SH3Cmdr's Randomised events - Page 2

JScones · 04-24-06, 04:39 AM

I didn't really want to start a whole thread for this, but there isn't a topic already around to tack this on to (unless I chose to highjack one).

Anyway, I just wanted SH3Cmdr users to know that they have a lot of power with the new "Randomisation events" feature. Apart from introducing the awesome work of Hemisent (Thermal Layers and Sabotage mods) and gouldjg (Hollywood Chaos - this I think has the potential to be revolutionary), it can be used for even the most simple applications.

For example, sick of the "Keep up the good work!" message from BdU? Try adding:

Code:

[0_data\Menu\en_menu.txt]
ChooseFrom=4
RndMidPat=1

0_STRINGS|4198=Keep up the good work!
1_STRINGS|4198=Great stuff Kaleun!
2_STRINGS|4198=Very impressive!
3_STRINGS|4198=What, are you bragging now?

Use the same approach to get rid of the "Be more aggresive!" text, or indeed any *_menu.txt entry.

Another example? Implement your own random ship draft:

Code:

[0_data\Sea\NKC3\NKC3.cfg]
ChooseFrom=6
RndMidPat=1

0_Unit|Draft=8
1_Unit|Draft=9
2_Unit|Draft=10
3_Unit|Draft=11
4_Unit|Draft=12
5_Unit|Draft=13

(Repeat for each ship type)

This is just one example of how you can randomise ship settings (although it may actually be the sim file you need to adjust in regards to the ship draughts, but you get the idea) - use the same logic to change the max speed or any other ship related value.

As an aside, the next SH3Cmdr release will include a "Static settings.cfg" file which will let you "force" a value for *any* SH3 setting in *any* SH3 game file. It's kinda like the "Randomised events" feature but without the randomisation aspect (so it's more "user friendly").

Together these two features will give you *full* control over *every* part of SH3, regardless of what mods you install.

Anyway, apologies in advance to those that will see this as no more than self product marketing - but if you use the product, it's good to know how you can use it!
