CargoTypes

Cargo labels in OpenTTD

GRFv≥8 In GRF version 8 the value to be used in all vehicle and industry properties, and in action 3, is the position of the cargo label in the cargo translation table included in the GRF.

GRFv≤7 GRF version 7 and below used different cargo properties for different properties (called "Type A" or "translated" and "Type B" or "untranslated" cargo slots), for historical reasons. This method is deprecated as it meant relying blindly on cargos always using the same slots. You can see the table of Type A and Type B slots here if you really want to.
