FILE NAME: “data_cities.json”
FILE HEADER: “cities”
FIELD | FORMAT | DESCRIPTION |
pack | Text (string) | This determines which ‘campaign’ it belongs to. Ex. NA = North America . Cities will be unlocked depending on what other cities in the same campaign have been unlocked previously. |
id | Text (string) | This is a unique identifier for other scripts to use as reference. In the case of cities, it will determine the position in the map. So, for instance, if you’d like to make ‘Hamburg’, make the id “berlin”, as it is the closest city in the map (this will prevent Berlin from being loaded as a city though and will instead load Hamburg). |
title | Localized Text (string) | Key of city’s name in localization file. |
description | Localized Text (string) | Brief description shown when selecting city. Recommended to explain the challenge in the skill tree or the vibe of this level. |
