Kodor Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Hey all, I'm having some brainstorming on some possible uses for the corruption system. Can anyone enlighten me on the files I need to look at to edit the corruption system? Can the empire, rebels, other factions be given access to corruption missions and can the missions be customized? I've got some great ideas and if I can get them done It would make a nice minimod. BTW are there any mods out there using customizations to the corruption system? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 eh. good idea. The basics for the corruption data is in planets.xml To make a custom one you'll have to create new text entries and/or a new map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1upD Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 You can, but there is only one system of corruption. You'll have to make the corruption missions generich so that all the factions you want to use them will be ok doing the actual missions. Plus, you can't have one faction's corruption and another faction's corruption, there's just corruption. It would be best to just leave Zann with Corruption, or maybe give a new faction corruption.

Kodor Posted June 10, 2007 Author Share Posted June 10, 2007 I still need to do some experimenting with it, but what file do I use to edit the Corruption mission types? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1upD Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 You don't. You can change the name, icon, and description of a corruption type, as well as modify it's existing parameters, but you can't make entirely new corruptions types or totally remove old ones.

Kodor Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 So be it, I was hoping to have two forms of corruption competing with each other but I guess a single corruption system can be a tool for either faction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaders_Legion Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I was wondering if you can make a faction impervious to corurption. If so, how would i go about doing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1upD Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 What do you mean? I think I know... You're trying to bypass the Corruption mission glitch, aren't you? I succeeded. You've got to make the faction a 'corrupt' faction. Paste the corruption lines from the ZC data in your faction's data. They will corrupt any planet they conquer.

vaders_Legion Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 no, i mean that the faction cannot be corrupted or sabatogued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1upD Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 That would only work if you made them a corrupt faction. Sorry.

Kodor Posted June 13, 2007 Author Share Posted June 13, 2007 Ok, so you can't have different types of corruption or edit the corruption types or even make a faction immune to corruption. I have two remaining ponderings. Where is the code for the Defiler? and How is Corruption removal controlled? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodor Posted June 13, 2007 Author Share Posted June 13, 2007 Oh, and waaayyy off topic, but were are the graphic files for selection and highlight blob materials? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodor Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 I don't think it deserves its own thread but does anyone know where I would find the Highlight_Empire_Hero graphic. I want to add a custom graphic for a new unit. I couldn't find it in the MTD or the textures folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodor Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 No worries and yes, verry off topic. I was at work and am a little eager to get these units done. I found it. For anyone searching the forums a file called blobmaterials.xml, or something similer, defines all the selection and highlight materials. That's where the .tga files used in each are listed. Thanks for the post though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commander_cody Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I really hate corruption but pretty much the only way to customize it is to get the FOC map editor, extract the maps, and edit them. i did that and it worked just fine. *Beta Tester*XML & Master Text File Coder*Icon Maker & Editer*MapperMy hosted site: http://hosted.filefront.com/DrkSbr22My email: dark_sabre22@yahoo.comMy Filefront Forums user name: DrkSbr22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1upD Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 What? You mean the corruption maps? You can change them yes, but try to make a new one and it won't work fine.

Droid803 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 yea, pretty much...well, the actual corrupting thingMany things can be tweaked like how it affects different factions and stuff. Oh, well, you can MAKE a new corruption map work fine...its just that it takes a looooot of LUA to get it to work (more than I understand). Didn't z3r0x make a new one from scratch? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v423/kc1991/droid803sig.jpg"That was fun" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaders_Legion Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 He did make one from scratch. Dont you forget he was a mapper for some game company a few years back so he knows this sort of stuff. Btw, i think i found out how to disable corruption. You take the generic corruption upgrade effects part in factions xml and comment that out. i havent tested it yet thought but try that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Droid803 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Well, yea you can make them immune to effects like racketeering cash and stuff, but you can't make them immune to sabotage. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v423/kc1991/droid803sig.jpg"That was fun" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaders_Legion Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 theoretically yes, theres this line in the empire and rebel factions Generic_Intimidation_Corruption_Upgrade, Generic_Piracy_Corruption_Upgrade, Generic_Kidnapping_Corruption_Upgrade, Generic_Racketeering_Corruption_Upgrade, Generic_Corrupt_Militia_Corruption_Upgrade, Generic_Bribery_Corruption_Upgrade, Generic_Black_Market_Corruption_Upgrade, Generic_Bonded_Citizens_Corruption_Upgrade, Try commenting out the generic stuff and see what that does. I havent tested that yet though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
