Make enemies drop CM's

I'm a noob, is ShockEd hard to use?

[67436356bb44avoodoo47]

depends on what you want to do - for example, moving objects around is pretty simple, but generally, this is not an easy tool.

I want to edit a gamesys that makes enemies drop CM's and also increasing the price for upgrades.
I wrote this kind off weird. What I meant was, there is a mod that makes enemies drop CM's here, but I want to change the values of it. Not make my own when there already is one.

that would mean modifying loot lists and price lists. not extremely difficult, I think.

[67436356bb7f9Primitive Primate]

Can I basically put in anything I want them to drop in these said loot lists?

[67436356bb926voodoo47]

it probably needs to be a valid pickable object (so for example, crates and corpses would be a bad idea), but apart from that, yeah, I think it can be pretty much anything - consumables, upgrades, modules.

Good. Because I want every researchable enemy to instantly drop their research soft so I don't need to kill another one to get it if the first didn't.

[67436356bbb24voodoo47]

not 100% sure whether this can be done in vanilla, but NVscript has NVGuaranteedLoot, that should definitely make it possible.

It appears to be just what I need

Oh good, XP grinding in SS2.

[67436356bbe5dvoodoo47]

yeah, such a mod will definitely not make it to the official recommended list - while there are hints that IR was considering this at some point, there is a reason it didn't make it into the final build.

- sorry, that post wasn't supposed to be here -

[67436356bc00dvoodoo47]

be more specific in which part you didn't understand.

[67436356bc3f3Primitive Primate]

Oh good, XP grinding in SS2.

Yup. That was EXACTLY my plan. Good work in unveiling it.

A similar mod attempt like you describe: d0om AssimilationMod beta
Might be helpful.

I'll try it out, sounds fun

I want everyone to read the third post on this thread, the orange text specifically.

[67436356bc855voodoo47]

well go ahead and change the values then. that is pretty easy, you just have to find them. implementing new stuff is what is hard.
