I want more bases and installations, but how to do it?
« on: July 18, 2010, 03:12:04 pm »
Ok, so let's say i have reached the limit of employees, bases and installations (i have, actually), but i want more! So i plan to raise that limit to let's say X bases, Y installations and Z employees (mostly researchers). So how can i mess with those numbers?

8 bases 16 installations, and so? Only by changing the code at several places.

I give up. I can't find anything in those files except weapons (modded assault rifle, rpg ammo mod not available), building cost and so. Please just tell me. I can't take anymore searching.

*Source code*, not data files.  For instance, there's a MAX_BASES constant that's set to 8.   You'd have to change the source and recompile.

And you'd also have to make sure that the UI matched.  On screens with a 4x2 base-selection widget, for instance, you'd probably want to add scrollbars or pagination or the like if the code didn't automatically do that for you.

And I'm not sure why you'd bother (with the bases, anyway), because it seems unlikely that you could actually afford to have more than eight unless you have so few buildings and employees in them that you could actually make do with eight.

I'm lame with source code, maybe you could help me using teamviewer? I would PM you the password to my pc. Or remote assistance if possible... Or simply post to youtube if you can.

What file holds base/installation data?

Found it: it was under ..\src\client\campaign and the file is bases.h or something like that.
