BaseNormal: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 00:25, 2 April 2008

Flag:	BaseNormal
File(s):	Rules(md).ini
Values:	boolean (yes/no or true/false)
Default:	yes
Applicable to:	BuildingTypes

After constructing a building in-game you are only allowed to place it near your existing Template:TTL. There are two flags that control this. One flag goes on the building you are placing and that flag is Template:TTL=. The other flag goes on all other Template:TTL and that is BaseNormal=. If BaseNormal=yes is set (default) on a Template:TTL then you will be able to place the new building near to it. The Template:TTL with BaseNormal=yes set is said to 'extend the acceptable base building adjaceny'.

If BaseNormal=no is set on a Template:TTL then you will not be able to place the new building near to it (unless other Template:TTL exist nearby which themselves have BaseNormal=yes set).

Because BaseNormal= defaults to yes, it was only natural that the developers would forget to add BaseNormal=no to some Template:TTL. Most obvious are two of the Template:TTL buildings; Yuri's Psychic Tower (YAPSYT) and the Allied Gap Generator (GAGAP). Both of these mistakes are corrected in the Template:TTL.

-Is used on BuildingTypes and can be set to 'yes' or 'no'. This serves two purposes - first, it defines whether or not this structure is considered for building adjacency checks (in other words can you build further structures off of it), and second it specifies whether or not this structure is announced to its owner when attacked.

+After constructing a building in-game you are only allowed to place it near your existing {{TTL|Structures}}. There are two flags that control this.

+If <tt>BaseNormal=yes</tt> is set (default) on a {{TTL|BuildingType}} then you will be able to place the new building near to it. The {{TTL|BuildingType}} with <tt>BaseNormal=yes</tt> set is said to 'extend the acceptable base building adjaceny'.
