Dutch Road Furniture - UK Signs Add-on 1.0.0
MD5Hash:  55ae61673cbcde4a7231dea85973278c  dutchroadfurnitureuksignsaddon.grf
Version:  107
GRF ID:   FB FB 05 02



---------------------
2 General information
---------------------

1.1 Requirements
----------------
At least OpenTTD 1.2.0 or nightly r22723 is required to use this set.
TTDPatch is not supported at this time.


1.2 Installation
----------------
By far the easiest way to install is to aquire this NewGRF via the 
ingame Content Download feature. How to do this is explained at
http://wiki.openttd.org/Online_content.

If you somehow cannot use the Content Download feature, you need to copy
the (unzipped) grf-file to the OpenTTD data directory. The OpenTTD 
readme explains where you can find this directory.

The final step is to activate the NewGRF.
This is done via the NewGRF Settings window, which is explained here:
http://wiki.openttd.org/NewGRF.
Now you can use the NewGRF in your new games.


1.3 Parameter settings
----------------------
This NewGRF comes with one parameter setting. These can be easily 
configured ingame, but if you for some reason want to edit the 
configuration file manually the following details will be of use:

1st parameter: Road set support
0: Automatic detection (default)
1: OpenGFX Roads
2: UK Roadset / UK Roads with Signs


1.4 Usage
---------
The signs in this set are so-called objects. This means that they have
no other purpose than just sit there and look nice. They don't help 
road vehicles find their destinations and they don't generate money. In 
fact, they only cost money when you purchase them. You get some of that
back though when you remove them again.

Objects can be built from the Landscaping toolbar. Click the (rightmost)
Place Object button from that toolbar to access the Object Selection
window. The objects from this NewGRF are listed in the "Dutch Road
Furniture" category. Select an object of your choice, then select the 
orientation you want to build and finally click on the tile on the map
you want the object built on.

If you have any problems with this NewGRF, you can post in the topic
at TT-Forums: http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=56316
or add a ticket to the issue tracker at the DevZone:

3 Object information
------------------------

Consult the Dutch Road Furniture readme for details. The objects in 
this add-on are technically the same. Only the graphics are different.



-----------------
4 Technical notes
-----------------

This NewGRF uses a relatively new OpenTTD feature that allows register 
modifiers inside Action2 sprite layouts. This feature was completed in 
OpenTTD r22723.

The objects in this NewGRF are defined in their own object class NLRF 
(short for NL (Dutch) Road Furniture). It was chosen to not add the 
objects to the default INFR class in order to keep the Dutch things 
separate and to avoid very long object lists in case multiple INFR class 
object NewGRFs are loaded. At the time of creation, the NLRF class was 
not registered and not known to be used by other NewGRFs. Other NewGRFs 
are of course free to add things to the NLRF class, but if you see non-
Dutch stuff in it, complain to the other NewGRF's author and not here.
