Detailed Explanations
The parameter name
This parameter determines the name of the object. It should not coincide with a name of the files object.*.pak in the used pakset folder. With buildings from Type res, com and ind the name should also begin with res, com or ind.
The parameter type
There are the following values of the parameter type:
|
City Buildings
|
|
Player Buildings ( up to Version 0.99.17.1 / Makeobj 48 )
|
|
Extension building for player's building ( up to Version 0.99.17.1 / Makeobj 48 )
|
The parameter type for player building from version 0.100.0
Additionally, the parameter type can take the following values:
Value |
Meaning |
|---|---|
| stop | Stop/Station |
| harbour | Harbour (or for backwards compatibility, "habour") |
| depot | Depot |
| extension | Station extension building |
The parameter level
{DIV(align=justify, width= )}
The parameter level indicates how much passenger's traffic and postal traffic origins from the building. With the renewal of the buildings through the city, a building with a higher level value is built.
The information in the info window of the building calculates itself as follows:
|
Building of the Type ind
|
|
Building of the Type com
|
|
All the other buildings
|
Buildings that occupy more than one tile the resulting value is multiplied by the number of tiles.

The parameter build_time
If the value 0 is, the place of interest on the land is built. If the value is bigger than 0, he gives the number of inhabitants with which the place of interest is built in the city.
With monuments and city halls the parameter always gives the number of inhabitants with which the monument or city hall is built.
The parameters Passengers or level with places of interest (cur), monuments (mon) and city halls (tow)
The parameter level is to be pulled to the parameter Passengers before.
The parameter determines the passenger's rate and postal rate field of the building.
Level=1 corresponds to a rate of 0.
The parameter needs_ground
needs_ground = 0 -> tile completely covered (default - can be omitted)
needs_ground = 1 -> tile not completely covered
The parameter waytype
Value |
Meaning |
Menu |
|---|---|---|
| road | Road | Road construction menu (Straßenbaumenü) |
| track | Railroad | Railroad construction menu (Eisenbahnmenü) |
| tram_track | Tram track | Tram construction menu (Straßenbahnmenü) |
| monorail_track | Monorail | Monorail construction menu |
| maglev_track | Maglev rail | Maglev construction menu |
| narrowgauge_track | ||
| water | Ship/canal | Ship/canal construction menu |
| air | Airport | Airport construction menu |
Without statement of waytype, the building appears in that special tools menu.
The parameter clusters
This parameter specifies the number of the cluster to which a building belongs.
When constructing next to a building that belongs to a cluster, there is an increased probability that a building from the same cluster will be built; the probability of houses without or with other cluster memberships is reduced.
The number is represented internally as five bits. Numbers from 1 to 32 are therefore possible.
The building can also be assigned to several clusters, separated by a comma.
clusters=4,6 or clusters=1,2,3
The parameter cluster_factor in cityrules.tab specifies the factor by which the chance of construction within an existing cluster is increased or decreased.
