The [build] command

Description of the 'Virtual Builder' window

The virtual builder window has various areas, each of which tells you valuable information about the constructions you are configuring.

Countdown

Construction countdown

You can set up up to 5 virtual constructions at the same time.
Each of them will then be assigned a countdown timer showing you how much time is left for construction.

Global countdown

The countdown at the bottom of the area adds up the compilation time of the 5 other countdowns. Thus, this global countdown tells you how much compilation time is left before you can start building the virtual objects.

Parameters Console

Parameters panel

At the top right of the window is the parameters panel. In this panel, you will find all the configurable parameters (build code, energy, bipolar coordinates, etc.) of the selected construction.

Build console

Constituting the lower half of the window, the build console shows you the current status of your virtual construction. It can have 4 different states:

Simulation
When you perform a simulation to check your construction parameters, the console will indicate the mention 'SIM'.
Build ready
The word 'Ready' is displayed in the console when a build is ready to be compiled.
Compilation in current
During compilation, the console plays an animation. The countdowns are then started and the total compilation percentage is indicated to you via the progress bar located at the top left of the window.
Compilation finished
Once a virtual build is fully compiled, the console will tell you 'OK', and the three bars composing it will be loaded in green.

Sub-commands related to the [build] command

Initialization

Open the 'Virtual Builder' window.

build

Build.002 — When no build is configured, the console shows 'waiting for build' by default

Selecting a virtual build

Selects a virtual object and displays its build settings in the configuration console at the top right of the window.

The buildable virtual objects are: the 5 Lyoko territories (Mountains, Desert, Forest, Ice, and Carthage), the Skidbladnir and his 4 navskids (navskidR, navskidY, navskidB, navskidS), the GarageSkid and finally the maze of the Sector 5.
The Sector 5 maze can only be built at the same time as the latter. Moreover, it is the only construction that does not require any configuration.

Build.003 — Sound feedback confirms the selection of a virtual construction

Configuring a construction parameter

Configure a parameter of the selected virtual construction.

Each virtual object has its own characteristics that need to be configured in order to be able to build it. Similarly, each parameter has its own value type.

What are the construction parameters?

Build Code

Description

Common to all virtual constructions, the build code contains the source codes of the virtual object to which it is associated.This value will change with each new game you start.

Nomenclature

All building codes are presented in exactly the same way. These are composed of 6 characters in the form 'AABAAB' with A representing a number and B representing a letter.

The first letter always corresponds to the first letter of the name of the virtual object with which the code is associated (in English).

Bipolar Coordinates

Description

The bipolar coordinates define the location where the virtual object will be built.

Nomenclature

The bipolar coordinates of a virtual object are defined in an orthonormal coordinate system along the abscissa axis and the ordinate axis. Thus, these coordinates have the form (x; y) with x and y representing a number between 0 and 1000. This value will change with each new game you start.

Energy

Description

Each virtual object requires a certain amount of energy in order to be built. This quantity varies according to the programmed virtual construction. You can consult the energy demand of each building via the 'Energy Stat' window.

Nomenclature

The energy is a value with between 0 and 100,000 energy units.

<Construction>.energy.<Valeur>

Value

5^th Territory: 2,000 energies,
Surface area: 1,800 energies,
Skidbladnir: 1,000 energies,
GarageSkid: 600 energies.

Digital Sea Level

Description

When constructing a territory, you need to set the Digital sea level. The lower the level of the latter, the more time you will have to materialize a Lyoko Warrior if he falls towards the Mortal Ocean.

Nomenclature

The Digital sea level must be a value between -300 and -600.

<Construction>. sea level.<Valeur>

Code: Way TowerAccess

Description

The access code to the towers allows you to limit access to the towers only to virtual beings with a virtual signature, i.e. lyoko warriors. These values will change with each new game you start.

Nomenclature

The Way TowerAccess code consists of 6 letters between A, C, G, and T.

Code: Way TowerRoad

Description

The Way TowerRoad code configures the tunnel connecting a surface area to the Sector 5. These values will change with each new game you start.

Nomenclature

The Way TowerRoad code is a 6-digit code between 0 and 1.

<Construction>. road and tour.<Valeur>

Module Construction Order

Description

As the name suggests, the parameter of module construction order allows you to define in what order the 10 Skidbladnir modules will be built. The order of the modules will change with each new game.

Nomenclature

Each parameter corresponds to the exact name of the module. So the [10 modules] (76 #skidbladnir_module) are: the main axle, the torpedos, the stabilisers, the sonar, the backbrakes, the shields, the digital key, the propellers, the tweezers and the turbopropeller.

Build.004 — By default, the settings are set to -1

Simulation

Simulates the construction of each programmed virtual object to check if all the parameters have been configured correctly.

If one or more parameters have been configured incorrectly, a bug window will alert you to which parameters and constructs the detected errors come from.

build.simulate

Build.006 — The loading window will open during the simulation

Compilation

Compiles virtual objects programmed via the virtual constructor.

A successful simulation must be performed before virtual objects can be compiled.
You will have to start compiling from scratch if you close the 'Virtual Constructor' window, turn off the interface or perform a [reboot].

Unlike all the other programs in the interface, the virtual constructor is not reset during a Return to the Past.
Depending on the type of compilation you are doing, a 'Compiler'; window will open on the interface:
- The 'Compiler - Structure' window
  The 'Compiler - Structure' window is used for compiling virtual material. It will be used when you compile a sector or the GarageSkid.
- The 'Compiler - Vehicle'
  The 'Compiler - Vehicle' window is used to assemble the various Skidbadnir modules. So this window will only appear when you compile the virtual submarine.
