Extra Cheats DLL Descriptions Updated

[Buggi 684]

To help with some of the unknown cheats enabled by the DLL I have been provided details on some of the unknowns. Below you will find the new descriptions, check the STEX for the full descriptions.

 

Barstuck - Once invoked, all of your small commercial services (low-density 1x3 lots) start turning into coffee bars, and then they stay that way forever.

 

WatchMeMove - Enables animation stepping. After it is enabled, control-shift-alt-F11 and control-shift-alt-P implement animation stepping and pausing, respectively.

 

 

GP <on | off> - Enables or disables game pause when you switch to another application. This is useful for if you go away from the game and you want it to sleep while it is in the background. 

 

 

Flora (on | off) | (preserve on | off) | (propogation on | off) | (blast <splat_count> <per_splat_count> <splat radius>)

 

Controls flora simulation parameters. By default, during city play flora simulation is on, preservation is off, and propogation is off. Preservation refers to the keeping of trees on land when the land is developed. Propogation refers to the spreading of seeds and automatic creation of new flora life in the city.

 

Example(s)

Flora on

Flora preserve off

Flora propogation on

Flora blast 5 8 60

 

(Yes, propagation is spelled wrong, I didn't program the thing.)

Wow, this is excellent info. Thanks for sharing.

 

The additional flora options will be especially useful. Preserve will allow further terraforming once flora has been planted, preventing it from being wiped out from terrain changes. This was always one of those annoying limitations with the game, where flora had to be added later on. The "blast" function is also nice to know about. Using the brush tool will no longer be needed to fill an entire tile. It could also create an even coverage across the terrain.

 

By default, flora propagation only works in God Mode. So it's useful to know this can be enabled in Mayor Mode.
