In one of the recent topics there are some guidelines how does it work.
This is Simutrans Extended and a other Pak.
I don't know if Extended work like Standard.
In the current version there are a couple of different files in the config folder
Normally is is no need to change something here.
Normally cityrules.tab is used. But you can rename the other cityrules_??? ??.tab to cityrules.tab.
VS??? means Version of the Pak
cityrules_VS1.1.tab = old file from pak128.german version 1.1
the other files corresponding
For Version 1.2 i had written the file new from scratch.
there are a version with Highways (mit_Autobahn) and one without (ohne_Autobahn)
about the parameter of the cityrule.tab file
look here
https://simutrans-germany.com/wiki/wiki/de_cityrules_tab?highlight=cityrulesIn my personal case, I don't ever change anything in the default settings and finish with cities sprawling out with allotments. I wonder if this is the direct reason to never see the elaborated high level buildings contained in the last versions of the pakset.
Sorry this is a bug in the official Version in 1.2 at sourceforge, your guess is correct.
If you download from
https://pak128-german.de/ the bug should be solved.
Sadly i have no writing access to the file section of sourceforge to fix this.
This is the reason of no announcement for Version 1.2.
But we work on Version 1.3, i think it comes soon.
