[CLOSED] [REL] 1:1 scale Northern Scandinavia v0.99.5 for 1.28

Maybe one of the devs could confirm my answer, because I haven't tried it myself so far and maybe there's something else you have to do. I just opened the dutch map to see what has been done there.

To create a new city entry, you first have to create an entry in "def/city.sii" (or city.chris94nor.sii, to avoid conflicts). Then, enter the SII references to the cities like this:

Code: Select all

SiiNunit
{
# For modders: Please do not modify this file if you want to add a new entry. Create in
# this directory a new file "<base_name>.<idofyourmod>.sii" where <base_name> is name of
# base file without the extension (e.g. "city" for "/def/city.sii") and <idofyourmod> is
# some string which is unlikely to conflict with other mod.
#
# Warning: Even if the units are specified in more than one source file, they share the
# same namespace so suffixes or prefixes should be used to avoid conflicts.

@include "city/kolding.sii"
@include "city/esbjerg.sii"

}

Note that all names may NOT contain odd characters like ø or å, only the general alphabet.

After that you have to create a city definition SII. For instance, def/city/kolding.sii looks this:

Code: Select all

city_data: city.kolding
{
	city_name: "Kolding"
	short_city_name: "Kolding"
	city_name_uppercase: "KOLDING"
	country: denmark

Make sure you save this file in UTF-8 text format. Otherwise the game will crash when you use uncommon characters like å, ä, æ, ø or ö. Also, the city_data name may not contain odd characters.

After that, you have to assign the companies to the cities. To do this, add an SII in the subfolder of the company name with the same name as the city SII. For instane, Posped in Kolding is defined by def\company\posped\editor\kolding.sii. The contents of this file looks like this

Code: Select all

SiiNunit
{
#use an unique identifier here
company_def : _nameless.1C03.0037 {
 #reference to the city
 city: kolding
 #reference to the prefab within city limits where this company is assinged to 
 prefab: 33
}

}

I hope this is enough to get you going

I wonder what this unique identifier means.

[MandelSoft]

It's the eight-digit hexadecimal number after "_nameless". This has to be unique. Fortunately, because it's hexadecimal, you can choose between 4 BILLION unique numbers

What do i do with the def folder i have created? Do i create it as an scs format?
Is the unique identifier recommended to use?

[MandelSoft]

The DEF folder must be packed in an SCS package to be useful.
And yes, you must choose an unique number for this identifier. Otherwise the game can't tell the difference between to different company entries.

Ok, so where do i place the scs package? In the mod folder? Do i have to make the def folder complete before i can test it in my map?

[MandelSoft]

The SCS package should be located, as always, in the mod folder in order for the game to recognise it.

You can drive around the map without the DEF entries, but you won't be able to make deliveries or the game will be unable to assign jobs to the companies. This will give some errors, but nothing that immediately crashes the game...

But the game is crashing when i am opening the editor, after i added the scs package in the mod folder. I have to add in the editor so it is recognising the city.
