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.

What’s New

- Program no longer crashes when opening sprites from an NFO with no PCX on the specified path, an error is shown instead.
- More integration with the grid window, current sprite will be autoselected on grid
- PCX to BMP conversion will never be performed twice for same file when switching PCX conversion mode after loading NFO
- Added ability to load a custom background from external BMP, GIF or JPG
- Fixed integration with the GRF Wizard to save and encode GRF (by removing last slash from sprites path)
