Appendix 3: Scaffolding Height
Depending on the height of the finished building, it is divided into a number of (let's call it F) fractions. During construction, if the building is growable (or LotConfigPropertyDoConstruction = True), the scaffolding will jump up in steps equal to 1/F of the final height. The height of the current scaffolding is given in this field. Checking several buildings under construction of different heights, I've e.g. found the following values: 1/2, 1/3, 2/3, 3/5, 4/5, 2/7, 4/7, 4/9, 8/17, 7/20 Once the scaffolding enters the height of the final building, this field will get a value of 1.00 A finished building always has a value of 1.00 in this field.
Savegame Properties (SGProps)
0x899AFBAD - Custom Name Type: String Rep Count = String Length Contains the customized name given to a building in the game 0x08D9763D - Utility Usage Type: UInt32/SInt32 Rep Count = 0 UInt32 for Water Pumps SInt32 for Power Plants 0x00000000 for newly plopped facilities The actual amount of water and power produced (and used by the city). 0x2A58D350 - Actual Monthly Cost at full funding Type: SInt64 Rep Count = 0 Only for utility buildings, not for other civic buildings. Takes into account "Funding percentage to decay rate multiplier response curve". 0xEA54D284 - Budget Panel Identification Type: UInt32 Rep Count > 0 Normally a link to the Building Exemplar's IID 0x00000001 = Ambulance or School Bus 0xEA54D287 - Local Budget Funding in % Type: Float32 Rep Count > 0 Funding percentage of those items set in 0xEA54D284 0x0910BFCF - Accumulated Age Degradation Type: Float32 Rep Count = 0 0xE9244B2E - School Capacity (actual capacity, based on funding) Type: UInt32 Rep Count = 0 0x09220161 - School Usage (actual number of students) Type: UInt32 Rep Count = 0 0xFFFFFFFF if newly plopped 0x49244B21 - Hospital Capacity (actual capacity, based on funding) Type: UInt32 Rep Count = 0 0xC922015C - Hospital Usage (actual number of patients) Type: UInt32 Rep Count = 0 0xFFFFFFFF if newly plopped 0x292453C5 - School Grade? (between 0.00 and 1.00) 0x2A976C20 - School Grade? (between 0.00 and 1.00) Type: Float32 Rep Count = 0 One is probably the grade. What is the other one? 0x092453CB - Hospital Grade? (between 0.00 and 1.00) 0xAA976BE7 - Hospital Grade? (between 0.00 and 1.00) Type: Float32 Rep Count = 0 One is probably the grade. What is the other one? 0x48D71EE1 - Jail Usage (actual number of inmates) Type: UInt32 Rep Count = 0 0x00000000 if newly plopped For the Modd Squad Safety I had an inmate count of 19 in the query, but this property showed 20. 0x48D71ED7 - Police Station available(?) dispatches Type: UInt32 Rep Count = 0 For some reason this is usually not accurate though, compared to the building property Police Station, Total Dispatches, e.g: Station Total SGPROP plopped: Dispatches Dispatches Police Kiosk 0 1 Small Police Station 2 1 Large Police Station 4 3 DeLuxe Police Station 6 7 Modd Squad Safety 20 21 Thus, I cannot guarantee what this property is showing. However the values are the only ones that even somewhat match up to the total dispatches. 0x69B425DD - Fire Station available(?) dispatches Type: UInt32 Rep Count = 0 For some reason this is usually not accurate though, compared to the building property Fire Station, Total Dispatches, e.g: Station Total SGPROP plopped: Dispatches Dispatches Small Fire Station 1 1 Large Fire Station 2 2 Fire Landing Strip 2 4 Modd Squad Safety 20 21 Thus, I cannot guarantee what this property is showing. However the values are the only ones that even somewhat match up to the total dispatches. 0x48D71ED8 - Police Station - Unknown property Type: UInt32 Rep Count = 0 0x00000000 - Police Kiosk 0x00000003 - Small Police Station 0x0000000F - Large Police Station 0x0000003F - DeLuxe Police Station 0x000FFFFF - Modd Squad Safety 0x69B425DE - Fire Station - Unknown property Type: UInt32 Rep Count = 0 0x00000001 - Small Fire Station 0x00000003 - Large Fire Station 0x00000003 - Fire Landing Strip 0x000FFFFF - Modd Squad Safety 0x8A70A0B9 - Crimes and Arrests Type: UInt32 Rep Count = 4 Rep 1 = Number of Crimes this month (as reported by the query) Rep 2 = Number of Arrests this month (as reported by the query) Rep 3 = Number of Crimes the previous month Rep 4 = Number of Arrests the previous month 0xAC0B070E - Unknown - DeLuxe Police Station - Helicopter related? Type: UInt32 Rep Count = 0 0xEC0B0709 - Unknown - DeLuxe Police Station - Helicopter related? Type: UInt32 Rep Count = 0 0x0C0AFF3F - Unknown - Fire Landing Strip - Fire Plane related? Type: UInt32 Rep Count = 0 0xCC0AFDDB - Unknown - Fire Landing Strip - Fire Plane related? Type: UInt32 Rep Count = 0 0x69DBEBE1 - Unknown Data Type: Boolean Rep Count: 0 Values seen: always False (never True) This is rare, but has been found in the prop subfile, the flora subfile and the building subfile NOTE: Just like ordinary police and fire stations, the Modd Squad Safety did not get the property 0xEA54D284 (Budget Panel Identification). Thus, I do not currently know in which order the budget fundings given in 0xEA54D287 are to be read. That property did get three reps, all at 100%, probably for police funding, jail funding and fire station funding.
