Line 8: − + − + − + − As of alpha 10.1.5, the debugging console is enabled by binding the console key at the bottom of the key binding menu in the options window.+ − + − The debugging console can be enabled by using the "-debugconsole" launch parameter.+ − This can be accomplished in Steam by setting it as a launch option for the game, in Windows by making a shortcut to the game and appending the parameter to the end of the path or otherwise launching the game from a terminal/commandline but adding -debugconsole to the end. − − The console can be opened in-game by using the Home button, which you can rebind in the options window. Line 34:
Line 31: − + − + − Needs are no longer needed, but will be inferred from feature dependencies. − − Feature dependencies should no longer be in a separate tag, and you can completely omit the "Dependencies" tag from features without dependencies. − − You can now have multiple SoftwareCategory tags for features, to limit them to more than one software category, with individual unlock dates, use "0" for no unlock date. − − Example: − <pre> − <Feature Vital="TRUE"> − <Name>Multitasking</Name> − <Category>System</Category> − <Description>Let your users pretend they can multitask by having several applications open at any one time.</Description> − <DevTime>6</DevTime> − <Innovation>1</Innovation> − <Usability>1</Usability> − <Stability>0</Stability> − <CodeArt>1</CodeArt> − <SoftwareCategory Category="Computer">0</SoftwareCategory> − <SoftwareCategory Category="Console">2000</SoftwareCategory> − <SoftwareCategory Category="Phone">2000</SoftwareCategory> − <Dependency Software="Operating System">Multithreading</Dependency> − <Dependency Software="Operating System">Example</Dependency> − </Feature></pre> − − == Alpha 10 changes == − Scenarios have been deprecated and will be ignored by the game. − − The IdealPrice tag has been added to SoftwareTypes to control the ideal price of a software category. This can be specified on a SoftwareType or SoftwareCategory level. If not specified, the game will use the old pricing system. Line 366:
Line 335: − − == Scenarios (Deprecated) == − Scenarios can define the start conditions, goals and events in-game. − A scenario type XML file should contain the following tags: − − {|class="wikitable" − |<b>Tag name</b> − |<b>Description</b> − |<b>Example</b> − |- − |Scenario − |This is the root tag, which all tags should be a child to. − | − |- − |Name − |The name of the scenario as shown in the game. − | − |- − |Money − |The available amounts of money at the game start. − |<pre><Money><Amount>1000</Amount><Amount>20000</Amount></Money></pre> − |- − |Goals − |Goals define the "win" condition(s).
