Intel project

PS: I checked alreay the tutorial from Fyron, but could not find such information.

Really? I thought I had mentioned that? Guess I might have some fixing to do...

Unfortunately, you never have any control over what the level of plagues do. The effect amount for a plague event/project is the level of the plague.

I suggest you check out mods like Eye Candy Mod (which includes the Dracus Event Mod IIRC), on the Gold CD, and Adamant Mod (just get the Data Version, as it is much smaller, and you only need the data files to check it out), which both add a lot of events to the game (and intel projects in Adamant), for more examples to see how they work.

Thanks

You see, it's very temptative to check out these mods Intel files, but I'm afraid it would shut down my own ideas, so I rather first have draft of my goals, and then eventually check Adamant to see how to better realize it.

If you can think of anything that needs more clarification in the modding tutorial, feel free to make suggestions.

Well... added some info you might find handy to the Events and Intel Projects chapters.

Thanks, I sure will.

For example, I may like to have, although now I think I got most of them already, teh meaning of every damage type for weapons are not described. Like "this skip shield and aromr and kill component with boarding defense, but not crew quarter" and the like. And what the damage value means for all type (like for plague to precise it is normal damage...).

It would make the great tutorial even greater (although this starts to be difficult, as it almost reaches the top already! )

Well, you get the descriptions for abilities in chapter 16... but I will work on it. Of course, I do not know off-hand how every single damage type works (other than what the name indicates ).

[StarBaseSweeper]

Well I see the chapter 16 like a mine full of gold, of course!
Just that when a chapter is so incredibly great (hop lots of compliments ) it's disappointing to see no description for damage type, as they are not trivial at all.

But considering the hell it must have been to create this page, I won't blame you for letting out such details.

But considering the hell it must have been to create this page, maybe a few more hours to complete the description of damage type, that I guess you must know very well in order to mod Adamant, would be a plus
