Newbie Coding / Some basic modding questions

« on: August 22, 2011, 12:35:51 am »

Hello, I just got this game (version 2.3.1) the other day, and I've been having a bit of trouble in the campaign and I decided I'd like to do a bit of editing/modding. I'm reasonably fluent in C, but I honestly have no idea what files to look for/in. I read some stuff about .ufo files, but I wasn't able to find any of them. Now, it's entirely possible that I've missed something totally obvious, as I've been rather sleep-deprived lately, but I was hoping someone could give me some pointers as to what I need to do if I'm interested in modifying the following:
-base, production, and purchase costs
-research times
-production times
-weapon accuracy
soldier stats (This one bugs me the most, I think - it seems silly that the soldiers who are presumably elites from around the world are, when recruited, never even 'competent' in any field save for 'mental'.)

Thanks for any advice you can provide.
