I can't seem to find some of the "Extend" references in these files... i've looked through a lot of the cooked upks.. anybody find any other relevant UPKs other than xcomgame and xcomstrategygame?

 

There are most definitely other UPKs that have "base engine" information. Look under Dependencies for hints as to what they might be called, then you'll have to dig around the file system to try and locate the UPKs.

relevant for what ?

they are all relevant to some extend +g+

 

Relevant to hardcoded game variables... I mean other than animations and such.

WTF... Why is all this stuff intentionally packed away where it's a *censored* to get at?

 

There must have been an option to let all these plaintext files be loose, but instead they chose to have them packed in upk files. Why??

For the uninitiated, go to the Objects tab. From there, you'll have to find Classes related to what you are interested in.

 

As a newbie to UE Editor (I presume you meant ultraedit), how do you access the objects tab? At the moment, all I can do is view the whole file as one long hex document.

Doh. Now I feel utterly stupid. On the flip side, now that I can explore the file, I think I may be able to figure out a few things on how to edit the upk itself....

 

Damnit.

 

Ok, I've figured out how to edit the uncompressed UPK itself with hex editting, comparing the extracted .CLASS files, matching their hex values with the ones in the UPK and then making the changes there using UltraEdit. The problem is that the game requires the compressed UPK to run, and won't work with the uncompressed one. Is there anyway to re-compress the UPK?
