How to make region resettable rather than deletable?

[proud grotto]

Just like default regions are

[analog minnow]

In a more recent version,i think just making a new region will do that.

[proud grotto]

I have the most recent stable version at steam, but regions i create could be deleted instead od reset

[swift ingot]

That's because default regions are included with the game so they can be reset to their original state. Custom generated region original state is not stored anywhere.

[proud grotto]

Where are the regions stored exactly?

[swift ingot]

Custom regions? In your home folder/TheoTown/regions

[proud grotto]

Nope, their backups for the needs of resetting

[swift ingot]

They are not directly accessible as they are bundled with the game itself

[analog minnow]

Maybe before claiming any city. Do this:

1. Copy all .city files.
2. Make .origin folder.
3. Paste all .city files there.
4. Test it.

[proud grotto]

Doens't work; it's already there; i still see "delete region" option

[analog minnow]

Click on a city you'd want to reset.

And not on the 3 stripes.

[proud grotto]

Nope, it's a different action. I am concerned solely with an action of resetting region

[analog minnow]

I see what you're trying to do now.

Wht not try copying from an region .origin folder and overrides it?

[proud grotto]

I did, but apparently it serves only for cities reset

But i'll try once again

Ja says its not possible on custom regions

[proud grotto]

Oh, okay. Perhaps some clarification on that matters from devs?..

[finite hamlet]

he is a dev

you can see in #staff-information

[proud grotto]

@finite hamlet oh, okay! Ta a lot. Hope they will implement resettable custom regions some day. Have a good one

[finite hamlet]

That used to be a feature

it was removed so im sure they had their reasons

you can use kikis method of duplicating region files if you want to go back to its original state when youre starting a new map
