Reducing the Spawn Probability

Shelton · 08-14-07, 04:25 AM

Hi Guys

I took a good look at the Campaign_RND.mis file and there is a parameter called Spawn Probability now what i want to do i reduce the number of single ship encounters to make it more realistic.

So do you know whether reducing the single ship entries of spawn probability down to say 25 will achieve this ?

Thanks
Shelton.

There was a mod called the "20/20 Mod", which reduced the number of single ships to 20% of stock, and then reduced the number of contacts to 20% as well. I use it, and I think it was incorporated into more than one supermod.

Some of the Single RND ships might have a spawn probability of less than 25% so this will need to be checked but yes, reducing the spawn % will decrease the likelyhood of single contacts being loaded at the start of the campaign.

You might also look at reducing the % chance of getting a radio mesage telling you about single contacts.
