Thanks Michael... I only just managed to learn the basic style of GRF coding, and now I come back 6 months later it's even more complicated! :) One thing I was wondering is is it now possible (using callbacks or otherwise) to differentiate between graphics that appear in windows in the game and those actually on the track? One thing that I've always found annoying is that the trains never actually appear to run on the tracks, but instead sort of ride next to them. I've just designed a new carriage, with offsets to put it on the tracks, and also full length so that in the horizontal view the corridor connections of adjacent carriages join up. The problem is, in all the windows, the coaches appear about three pixels too high, and in the depot window, they're about 2 pixels too long. Is they're any way around this, or is it a case of that if you want the on-track graphics to work, you have to put up with the rest?
