Level modification?

Deltaomegamma · #1 05-10-2010, 04:33 PM

As soon as I got the vfs extractor, I started trying to modify some files. For now, I discovered that in the levels folder the file equipment.shadvs determines the equipment you can choose to take for a mission, so changing this file into another level folder you can cange the equipment you can take for that mission.
You can also make available the saboteur-difficulty-level equipment if you replace the content of equipment.shadvs with the content of equipment_3.shadvs.

I want to ask if there is any way to increase the number of ammo you can take for a mission via changing a files data.

You'll need some shadvs2txt and txt2shadvs programs in order to be able to safely edit shadvs files. Send a PM to hykao about these programs.

Hi again,
First, I´d like to thank hykao for the .shdvs editors.

I´ve started to modify some equipment files, but the game shuts down when the equipment window (in the game) opens. It happens when I try to add a dynamite to the equipment or if I edit the recommended choice part of the file.
Even when I achieve to start a game with this file modifications, the game crashes after loading. Any help?

P.S.- I just copy and paste the lines from one file to another, so everything looks normal but the problem appears afterwards, in the game.

Change the numbers at the very start of the file like so:

100
0

I had that problem when I wanted to add stuff onto a shadvs file. Without changing the numbers, you're screwed.

Yes, thanks to hykao and csaboka for the editors; I´m new in all this stuff so I don´t know everything yet. I know it´s too soon for me, but how can I upgrade me current status (junior member)?

One more thing if you need any help with translating or other stuff count on me. I leave in Spain for 12 years, so if you need to translate something I´m here (I also know russian).

Anyway, thanks for your help Liz Shaw and Forlik.
