Chances are by turn 100 your going to be so far ahead of the AI that checking your score will become pointless.

Can I get an AMEN! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

Re: Random Events Mod?

AMEN!!! Yes, I know but still, I always turn the score checking thing off, I dont want to know how far behind they are, I just want to know who's in what place, AFAIK it gives a breakdown of the scores.

Re: Random Events Mod?

Yeah, that's why I mentioned MoO2's 'Galactic News'. It basically came with a report every 15-20 turns about who had the strongest military might or technology, etc. And then, when for instance a space monster spawned, that too would appear in the news.

I've not looked into that part of the files yet, but is it actually possible to mod in for instance a 'space monster' or 'pirates' event that spawns a pre-designed ship/fleet ?

That would be completely neat.

Yeah, it would.

Is there really a point to bumping a thread that's only 8 hours old? It was still on the first page...

Shleepy:
It is much the same as modding the AI, using the same scripting language (though different functions). Any of the threads on AI modding might, in a roundabout way, shed light on event and intel scripting too. What specifically are you having trouble with?

No particular problems...I've barely even done more than think about it. I was just curious to see if someone else had already done this sort of thing to avoid reinventing the wheel. I have so many "real life" issues to deal with right now that playing games is somewhat low on my to do list...so mostly i'm just jotting down ideas for later. It also doesn't help that I come across a new idea to consider every time I visit these SE message boards...just can't keep up! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif I will make sure to re-read the modding forum before getting too involved (that's where most of the real juicy meats are anywayz...hehe). Thanks.
