planet bonuses

March 20, 2010 9:28:12 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums

Does anyone know how to mod the planet bonuses? Here are the bonus tiles I want to have:

Manufacturing Bonus 50%, 100%, 200%, 300%, 500% (place where a factory should be built)

Research Bonus 50%, 100%, 200%, 300%, 500% (place where a laboratory should be built)

Morale Bonus 50%, 100%, 200%, 300% (place where a morale building should be built)

Food Bonus 50%, 100%, 200%, 300% (place where a farm should be built)

Influence Bonus 50%, 100%, 200% (place where an embassy should be built)

Economy Bonus 50%, 100%, 200% (place where a market should be built)

I think the 700% bonuses are too much and that there are not enough values in between what already exists. For the moment, I am thinking the odds should be about as follows:

50% 1 out of 2 planets, 100% 1 out of 5 planets, 200% 1 out of 10 planets, 300% 1 out of 20 planets, 500% 1 out of 50 planets.

For reference, here is what exists now:

Manufacturing Bonus 100%, 300%, 700%

Research Bonus 100%, 300%, 700%

Morale Bonus 100%

Food Bonus 100%, 300%

Influence Bonus 100%

no Economy Bonus tiles

They are hardcoded and can not be modded.

Quoting Moosetek13,

That just makes it much harder and in need of being redone with each new update. Not impossible.

The .exe can not legally be modified, so you should probably just drop the subject.

I've heard of a way you can legally do it using a hex editor and the game save files..... lemme do some digging.

That method lets you add bonus tiles to particular planets, but not change their values or add new types.

I have most of the artwork for these new tiles ready. I just need to find the code where the existing ones are and figure out how it works. I presume I have to do something with the AI as well to make it know how to use the new tiles. I have very little experience with this sort of thing so I may not even be able to do it.
