Harbors for seaside towns only?

[PaulWilliams]

Anyone know the instruction to limit buildings (such as harbors) to seaside towns only? And can the principle be extended further to other terrain types?

Paul,

I think you mean the tileimprovement port.
Take a look into the tileimp.txt there you will find the lines:

CantBuildOn TERRAIN_BROWN_HILL
CantBuildOn TERRAIN_BROWN_MOUNTAIN
CantBuildOn TERRAIN_DEAD
CantBuildOn TERRAIN_DESERT
CantBuildOn TERRAIN_FOREST
CantBuildOn TERRAIN_GLACIER
CantBuildOn TERRAIN_GRASSLAND
CantBuildOn TERRAIN_HILL
CantBuildOn TERRAIN_JUNGLE
CantBuildOn TERRAIN_MOUNTAIN
CantBuildOn TERRAIN_PLAINS
CantBuildOn TERRAIN_SWAMP
CantBuildOn TERRAIN_TUNDRA
CantBuildOn TERRAIN_WATER_DEEP
CantBuildOn TERRAIN_WATER_RIFT
CantBuildOn TERRAIN_WATER_TRENCH
CantBuildOn TERRAIN_WATER_VOLCANO
CantBuildOn TERRAIN_WHITE_HILL
CantBuildOn TERRAIN_WHITE_MOUNTAIN

for the TILEIMP_PORT. I think TERRAIN_WATER_BEACH is not in the list.

Or another way in SLIC (if he means an actual building in a city, like harbour-guns):

Using the mod_CanBuildBuilding (or whatever it's called) you could check each neighbor (tile) and see if the terrain is a water or beach terrain. If yes, then the return is true the city can build a harbour.

Get the Med mod and check out the Harbor improvement.

Err .. I'm probably being a bit thick, but where can I find the Med Mod? I can see the alpha version of the sequal, but not the original...

You mean to tell me that on our real Earth, that none of the Great Lakes cities of Canada and United States have harbors? wow

[PaulWilliams]

Duh! The answer was there all the time:

CoastalBuilding

As found in the entry for battlements...

Now, I wonder whether the CTP2 program recognises any other statements like that...

I took a look into the ctp2.exe and there are all the statements also unused ones.

What unused ones are there ? This could save a lot of SLIC work

I made a value/flag list I should send it to Omni, but it is not finished, I just copied the lines from the ctp2.exe. There is no documentation yet.
