How can I make cottages possible on oasis terrain?

[Lord_Vetinari]

Quick question here. I want to have the possibility to put cottages on oasis terrain. What do I have to change to make this possible?

 

[Chamaedrys]

go to xml\terrain\improvementinfos.xml. In the entry for the cottoge (and hamlet, village,...) change <FeatureMakesValids/> to <FeatureMakesValids>
<FeatureMakesValid>
<FeatureType>FEATURE_OASIS</FeatureType>
<bMakesValid>1</bMakesValid>
</FeatureMakesValid>
</FeatureMakesValids>

 

[Lord_Vetinari]

Thank you!

You beat me to it Chamaedrys, but since I don't have the game in front of me I'm glad you wrote it up so well.

 

[Lord_Vetinari]

Dangit, it's not working. Anyone have any idea why?

If you just copy/pasted it, you might have to space them properly. Also you probably have to start a new game in order to test it.

I did both of those things, but it still wouldn't work. No idea what to try next.

Although I havn't had eny problems with it, you might try clearing the cahe, although I don't know how much good it will do.

Sorry! I forgot something:

<bNoImprovement>1</bNoImprovement>

should be change to <bNoImprovement>0</bNoImprovement> in the xml\terrain\featureinfos.xml

Thanks again, it's working now!

Only problem is that I can also farm flood plains now, but I can live with that.

You couldn't farm floodplains before? I have always been able to farm floodplains.

I echo.

btw: A cottage on an oasis is a good idea. I have add it to my private mod.

 

[Lord_Vetinari]

Sorry, I meant farm oasis, not floodplains.

I think this is the reason for that:

<bFreshWaterMakesValid>1</bFreshWaterMakesValid> in the farm entry in the improvementinfos. Farms are maybe the most used improvement of the game. I would not change it.
