[release] The Long Game

[Sonsalt]

Here is my first version of my long term game mod.

The changes are pretty simple. I've increased the research time for everything by 100%

This is a mod for everybody who wishes to enjoy his inventions, instead of rushing through the tectree.

Soon I will add other versions, that will increase the research time by 200% and even 400%

Have fun

Update

To make the mod easier I changed the functions instead of the unit stats.

The Research points for the research center as well as the upgrades have been reduced from 14 to 6
Also I have increased the Power of the Power generator from 55 to 75, to give you some advantage at the beginning, since the upgrades take longer now.
And you should really start with researching your first weapon, since it takes some time



Intallation:
Get the latest version of Warzone here:index.php?topic=718.15
Simply replace the mp.wz file with the new one (make a backup)

else
download the functions.txt and copy it into the mp.wz/stats folder
and the research.txt and copy it into the mp.wz/stats/research/multiplayer folder

I've also added a version for Warzone 2100 2.0.7


Things to come

Next I will increase the effect of veteran units.

Stay tuned

Can you make a .wz MOD out of it? There's a new Wiki page which will list all MODs currently supported by Warzone.

Here's a little MOD guide.
If you have difficulties making a MOD just ask.

BTW feel free to edit information about your MOD on the wiki page, you can use your forum account to login.

I changed the title to make it a bit more understandable.

[Sonsalt]

Sonsalt, maybe you can keep it up 2 date there too.

You could save yourself a lot of work, if you would just change one value in functions.txt.

When you are on the research-screen you can see a yellow bar on those research facilities. If you add a research module or research better synaptic link-tech you will see the bar getting longer. The size of the bar reflects your "research power".

Updates on the research power work with percent, so when you just use the half value for the research facility's research power, you also add +100% research time to everything. Plus, people that do research-mods can combine your mod with their research-mod.

If you want/need further help on this topic, tell me, I am glad to help you.

[Sonsalt]

Thanks this truly is much more simple than changing each unit stats.

Intallation:
Simply put the research.txt in the mp.wz/stats/research/multiplayer file. (make a backup if you like)

Kreuvf thanks for your offering, I could actually need your help finding the veteran modifier stats.

Any Idea ?

[Terminator]

It still dont work.

[Sonsalt]

You'll need to get the latest Version.revision 2365.

here is the link :http://download.gna.org/warzone/snapsho ... -r2365.exe

Else I've added the modified Textfiles above.

[Terminator]

I recommend you to make a MODS for stable versons...like 2.0.7.

[Kreuvf]

Kreuvf thanks for your offering, I could actually need your help finding the veteran modifier stats.

Any Idea ?

Afaik you cannot change these values with a mod, you have to change the source-code in order to modify the stats for the ranks. ;_;

[Sonsalt]

Thanks I will look into it.

Terminator I've also added a 2.0.7 version of my mod
