Work In Progress / Re: Mission Scripting

So, thats my solution : I modify the values in regions.rul to have low chances of having these two missions types in seas/oceans featuring most of the funding countries (north pacific, north atlantic, indian ocean, japan sea, south china sea, mediterraneans sea) ?

By studying regions.rul, I guess i see the probabilities of each mission to happen... so I could simply change the probabilities of these missions to happen...

Am I right ?

P.S: Don't worry, I don't expect you to do everything at my place, but if anyone willingly propose himself to write it, I am open to it... but I guess I would have more merit doing it myself.

Should I start a new topic to increase my chances of having more detailed answers ?

What are the type names for Infiltration and Base building missions ?

I would like to postpone "Base building" missions and "Infiltrations" missions to July in TFTD

I would have to type 2 new entries, "firstMonth: 6" for both types of missions, but dont know the type name of these missions

Update : have modified alienMissions.rul but have no effect : Gillmen in January when I removed them... or is this USO case independant of the modifications I made ?

I wondered if it is possible to modify the appearance ratios for aliens types and mission types for TFTD, as these ones are absurd and artificially increase the difficulty of the game ?

Open Feedback / Coelacath/Gauss only needing Gauss Canon research
« on: October 23, 2018, 06:15:36 am »
I wondered if there is a mod that exclusively solve this issue, that allow to produce the Coelacanth/gauss as soon as you have researched the Gauss Canon ?

And since XCOM have got its reboot/reimagining in 2012, there are even more parallels:
-Julian, the artificial intelligence of the former XCOM base introduced in Shen's Last Gift, is just like HELEN 3000 which got updated in the 2nd half of the 4th season to become HELEN 6000+... and besides they tend to be both as sarcastic
-In both there are several mentions to a dark force seeking to destroy the universe and "the gift" which is supposed to prevent it (actually since the very end of the 2nd season to be more specific)

To clear things up (switch between english and french versions for both if needed) :

Gillman : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gill-man

Deep One : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceux_des_profondeurs

For those who don't agree with the translation, they can still modify the file after having downloaded it, like it always happen in these cases !

It is well known fact that translators/dubbers were pretty lame until the mid 2000s, and never respected the references nor the contexts !

And another thing : if you look closely to the True-french  translations/dubbings, they are never litteral translations from english, unlike Quebec-french !

Its simple: I have made somes researches and finally decided to get closer to the original materials, and the references of course !

When I look at this series today, I see how premonitory it was, especially when you make the paralles with present days situations/themes and the situations/themes from "Ocean Girl"...

This is one of the first series of the australian producer Jonathan M. Shiff with Thunderstone, and the most intelligent with Thunderstone as well !

H2O (and possibly its spin-off Mako Mermaids) is the only over series from the producer to have had the same amount of success as Ocean Girl !... although The Burau of Magical Things could question that, and possibly the Ocean Girl sequel in preparation...
