NFO Editor is a freeware program for editing the NFO files that serve as a base for GRF graphic files for the game Transport Tycoon Deluxe, TTDPatch and OpenTTD.

After decoding a GRF graphics file with GRF Wizard and the GRFCodec, you’ll have an NFO (plain text) file, and one or more PCX or PNG image files. By editing the NFO file, you can alter the size and position from indivial game sprites (graphics). This is an almost impossible process to do by hand, while NFO Editor makes this a quick and effortless task.

Features

• Easily alter individual sprites position, size and in-game position with preview
• Multiple backgrounds with landscapes and solid colors available
• Optional grid window with all NFO sprites and their values
• Ability to start GRF Wizard directly from the File menu

Remarks

The program will only load NFO sprites decoded with the original GRF Codec (0.9.10) created by Josef Drexler (+GRF Wizard), and refuses to load sprites created with the GRF Codec developed by the OpenTTD team.
