HOW TO CREATE BUILDINGS?

[Iago.Hach]

Hi,
I can't mod buildings!


I try to use a different kota type, even created a .png image for each part, but I can only replace the existing vanilla kota image, can't use the original AND the mod one :/

Any idea to how mod building works? It seems that it's inverted, like:
.This name is the original object. and
"This name is the name in the menu"

This code works, but created a vanilla kota cover, the image doesn't work :/

.North-west corner of a kota. "North-west corner of hut" [effort:2]  *BUILDING*  /30/   %10%
{Thatch cover} [remove] [ground]
{Slender trunk} [remove] [ground]
[TILEGFX:ter-hutnwc]

Tried this and it does the same as the first one

.North-west corner of a kota. "North-west corner of hut" [effort:2]  *BUILDING* [GFX_X:5] [GFX_Y:0] /20/   %10%
{Thatch cover} [remove] [ground]
{Slender trunk} [remove] [ground]
[TILEGFX:ter-hutnwc]

Tried this code and it doesn't work in diy_txt and biy_txt the menu option doesn't appear

.Eastern wall of hut. "Eastern wall of a kota" [effort:2]  *BUILDING* /30/   %10%
{Thatch cover} [remove] [ground]
{Slender trunk} [remove] [ground]
[TILEGFX:ter-hute]


Is there a way to mod buildings using new images and items?

Not supported at this time, unfortunately.

As you said only replacement of vanilla graphics.
"World Tiles" are defined internally in the game. This prevents them from being pushed/pulled/moved, as well as path blocking or other properties.

 It is possible to place "world tiles" with some additions to biy file, ie: placing a water tile.

Well, now I think I will just add a thatch hut as an alternative kota cover...
Don't know if it would be vanilla friendly to ancient finns though.

I was excited after I saw Primitive Technology series ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEUGOyjewD4& )

Anyway thanks for the reply

I'd like to be able to make bricks from stones and use bricks for building.
