Old mods and the new patch

[spoon]

Just thought it might be helpful to have all the differences in v1.91 data files listed in one place to help with updating your mods. Please add anything that I missed...

settings.txt -- the only difference is the v1.91 files have the smoothed pop bonuses, so you can just cut-n-paste them into your settings.txt. Don't forget the first line:

Number Of Population Modifiers := 101


components.txt
- Header info (for the optional lists). Obviously you don't have to copy this over if you don't want to...
- Beta Displacement Pulser and Ionic Concussion BLaster now have "Component Destroyed On Use" as an ability.
- Small Graviton Beams now have Gravitational Weapons as their research requirement (instead of tractor/repulser)

facility.txt
- Mineral Scanners, Eco-farms, and Radioactive Colliders (and their Systemwide Versions) all have their values changed:

2. Changed - Mineral Scanner I, II, III have had their modifiers increased to 15%, 30%, 45%.
3. Changed - Hybrid Eco - Farms I, II, III have had their modifiers increased to 15%, 30%, 45%.
4. Changed - Radioactives Collider I, II, III have had their modifiers increased to 15%, 30%, 45%.
5. Changed - System Mineral Scanner I, II, III have had their modifiers increased to 15%, 30%, 45%.
6. Changed - System Eco - Farms I, II, III have had their modifiers increased to 15%, 30%, 45%.
7. Changed - System Radioactives Collider I, II, III have had their modifiers increased to 15%, 30%, 45%.

Abilities.txt:

Added:

AI Tag 01
...
AI Tag 20

# Will force AI to use specific component

Generate Points Minerals
Generate Points Organics
Generate Points Radioactives
Generate Points Research
Generate Points Intelligence

# Will generate corresponding points for an empire each turn.

[Sinapus]

How are the AI Tags used?

[Suicide Junkie]

Add a new ability to Components or facilities, with the ability type of "tag ##"

Then the AIs can ask for that ability in their designs and facility queues.

I was kind of hoping it would not be limited to just 20... :-\

[Fyron]

Can a moderator please sticky this? It is important info for modders. Thanks.

Well it's really 40, because you can use the same one on a facility that you use for Something Completely Different (tm) on a component, since they're called for by different AI files. But yes, I was hoping for something along the lines of using the ability's Value 1 to specify what you want... Oh well, you take what you can get

[Fyron]

Spoon, you missed one.

Components:
- Ionic Concussion BLaster has destroyed on use now as well.
