Maybe there's only a CMD_AUTO too much in the original patch. I have this patch in ChrisIN and it also works with ChrisIN applied to r11340 and newer.

I just made an update. I really like this patch and i hope, i am not alone

Sorry to revive this old thread, but as I see that this is still not working in trunk an update would be really nice

it really annoys me to buy every tile with an extra click and I use this a lot in large games to limit city growth to a certain area.

updated to R15821

Is there any one who can fence off the land we are buying ?

Supplying two patches; one with DOS CRLF, and one with UNIX LF.

Great Idea!

But could you implement to buy only the border of the land instead of buying the complete rectangle? For example if you are pressing ctrl, when you build it?

I think, this is not possible. As an analogy: If you build a diagonal train track you buy the whole tile, not only one side of the tile. If you buy an area of some tiles, tile per tile, you buy every tile with its whole area. In every single case it's the same behaviour.

Tschö, Auge

I think he meant this

: border.png (2.58 KiB) Viewed 4742 times

instead of this

: full.png (2.54 KiB) Viewed 4742 times

I can see the problem with buying half or part of the tile as you are saying (not sure why anyone would want that), but i don't think it applies here.

Oh, I see, yes you are right.

Jep I meant this

Not the border of a tile (did you mean this Auge?) the border of the rectangle. For example if you only want to lock a area for a bigger airport. If you are playing fair (in MP) or without AI (in SP/MP) this is saving much money.

Just wondering, but, whats the difference between buying whole 11x10 lot (not sure if this is the size) or just its borders?

xZise · Post by **xZise** » 05 Jun 2009 20:44

You don't have to pay for the 9x8 tiles in the borders?

I really should read everything twice, especialy with my bad english

... From your sentence, I understood the meaning a bit different way

Sry for OT

Hello all,

I conjured up some "buy only borders on ctrl" functionality on this patch.

Enjoy.

micomico · Post by **micomico** » 06 Jun 2009 16:48

Hello and sorry for the double post (soon to be triple). I want to keep the previous post, just in case.

I decided there was still something missing in this patch. Although the "buy only border on ctrl" was an excellent idea, what i found missing was "ignore measly tiles that can't be bought in the area".

So i've implemented it. I've tried to change the patch to follow "The coding style" also.

Now it allows fun things like:

: Selection with CTRL; selection1.png (35.47 KiB) Viewed 4560 times

(continues on the next post)

micomico · Post by **micomico** » 06 Jun 2009 16:52

(continued)

which gives:

: Only the border was bought; border.png (35.73 KiB) Viewed 4568 times

and also:

: Selection without CTRL; selection2.png (18.1 KiB) Viewed 4567 times

with the nice result:

: Only the free tiles were bought; full.png (17.3 KiB) Viewed 4568 times

The operation only shows an error when no tile could be bought.
