    Default Adding battlemap buildings to BI

    Ok, Verci convinced me to release that thing after I had it for a few days.
    Now, this is a compilation of three text files which contain the decompiled information from descr_items.db
    Here's a quick walkthrough to adding a new building into descr_items.db using this:

    1. Extract the file you need (BI or 1.5) to your data directory
    2. Backup descr_items.txt
    3. Rename the file you extracted to descr_items.txt
    4. Add to the beginning any Includes you want made, I recommend using this to add new buildings (you can see a readme on that in the original descr_items.txt)
    5. Add your new building entries
    6. Delete descr_items.db
    7. Start the game
    8. You get tons of error message (normally if you use show_err), either click through them or just hit ctrl+alt+del and kill the game process, but descr_items.db is generated anyways
    9. Restart the game and enjoy ;)

    If you want to use that in a mod folder, you have to extract the RTW item files you want to use there in order for the game to find them.
    If you don't want to use a building that is in that file, just delete the entry.

    Get the file here: descr_items.zip
