A constant is a value of the "constant.dat" file in the ''[[level]]s'' folder of [[Populous: The Beginning]] that controls the game's mathematical operations and values. The list of the decrypted constants was released by [[TedTycoon]] and has most of the games values such as tree grow rates, wood requirements, charge rates, mana requirements, and even how fast [[brave]]s can spawn in a single [[hut]]. Other constants not found in the constant.dat file were found by [[Xandra]] and [[Brandan]] control many other aspects of the game's operations such as how many braves can build a hut at a time and even what model is used by trees. An example is changing the [[tree]]'s constant value to 3000 will make the trees appear as Eagles instead of trees.  The text name of all constants begins with the string "P3CONST_" followed by the description.

A constant is a value of the "constants.dat" file in the "[[levels]]" folder of [[Populous: The Beginning]] this controls the games mathematical operations and values of the game. The first version of the [[constants]] we're released by [[TedTycoon]] and has most of the games values such as [[tree grow rates]], [[wood requirements]], changing [[charge rates]], [[mana requirements]], even how fast [[brave]]'s can spawn in a single [[hut]]. The newer versions (known as The Forbidden Constants) that [[Xandra]] and [[Brandan]] found allows you to change almost every aspect of the games operations. This newer version included controls how many braves can build a hut at a time and even what [[object]] (picture) tree are. An example is changing the [[tree]]'s to 3000, this will make the trees appear as Eagles instead of trees.
=== Patching common issues with constants ===
The constant values can be used in modern day games to fix common issues like [[path finding]] issues by changing '''P3CONST_WALK_ALT_DIFF2 = ''' to 600-900. This will resolve every path finding issue in the game. The same patch could be applied to the games incorrect [[building]] height setitng where if theres a small bump it hinders the building from being built, and causing some levels unfair for certain tribes/colors, to fix this change '''P3CONST_BUILD_ALT_DIFF2 = ''' to 200 - 300. Setting the values too high can result to unrealistic building/walking and could ruin the game being able to build straight up a 90 degree hill.

== Extended Constants ==


== The Forbidden Constants ==
The extended constants (described by [[Brandan]] as "Forbidden Constants") were first discovered in the [[Populous: The Beginning]] binary and in the memory while the game is running by [[Xandra]] and [[Brandan]] in June 2012. The constants allow the user to control more aspects of the game such as changing how many units can build a building and what objects trees can be. The Forbidden Constants are vastly unknown, Populous players are still trying to figure out what exactly does each value do, and it will take some time to fully understand the new constant values.

Eagle trees after editing Forbidden Constants

A constant is a value of the "constant.dat" file in the levels folder of Populous: The Beginning that controls the game's mathematical operations and values. The list of the decrypted constants was released by TedTycoon and has most of the games values such as tree grow rates, wood requirements, charge rates, mana requirements, and even how fast braves can spawn in a single hut. Other constants not found in the constant.dat file were found by Xandra and Brandan control many other aspects of the game's operations such as how many braves can build a hut at a time and even what model is used by trees. An example is changing the tree's constant value to 3000 will make the trees appear as Eagles instead of trees. The text name of all constants begins with the string "P3CONST_" followed by the description.

Patching common issues with constants

The constant values can be used in modern day games to fix common issues like path finding issues by changing P3CONST_WALK_ALT_DIFF2 = to 600-900. This will resolve every path finding issue in the game. The same patch could be applied to the games incorrect building height setitng where if theres a small bump it hinders the building from being built, and causing some levels unfair for certain tribes/colors, to fix this change P3CONST_BUILD_ALT_DIFF2 = to 200 - 300. Setting the values too high can result to unrealistic building/walking and could ruin the game being able to build straight up a 90 degree hill.

Any change done to a constant will affect singleplayer and multiplayer regardless of the constant.

Extended Constants

The extended constants (described by Brandan as "Forbidden Constants") were first discovered in the Populous: The Beginning binary and in the memory while the game is running by Xandra and Brandan in June 2012. The constants allow the user to control more aspects of the game such as changing how many units can build a building and what objects trees can be. The Forbidden Constants are vastly unknown, Populous players are still trying to figure out what exactly does each value do, and it will take some time to fully understand the new constant values.
