal to the original speed (1/4), while 4 means that planes move at full speed (4/4)
ttdpatch_flags Yes
current_callback No Set to the ID of the current callback, useful for old-style callbacks.
extra_callback_info1 No Varies Extra callback information, meaning differs per callback.
extra_callback_info2 No Varies Extra callback information, meaning differs per callback.
last_computed_result No Result of the last (previously evaluated) switch block.
base_sprite_2cc Yes 0 .. 65535 Base sprite for 2cc (dual company colour) colour-maps
base_sprite_foundations Yes 0 .. 65535 Supported by OpenTTD 1.4 (r25230)1.4 Not supported by TTDPatch Base sprite for foundations. This sprite block does only contain the extra foundations from replacenew type FOUNDATIONS_SLOPES_HALFTILES or FOUNDATIONS_SLOPES. It does not contain the default foundations of sprites 990 to 1003 (via replace)
base_sprite_shores Yes 0 .. 65535 Supported by OpenTTD 1.4 (r25230)1.4 Not supported by TTDPatch Base sprite for shores. All coast sprites in the order of the 16 sprites version of replacenew type COAST_TILES. Note that, it does not matter in which way the sprites were originally defined (whether via replacenew with 10 or 16 sprites, or via replace). The sprite block returned by this variable has always all sprites in the same order.

  1. ↑ It should be version_openttd(1, MAJOR, MINOR) if you are using NML with version ≤ 0.7.3
  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 The value of these variables can change during the game. Reading them from a switch block (which reads the current value) may result in a different value than in the rest of the code (which is evaluated when the game is loaded).
  3. ↑ 3.0 3.1 3.2 3.3 These variables can be written as well as read. Use a normal assignment, for example: 
     traininfo_y_offset = -2;
