Defining objects of type misc

Defining objects of type misc

Apart from the major categories of objects that exist in the Simutrans world, there are also a few that come in too few varieties to warrant an object category. These are gathered in the object type misc. This page explains how to specify them.

The parameters and values are separated by '='.
