Default The 'sethighestallowedlevel cheat'
I need at least one extra level on a house I'm building and my cheat list gives me the above, then a space followed by [level]. I tried everything I could think of but it doesn't like it. I could lower the slope because it's just for a fireplace...strictly cosmetic; but then it messes with my inset roof wall windows. Trauma, trauma, trauma...LOL Thanks for any help!

[level] = [numbers such as 1,2,3,4...256] But, normally, most people's computers can afford up to 15 or 16 levels.

seemingly, the discussion about highest height is an evergreen topic.

If it is not giving you the next upper grid after setting a suitably high level number, try placing a gable from the roofing tool selection. Just the attempt should give you the grid. You can use undo to remove the gable. The grid will stay.

To avoid any further problems, just add the "set..level 15" in your strartup.cheat.
15 built level are the max, it means 15+the ground=16 (2^4) a program limit I think, over you have a stackoverflow program crash.

I've never had this cheat working predictably. I mean I usually get it working in the end but I usually have to do various random things first before it works - and I do have it in my startup cheats, I still have to type it in when I want it, several times, after deleting and/or building various walls.

Inge, this cheat have no other effect except break a useless limit... why is that limit still exists ? perhaps for the low capacity videos (the base game low hardware limit) ?
And for me the cheat is too long to write it without typo(s) :D

Inge,

Probably, you've got too many hacks... :D!

Jokes apart...
Are you sure the cheat was properly spelled... Typos may be the cause or the new EPs and/or SPs sttart to ignore some cheats?

Anyway, you can make custom shortened cheat for convenience. And also, may have a text file with all the common cheats you use and do the copy-and-paste thing.

for example,
alias bp-45-t "boolprop allow45degreeAngleOfRotation true" "allow45degreeAngleOfRotation = true" "allow45degreeAngleOfRotation = true"
alias bp-45-f "boolprop allow45degreeAngleOfRotation false" "allow45degreeAngleOfRotation = false" "allow45degreeAngleOfRotation = false"

See, how lazy I'm...:D


(added after the following patul's post) I'm gonna learn these from you, patul... :D

The number worked; I had just miscalulated. I needed 8 levels; when I put that number in it worked.

When putting this into the startup file, does it need to begin with "floatprop"?

Nothing else than the in game cheat and it works fine, I dont think it interact with something. No other crashes than my tests since 3 or 4 months I have in my userstartup.

I used to have a problem with it past 9 - at 10, the level would only be 4 clicks high - then the next would be fine - I used to use it alot before they put out the stage, to make interesting stairs.

Default sethighestallowedlevel cheat suggestion
Once you have entered the sethighestallowedlevel (X) cheat and got the program to accept it without an error message, I've found that simply dragging an elevator (not a shaft) to your highest level and getting it to materialize (not displayed in red) then that act alone is sufficient to establish a new grid at the next level. Then delete the elevator and the grid remains. From then on, I've found the grids go up as expected when each level is established by walls, etc.

From a practical point of view in playing your game, any level above about six presents camera control problems that can really be frustrating. I enjoy building tall structures but I very seldom actually play them.

I set to 15 the maxlevel in the userstarter.cheat like the 45° rotation or the cheat mode....no pblem, I forgot the syntax :D
for the grids you have also the double columns to allow them.
