qmjs Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 There are only three values used by each. SimBaseDanger="0.0"SimBaseDanger="10"SimBaseDanger="50"SimBaseDifficulty="0.0"SimBaseDifficulty="100"SimBaseDifficulty="50" Difficulty 100 are infestation missions, presumably hard because of the numbers of zombies that should be present.Difficulty 0 are missions generally without any zombie-killing goals.Most are 50, the default. Similar reasoning applies to the danger field, 0 being essentially no added danger, 50 being standard. The single incidence of SimBaseDanger="10" appears to be a mistake. I don't know if the simulation specifically looks for those values, or if altering them would change the results. If it looks for specific values, I would expect that others would be unused and would end up as the default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pasmon79 Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 (edited) In the survey-point mission, there is a setting similar to diversion request(OptTimeout). Was it present in the old SOD or just a case of copy-paste code? Edited May 1, 2020 by pasmon79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qmjs Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 (edited) That is the standard timeout action. <MissionEvent Id="OpTimeout"> <Action ActionFlags="" ActionId="AbortSurvey" Remember, ActionIDs themselves are just labels, and don't affect the activity itself. They could be anything, and are mainly just organizational so the programmer can find things. Edited May 1, 2020 by qmjs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pasmon79 Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 Is the survey mission in YOSE version identical to the one in original version or different? Note that the "<ActionID=Reward"(OPtTimeout) in "survey mission" is identical to that of "Diversion Request". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qmjs Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 No idea, I haven't unpacked the original since 2015. Many of the missions use identical modules for some parts. It is likely that one mission was used as a template for coding the others, rather than repeat all of the work for each mission. A few have renamed actionids, likely for the purpose of finding them easily, as noted before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pasmon79 Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) As a programmer I feel that survey mission is totally useless, brings your character in unnecessary danger when you can survey at the place of your suitability.

qmjs Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Perhaps, but otherwise it basically removes surveying from the game. The map is always the same, so there really isn't any reason to survey anything after ou have played the game once or twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pasmon79 Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) A survey helps to plan safest route towards a marked location avoiding ferals, juggernauts or hordes. This is the beauty of this game, same map can be used several times for different style and no matter how perfect oneâs valuable character can be lost to an unpredictable mix of hordes/freaks.

pasmon79 Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) Does the "Find" in "Infestation Actor Flag" discovers a pre-made infestation or spawns it ? Edited May 3, 2020 by pasmon79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
