========================================
New Tram Tracks for TTDPatch and OpenTTD
========================================


1.INTRODUCTION
--------------
New Tram Tracks is a tramway replacement set featuring grass-embedded off-road tracks and single-sided wire supports for the overhead wires.

New Tram Tracks supports the Temperate, Sub-Arctic and Tropical climates, as well as the New Terrain and the Japanese Landscape Set.

Additionally, the player can choose between two types of wire supports: the set's default single-sided wire supports or an alternative with slightly slimmer poles.


2.REQUIREMENTS
--------------
Game version requirements for this new grapics set:
TTDPatch: (nightly) version 2.6 alpha 0 r1651 or higher.
OpenTTD: (nighty) version r10549 or higher.


3.COMPATIBILITY
---------------
This new grapics set is compatible with the following terrain graphics:
- Temperate, Sub-Arctic and Tropical default climates
- New Terrain grapics by Kolijn Wolfaardt [GRF-ID 75 87 01 02]
- The Japanese Landscape Set [GRF-ID 45 52 0B 00]
Active climate or active custom terrain graphics are determined automagically. No user action required.

Use of this set in combination with other non-default road sets is technically possible, but this might introduce graphical glitches.


4.INSTALLATION
--------------
> DOS or Windows version?

You can tell by looking at the filename of TTD's original graphics. trg1.grf indicates the DOS version, while trg1r.grf indicates the Windows version. Depending on that fact, you need either the DOS version or the Windows version of New Tram Tracks.
    DOS Version:   ntrmtrk4.grf
Windows Version:   NewTramTracksW_v0.4.1.grf


> TTDPatch installation

Copy the grf file to to your TTDPatch\newgrf directory. Create the directory if it doesn't exist already.
After that, open newgrf.cfg (in case of DOS version) or newgrfw.cfg (in case of Windows version) using Notepad or your favourite plain text editor. Add 'newgrf/ntrmtrk4.grf' or 'newgrf/NewTramTracksW_v0.4.1.grf' on a new line (without quotes) and save the changes you made. Start TTDPatch and you're ready to go.


> OpenTTD installation

Copy the grf file to to your OpenTTD\data\newgrf directory. Create the directory if it doesn't exist already (yes, you could drop it in OpenTTD\data, but I like to keep the default and custom graphic files apart). Start OpenTTD and click NewGRF Settings in the title screen. Click the Add button, select 'New Tram Tracks v0.4' and click Add to selection. Close the NewGRF Settings window. That's it.


5.ALTERNATIVE WIRE SUPPORT ACTIVATION
-------------------------------------
In order te activate the alternative wire supports (slimmer poles), a parameter needs te be set.

> TTDPatch
Open newgrf[w].cfg and add ' 1' (without quotes) to the New Tram Tracks configuration line. Example:
newgrf/NewTramTracksW_v0.4.1.grf 1

> OpenTTD
Open the NewGRF Settings window, select 'New Tram Tracks v0.4.1'. Click the Set Parameters button and enter the digit 1 in the dialog. Click OK, Apply Changes and close the NewGRF Settings window.
