xxxaint Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Make the psi-lab into a psi training school instead of a ten day testing session. Every soldier added to the psi-lab will produce gifted soldiers. Also how are you making mods without an editor? I'd love to make this mod myself but I wouldn't know where to start.

Beknatok Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Go to Mod Talk -> Finding the First Step. In the interim, you can change the Soldier template in DefaultGameCore.ini (embedded in the EXE). (iType=eChar_Soldier,HP=5,Offense=65,Defense=0,Mobility=12,SightRadius=27,Will=40,Psionics=30,CritHitChance=0,CritWoundChance=0,FlightFuel=0,Reaction=0,ABILITIES[0]=eAbility_TakeCover,ABILITIES[1]=eAbility_NONE,ABILITIES[2]=eAbility_NONE,ABILITIES[3]=eAbility_NONE,ABILITIES[4]=eAbility_NONE,ABILITIES[5]=eAbility_NONE,ABILITIES[6]=eAbility_NONE,ABILITIES[7]=eAbility_NONE,Properties[0]=eCP_CanGainXP,Properties[1]=eCP_None,Properties[2]=eCP_None,Properties[3]=eCP_None,Properties[4]=eCP_None,Properties[5]=eCP_None,bCanUse_eTraversal_Normal=True,bCanUse_eTraversal_ClimbOver=True,bCanUse_eTraversal_ClimbOnto=True,bCanUse_eTraversal_ClimbLadder=True,bCanUse_eTraversal_DropDown=True,bCanUse_eTraversal_Grapple=True,bCanUse_eTraversal_Landing=True,bCanUse_eTraversal_BreakWindow=True,bCanUse_eTraversal_KickDoor=True,bCanUse_eTraversal_JumpUp=False,bCanUse_eTraversal_WallClimb=False,bCanUse_eTraversal_BreakWall=False,eClass=eSC_None,bHasPsiGift=False) Change the final clause to True & start a new game/hire new soldiers.

xxxaint Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 Thanks for pointing me to the right direction. Will this change give psi to everyone or just to everyone you add on the psi-labs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxxaint Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 Okay, I've managed to do this but is "start a new game/hire new soldiers" necessary? I think I've editted the .ini file properly but I'm still not getting proper results. Do I really have to start a new game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've editted the .ini file properly but I'm still not getting proper results. Do I really have to start a new game? The ini settings are only referenced when "new" soldiers are generated. Once soldiers are generated, then they "exist" as separate entities within your save game file. Think of the .ini settings like a cookie cutter... your existing soldiers were already cut with the previous cookie cutter/settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxxaint Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 I'm going to try a new game then. If I screwed anything up, this may be an awful waste of time. Thanks Beknatok! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ichthyic Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 there is another way if you already have a game started! instead of changing the character lines, look for these lines: PSI_GIFT_CHANCE=2 PSI_TEST_LIMIT=4 PSI_TRAINING_HOURS=24 PSI_NUM_TRAINING_SLOTS=4 and change those. setting psi_gift_chance to 1 will pretty much guarantee your soldiers test positive (has about a 1% chance to fail) you can set the training hours lower (notice I already have) to speed up the process, and even add another slot to your training facility (any more get cut off by the display window). thus, your soldiers won't start with psi, but they WILL get it once you get to the point where you can build the psi facility.

xxxaint Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 Nice one Toejam... testing it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxxaint Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 Alright... thanks for that mate. I did some changes though: PSI_GIFT_CHANCE=0.1 <<<< gives 100% psi chance (1 just isn't enough for 100%)PSI_TEST_LIMIT=5 <<<< left at default (played around with the value, no idea what it does)PSI_TRAINING_HOURS=240 <<<< left at default for the sake of RP PSI_NUM_TRAINING_SLOTS=3 <<<< increasing this to anything higher than 3 presents UI problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"left at default for the sake of RP" LOL btw, I went ahead and made a mod of it, with various values, and posted it on the mod site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
