Thank you, piratescooby. I think, I misunderstand how to use. I think, I can use it while playing a game, not only in the szenario editor.

There seems to be a bug.
In the image below we see a cottage as Zone 5 and an office tower as Zone 1.

The cottage properly builds in the outer most zone and the office tower properly builds in the inner most zone.
The bug is with the zone numbers.
NewGrf Specs - TownZones wrote:Town zones are concentric rings around the centre of each town. A town can have up to five town zones where zone 0 is the outer most zone and the zone with the highest number the inner most.
VariationalAction2/Houses wrote:Town zone where the building is situated. The value is between 0 and 4, where 0 is the outermost zone of the town. Smaller towns have fewer zones. Roads are plain in zone 0 and 1, paved in zone 2, have trees in zone 3 and streetlights in zone 4
Where you describe Town Zones as 1 2 3 4 5, shouldn't that be 4 3 2 1 0?

I noticed this while working in JGR Patch Pack v27.1

towns have two zone configurations
  1. small towns: (inner) 2 1 0 (outer)
  2. large towns: (inner) 4 3 1 0 (outer)
note that the large towns have no zone 2.

A little test might help us to help you figure this out.
1. Remove one of the sets that works.
2. Does one of the crossed out sets become available?

No need to install if you are playing JGR Patch Pack where it is accessible in the scenario editor.

Hi! Is there any way to "break" the rules and put any house on any place?
95% of the times i receive the message "Cant build houses there...the building is not allowed"
Im using it on JGRP.

This can be a bit of a problem.
The House selection tool shows available zones as 1,2,3,4 and 5 where 5 is the outermost zone.
The NewGRF specifications for Game Mechanics - Town Zones says something quite different:
A town can have up to five town zones where zone 0 is the outer most zone ...
This also appears in varAction2/Houses Property 42:
The value is between 0 and 4, where 0 is the outermost zone of the town ...
and in Action0/houses property 13 Building availability mask (13):

Code: Select all

Bit 	  Value 	        Meaning
0..4 	  1,2,4,8,10 	which town zone(s) the building can be built in
Perhaps the House selection tool should be fixed before attempting to "break" the rules and put any house on any place.
