The Complete EDB Guide - discussion

That is strange. I know with certainty that road level affects trade income. I don't know why it's not working for you. Just to check, you do have 1.5, correct?

I am using the Alexander engine, I believe I have upgraded it to 1.5 prior to that... I doubt it is an issue if the roads screw up for me (I can easily use trade bonuses to replace), just wanted to check whether it was the default case with everyone.

I just found something new also. Dummy buildings aren't needed for building conditionals. I tried using the level I was building as a condition and it showed up in the building browser.

Like this:
Code:

Building Example
Building_x requires building_present_min_level Example Building_x

Obviously that is an unfulfillable condition, but used as an upgrade line will cause the building to appear in the browser despite not conditions.

Great! I like the idea of using this same building level as a dummy building.

One more thing, I don't know if I mentioned this before, but I have heard from another forumer, dvk, (I don't know whether he frequents these forums under that name or another) that for whatever reason, tabs are bugged in EDB. CA in their infinite wisdom decided to not put tabs into the acceptable coding for EDB and so using them can cause problem, whether non-working code, as SubRosa can attest to, to even crashes if there are enough tabs.

I have read something similar somewhere in the forum quite recently (~ 1 month), but I forgot to add to fav, so I dont know where the link is. The CTD is true, quite some time back, I did not know of such a problem so I tried replacing most of the spaces with tabs to allow a better view/'easier' coding for new buildings and the game CTD w/o error msg - I re-edited but continued using tabs though to replace equal amount of spaces.

After I had read up on the tab issue, I started to replace tabs with spaces and the loading time seems to be slightly better than before, didn't specifically time though because my cpu takes a really really long game loading time probably 7 mins or more ( well at least not as long as the 20 mins load time when I used my external backup hard disk)
