Tech-Grid-Mod

[tesco samoa]

Hello Everyone. The Official Tech-Grid-Mod thread.

Mac and myself have begun the work on this mod.

It is as it sounds. A tech grid mod

Here is an example of how a item will look like in the upcoming pbw mod.

Name := Cruiser
Short Name := Cruiser
Description :=
Code := CR
Primary Bitmap Name := Cruiser
Alternate Bitmap Name := Cruiser
Vehicle Type := Ship
Tonnage := 500
Cost Minerals := 500
Cost Organics := 0
Cost Radioactives := 0
Engines Per Move := 1
Number of Tech Req := 1
Tech Area Req 1 := Ship Construction
Tech Level Req 1 := 5
Tech Area Req 2 := Industry
Tech Level Req 2 := 6
Tech Area Req 3 := Construction
Tech Level Req 3 := 6
Tech Area Req 4 := Space Yards
Tech Level Req 4 := 2
Number of Abilities := 0

More to come. And Updates will be posted here.

I am assuming by Tech-Grid-Mod, you mean that items will require various levels in a variety of tech areas rather than one or two as is normal with SE:IV? At least it looks that way from your example.

I would assume that since that's what he's been talking about making for weeks in the IRC channel, that is what he means.

Umm, not to be picky, but:
Number of Tech Req := 1

should be:
Number of Tech Req := 4

I think, anyway....

I had been toying with this idea myself for a while now. I would be willing to help out a little, if you like. I don't have much time to give, and no experience. But every little bit helps, right?

It should be that, yes. But Tesco has some hidden plan that we don't know of yet.
