[MOD] Cl0wn's fixes and adjustments

Postby StealthCl0wn » Mon Sep 17, 2012 7:47 pm

I made this mod because I wanted to make the game more open, yet harder at the same time, the way a roguelike should be.

So, I opened up the files in data.dat and got to work. Here's what it contains...

Full Changelist:

* Most prices reduced, so you're not entirely screwed over if you get to the only shop in a sector and you're too poor
* All items have a chance to appear in the store
** This also means that finding what you want is going to be incredibly hard. Better pray to the RNG gods
* Buffed a few of the "low level" items so that they're dangerous, but this might get nerfed later
* Due to modified rarity values, enemy ships can spawn with absolutely any weapon in the game
* Crystal weapons, and crystal crew members, are available to buy
* Recruiting people from stores only costs 10 scrap now, we'll justify it by saying that they're obviously SO EAGER to join your crew, they're not in it for the money
* Slug crew are also available to buy
* Because bombs are... well, bombs, they no longer take up missiles.
* All missiles have reduced power use, bar 1 or 2
* Anti-bio beam has been buffed, I think
* Most weapons now have a slightly higher chance for breaching and causing fires. This ups the stakes in combat
* Enemy ships can now spawn with crystal crew members
* For noobs, the artemis launcher on the starting kestrel has been highly buffed. Gets even more buffed in the next update
* A surprise, for those that want to look for it :twisted:


Hope you like the sound of it here's the download;

Some junk edits are still in there, like some systems have a rank that's unreachable (Scrap requirement impossible to obtain), and a few other things. I'll update it tomorrow night.

From memory, it disables the rebel fleet, and *everything* is purchasable at a store. However, everything has the same rarity value, so while you might find a burst laser III in a store, you may also find a basic laser I in Sector 7. You can also acquire crystal and slug crew members in a store too.

HOWEVER, because of rarity values, the game also becomes much harder. You might come across enemies wielding Glaive Beams and Burst Laser III and some heavy ions too. Mix things up a bit, and adds difficulty where it has been removed.

Enjoy, here's the download;

You could extract his files, then use the program WinMerge (it's easy to use) to see the differences between the original files and his.

Use the ftldat file to unpack them, and then repack the files into the data.dat once edited.

Simple really.
