Allow all game settings to be set using script file

As it stands some settings can only be set in the game menu - e.g. Economy’s Impact on Loan Defaults and some settings can only be set in script files - eg city names, specific city numbers

While i realise the game UI probably isn't big enough for all the settings, i dont see why all settings cant be in set using ascript. (an example script could be included with the game that has every possible option set to its default).

Therefore i suggest all game settings are added to the script options if not already there.

FYI, this has been fixed in the latest patch v6.5.07.

If you are aware of any other settings that cannot be set in a script, please list them here.
(an example script could be included with the game that has every possible option set to its default).
I will make such an example script when this poll has garnered enough affirmative votes.

I may well be wrong on these but

Economy’s Impact on Loan Default
Boom-Bust Cycle Volatility ?
AI Tech Head Start ?
Global Competitiveness Rating Increases ?
Disruption to Traditional Media ?
Realistic Loan Demand ?
Warehouse Floors ?


(i think a lot of these are fairly new)

All of these will be added in the next version 6.5.08.

Warehouse floors and realistic loan already work in post-release Beta but not release version.

Yep, I just added them to the web site today.

I've also updated the sample scripts. You can download sample scripts at the bottom of those Script info web pages.

For instance, here are the ones about the Environment script:

have the city economic ones been moved to there own section now ?

The only one i don't see on the script pages now is Realistic Loan Demand, i see realistic money supply ( I think i missed this because its a challenge game setting ), but not loan demand
