Action3/Canals

Introduction

Action 3 assigns graphics sets (referenced to by (chains of) action 2(s) to feature IDs.

Format

The format of the data is feature-dependent, canals use specific ids which define the graphics being provided.

The data is:

 <Sprite-number> * <Length> 03 05 01 <id> 00 <set-ID>

Element	Size	Description
<Sprite-number>	dec	A sequential sprite number
<length>	dec	The total number of bytes used in this action
03	B	Defines action 03
05	B	Feature 05 "Canals"
01	B	Canals and rivers can only provide one "ID" at a time
<id>	B/B*	IDs of the current feature this action 3 associates graphics with. There must be as many IDs as <n-id> specifies
00	B	Canals support no cargo types
<set-ID>	W	Default set-ID to use if none of the above matches
