Mod Ideas

[ReCo]

hi!

 

is it possible to do? :

 

1. increase the number of base raids? like ufo raiding your bases every 2-3 days?

2. make the buildings stronger so they dont collapse after one or two missles?

3. add some new weapons?

4. add some new aliens? (with the description in ufopedia)

5. changing the existing races (graphic, stats and sound)

6. making road vehicles viable? -> any suggestions how to do it?

7. change the organisation infiltration by aliens (ufo do not have to "land" to start infiltration, so you dont know which buildings were "attacked" and you have to search all map to find the aliens)

8. make new megapol city map?

9. change the number of weapon/equipment slots owned by vehicles?

10. make the aliens use MC more often?

11. make more "gang airwars" and such?

12. increase the amount of cash needed for bribes? (so it wont be easy to have all the organisations "neutral")

13. slow down the alien crafts and make them much more strong

14. make more "new items" offered by MarSec or Megapol (like some new ultra-machine-gun that appears in stores after 6 weeks of gameplay)

15. make some "upgrades" that changes the weapons after some time. like: in the 4th week marsec machine gun ammo capacity is increased by 10 ?

16. increase the number of enemies that spawns in missions?

17. making the organisations more usefull, like: hostile sanctuary clinic makes your soldiers unable to heal wounds and allied clinic makes them recover faster)

 

there will be some more questions later

Most of those aren't really possible, but check out the Roadwar mod, which makes road vehicles useful by toughening up the roads so that they don't get destroyed so easily.

 

As for increasing alien spawned in battle: Apocutil is the answer. Check out the attempts at the 250% alien games that are discussed on these forums. Mind you, this does change battle somewhat, and cuts into the space allocated for some aliens, so you may not see some aliens all that often like Megaspawn, as all the space will be taken up by other aliens like Anthropods and Skeletoids.

 

As for your buildings: The warehouses are quite durable, but have less building space. The slums on the other hand offer plenty of room, but they fall to bits by minor dings to the exterior. That's just part of the fun.

I have a question about editing Ufopedia - is it possible to alter ufopedia descriptions?

[NRN_R_Sumo1]

Me and J'ordos among others have tried to make more weapons into the game, by editing the more useless items, such as psiclones. xD

It doesnt work very well I must say, unless J'ordos managed to make his Apoc'd program able to mess around with items non-stop.

 

Otherwise these new guns and missles we've been trying out seem to do nothing more than

A: Crash the game

B: Dissapear after shot

or C: Screw up other weapons.

 

With Apoc'd you can change resistances to differant things for each one of the races, so that you could cause your Mutants to be immune to everything :O!

Scary I know.

Adding some new aliens-- now Im sorry but that one is Impossible at this time, as we dont have the source code and probably never will.. xD!

 

With Apoc'd if you know what you are doing, you can change all building resistances to become much stronger, but that would ruin the realism, as alot of these buildings in RL WOULD die from 1 or 2 missles.

 

8, J'ordos has already made a Megapol map, where you play as the police.

9, Thats Apoc'd again, I reccomend you dont go thinking you can have a hay day with it now, be serious about it xD!

10, cant be done I dont think o.o..

11, Just make more people angry using midnight, and you'll be annoyed by those pheonix hover cars for sure!

12, Move up to "super human" as the cash bribes are silly on all other levels x;

13, edit vehicle stats using Apoc'd-- You can change their speeds and add health, even make thier armour stronger.

15, an interesting concept. but you'd have to do this yourself Im fairly sure ]:

16, Apocutil, just follow the instructions from someone else, as Ive never gotten it to work xD

17, This was going to be in the game, but when it was released they quickly scrapped that as it was unfinished.
