Intelligence Projects |
Anyone know of any way to make the intel projects a bit more specific? That is, Right now they're clumped together with random actions on a successful intel 'chance' against a given empire. I'd love to mod the intel to be a bit more specific- so instead of colonies defecting randomly if you have the sabotage it's lumped in with, one could target that specifically- or research sabotage, or intel sabotage, resources, etc.
I feel they're too general right now, and it's more 'Pot Luck'- you never know exactly what you're going to get! Or even teh same thing 2 or 3 times!
I see some of the projects in the intel.txt files in Data, but some of the info (my hunch) is hard coded. What can be changed?
Suggestions?

But then for balance sake, make it LESS efficient (and for lore sake too: if you say to your spies: "Harm that alien scum as hard as you can", then they can go for every oportunity, if you say them: "Acquire some techs from that alien scum", then they must skip oportunity to bribe bad payed ship captain and must go for techs).
Re: Intelligence Projects
Well, things like "leaky intel defence" and such have already been implemented, e.g. in BM (and I think in GidMod too). Question is whether we can separate the intel projects into more specific roles - under what conditions they are considered successful is something we're experienced in modding.

Re: Intelligence Projects
OK- So I looked a bit further into the INT:
Good news is that I see on the main Intel script where everything is listed and how it kinda fits together.
The bad news is that I have NO idea as to what I'm really looking at, even with the compiler MM provided. there are lots of things I'm a bit reluctant to do since my programming skills, with what looks like C, are rudimentary at best. Not saying I won't take a crack at it, (after backing up the files 
) only that it will take me MUCH longer than simply editing the txt files like if one were to add components etc as I had hoped.

Re: Intelligence Projects
Yes, would it be that hard to, maybe not to be bleto choose specific targets, but at least separate all the intel projects?
