If you never had Notepad++ on your computer before, after installing, launch Notepad++ then quit it
Now go to
C:\Users\YourUSERName\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\
If you never ever worked with Macro function of Notepad++, don't worry i put a detailled step by step tutorial , if you already know, just go download the file and copy paste their content where you know they have to be copy pasted.
With notepad++ , open the file named "shortcuts.xml" that is present there
At the beginning of the file you should see
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<NotepadPlus>
<InternalCommands />
<Macros>
<Macro name="Trim Trailing Space and Save" Ctrl="no" Alt="yes" Shift="yes" Key="83">
<Action type="2" message="0" wParam="42024" lParam="0" sParam="" />
<Action type="2" message="0" wParam="41006" lParam="0" sParam="" />
</Macro>
</Macros>
BETWEEN the last 2 </Macro> entries :
</Macro>
</Macros>
---IF YOU ONLY HAVE AND PLAY THE 40K MOD----
Copy paste the content of the text files "40K ONLY view distance rebalancing.txt" and "40K ONLY remove AI additional maphack.txt" (either from both, or from just one of them)
Close shortcuts.xml the file and save the changes.
----IF YOU HAVE BOTH 40K MOD AND THE ROSIGMA EXPANSION---
Copy paste the content of the text files "40K AND ROSIGMA view distance rebalancing.txt" and "40K AND ROSIGMA remove AI additional maphack.txt" (either from both, or from just one of them)
Close shortcuts.xml the file and save the changes.
Now this macro is setup if your installed 40 and Rosigram_main are installed to
C:\OpenXCOM WH40K\User\mods\40k\Ruleset\
C:\OpenXCOM WH40K\User\mods\ROSIGMA-main\Ruleset\
It's very likely you have installed it differently, in that case, open the shortcuts.xml you already edited, then press CTRL+F
It will bring the Find&Search window.
Click on the "Replace" tab, in front of "Find What", copy paste
C:\OpenXCOM WH40K\User\mods\40k\Ruleset\
and in front of "Replace with", type the path where your openxcom is installed, by example if you have installed your openxcom in C:\Games\OXCE\ , you will then type
C:\Games\OXCE\User\mods\40k\Ruleset\
Then once you have things correctly setyp, click on the "Replace All" button
Do the same with adding at "Find What"
C:\OpenXCOM WH40K\User\mods\ROSIGMA-main\Ruleset\
and your installed path in front of "Replace With", then click on the "Replace All" button.
Close the "shortcuts.xml" and save the changes
Now load notepad++ again.
on the top menu click on "Macro"
You will notice there are 2 more macro :
---IF YOU have installed the 40K ONLY version of the macros----
"40K ONLY disable AI Maphack" and "40K ONLY view distance max 30"
----IF YOU HAVE BOTH 40K MOD AND THE ROSIGMA EXPANSION---
"40K AND ROSIGMA disable AI Maphack" and "40K AND ROSIGMA view distance max 30"
click on the one you want to launch
You will have to click OK when asked (+/- 20 times on the max view distance macro)
Once you're done, you may want or not to click on the other macro to launch it (do NOT relaunch the macro you already used, as it would certainly break the carefully setup balancing completely)
When finished, either get rid of both macros (though you may want to re-use them if 40k or Rosigma are updated or you'll get back to the original mega huge view distance) in the Macro menu -> Modify Shortcut/Delete Macro , or simply quit and enjoy your xcom-ised 40k+Rosigma
