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 solely 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.

15.0 Since 15.0, a default cargo translation table corresponding to the climate (see CargoDefaultProps) is used if one is not provided.
GRFv≥8 In GRF version 8, the default translation table is 32 entries long and maps "Type B" slots to each cargo label.
GRFv≤7 In GRF version 7, the default translation table is 12 entries long and uses "Type A" slots to each cargo label.
The default translation table works just like a GRF provided table: If a cargo label is redefined in a different slot this is correctly translated, and if the cargo label is replaced the cargo type is mapped to invalid.
