Research "Cheat" inquiry

from Sins Forums

Where is all the research data for a given race, say the Psi? I am asking because I would love to start certain races with an "edge" over others in Harmony, some in Hostility and yet others in artifacts.

Can someone post the method and steps (data input req'd) of what might be edited to give a certain research right at the beginning of the game?

What might one do to open all research at the beginning of the game? (for when a friend and I just want to hash it out from the beginning, or when I want to give my son all techs from start and leave myself with standard)

 

Any advice/input is appreciated.

I guess what I am asking is; IN what file(s) can I find the details to edit to start the game with all techs?
From there I can work backwards and edit only what I want.

I'm not sure there is such a file. You could go into each research of the race in question, and make the ones you want cost nothing, and have 0 build time. There might be a way, but I don't know it.

Also, I think no one answered your first question, and this may sound a bit harsh, is because writing a tutorial like that is quite demanding. We can give you file names or references of what to look for, but it would be you who found them and worked out how to get the results you want. I'll let my Inner-Geek speak out on this one: "I can only show you the door, you're the one that has to walk through it." - Morpheus :HOT:

Like Uzii said, there's no way to define what research techs a player starts with researched. What techs can be researched are in the playerrace.entity files, but there's no way to set techs as researched on game start.

thanks so much for your replies, both of you.

Not the replies I was hoping for but at least I have an answer and I am not awating a reply that will never come.
