You're right Dal Rath. Some of the entries (17168 out of 24629 by my count) in the datafile_towns.xml have a terraintype id of 4 which is 'Town'. If you look at the terrain file there are certain ids that are missing 4 is one of those. I don't know why some have that terrain type and so far examining the files hasn't given me any ideas.

That's just the tip of the iceberg. There are actually 74 different names that all have typeid=4. I'd assuming the name is right and the id is nonsense, but I need a dev to take a look at the code that is generating the dump and confirm that.

Without looking at every single one of those I would say that those are the original terrain types before a town was placed on the tile. If the town were to be moved that is what the tile would revert to.

Maybe, but in that case id should always just use the original terrain type id. We know there is a town there, it's in the towns file! Also 2 is overloaded, which is strange. The more specific type id should be used instead.

I think it may be related to this post by GM Stormcrow

Hi GM Stormcrow What's the format of the [@...] encoded entries in the notifications xml notificationdetail field? I assume it's [@entitytype=field|field|field] but I cant find anything that describes the various types that may be encountered or how to decode their field meanings. Thanks! |

I don't think we've ever published a description of these fields, but I can see how it would make sense to do so. I'll see what I can do; there's quite a few of them. Regards, SC

Thanks!
Basically what I'm doing is converting the notifications feed into RSS so that it can be consumed by any standard feed reader, or piped into IFTTT for further processing. What that in mind, is ot possible to deep link direct to specific entities in the game e.g. create a URl that will load a specific town in the game GUI? It would be nice to click on a 'finished building' link in the feed and go direct to the town to start a new build. |

Nice idea.
afaik town focus is a parameter that's changed from inside the tent. However, I'll ask TC when I get a moment, as front-end is very much his bailiwick rather than mine. SC |

great, thanks for looking into it.
A feature request if you get the time (yeah, unlikely I know!): '...?LastNotificationID=X' requires a stateful system - you have to remember the last thing you saw so you know where to pick up from. Feed readers don't understand that protocol. Could we have '...?hours=X' as an option too, where X is some int value that describes how far back in time from the present you like to reach. Feed readers don't understand that either, but they don't need to since it's a static value configured by the user, not something the feed reader needs to calculate on a per-request basis. |
