<h4>extended_feature_test(feature_name[, min_version[, max_version]])</h4>
This returns true if the given extended feature is present and has a version within the specified minimum and maximum (inclusive).<br />
This function should only be used after the grf{} block.<br />
In most cases it is not necessary to use this function, as extended properties (listed below) which are not supported are simply skipped/ignored.

<h3>Signal graphics using switches</h3>
<p>
This feature allows signal sprites to be specified using switches in a very similar manner to <a href="https://newgrf-specs.tt-wiki.net/wiki/NML:Railtypes#signals">railtype signals</a> in
<span class="code">item (FEAT_RAILTYPES) { graphics { signals: ... } }</span> blocks.<br />
However this applies to all signals, not only those of a particular rail type.<br />
Railtype signal graphics have a higher priority than general signal graphics as set here.<br />
<br />
Variables: <span class="code">extra_callback_info1</span>, <span class="code">extra_callback_info2</span>, and <span class="code">terrain_type</span>
are the same as for <a href="https://newgrf-specs.tt-wiki.net/wiki/NML:Railtypes#signals">railtype signals</a>.<br />
<br />
This feature is not supported by standard OpenTTD or by standard NML.<br/>
If the use of this feature is not optional, the feature name: <span class="code">action3_signals_custom_signal_sprites</span> should be checked using the
<span class="code">extended_feature_test</span> function
and if necessary a suitable fallback used or error message shown.<br />
<br />
An <span class="code">item (FEAT_SIGNALS, custom_signals, 0) { }</span> block should be used to define properties and graphics.<br />
The graphics block should contain a single default switch.

Enable restricted signal flag.<br />
When enabled, bit 24 of variable <span class="code">extra_callback_info2</span> is set if the signal is restricted (has a routing restriction program attached).<br />
When enabled, the "Show restricted electric signals using default graphics" client setting and signal post recolouring is not applied.<br />
This flag must only be set if a different sprite is returned when bit 24 of <span class="code">extra_callback_info2</span> is set.
