System Upgrades

[Xen0n]

I have a simple question for those who know more of modding than me. I wanted to add more upgrades to the Hacking and Mind Control systems but I can't figure out how to specify what those upgrades do. For example, 4 bars in Hacking will hack for 0s but 5 will go for 255s. 8 in Mind Control will go forever even when the guy dies. If it is possible, I would love to know how to do this.

I think they're under blueprints.xml and dlcblueprints.xml (or something along those lines)
If you can't find them, use an unpacker on the data.dat file.

You take the systems you want to upgrade, put them into a new document and save it as blueprints.xml.append

I've already done that, I just wanted to change what the upgrades do. For example, how would I make the hack last 15s for level 4?

Not possible, sorry.

Yeah, extra upgrades don't work with the AE systems. There is no way to tell the game what each level does. All that is "hardcoded".
