	Adding tile improvements??? Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

I'm going crazy.... I've been trying to add some tile improvements with no success... the thing I think that is catching me up is the lack of help from Activision before they took off...

Anyone got any info?

Icon ICON_TILEIMP_TRADING_POST #defined in the tileimpicon.txt
Tooltip TOOLTIP_TILEIMP_SELECT_ATM1_BUTTON #?
Statusbar STATUSBAR_TILEIMP_SELECT_ATM1_BUTTON #?
Level 1 #? but not worried about it
Class:ATM #probably in exe so not worrying about it

ConstructionTiles 1 #?
ConstructionTiles 21 #?
ConstructionTiles 22 #?

Tooltip & Statusbar are strings that are in the ctp2_data\english\gamedata\tips_str.txt. Tooltips come up when you mouse over the improvement and it pops up a lil box that says what it is. Statusbar strings I believe appear under your control panel on the bottom of the screen.

Level & Class determine where in the tileimprovement are it will appear under. Level 1 Class ATM would be the top money tile improvement under the land section.

Each area (Land, Ocean, Special, and Terraform) have 3 rows of 4. These are your levels 1-3. Class determines the column they will fall in with all but terraforming.

code:

                    Class Table
Type      Col 1          Col 2         Col 3             Col 4
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Land      Farm           Road          Mine             ATM
Ocean   OceanFarm   OceanMine   OceanATM     OceanRoad
Special   Structure1    Structure2    LandDetector  OceanDetector
