This is a very short description of the gebaeude.tab file syntax.

The gebaeude.tab file is used to tell the game which buildings it 
should use for the cities. The buildings are separated into three groups:

1.) Residential buildings
2.) Commercial buildings
3.) Industrial buildings

The file consists of three sections of buildings descriptions right in the
above mentioned order. 

An example of a section: 

4
84 0 01_WOHN
84 0 02_WOHN
90 0 03_WOHN
90 0 04_WOHN

This section tells the game, there are 4 buildings of this type.
Each building is described by one line:

<image number> <skyscraper flag> <description string>

The image number id the number of the base image for this building.
The skyscaper flag is 0 for normal buildings and 1 for double height buildings.
Higher buildings (flag values 2 and 3) are not yet supported by the game.
The description string is used to look up the building description from the 
translation files (de.tab, en.tab, fi.tab and fr.tab currently).

If this string is missing in the translation file, it willbe displayed in the 
building info window itself. This is not harmful but just annoying.


If you don't understand this explanation or if you have questions how to 
include new buildings into the game just ask me:
