<p>All of the non-standard features listed below will automatically emit suitable feature tests, conditionals, etc. such that NewGRFs which use these features will work correctly
on OpenTTD versions which do not support these features, including standard trunk OpenTTD and older/other patchpack versions.</p>
<h3><a href="https://newgrf-specs.tt-wiki.net/wiki/NML:Builtin_functions">Builtin functions</a></h3>
<p>
<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.
