Simple Mod Help?

Changing Resource Rates

December 31, 2009 11:25:04 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Okay, I'm new to the modding thing, so please be gentle. All I want to do is create a mod so that resource rates are above a crawl. My friends and I regularly play over a lan, and we'd like to be able to do a multiplayer game that -doesn't- take something on the tune of 5+ hours to complete, mostly because we're all scrabbling for resources. How would I go about adding a multiplyer to the Credit/Metal/Crystal generation rates?

 

And please, no comments about "then you don't know how to play" or anything. x.x We just want quicker games.

The gameplay.constants file has a lot of changeable values.

Take a look and you will find:

incomeSpeedData-Slow
  incomeRateGameSpeedScalar 0.0
 incomeSpeedData-Normal
  incomeRateGameSpeedScalar 0.15
 incomeSpeedData-Fast
  incomeRateGameSpeedScalar 0.30

increasing these numbers will result in higher resources.

This is a text file in the gameinfo folder of SoaSE's main program folder. 

Happy New Year!

Edit- I changed the 0.30 to 1.00, hoping that would prompt a big increase- but it doesn't seem to have... did I mess up?
