Now, now, I said that was only for one type of file, the RRT_Goods. For every out-of-city Industry (Annex) you have there is an entry in RRT_Depots. For every Industry and Annex you have, there is another entry in RRT_Industries. For every Train Car you use there is an entry in RRT_TrainCars. Then there in Trains, 6 sets of Names, full Decorations.Warll wrote:Ok I can see why we use the GOBALS because it saving mappers times, but 1.3mb saved space alone simply can't justify it.
With every map loaded I have ~ 1GB in Scenarios. There are 814KB in GLOBALS. Figuring ~500KB in data for each map, 66 maps, gives 33MB. And there are more to come.
On the Editer you can add all the Goods, Industries, Annexes and TrainCars to the NewMapBase.xml and you have the full load to choose from. The problem comes if you want an industry and it is in a map but not the GLOBALS, you can't place it with the Editer, you have to do it manually. Another benifit of using GLOBALS.
And, making changes in a map you like is easier, 3 lines for any of the above, including Engines. (of course Industries need 7 more for each location if you choose to go that way)
I do not see a down side to GLOBALS, but then I'm one of the founding fathers of them
