Cryogenically Preserved Precursor Event

I'm having the same problem :notsure:

me too. It sounds sweet though.

~SDC~

I'm impressed with how easy it is to mod material for this game, simple txt files renamed.

~SDC~

It's not a zip file, it's a RAR file with a .ZIP extension. (it's nice extracting under unix where if a file seems corrupt, you can ask the system to guess what type of file it really is :))

Yep that was it, a rar file. Thanks, got it now. It would be helpful if it were displayed as a .rar file.


~SDC~

For an iggit like me, that doesn't help any. How do I get it to work?

~SDC~

This fails for me when I try to unrar it as well. Please re-submit or stardock: check and re-post file.

~SDC~

yeah....i cannot get it to unzip either....any ideas?

Rename the file, changing the .ZIP to .RAR, and then install a recent version of UNRAR (Most of the programs that do several types of compressed file formats don't do the latest RAR format yet).

vernmeister2u, what did you use to uncompress it?

I didn't like this one because it doens't fit the flow. The only choice with a penalty is the neutral one. Good gets a morale bonus and Evil gets a HUGE research bonus, if I'm reading this right.

If I'm reading this correctly, the values are:

Good: +15% morale bonus
Neutral: -1000 bc
Evil: +100% research

Go to www.rarlabs.com and download WinRAR to unrar things. It also supports un-archiving many other filetypes and is better setup then say winace or winzip.

I used a program called ExtractNow... freeware, covers multiple compression schemes, kinda clunky interface though.

~SDC~

since this mod is simply a small text file - can someone cut and paste the code here? (that way i can use the event without having to go through hoops with the loopy extractor)

Title "Cryogenically Preserved Precursor"
Description "During a routine excavation of some rather mundane ruins, the lead archeologists assitant fell through a weak part of the ground, landing in a network of unnatural caverns. Upon retrieval of the assitance, the team began exploring the caves, only to find a large room with many strange devices of obvious alien origin, but also something far more invaluable. A Frozen Precursor! \n \n What should we do?"
Image "Gfx\\FoundCity01.pcx"
EventType 1

GoodOption "This Precursor was probably frozen for a reason, and we should disturb it's slumber. We shall erect a monument atop the cavern to teach others about the Precursor's, and to allow people to see the frozen alien. (%s Morale boost)"
NeutralOption "We'll just cover this up quite nicely, and not tell anybody we found it. (%s bc)"
EvilOption "Wake the bastard up! Who needs a sleeping ancient, when we can exploit it and it's technology for our own gains! (+%s%% Research bonus)"

and not to be a hard-ass but this could use a tiny bit of editing

assistance = assistant
it's = its
(that sort of thing)

but more importantly, when are we going to see a guide online that breaks down the exact values/variables so that we can edit our own events effectively?

Where are you downloading this?

Nevermind...I think I found it in the SUBMIT to Library link.
