Introduction
Since TTDPatch 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> 00 <param> FE <GRFID>
| Element | Size | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0D | B | Defines action 0D |
| <target> | B | Target parameter |
| <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 GRFID 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).
