You can change the number of civilians by editing /base/campaign.ufo. You may need to decompress your 0ufos.pk3 first.
Note that if you edit your ufo files, you will not be able to play multiplayer anymore.
Hi Zewock,
Not sure if u already figured out what BTAxis meant....
You will need a decompressor.... archiving tool.
The tool we are using here is 7zip (the dos version).
You can get it at:
7Zip DownloadThe batch file used to compress the pk3 files are:
(Extracted from \base\archives.bat)
rem NOTE: This batch file requires you to have the 7-zip command line utility, 7za.exe, in your path.
rem You can get this utility here: http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
rem -r recurse subdirectories. for example, this ensures that 0models.pk3 will contain stuff from "models\aliens" as well as "models".
7za a -tzip 0base.pk3 *.cfg irc_motd.txt -x!".svn"
7za a -r -tzip 0maps.pk3 materials\*.mat maps\*.bsp maps\*.ump -x!".svn"
7za a -r -tzip 0media.pk3 shaders\*.fp shaders\*.vp media\*.ttf -x!".svn"
7za a -r -tzip 0models.pk3 models\*.md2 models\*.md3 models\*.jpg models\*.png models\*.tga models\*.anm models\*.txt models\*.tag -x!".svn"
7za a -r -tzip 0music.pk3 music\*.ogg -x!".svn"
7za a -r -tzip 0pics.pk3 pics\*.jpg pics\*.tga pics\*.png textures\*.jpg textures\*.tga textures\*.png -x!".svn"
7za a -r -tzip 0snd.pk3 sound\*.ogg sound\*.wav -x!".svn"
7za a -r -tzip 0ufos.pk3 ufos\*.ufo -x!".svn"
7za a -r -tzip 0vids.pk3 videos\*.roq -x!".svn"
Hence, the file u will need is simply a reversal of the 7za command.
Where a = archives, e = extract, or u might want to try x for parameter.
For help on 7za,
Usage: 7za <command> [<switches>...] <archive_name> [<file_names>...]
[<@listfiles...>]
<Commands>
a: Add files to archive
b: Benchmark
d: Delete files from archive
e: Extract files from archive (without using directory names)
l: List contents of archive
t: Test integrity of archive
u: Update files to archive
x: eXtract files with full paths
<Switches>
-ai[r[-|0]]{@listfile|!wildcard}: Include archives
-ax[r[-|0]]{@listfile|!wildcard}: eXclude archives
-bd: Disable percentage indicator
-i[r[-|0]]{@listfile|!wildcard}: Include filenames
-m{Parameters}: set compression Method
-o{Directory}: set Output directory
-p{Password}: set Password
-r[-|0]: Recurse subdirectories
-scs{UTF-8 | WIN | DOS}: set charset for list files
-sfx[{name}]: Create SFX archive
-si[{name}]: read data from stdin
-slt: show technical information for l (List) command
-so: write data to stdout
-ssc[-]: set sensitive case mode
-ssw: compress shared files

-v{Size}[b|k|m|g]: Create volumes
-u[-][p#][q#][r#][x#][y#][z#][!newArchiveName]: Update options
-w[{path}]: assign Work directory. Empty path means a temporary directory
-x[r[-|0]]]{@listfile|!wildcard}: eXclude filenames
-y: assume Yes on all queries
You might want to also consider repacking the pk3 files after editing the required files....
