First thing you have to do is make sure to backup the following files:

||Filename|Contains||trg1r.grf|temperate terrain tiles, all vehicles and buildings||trgcr.grf|sub-arctic terrain tiles||trghr.grf|sub-tropical terrain tiles||trgir.grf|start screens||trgtr.grf|toyland map||

Note: DOS version has grf-filenames without an r.

The reason for this backup is quite simple. The executable modifies one or more of these files by replacing original graphics with new graphics that are inside the executable. You can only undo the modification with an UNDO-executable. Unfortunately not all graphics artists supplied UNDO-executables. If you regret having your original grf-files modified this means restoring the original graphics.

Let's assume you want to download Mr. Hunt's small airport modification. Always make sure you download the correct version. Windows executables won't work with TTD for DOS and the opposite won't work too! Here are the installation:

1. Download the ZIP-file and unpack it in your TTD directory

2. Locate the executable and double-click it

3. Run TTDPatch and enjoy the new graphics

If you didn't enjoy the new graphics follow these steps:

1. Copy the original grf-file(s) over the modified one(s)

   OR locate the UNDO-executable and double-click it

2. Run TTDPatch and enjoy the original graphics
