Question on export_buildings

**RollingWave** · January 30, 2011, 10:22 AM

Hello, I can't seem to find guides on this issue on the board...

Anyway, my question is this, I know that you can make the same building have different description VIA culture, but can it go further down? like faction? for example if these 2 faction (say England and Scotland) using the same building, but if I want the description of the building to look different... can I do for example

...

instead of

{school_middle_eastern}Madrasa
{school_middle_eastern_desc}xxx
{school_middle_eastern_desc_short}Allows for characters to gain a basic education for their culture.
{school_northern_european}School
{school_northern_european_desc}xxxx
{school_northern_european_desc_short}Allows for characters to gain a basic education for their culture.

I go for...

{school_scotland}Madrasa
{school_scotland_desc} xxx
{school_scotland_desc_short}Allows for characters to gain a basic education for their culture.
{school_england}School
{school_england_desc} xxx
{school_england_desc_short}Allows for characters to gain a basic education for their culture.

Would something like this work?

It doesn't work like that in export_units, I know that much. I suggest you try it and see what it says in the log.

This is where I point out that it would have been quicker to test this than post the question...

Because buidings are culture specific, not faction specific.

drat... oh well it's nothing that can't be solved by just using separate buildings, thanks for answering

For example, logging camp entries from SS:

Code:

{logging_camp_name}Logging Camp
{logging_camp}Logging Camp
{logging_camp_desc}Before a building can be constructed, proper materials have to be gathered. The process of cutting down trees and transporting them to the place of need is carried out by a lumberjack. These sturdy man work around logging camps, which are located near a forest. Having a logging camp outside the settlement will decrease the cost of constructing wooden buildings.
{logging_camp_desc_short}Logging Camp decreases the cost of constructing buildings which require wood.
{logging_camp_cumans_desc}Before a building can be constructed, proper materials have to be gathered. The process of cutting down trees and transporting them to the place of need is carried out by a lumberjack. These sturdy man work around logging camps, which are located near a forest. Having a logging camp outside the settlement will decrease the cost of constructing wooden buildings and provides a small income.
{logging_camp_cumans_desc_short}Logging Camp decreases the cost of constructing buildings which require wood and provides an income.
{logging_camp_lithuania_desc}Before a building can be constructed, proper materials have to be gathered. The process of cutting down trees and transporting them to the place of need is carried out by a lumberjack. These sturdy man work around logging camps, which are located near a forest.

Yes gracul is right building descriptions can be faction specific.

Yes its possible to have faction specific building descriptions, at least it was in RTW and although I haven't tried it, it seems kinda silly for them to have changed that bit of the engine.
