SoulSkorpion Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Hey. I realise this forum is probably dead and the editor almost certainly no longe rbeing updated, but: I notice there's no way to edit the cost of weapons/tanks/magazines/etc in the editor. Any chance of this changing in the future? Failing that, is it known where in the game's files this information is stored? I ask because I'm interested in going back and re-balancing the game's weapons so that each of them are actually useful. The easiest way to do that that I know of is to balance them as raw effectiveness per dollar cost. I can change the raw effectiveness, but so far not the cost.

And while you are at the X-COM wiki, do take a browse around the Game Files page - you are bound to find some of that helpful. - Zombie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's intersting. I wonder where the defaults are stored... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 The default copy is saved in the executable, and when a campaign is started those values are transferred over to your game file into purchase.dat. Basically it is a global file with a local copy. Let me get the offsets for the executable for you. - Zombie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[stewart] Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 How ironic: SoulSkorpion starts out with "I realise this forum is probably dead" and he is answered by a Zombie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
