Module editing (is it possible?)
« on: July 11, 2005, 05:57:36 pm »

Pardon my n00bness, but is there anyway you can edit modules like shiva furnaces. Because i would only want to put in one shiva furnace and get a huge amount of energy. Is there any way to do this?

If you can compile the game from source, making the shiva furnace give you lots of energy is very simple. But then again, if you're modifying the source, you could do without shiva furnaces altogether.

Well, in src/sc2code/ships/sis_ship.c the line

Code:

#define ENERGY_REGENERATION 1

Change that to a lot, and you won't have to worry about energy anymore.

The file is in the source code, and you would need to build the game from those sources, which is far from trivial for someone with no prior experience.
And I'm afraid I don't have the time to explain all that.

If you're on windows, just give up; MS didn't make compiling stuff easy or cheap (you can get kind of easy and moderately expensive, or freaking hard and free).

Otherwise, it's not so bad. Tell us your platform and we're in business.

If you're wanting to go the "free but not easy" route, have a look here and here. This is most decidedly NOT a point-and-click solution, but the last time I tried it (a LONG time ago) it worked great. Once you get your own private build of the game working, you can start fidgeting with it to your heart's content. The trick (on Windows systems, anyways) is getting to that point. Hell, you might even learn a thing or two from the experience.

Good luck!

First, you'd need a development environment. I doubt you have Microsoft Dev Studio, so I suggest you download and install MinGW instead, to start with.
