Definitions of cargo types used in TTD and the patch
For setting the various action 0 properties of vehicles, various way of specifying the cargo type are used. Typically, there is one
property that sets the default cargo type, and another property that sets the cargo types available for refitting in a bit mask.
The following table lists the values to use for these properties, as well as the values to use for action 3.
| Column | Name | Usage |
|---|---|---|
| Type A | Cargo bit | Use this cargo type in action 3. When using a cargo translation table, this is the
position in the translation table. If there is no cargo translation table, the cargo bit is defined by property 08 for new cargos. |
| Bit value | Add these bit values to find the value to give the refit mask property (this is -+1 << cargobit+-) | |
| Type B | Cargo slot | Use this cargo type to set the default cargo type of vehicles (note, this is climate dependent!). For new cargos this is the ID used in Action
0 and Action 3 of the cargo-defining NewGRF. |
Note, when New Cargos are being used, you can only rely on Type A values when using a cargo translation table. Type B values depend on the actual
NewGRF (and its version) defining the new cargos; so, unless you test for a specific (industry) NewGRF you cannot rely on any value for Type B.
That means, to be compatible to any new cargos, you have to set the default cargo of refittable vehicles to "first refittable".
However, you can kind of rely on passengers being slot 0 and mail being slot 2.
