Ok, I didn't check if I spelled right... But is it something like that?

Just use copy (mark a line and press Ctrl and c on the same time), then go to the target document and press Ctrl + v.

Yeah, I know, but I was just too tired at that moment to open all the documents again, and try to fix around with them... but thx anyway

It says there's a syntax error on this line:

if(TileHasImprovement(location[0], OLD_TILEIMP[i])) {

That is why i hate slic. one small typo and frustation comes to you.
It is a missing '{' in the line before. I edited the code from its post it should work now.
Sorry.

[Adagio]

Ok, thx, it works now (Well...it starts without complaining, haven't tested if the code works

Can't wait til the day, were I might be able to see what the errors mean (Just started learning java last week, so there's still a long way )...

I just loaded a savegame to test if it works, but I don't get the bonus...

EDIT: Woops, I ment to edit instead of reply...

Is it because in this line, you sets the number of the player. Shouldn't it be something like the i in PW_BONUS[i]? Otherwise the player who gets the bonus is always the same player... or am I mistaking here?

setPW(player[0], FinalPW);

When you load a saved game. the slic codes are the same as the ones you saved. So my slic code is not part of.
To tell the PC that you have a new code in your game data you must press ' and the chatbox will open.
Then type

/reloadslic

And press enter. The game will search for new codes and changes in the code in your game data.
New games dont need this procedure.

Ah, ok, thx for the help, it now works fine, now I only need to finish the code, so it works for the other TI's too

You just loaded a save game? In that case this is to less. You have also to reloadslic to do it just open the chat window by typing the apostrophe key (') and enter /reloadslic. Alternatively you can also open the cheat editor and press the reloadslic button. BTW the cheat editor is a great tool to test such code, but don't expect if you place a tile improvement with the cheat that you get the bonus you have to do it regulary. But you can first place a tile improvement and then close the cheat editor and place then the upgrate improvement.

Hey you are already commenting codes. Big step in slic learning.
Let me aswer you:
Check this part:

InitialPw = player[0].publicworkslevel;	
FinalPW = InitialPw + PW_BONUS[i];		
SetPW(player[0], FinalPW);

The SetPW(int_t, int_t) function works not adding the value of the second argument (int_t) to the player PW amount but replacing.
So in this piece of code:
line1: i get the player PW (InitialPW)
line2: make a new value(FinalPW) adding to the InitialPW value the PW_BONUS[i]
line3: Change the PW reserve of the player[0] to be equal to FinalPW

Remember: the TI entry names can be foun in the tileimp.txt

PS: I learnt slic in less than two days reading the info in this thread and locutus slic manual:

http://apolyton.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=33181

Of course. Make codes that actually worked took me a little while

EDIT: I never had experience in any coding language. Slic was the first.
