Building Unhappiness

[Apolodog]

Is there a way to make a building add unhappiness rather than happiness?

Can't you just put in a negative integer (rather than a positive one) into the same place that determines happiness effects?

tried, it appeared Happiness: -2

And no change at all.

No. There is a test in the C++ code within the DLL that only adds happiness from buildings to the city total if the value for the building is positive.

I think I will change it in the DLL for my mod, as I need unhappiness from some buildings (for example Tax Collector).

There was a mod called Bio refinery (iirc), with a lua file created by Spatzimaus.
This lua file worked fine for me until something happened with my mod, cant say what.

Ask to Whoward69, could you include a feature for negativ happiness in your great DLL mod. Or is this only doable in C++ coding? Sorry if i understand your post wrong.

@Gilgamesch - the problem is that cities ignore negative happiness from buildings

if (pBuildingInfo->GetHappiness() > 0) {
  ChangeBaseHappinessFromBuildings(pBuildingInfo->GetHappiness() * iChange);
}

if (pBuildingInfo->GetUnmoddedHappiness() > 0) {
  ChangeUnmoddedHappinessFromBuildings(pBuildingInfo->GetUnmoddedHappiness() * iChange);
}

Would be a simple matter to remove the test, I'll add it to the list for v17 of the DLL

Thank you.
