Okay, before everyone shouts me down for attempting to mod the game right out of the gates, let me open by saying that this is a direct result of the 2000 pop cap (which is discussed in another thread). I'm rather frustrated by this in one of my sandbox games, where I probably need at least 2500 people for my current buildings, nevermind for anything more. I managed to extract the Lua pack using HPK Archiver 1.05 and found I was able to decompile most of the Lua's I tried. In any event, through doing this I found 2 files of interest: City.lua (which holds the forced emigration code) and _const.lua (which holds various constants, including the pop cap). So, after a variety of different attempts to get it to load (including using my very limited knowledge of the T4 mod.lua loading) and ended up with one odd occurrence: When I directly copy-paste the extracted Lua folders into the Tropico 5 directory (image shared below) and tried to load, the game clearly is trying to load it as the Main Menu (along with everything else) gets messed up in all sorts of ways -- image shared below (plain black background, load game button doesn't work, etc.). Tropico 5 Folder, including the extracted Lua directories (and some other junk which is irrelevant but figured I'd leave in): Main Menu Screenshot (I cropped the image quite a bit as with my resolution the full size would about 3-4 times bigger than the above image -- still gives the idea): When I remove the Lua directories from my T5 folder, the game loads normally. I hope the admins allow this thread to stay.

In any event, I'm a self-described habitual modder. I registered solely so I could post this. Kalypso's hard cap on population is ridiculous. I would like to break it myself.

I have followed these steps: 1. Downloaded 'HPK Archiver 1.05'. Unpacked Lua.hpk which output the folders CommonLua and Lua. I also got a single error: D: Tropico 5 Modding Lua Config _LuaRevision.lua Could not decompress the file. Tried to open up _const.lua with Notepad++ and my file looks like this: [Image: ] I can't get it to show something which I can understand and edit? I found the words PopLimit but it just says NULEOTENQNULNULNUL after it. How can I change this so that my population limit is 5000?

Please help, I desperately want to be able to remove the limit. It's working. At least it working for const.MilitaryExploreCost, so I assume It will work for other constants.

No-registration upload of files up to 250MB. Not available in some countries. Nov 05, 2007 For this reason I would suggest making „no astral gates” rule on this template. All template files are. Easiest way to send it would be to zip or rar it.

Ill Gates Template Rar Files

Imaeos: That would probably be in the actual hard code of the.exe, which is illegal to alter in any way. Aside from the legal aspect, it certainly wouldn't be as easy as setting an option like 'Allow DX10', or I'm sure it would already be supported. Instead, it would require a fair amount of re-working the graphics and render code to allow for it. Hopefully they will support it ASAP, though. EDIT @ Abrakadabra: I haven't gotten that far yet. In a preliminary search of the extracted files, the building data seems to be stored differently from Tropico 3/4. In Tropico 3/4 each building had its own.lua file, but in my look through it didn't seem that is the case in Tropico 5.

But perhaps rather all building data is stored together within a few files rather than individually. Building Template is where a lot of the individual building data code is located (Data BuildingTemplate) It looks like modding building stats is going to be a little more difficult than in Tropico 4. The first hurdle is that luadec butchers the file. I used Chunkspy to 'read' a file.

Rather than try to decipher Chunkspy output on a building I suggest just printing the template to the log file using DebugPrint() That will give you an idea of how the information is stored. DataInstances.Template.BuildingName Once you know how it's stored you can manipulate it. Just playing around and using some built in functions (DataInstances.Template:FindIndexOfClass(class) ) I was able to create a mod that doubled the housing capacity of all residential buildings: Paste to DoubleHousing.lua in Tropico 5 CommonLua or download.

I wonder if it's some sort of bug because I didn't think the default rotation speed was horribly slow.

There might be an easier way though. I used the tools already created and available for Tropico 4.

See the modding threads in the Tropico 4 forums for HPK archiver and LuaDec First I use HPK archiver to extract the packs located in Tropico 5 Packs. Some crashed the archiver but I didn't worry about those. I didn't bother with the mesh, audio, or texture packs. I extracted them to a folder (e: Modding Tropico 5 ) Next I dumped luadec into e: Modding Tropico 5 Next I wrote a cheap little batch file, saved it in the above folder, and ran it.

The first Download Festival was created by, Tom Pyke and Andy Copping in 2003 in the same location. Rather than run as a single day event Download was initially a two-day event, expanding to three days in 2005. The name Download was chosen for the festival for two reasons. Downloading was a dirty word in the music industry at the time, due to file sharing, and rock is seen as a rebellious genre of music. Also Download was to be a Monsters of Rock for the 21st century and the internet would provide connectivity with its audience. The 2003 festival tickets had a code on them, which would allow festival goers to download tracks from bands which had played. Although this idea has been dropped in subsequent years, the festival organizers have nurtured an online community through the Download Festival Forums.

Initially a sounding board for the fans (and critics) of the festival, the boards have become an integral part of the festival organization with regular contributions from Festival Director John Probyn and Promoter Andy Copping.
