Properties common to all vehicle types

property value range available for
articulated
vehicle
comment
name (string) yes for example string(STR_NAME_HEREFORD_TRAM)
climates_available bitmask(CLIMATE_XXX, CLIMATE_YYY, ...) set to NO_CLIMATE XXX = [TEMPERATE | ARCTIC | TROPICAL | TOYLAND], alternatively NO_CLIMATE or ALL_CLIMATES. To make a vehicle available in all climates except toyland you could use: ALL_CLIMATES & ~bitmask(CLIMATE_TOYLAND).
introduction_date date(yyyy,mm,dd) no Valid range for yyyy is 0 ... 5000000. In TTDPatch, dates after 2044 will be limited to 2044. Unless the engine is introduced within two years after game-start (always 1920 in TTDPatch), a random number of days between 0 and 511 will be added to this.
model_life 0 ... 254 (years) or VEHICLE_NEVER_EXPIRES no

Number of years a model is "supported" by the manufacturer, see below.

retire_early -128 ... 127 (years) no

Retire the vehicle (make it unavailable in the purchase menu) this many years before reliability starts dropping, see below. May be negative.

vehicle_life 0 ... 255 (years) no Life length of an individual vehicle, before it is considered too old and in need of replacement.
reliability_decay 0 ... 255 no Default vehicles use 20. The higher the value the faster reliability decays, the more frequent service is needed. 0 means reliability never decreases if the vehicle is not too old
refittable_cargo_classes

bit set of cargo classes

yes for example: bitmask(CC_BULK, CC_COVERED)
non_refittable_cargo_classes

bit set of cargo classes

yes for example: bitmask(CC_OVERSIZED, CC_SPECIAL)
refittable_cargo_types bit mask of entries into the cargo translation table yes example: bitmask(PASS, MAIL, GOOD)
cargo_allow_refit Array of cargo labels from the cargotable Yes Supported by OpenTTD 1.2 (r23291)1.2 Not supported by TTDPatch Example: [COAL, IORE]
cargo_disallow_refit Array of cargo labels from the cargotable Yes Supported by OpenTTD 1.2 (r23291)1.2 Not supported by TTDPatch Example: [MAIL]
loading_speed 0 ... 255 (cargo units) yes Units of cargo loaded per tick. Default vehicles use 5 for trains and road vehicles, 10 for ships and 20 for aircraft
cost_factor 0 ... 255 =0 multiplier to the base purchase cost
running_cost_factor 0 ... 255 =0 multiplier to the base running costs
cargo_age_period 0 ... 65535 yes

Supported by OpenTTD 1.2 (r22713)1.2 This property specifies after how many ticks cargo is aged. Default value is 185. 74 ticks is equal to 1 day.

Refittability

To determine whether your vehicle can be refitted to a certain cargo, OpenTTD uses the following table

Cargo matches refittable_cargo_classes Cargo matches non_refittable_cargo_classes Cargo in refittable_cargo_types Result
No Doesn't matter No Not refittable
No Doesn't matter Yes Refittable
Yes No No Refittable
Yes No Yes Not refittable
Yes Yes No Not refittable
Yes Yes Yes Refittable

The results from the above table are always overriden by cargo_allow_refit and cargo_disallow_refit. Whatever the table says, if the cargo is in cargo_allow_refit the vehicle will always be refitable to that cargo.

You should use refittable_cargo_classes and non_refittable_cargo_classes to decide to which cargos your vehicle is refittable, and only use refittable_cargo_types as a last resort to include/exclude some cargo type.

Note that the default cargo cannot be selected explicitly. Instead it is automatically set to use the first refittable cargo, whenever one of the refitting properties is set.

Engine life cycle

The life cycle of a vehicle model consists of three phases, as outlined in the following table.

phase duration reliability
1 7 to 38 months increases from 48-73% to 75-100%
2 model_life - 8 years stays constant at peak, 75-100%
3 10 to 20.5 years decreases from peak to 25-50%

If model_life is set to VEHICLE_NEVER_EXPIRES, the engine remains in phase 2 forever.

Normally, the vehicle is removed from the purchase menu at the and of phase 3. However if you set the retire_early property, it will be retired this many years before (or after, if the value is negative) the end of phase 2.

Sorting vehicles in the purchase list

This is a special property that is not encoded in an item/property-block like most other properties but it has it's own block instead. The syntax is as follows:

sort(<feature>, [<ID>, <ID>, <ID>...]);

The engines will be sorted in the given order on the position where originally the first element was. Say the original engine sorting is this: A B C D E and you use this code sort(FEAT_TRAINS, [D, B, A]); the final sorting will be this: C D B A E

Train properties

articulated
vehicle
comment
sprite_id SPRITE_ID_NEW_TRAIN yes Set this property to enable new graphics
speed 0 ... 65000 (float, speed units) no Max speed for engines, speed limit for wagons
misc_flags bitmask(TRAIN_FLAG_XXX, ...) FLIP should not be set, TILT and MU the same value XXX=[TILT | 2CC | MU | FLIP | AUTOREFIT] which allows the train to enjoy the tilt bonus, use the 2nd company colour, act as a multiple unit (used for livery selection only) or allow the vehicle to be flipped (reversed) in the depot

callback_flags bitmask(VEH_CBF_XXX, ...) yes

Do not set this, unless you use old-style callbacks.

track_type item from railtypetable must be the same as front Default railtype table: RAIL, MONO, MGLV. If you install a railtypetable yourself you'll always get the railtype you specified. If you want a vehicle to run on electric rail and you don't have a railtypetable, set track_type to RAIL and make sure that you set engine_class to ENGINE_CLASS_ELECTRIC.
ai_special_flag [AI_FLAG_PASSENGER | AI_FLAG_CARGO] no Set to AI_FLAG_PASSENGER to tell computer players that it's an engine that should only be used for passenger service.

tractive_effort_coefficient 0 ... 1 (float) =0 Fraction of the vehicle weight that is available as tractive effort. Tractive effort (in kN) is calculated as (TE coefficient) * 10 * weight (in tons), with 10 being an approximation of the acceleration of gravity (9.81 m/s). Default value is 0.3.
air_drag_coefficient 0 ... 1 (float) =0 Coefficient of the relative air drag, in arbitrary units. The default value is approximately (8 / max_speed), with max_speed in km/h, clamped to the range 0.004 .. 0.75.
shorten_vehicle SHORTEN_TO_XXX yes XXX=[8_8 | 7_8 | ... | 1_8]
visual_effect_and_powered visual_effect_and_powered(VISUAL_EFFECT_XXX, offset, ENABLE_WAGON_POWER or DISABLE_WAGON_POWER) yes XXX=[DEFAULT | STEAM | DIESEL | ELECTRIC | DISABLE], it is the type of the visual effect you want for this vehicle. Default means "take from engine_class property". Offset is the position of the effect. 0 is default, negative values mean more to the front and positive values are backwards. Minimum offset is -8, maximum is 7.
extra_weight_per_wagon 0 ... 255 ton (float, mass units) =0 Adds extra weight for powered wagons, see extra_power_per_wagon

passenger_capacity 0 ... 65536 Capacity for the passenger compartment. See also the notes at mail_capacity below.
mail_capacity 0 ... 255 Capacity for the mail compartment, if refitted to a cargo in the CC_PASSENGERS class. When refitted to other cargoes, this capacity is added to the passenger capacity to determine the base capacity. The actual capacity is set to this base capacity divided by 1 for mail, 2 for goods and 4 for all other cargoes. To override this effect, use the passenger_capacity and mail_capacity callbacks.
sound_effect SOUND_XXX

See available sound effects.

Vehicle variables

Below an overview of all vehicle-specific variables. Not that in the purchase list, the vehicle is not built yet and as such many variables are not available. All general variables are available, refer to the table for info on vehicle-specific variables. Trying to access a non-available variable invokes undefined behaviour. Please note that while all variables are available for all vehicles types, some of them only make sense for one or more vehicle types. For example checking current_railtype for a non-rail vehicle doesn't make sense at all.

Variables without parameter

name value range available in

comment
position_in_consist 0 ... 255 No The position of the current vehicle-part from the start of the vehicle. The engine will get value 0, the first wagon (or second engine) gets value 1, etc.
position_in_consist_from_end 0 ... 255 No Same as position_in_consist but counted from the end. The last wagon will get value 0.
num_vehs_in_consist 1 ... 256 No The total number of vehicles-parts in this vehicle. For aircraft this will include the shadow and the rotor.
position_in_vehid_chain 0 ... 255 No See position_in_consist, but not of the complete vehicle but only all consecutive parts with the same id.
position_in_vehid_chain_from_end 0 ... 255 No See position_in_consist_from_end, but not of the complete vehicle but only all consecutive parts with the same id.
num_vehs_in_vehid_chain 1 ... 256 No See num_vehs_in_consist, but not of the complete vehicle but only all consecutive parts with the same id.
cargo_classes_in_consist Bitmask of CC_XXX No

cargo classes

most_common_refit

cargo class

No cargo class most often refit to
bitmask_consist_info Bitmask 8 bit No

Binary OR of the values of bitmask_vehicle_info of all vehicles (engines, wagons) in the consist. Only available for rail vehicles.

company_num 0 ... 14 Yes company number of the vehicle owner. TTDPatch only supports up to 8 companies (0 ... 7)
company_type PLAYERTYPE_XX Yes PLAYERTYPE_HUMAN, PLAYERTYPE_AI, PLAYERTYPE_HUMAN_IN_AI (human managing AI company) or PLAYERTYPE_AI_IN_HUMAN (AI managing human company). OpenTTD only uses PLAYERTYPE_HUMAN and PLAYERTYPE_AI. If you cheat yourself to be part of an AI company OpenTTD will still report PLAYERTYPE_AI for the company with yourself and the AI and it'll report PLAYERTYPE_HUMAN for the now uncontrolled company.
company_colour1 COLOUR_XXX Yes

Refer to the table here for possible values.

company_colour2 COLOUR_XXX Yes

Same as company_colour1, if no 2nd company colour is chosen. Refer to the table here for possible values.

aircraft_height 0 ... 255 No Height difference between the aircraft and its shadow. 8 Units are equivalent to one height level on the map.
airport_type AIRPORTTYPE_XX No AIRPORTTYPE_SMALL, AIRPORTTYPE_LARGE, AIRPORTTYPE_HELIPORT or AIRPORTTYPE_OILRIG
curv_info_prev_cur -2 ... 2 No Difference in direction between the previous (towards engine) vehicle and this vehicle. Curvature to the right is positive. 1 unit is 45 degrees.
curv_info_cur_next -2 ... 2 No Difference in direction between this vehicle and the next (towards rear end) vehicle. Curvature to the right is positive. 1 unit is 45 degrees.
curv_info_prev_next -4 ... 4 No Difference in direction between the previous (towards engine) and next (towards rear end) vehicle. Curvature to the right is positive. 1 unit is 45 degrees. Equal to curve_invo_prev_cur + curv_info_cur_next.
curv_info vehicle_curv_info(prev_cur, cur_next)' No

Returns a magic number that represents the curvature state of the prev-cur-next vehicle triplet. Do not try to make sense of this magic number, use the builtin function vehicle_curv_info() instead to make comparisons. curv_info == vehicle_curv_info(a, b) is equivalent to (curv_info_prev_cur == a) && (curv_info_cur_next == b), however the former can easily be used in a switch-block.

motion_counter 0 ... 15 Yes, always 0 Is increased every time the vehicle moves a single step on the map. Useful for animations.

count_veh_id The vehicle ID to look for. 0..255 No The number of vehicles in the current consist that have the given ID.


Vehicle callbacks

The following table contains a list of available vehicle callbacks. Additionally, it's possible to provide cargo-specific graphics, using the identifier from the cargo table as callback name. These callbacks will be used if the vehicle is refitted to the corresponding cargo type. If no cargo-specific graphics match the cargo that the vehicle is carrying, the default callback is used instead. Cargo-specific graphics callbacks are never called from the purchase menu, refer to the purchase callback below instead.

Note that the above affects graphics only, other callbacks are unaffected.

Name Available for In purchase menu? value range comment
default All Yes, unless purchase is set separately Sprite group 'Normal' vehicle graphics, if no cargo-specific graphics apply.
purchase All Yes, only Sprite group Graphics to show in the buy menu (only the horizontal view is needed)
rotor Aircraft (helicopters) No Sprite group Graphics for the helicopter rotor (4 sprites; 1 stopped and 3 moving)
random_trigger All No N/A See random switch for more information.
cargo_subtype_text All No String, or CB_RESULT_NO_TEXT With this callback, you can display extra text after the cargo in the vehicle information window. This callback is called during refitting, with succesively increased values of the cargo_subtype variable, until the callback returns CB_RESULT_NO_TEXT. All returned strings are then displayed as refit options. The chosen refit option is saved in the cargo_subtype variable, so it can be used later for other things. In the HEQS grf for example, this mechanism is used to let the user choose between different capacities of the same vehicle.
additional_text All Yes, only String Additional text to show in the purchase list.
colour_mapping All Yes, unless purchase_colour_mapping is set separately Recolour sprite number

With this callback, you can use a different recolour sprite instead of the standard 1cc / 2cc company colour remappings. See here for a list of default palettes. See the builtin function reserve_sprites() for info on how to allocate your own sprite. For performance, the result is cached and only updated if the every_32_days callback requires so. Add CB_RESULT_COLOUR_MAPPING_ADD_CC to the result to add the company colour to the sprites, this requires 16 (1cc) or 256 (2cc) sprites in total.

start_stop All No String or CB_RESULT_NO_TEXT Called when starting or stopping a vehicle. Mainly useful to prevent vehicles from leaving the depot unless a certain condition is met. Return CB_RESULT_NO_TEXT to allow or a string (containing an error message) to disallow starting/stopping.
every_32_days All No bitmask(CB_RESULT_32_DAYS_XXX, ...) Called every 32 days. Set CB_RESULT_32_DAYS_TRIGGER in the bitmask to trigger TRIGGER_VEHICLE_32_CALLBACK. Set CB_RESULT_32_DAYS_COLOUR_MAPPING in the bitmask to update the colour mapping by re-running the colour_mapping callback.
sound_effect All No SOUND_XXX, sound("sound.wav"), import_sound(grfid, number) or CB_RESULT_NO_SOUND

Called to play various vehicle sounds. extra_callback_info1 contains the sound event, see the table below. Return SOUND_XXX (see here) to return a default sound. sound("soundfile") imports a sound from a .wav file. import_sound(grfid, number) imports a sound from another grf. A failed (or not implemented) callback will cause the default sound to be played. Return CB_RESULT_NO_SOUND to play no sound at all.

articulated_part Trains, Road Vehicles Yes (no separate callback) Vehicle ID, or CB_RESULT_NO_MORE_ARTICULATED_PARTS With this callback, you can add articulated parts (e.g. tenders) to your vehicle. Called repeatedly, until CB_RESULT_NO_MORE_ARTICULATED_PARTS is returned. After each call, the returned vehicleID is added to your vehicle. extra_callback_info1 contains 1 during the first call, 2 during the second, etc. Note that callback may be called from the purchase list, using vehicle variables is not possible. Or CB_RESULT_REVERSED_VEHICLE to the returned vehicle ID to display the vehicle backwards.

For NML 0.2 and lower the vehicle ID of the articulated part must be in the range 0 .. 127.

can_attach_wagon Trains No String or CB_RESULT_ATTACH_XXX Called when a wagon is being attached, to allow or disallow attaching. This callback has to be defined at the engine. However, variables in the SELF scope refer to the wagon being attached, the PARENT scope refers to the engine that the wagon is being attached to. Return a string to disallow with the string as error message. Return CB_RESULT_ATTACH_DISALLOW to disallow with standard message ("incompatible railtypes"), CB_RESULT_ATTACH_ALLOW to allow or CB_RESULT_ATTACH_ALLOW_IF_RAILTYPES to allow if the railtypes match (default).

The following callbacks all have an equivalent property. The property description applies here also, except where otherwise noted.
