So how EA would know what even dimensions of this building are, it's pop/culture impact etc?one thing I don't quite get is: why don't they show up as ??? instead of a blank.
After all, from the way elvenarchitect is working, you see there is a building there, you just don't know what it is, so it could just as well appear as some unknown object instead of some blank space ?
of course this would require a bit of new code instead of just adding objects to the db.
You use elvenstats, get a copy of your city to open on EA and you see 4 empty tiles where these pieces belong.So how EA would know what even dimensions of this building are, it's pop/culture impact etc?
The copy of your city only has id of buildings, corner coordinates and evolution levels. Everything else, including dimensions, have to be in a database.You use elvenstats, get a copy of your city to open on EA and you see 4 empty tiles where these pieces belong.
Thx a lot for your steady work, Konniver. I appreacite elvenstats a lot. And I am willing to donate to you some times. So,how can I do that?Apologies, I've been away up til now. The files have been refreshed.
There are two types of data EA needs in order to show your city:
* Game data - Contains building stats. Has to be periodically refreshed and pruned in order to remove spoilers. Changes rarely and is very heavy.
* City data - Contains building location in player city. This comes from Elven stats, which in turn comes from the game. Changes often and very light.
Happy new year, all!

so it wouldn't, but you would get a nice ? at the square with the starting coordinates, and you would know instantly something is missing which would be a MUCH bigger clue than just the whole building entirely missing.So how EA would know what even dimensions of this building are, it's pop/culture impact etc?
Nothing to apologize for, you give us such a great product. I just report when I see something missing so you know you check message.Apologies, I've been away up til now. The files have been refreshed.
