XCOM EU Changing the numbers of abductions

[Overkil257]

So far I have tried several mods to change the number of abductions that appear from 3 to 1 but none seem to be working. Here is the most recent one I found, any help in getting it working would be appreciated.

 

MOD_NAME=Custom Number of Abduction Sites
AUTHOR=Drakous79
DESCRIPTION=Sets number of abduction sites to specified value.


Enemy Within Installation
-------------------------
* Start PatcherGUI.
* Click the 1st Browse button and navigate to <Steam install path>\XCom-Enemy-Unknown\XEW and confirm.
* Click the 2nd Browse button and select this mod's file or copy paste entire code into PatcherGUI (to the biggest textarea) and use Save as... button. The best is to place the file into PatcherGUI\Mods\ folder.
* Click Apply button.
* Run the game and enjoy.

Enemy Unknown Installation
--------------------------
* Start PatcherGUI.
* Click the 1st Browse button and navigate to <Steam install path>\XCom-Enemy-Unknown and confirm.
* Click the 2nd Browse button and select this mod's file or copy paste entire code into PatcherGUI (to the biggest textarea) and use Save as... button. The best is to place the file into PatcherGUI\Mods\ folder.
* Click Apply button.
* Click XSHAPE button to update XComStrategyGame.upk hash.
* Run the game and enjoy.

Uninstallation
--------------
* Simply change the number to 3 and install the mod again.
* Or click Show log button, choose the mod, click Load uninstaller button and then Apply button. Don't forget XSHAPE for Enemy Unknown!
* Or wipe all mods with Steam's feature Verify Integrity of Game Cache, that can be found in Library / XCOM: Enemy Unknown / Properties / Local Files.

This is what the LongWar mod does... so you might find help if you try contacting someone in their dev team (Amineri, JL, etc) directly.

 

Strangely i'd like to do the exact opposite in LW -- returning those three Abduction sites just as they were in EW! There's a matter of proper panic balance if two sites aren't responded to... but the most important reason for me is that the variety of offered rewards give us cool options to select from. I would even settle for the three locations to be the same if that's what it takes.

 

Oh-well, maybe we'll both figure out how -- with some help. ;)
