Action 0 - Properties for badges

Defining properties of badges.

Properties

Number Version Size Description
08 Supported by OpenTTD 1515 Not supported by TTDPatch S Badge label. A zero-terminated string.
09 Supported by OpenTTD 1515 Not supported by TTDPatch D Flags.


Badge label (08)

These are globally unique strings.

Badge labels comprise a badge class, for grouping similar badges, and badge name, separated by a '/'.

Classes and names are arbitrary, but to be useful must follow a standard scheme. For instance, the badge label power/steam will define a badge for steam powered vehicles within the power class.

Proposed initial classes are:

  • flag
  • role
  • manufacturer
  • operator
  • power
  • livery

It is also possible to assign a badge to everything within a NewGRF by defining the badge label `newgrf/<GRFID>`, with the GRFID in full hexadecimal form. This will work even if the badge is defined outside of the NewGRF it is for.

Flags (09)
