Is there any way to see the 'coded' effects of the various Sponsors?

[SkyShadowing]

I pretty much want to create an exact copy of the USA except as my own Sponsor for the limited amount of flavor text that such a thing actually affects (the copying of the USA is for balance purposes). But I can't figure out where to see the Game Effects that are applied to the USA, relating to prices, research, additional funding, and such.

Is there any way to see that info?

I'm wondering this too. Trying to copy the effect from IMM that prevents colonists from getting Earthsick. I have no idea where that happens in the code o.o

I can check when I get home from work and look at the Modding Tool if this hasn't been answered by then.

Hi,
in the modding tool are some "copy from" options... in case of the most Commanders there is "just" the "menu bla bla"
but for exaple:

Politician

New Item > new Gamevalue
Cat Gameplay
ID Funding Gains Modifier

PlaceObj('ModItemGameValue', {
'id', "FundingGainsModifier",
'percent', 20,
}),

or the Metal Guy / Water Guy

PlaceObj('ModItemGameValue', {
'id', "IsDeepMetalsExploitable",
'amount', 1,
}),

PlaceObj('ModItemGameValue', {
'id', "IsDeepMetalsExploitable",
'amount', 1,
}),

PlaceObj('ModItemGameValue', {
'id', "IsDeepPreciousMetalsExploitable",
'amount', 1,
}),

all found unter Cat "Gameplay"


"not get earth sick Sponsor"
think there is some custom Code in it.
Don't find it yet.

For Exaple get the "Idiocracy mod"
But thats above my skills (editing is all i can - and simple values)

Wow wait a minute, where did you get these?

I'm in mod editor and when I click "new commander" and "copy from" it only shows the description and some predefined stats. Where should I see those lines? "Game Apply"?

Hi Alexander,

the ugly part is in the init.lua (Modeditor has difficulties to load text based mods)
PlaceObj('ModItemGameValue', {
'id', "IsDeepPreciousMetalsExploitable",
'amount', 1,
}),

in my example 0 = none 1= yes // no other value, i think
some others are with amount and percent, check +/- value if u want more or less

Back to the ModManager:

"Most of my needs"
are simple "GameValue"s

open "Your Mod"
> new item
> new GameValue
> Category "Gameplay"
>>>> switch to your desired ID
there is very much u can get from the normal commanders/sponsors
(see above - ugly text it is - but the information is in the ugly)


--

some commander or mission sponsor specials are simple game values!
so you dont have to create a sponsor or a commander! But in there are other possibilitys

Tip: Dont overdue it... fun fades very quickly

Ahh, I see. Is that LUA code what I should add to a custom commander's "Game Apply" function line to get it working? And if I figure out the code for preventing earthsickness it's just about something like that?

 

[Luna_UK]

Do you have the medical commander mod from the Dev's?

If so that will show you a few things that you can do for custom commander, but yes I believe you put the modifier code in the game apply part.

 

[AlexanderBoesen]

I have the medical commander files open now and I do have a vague idea how it works but no idea where to start modifying it

IKR, they've not made their guides clear on how to do it.

 

[etarip]

For the politican: I'm pretty sure that it is just a GameValue.

My example from the Water/Metal guy... at the moment i just test some sandboxing and there are MUCH resources... so i think it is correct.

Found no "Tech List" or something simular. Paradoxes Wikis are a wet dream in comparison.

Yeah, I did a copy from when creating my Mission Sponsor thinking that the
- Colonists never get Earthsick
- Food supply from Passenger Rockets increased (x10)
- Rockets synthesize Fuel
traits would carry over, anyone know the game apply codes for these yet?
