Building Placement snaps to Grid

Description
If you are used to other RTS games or have a little bit of OC, this mod is for you. While trying to place a building (except Docks), it now snaps to an invisible grid where each tile has the size of a Tower. You can still rotate them as usual. Helps with perfect city planning!

Idea comes from OCD Mode for OC Players by Balam Ajaw with two changes:
+ Fixed the bug that Mirror Towers were no longer able to shoot with this mod.
+ Wall Connectors are now affected as well.

Note: This mod is Desync Sensitive. This means you can only play multiplayer if every participant subscribed to this mod!

Note: This mod modifies the proto2.8.xml file. This means you can't combine it with other mods that modify the file as well. The one with higher priority (higher position) in your mod manager overwrites the changes of the other mod.

Of course, feel free to publish the mod on your own.

- To do that go to ..\Age of Mythology\mods and create a new folder with the name of your mod maybe something like "Buildings snap to Grid - Higher Limits".
- In that new folder create a "data" folder in which you put the proto2.8.xml file with your changes (mine and the other mod).
- Start the game and in the main menu, click on the Steam icon to see your mods. There select your new own new mod (the name you used in the first step) and click the "Publish Mod" button. Make sure to add a description of your mod, maybe with a reference to this one.

Hello good sir, I have modified a bit the files of your mod to add the features of this one who was not only incompatible but outdated: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1507605467
It's one of those no house limit mods, among a couple other things.
Would you mind if I where to upload it? Not that I know how to, but I can look it up.

Of course it does. As stated, it modifies the proto2.8.xml file and cannot be combined with other mods that do this as well.

This mod unfortunately breaks population mods like ones that add more than 10 houses.

Hey again! :)

So far I like the mod sometimes, but it bothered me other times when I did not WANT to snap to grid. In that case what I typcially do is save, disable the mod, make changes and save again, and enable the mod. Have fun!

Oh hey it's you! This could dramatically increase my base building speed if I'm not insanely using farms to space everything apart just so. I'll give it a try.
