New Features in v3.3.00:

Supporting MOD version in MOD header file.

http://www.capitalismlab.com/how-to-make-a-mod.html

The MOD text file should be formatted like this:

[MOD]

Title=<The MOD title>

Version=<The version of the MOD>

Description=<the description text>

Author=<The author of this MOD>

The following are optional lines:
Add Seaport Product=<Product Type>
(Supported in version 3.1.00 or later. You may assign multiple products using the same syntax, like the below example. )

Maximum Product Price=<a value between 20000 and 100000>
(Supported in version 3.1.02 or later. If you intend to create a MOD containing products with standard prices higher than $20000, then you will have to use this statement to set the maximum product price allowed in the game to a value higher than $20000.)

Example:

[MOD]

Title=My Capitalism Lab MOD

Version=2.5

Description=This is my first MOD for Capitalism Lab

Author=Capitalism Person

Add Seaport Product=Steel
Add Seaport Product=Plastic

Maximum Product Price=50000

A new special game rule for script files – Unlimited Natural Resources

http://www.capitalismlab.com/script---s ... rules.html

Unlimited Natural Resources=<Yes,No>

If you set this to Yes, when a natural resource firm (mine/oil well/logging camp) has used up its reserve, instead of stopping its operation, it will continue to produce the natural resources with a new recurring cost.

The recurring cost of producing a single unit of the natural resource will equal to the original cost of acquiring natural resource site, divided by the original reserve amount, and adjusted for the current inflation.


Added [Open Folder] button on the Load Script menu.

On the new game setting menu, there is a new option for enabling/disabling the multiple floor system for retail stores

Added the new "Retail Store Floors" option on the new game setting menu
Users who prefer not to have the multiple floors feature at retail stores may use this option to turn it off.

Nice.

Just patched to 3.3.00. Tried putting it under [Header] and [Mod] same error.

Script file: C:\Users\William\Documents\My Games\Capitalism Lab Post-Release Beta\SCRIPT\Not That Complex Script.txt
Error: the following lines cannot be recognized by the script system.

[HEADER]
Title=Not That Complex Script
Description=Sets up a complex and challenging environment to start and build an business empire.
Version=1.3
Author=WilliamMGary

Also the new floor feature is missing....

regarding playing 3.3.00 with script

it seems that in the regular game settings the"retail store type" one/many was replaced by the "multi store floors" one/multiple
and as the default value seem to me single floor, it forces anyone using a script for extended gamesettings to play with single floor stores.

any chance to insert a script value to adress the multi floor stores?

Ah so that's my problem. Yeah can we get a script rule for multiple floors? Actually, the last patch I used my script and multiple floors seemed to be in the base game has this direction changed?

This version added the new "Retail Store Floors" option on the new game setting menu.

Actually this is for the MOD text file, not for the script text file.

The latest version v3.3.01 now supports this script statement.

Ah, I think it makes sense...in the name of consistency add this to the scripting system as well.
