The individual options can be selected via parameter. Options and their default values are - remove grid lines (yes) - transmitter replaced by rocks (no) Name of this Repo: OpenGFX+ Landscape 0.2.1 Repository version: 57 GRF_ID: "OGX" 04 MD5 sum: 5030f25ca77de5080db906235cd70005 ogfx-landscape.grf -------------- 2 Quickstart -------------- Copy the grf in your data dir and activate it. Or easier download it by using the online content. ----------------------- 3 This NewGRF in detail ----------------------- This NewGRF is still in its infancy and most things are not yet really finished - but it may already be of use to one or another: - A no-grid version for all climates. Mind that this does not yet work for road and rail tiles (unless you use a railtypes NewGRF like SwedishRails). - Alpine landscape: temperate grass in arctic climate. Selection in desert climate is allowed and it will give you snow instead of desert, but it will also glitch with things like cacti on snow, wrong ground tiles for many industries, roads, houses and alike. - Variable, configurable snowline (arctic and alpine landscape) - NewObjects (found in the landscaping dialogue): * Wind powerplant from 1985 onwards. - Optionally replace the default communication towers by a simple rock; this may suit well early scenarios where telecommunication towers might look a bit out of place. ---------------------- 4 Building from source ---------------------- Requirements for running this Makefile successfully: NML gcc md5sum (or md5 on Mac) make mercurial (recommended) python (recommended) If you want to bundle the grf, you'll need additionally tar zip bzip2 unix2dos (optional) Windows only: On Windows systems this means that you'll need to install MinGW and MSys in order to obtain a posix compatible environment. Then the makefile can be called the very same way as it is on linux and mac systems. MinGW/MSys contain the above mentioned programmes (except renum and grfcodec of course) and can be obtained from http://www.mingw.org/ That site also features an excellent walk-through o how to install it. If you use for OpenTTD data folder a non-default path or Windows with a non-English localization make sure to copy Makefile.local.sample to Makefile.local and edit the line with INSTALLDIR = accordingly so that it shows the full path to your OpenTTD / TTDP data directory. If the Makefile is too slow, you may try different dependency checks or skip those completely. Available options for dependency generation are: mdep: uses a python script. Default when used in a hg repository normal: uses gcc and bash to scan for dependencies none: disable the dependency generation (mostly) Makefile.local allows to choose the method via the declaration of DEP_CHECK_TYPE. The Makefile offers different targets. A brief overview is given here: all: This is the default target, if also no parameter is given to make. It will simply build the grf file, if it needs building depend: Re-run the dependency check. Usually not manually needed. docs: Build the documentation files bundle: This target will create a directory called "-nightly" and copy the grf file there and the documentation files, readme.txt, changelog.txt and license.txt bundle_zip This will zip the bundle directory into one zip for distribution bundle_tar This will tar the bundle directory into a tar archive for distribution or upload to bananas bundle_src Creates a source bundle install: This will create a tar archive (like bundle_tar) and copy it into the INSTALLDIR as specified in Makefile.local (or the default dir, if that isn't defined). Don't rely on a good detection of the default installation directory. It's especially bound to fail on windows machines. distclean: This phony target cleans everything from a source bundle which wasn't shipped. clean: This phony target will delete all files which this Makefile will create mrproper: This phony target will delete also all directories created by different Makefile targets remake: It's a shortcut for first cleaning the dir and then making the grf anew. addcheck: Check whether there are some files required but not part of the repository. check: Check the md5sum of the built newgrf against the supplied md5sum (Intended to be used when building from tar balls) --------- 5 License --------- This NewGRF was written by Ingo von Borstel (aka planetmaker) and is free to use for anyone under the terms of the GNU Pulic License v2 or higher.
