What effects the radius of influence around buildings?

[ValentineHeart82]

When you place a building, it extenda you're radius of influence allowing you to build other buildings. Some buildings extend it more than others. Is there any way to modify a specific building, such as the Siren Wonder building, to have double or half the radius of influence?

There is also a wiki page that shows how to edit the file, and it tells you what value is what.

But, that I forgot.

I have to stop using google for this sort of thing. It reminds me of those Bing Commercials. I type in "Black and White 2 Mod Wiki" and I get sites for Black and White Fabric Sheets and Zebra Print Curtains.

Anyway the links you gave me contain mods, but no instructions for how to mod them myself. Plus I'm modding Battle of the Gods, so I can't use most existing mod files because they don't account for the new buildings and miracles found only in Battle of the Gods.

Yesh, but the names and values do corrispond.

So, you can just check these edited files to the original, and so find out what value to change into what direction!


... seriously.. you didn't figure that out?  ???

Just so I'm not "One of those People" who asks a question that other people search for the answer to then fails to share my answer.

Impressiveness if in
\Data\Balance\PlacementData.xml
Which can be edited with note pad.

If you want Zero Impressiveness for the Siren Wonder change
"basevalue impressiveness="15.0"
to
"basevalue impressiveness="0.0"

Radius of Influence can be found in
\Data\Balance\GameBalanceBuilding.txt
Which can also be edited with note pad (duh).

If you want to double the radius of influence around the Siren Wonder change
SIREN_WONDER 7000 4000 31.8 220.125786163522 20 4 40 0 50 0 120 0 1 0 8 160 0.8 0.7 0.5 0 0.6 0.01
to
SIREN_WONDER 7000 4000 31.8 220.125786163522 20 4 40 0 50 0 240 0 1 0 8 160 0.8 0.7 0.5 0 0.6 0.01

The first two values are also wood and ore cost, in that order.
