BuildingInfos

[Tholish]

I've starting experimenting with the XML and it looks like its easy to do all kinds of cool things. There are tutorials on stuff I can figure out myself, like how to add techs and religions and civics.

But I find BuildingInfos to be missing a lot of stuff. You can change many things with it, but many of the properties of buildings are not addressed. How do change a building's cultural output for example? The BuildingInfo for the Obelisk, which should have little else going on, doesn't give a clue. Looking at full blown mods doesn't help.

Is there somewhere else to look?

MODiki - Another Great Reference Site

http://modiki.apolyton.net/index.php?title=Reference_xml


I find using both reference sites help with info about XML (among other things )

When I get really bored I'm planning on copying all the modiki stuff over to Civ4Wiki (assuming that they say it's ok) - they were meant to merge ages ago but it never happened.

I'd have to be really bored though.

Here is part of the palace's parameters:

<YieldChanges>
				<iYield>0</iYield>
				<iYield>0</iYield>
				<iYield>8</iYield>
			</YieldChanges>
			<CommerceChanges/>
			<ObsoleteSafeCommerceChanges>
				<iCommerce>0</iCommerce>
				<iCommerce>0</iCommerce>
				<iCommerce>2</iCommerce>
			</ObsoleteSafeCommerceChanges>

The first part <YieldChanges> has the 3 <iYield> values. These represent how much food, labor, or gold that building produces. In this case the palace produces 8 gold.

For the second part: <ObsoleteSafeCommerceChanges> has 3 <iCommerce> Values. Those represent research, gold, and culture. So, in this case, the palace produces 2 culture.

Have fun.
