How To Use Apocutil

Have you by any chance read the documentation that comes with it? And if you have, what are the difficulties you are having with it?

 

Also: Keep in mind that Apocutil is not as robust or as powerful as XComutil, so don't expect too much from it.

Vehicle armour? Vehicles don't have armour you can add on - it's all built into the vehicles. I take it you mean the small and large disrupter shields.

 

I've had a look at the Apocutil documentation, and it doesn't appear that it can add specific research items. However, the following switch might be of interest:

 

RESEARCH:xxx = Change the Research Tree that controls the order in which

      technology is researched.  RESEARCH may be abbreviated as RES.

 

      RES:ALT redefines the Research Tree the way I like it.  It eliminates

      some of the bottlenecks found in the original Research Tree by allowing

      research paths to key items.

 

      RES:ANY makes it possible to research any item at any time by

      eliminating all prerequisites.  It also eliminates the need for advanced

      research labs except for faster research.  WARNING:  You may encounter

      problems if you research the alien buildings in the wrong order, so be

      careful.

 

      RES:FREE reduces all research time to one hour and all points to 1.

      This flag can be used with any Research Tree, since it does not modify

      any of the paths, but simply makes research faster.  The points earned

      were reduced to avoid massive retaliation by the aliens in response to

      an artificially high score.

 

To run it, you'd have to run the following line in a command console window while in the Apocalypse directory:

 

APOCUTIL RES:ANY WRITE

 

Under normal circumstances, all you'd need to do is capture a ship with a small disrupter shield and you'll get one for research. An easier option may be to find an editor that allows you to edit the stores and a few shields.
