The most annoying and time waste thing in searching starpos records is the difficulty to find what you are looking for, as many lists are not any helpful order. I added a table with the regions_array and their place in the list, in STEP 2.

Startpos is o.k. I added the fix for saved game for them who they don't want to do all the procedure from the beginning.

What and how have you done?

[major_payne]

i'm moding my city right now. i'm in step 5 and i don't understand how i should chang the CAI files. it seems to that i can't find the trinidad files anywhere.
can i just clone the first one 4 times and change it that way?

No you can't clone cai files. Trinidad's cai_world_building_slot is 1657 as you can see in the tutorial. If you are using other cities to borrow building slots id's tell me which are they, to find you the cai_world_building_slot's if you can't.

i tried it the new way and it's not working. i tried it the olg way and it works fine. when you do it the new way there is no crash bug?

is it possible to take one Major city, remove it from the game, and give its CAI records to the city you want to convert?

No because there are a lot of records connected with this city. And If you think that major cities are capitols, makes things worst.

could you make a Major city into a minor one, and use the extra building slots from that and put them into your custom city? (basically reversing the size of the two cities ? )

That is what I am trying now. I've done before with virginia and philadelphia. Maybe we have interesting things tomorrow.

[Pikemen]

Yeah, if you where to make a start pos. With Virginia as a major city, And had no exiting bug, I would like to see it. Good work sofar

In my scenario 2 X 4 slot major give 6 free slots I but I can use only the 4 of them. I can delete building slots in startpos and regions.esf and make a minor city but I can't delete CAI slot because it crushes. The only thing I managed to do was when I gave the two remaining CAI to the same building ID (1 building with 1+2 CAI). The game worked but then the exit bug appeared.

Ok this is what im trying to do, use all the buildings from Ingria, its already a 5 building town. and give to new orleans. the one problem im having is i really dont know what to do for making ingria road coords. I dont know if that would make it crash. i siill get a crash, the only thing i think it might me the coordinates for the road and fortifications for ingria or its the fact that i moved 5 buildings to lower louisiana from ingria and 1 building to ingria from louisiana in the Regions.esf..


what you think?

what you think?

Don't make any changes in regions.esf for ingria.

After CA today's update, I'll update the tutorial using another 5 building slots city which is easier and have no bags or preconditions.

I guess i was over thinking it. BTW +Rep again. Good job
