Size Variance, Check all tiles

[Lilbluesmurf]

In the Ambient sets, there are two variables: size_variance, and checkalltiles. Is there anyway to the get the same effects when painting ambients? Or (and I've asked this before but got no answer) is there a way to completely ignore what is already on a tile to allow ambients to be painted anywhere including streets and building lots?

No.

You can set a flag in each ambient xml to allow it to be built on roads:
<CanBeBuiltOnRoads>true</CanBeBuiltOnRoads>

Bummer. At least there is building on roads though, thanks.
