Constructing industries during game play

[starcraftguy1]

I want to be able to build the printing works during game play.
Is there any line in the .xml that needs to edited?
This also applies to other industries as well.

For industries, bit_10 is what controls whether you can build it during gameplay. Change it to 1 and you should see it in the build window.

This has been a godsend for me. There are some knowledge gaps, but almost every variable you'll ever need to know is detailed on this list.

I only found "bit_8" and "bit_9" which were set to 1.
I changed the "9" to a 10 and nothing happened.....

Hello

Only for clarification. Do you ask for the function in Locomotion? I ask, because you are posting in the Locomotion section and Zakos seems to assume, your question is about OpenTTD, if I assume that he deliberately linked the TT-wiki.

Yes.
Is the TT-wiki not for Locomotion???

As far as I know, no it's not.

@Auge Zakos has already posted the correct list. There is a section for Locomotion in the tt-wiki. --> https://www.tt-wiki.net/wiki/Loco:Main_Page

Oh, I wasn't aware of that. The URL contains no reference to Locomotion. I had expected a division into one namespace per game and thus a reference in the URL. I apologise for having caused unnecessary unrest.

You should change it back to the way you found it. bit_8 and bit_9 do completely different things from bit_10, and changing one into the other will either do nothing or mess up the file. Bit is short for binary digit, and it's a variable that is always either 0 (no) or 1 (yes). In order to change one of them, you should only change the value of the 0 or 1 in between >these< brackets. For example:

Code: Select all

<bit name="bit_10">0</bit>

Change the 0 to a 1 and:

Code: Select all

<bit name="bit_10">1</bit>

I looked in PRINTWRK.dat though and you're right, there's no bit_10 at all. Does anyone else know if we should just add another line of code in the bit section? If so, you could probably add <bit name="bit_10">1</bit> on the line below bit_9 and get the desired result.

Another option is to just download OpenLoco, where if you enable sandbox mode you'll be able to create and destroy industries freely. Doing both still costs a lot of money.

I figured it out myself, so I added a new line and it worked. Sort of a trial and error process...

this should do it..... save yours just in case.... works on mine... locotool with YOUR pngs...

Yet another score for Transport Tycoon Forums, i keep learning more things Locomotion can do. I have used loco tool to make all industries able to be constructed during a game. As note to any one else that it may be a good idea to also extend the date of there obsolescence date as well. I often play games that last centuries, i often find i want more grain, cattle, oil, wood what ever. being able to add is really neat. yes i love to play locomotion
