Adding Techs and Editing the Space Crystal to the Borg

Postby GeorgiaBoy4 » Sat Jan 22, 2011 8:11 pm

Longtime Lurker Here...

I keep trying to find a better replacement for MoO 2, but none seem to quite have the same fit. So, I did a search and here I am. Reading through the forum, it appears there is a tool to edit techs and move them around, but can I add techs from MoO 3 (to the 255 limit) without hex knowledge? If so, how would I do this?

Also, I wanted to edit the Space Crystal to make it like the Borg. Instead of attacking 4 colonies, it keeps attacking and using its 'computer control' or 'assimilation' if you will. I would like to strengthen the Crystal to Borg strength. Furthermore, I would like replace the space crystal graphic with a Borg cube.

Finally, is if left unchecked, another cube could spawn Is this within reason/current modding knowledge?

Thanks for your time and the great work!

you wont be able to add new techs,as far as i know the space crystal is all about the ai,currently the ai is not editable(may be wrong but i dont think so)

Have a great day

Thanks, Nirran. Maybe MoO 3 then. It would be nice if MoO 1 and 2 were moddable...

So, new techs are out then? OK. Would I be able to replace the Space Crystal image with a Borg cube, add more hitpoints and a stronger attack?

Many Thanks, Nirran.

One can edit pictures by means of Picture Editor, part of the MoO2 Workshop package: http://www.speedyshare.com/files/26476069/wsh05.zip
