hakimio Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) People who played Silent Storm games should know that soldiers waiting to be hired automatically gain experience throughout the game time. As a result, when one of your soldiers dies you can hire a new soldier to replace him who is not a complete rookie and can actually be useful. This is not the case in Xenonauts. Here you can only hire soldiers with no experience at all. Imho, it's a big problem, because if some of your experienced soldiers dies it's a huge loss. I would like to make a mod which increases stats of those soldiers throughout the game time. At the time battleships start appearing all the soldiers which can be hired should have +40 skill points added to all their random skill values (capping at 100 points), they should all be captains and have three medals. The extra skill points should be calculated using a formula which could look like this: ceil(40 * current_time / total_time). Also their price should double by the end of the game. Can something like that be done in vanilla game or community edition? If yes, maybe you could give some pointers describing how it could be done?

kabill Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Not possible without tinkering with the game code (can't give any pointers on that; not a programmer). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakimio Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) Not possible without tinkering with the game code (can't give any pointers on that; not a programmer). By tinkering game code you mean writing some lua script or modifying game executable? How do community edition developers get low level access to the game? I guess they are not playing with assembler or byte code, are they? Edited January 18, 2015 by hakimio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
