John DiFool Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 I am thinking specifically of the kind of file the Civ games have: they allow you to tweak (using a simple text editor) various parameters, such as unit stats, plus many other things (in SC, I would change sub evasion from 25% +5% per level of tech to 30% +8%-which would make those Type XXIs real hard to kill (as it should be). To prevent cheating these values are locked in once a game starts. So how about it Hubert? John DiFool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straha Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Great idea, I would love to tamper with these things, too. Though if I had to choose, I would first want a more powerful scenario editor allowing me to setup the initial forces of the countries not at war.

Amen to that. Of all the possible changes in a patch or SC-II, this would be my #1 choice. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pzgndr Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Ditto. I was pushing hard for this also until we were all rudely interrupted by the hacker who shall remain nameless. Some way to legally edit game parameters, not executable source code, would be outstanding. A separate file which could be modified with a simple text editor would be fine. Or some other editor program would be nice. And further down the road, a map editor would be nice to have also. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 Sorry guys, but this won't be happening any time soon, still a lot to get done, and no easy way to implement this right now with my current design and maintain game security between TCP/IP and PBEM opponents. Maybe some time in the future but most likely not for this game. Hubert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
