I'm trying to work out some kind of odd desirability problem in my city related to commercial offices absolutely refusing to upgrade to their maximum stages, and I want to see what the more detailed query view tells me about the situation so I can (Possibly) work it out. Obviously, as I am here, I've been unable to find out how to activate it. Could someone be kind of enough to inform poor, woefully ignorant me?
you get more info with cntrl-alt-shift while using the "?" query
Wow, I can't believe I've been deprived of such a feature until now! :'( Thanks for sharing!
Note also that you need to have Buggi's Extra Cheats DLL (http://host.simvision.net/SC4ExtraCheats.zip) for the Ctrl-Shift-Alt query to work. ;)
SC4BOY,
Thank you!
RippleJet,
Thank you! On a side note...every time I see a great mod or tweak (Such as the .exe tweaks), I see your name mentioned. Are you omnipresent by any chance?
I believe so....I think of him more as a walking SC4 encyclopedia! I'm not sure if there is anything game related he doesn't know ;D

Hello,
This is related to the detailed query. I don't know if anyone else has discovered a "Query.txt". Just as background, I'm using SimCity through wine on Linux. When I used the detailed query and clicked a building, I was hoping for further information, but the query box in game was the same as always. When I exited the game, and later, I went to my /home folder, I found a "Query.txt" file. I opened it and it had information about the building I clicked on.
Hmm, I can't attach the file, so I'll paste it in this post:

sumwonyuno, that is a very good find! :thumbsup: &apls
I will need to take a closer look at this when I return from my vacation.
However, I can already say that there's a lot of valuable information contained in that query.txt file.
I'll make another thread to show my findings, so as to not hijack this thread.
Here is the thread: Query.txt (http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=8870.0)
