Yes, that's right, 0x13 is being used for buildings too. IIRC, 0x13 is meant for "human-made" stuff but if we want to differentiate buildings from plazas then I think we're back to using 0x17 (parks) which is fine by me. What do you think?
I guess parks is better than buildings, because in many cases, a plaza is either surrounded by buildings (such as St. Peter's Square in Vatican City), or there is a building in the middle of the plaza (such as the Louvre's Pyramid). In these cases, the plaza would be indistinguishable from the buildings.
Tweekers can still modify the style file and customize a TYP file to their liking (as I have done), but I think 0x17 is the most sensible default.
Sounds good. A patch to change the default for plazas to 0x17 is attached.
