Editing your town



House Data


Every house in the town is defined in a series of files that are included in the house_data.txt file. Opening that file we first see a list of definitions that give the game a name to each of the house graphics, like this:

SpriteDefs

"SOUTHSIDE_TRAILER_1",
"SOUTHSIDE_TRAILER_2",
"SOUTHSIDE_TRAILER_3",
"SOUTHSIDE_TRAILER_4",

These names are then used in the actual house definitions as found in southside.txt:

house

X: 185
Y: 320
address "808 Harbour Road"
Sprite "SOUTHSIDE_HOUSE_4"
bathrooms 1
Dollar_Xoff 24
Dollar_Yoff -29
house_end

Notice the Sprite "SOUTHSIDE_HOUSE_4" entry - as you may have guessed that binds the fourth house or (programmer speak) sprite to this house definition. We will talk about the other entries later.
