Altering soldier stats

[rapsody]

Hello

 

Is there a way to alter soldier stats in an ongoing game for RP purposes? I know save games cant be edited, is there some other way i can accomplish that? Cheats, mods, anything

save files *can* be edited without much ado. pseudocode definition of a single soldier header from a savefile included:

void parseSoldierHeader( void ) {
  parseRecord( "class" );
  parseInt32( "unknown (important!)" );
  parseRecord( "origin" );
  parseRecord( "name/surname" );
  parseRecord( "race" );
  parseInt32( "faceNr" );
  parseRecord( "origin" );
  printf( "\n" );
  parseInt32( "tu" );
  parseInt32( "hp" );
  parseInt32( "str" );
  parseInt32( "acc" );
  parseInt32( "ref" );
  parseInt32( "bra" );
  parseInt32( "base tu" );
  parseInt32( "base hp" );
  parseInt32( "base str" );
  parseInt32( "base acc" );
  parseInt32( "base ref" );
  parseInt32( "base bra" );
  parseInt32( "stat?" );
  parseInt32( "missions1" );
  parseInt32( "missions2" );
  parseInt32( "kills" );
  parseInt32( "stat?" );
  parseInt32( "stat?" );
  parseInt32( "stat?" );
  parseInt32( "stat?" );
  parseInt32( "stat?" );
  parseInt32( "stat?" );
  parseInt32( "unknown" );
  printf( "\n" );
  parseRecord( "regiment" );
  parseRecord( "experience" );
  parseInt32( "unknown" );
  parseRecord( "assigned to" );
  parseInt32( "unknown" );
  parseInt32( "unknown" );
  parseUInt8( "unknown" );
  parseRecord( "role" );
  parseInt32( "unknown" );
  parseUInt8( "unknown" );
  parseRecord( "dead" );
  printf( "\n" );
}

A record consists of int32 n and then n bytes of text data. All major soldier stats are stored as int32, with some offset from the actual game values (-2 in my case, i.e. for 70 stat the stored value was 68); you can easily edit that with XVI32 or any other hex editor. If you figure out the meanings of some of the "unknown" values, feel free to PM me.

Yeah the ones that you identified are pretty much correct. After missions and kills, there are progress towards improving each stat. Don't recall the rest off the top of my head.
