Here's a new version of the core CIV4BuildingInfos.xml file with the following (significant) changes:
- It was split into 5 files:
Regular_CIV4BuildingInfos.xml
NationalWonders_CIV4BuildingInfos.xml
GreatWonders_CIV4BuildingInfos.xml
Cultures_CIV4BuildingInfos.xml
SpecialBuildings_CIV4BuildingInfos.xml
First four should be obvious, the 5th one includes all the buildings with an iCost of -1, meaning it has all the crime, diseases, dances, achievements, etc. buildings that are build by units or autobuilt some way or another.
- In each file, buildings are sorted alphabetically (by their real name, not the name in Type), except SpecialBuildings which is first sorted by "categories" (so that crime buildings are together, etc.). The real name now shows in comment before each entry to avoid confusion and make searching easier.
- Tags were reordered "logically": you'll find every prerequisite tags together, then every obsolescence tags, then every construction costs tags, etc. The beginning of each category of tags is mentioned with a comment.
- All tags with default values were removed (no more 2000+ buildings with a <bCapital>0</bCapital>...). Each entry only has the relevant tags, making them easier to read and audit. The new files together are about 70% smaller compared to the current CIV4BuildingInfos.xml (or 12Mo smaller), this will perhaps help with the initial loading time?
- The iYield are always repeated 3 times (for
,
and
) and iCommerce tags 4 times (for
,
,
and
). Even though it works with the 0 entries at the end removed, I find it easier to read and less prone to errors that way.
Now I don't know whether you want to use it since it'd be extremely long to properly compare to the current version... It'll still be useful for modmods (mine or anybody else's) anyway.
