Any way to edit a savegame to prevent a low score termination?

[Taberone]

I'm this close to getting the Avenger and the council of funding retards shuts me down for having a bad score 2 months in a row. Is there a way to edit the monthly rating/score to prevent that? Editing ActivityAlien and ActivityXcom doesn't seem to do much.

You can change the string "warned: true" to "warned: false".
But my advice - better start new game:)

Warned is set to "False" and I still get terminated. That must be for if XCOM is in debt.

Hmm.. Another condition is rating. You can increase your rating for last month. Simple set last strings in "activityXcom" to, for example, 1000000 or more.

Code: [Select]

regions:
  - type: STR_NORTH_AMERICA
    activityXcom:
      - 0
      - 0
      - 675
      - 1475
      - 275
      - 250
      - 700
      - 400
      - 0 # set this string to 1000000

Does it have to be for all of them to work?

Didnt work

You can fail in several cases:
1. if you lost a battle on the Mars. https://github.com/SupSuper/OpenXcom/blob/master/src/Battlescape/BattlescapeState.cpp#L1929
2. if you lost a last base. https://github.com/SupSuper/OpenXcom/blob/master/src/Geoscape/GeoscapeState.cpp#L685
3. if you have low rating two last months. https://github.com/SupSuper/OpenXcom/blob/master/src/Geoscape/MonthlyReportState.cpp#L193
4. if you been warned and you have less -$1 mln on an account. https://github.com/SupSuper/OpenXcom/blob/master/src/Geoscape/MonthlyReportState.cpp#L208

So, you haven't been warned;
 you corrected your monthly rating;
 you have at least one base;
 you have never been on Mars

I don't know what s wrong.

can you upload your save

I started a new game and overwrote the quicksave, but I have a save shortly before the month ended.....With none of the fixes tried at that point in time, but they didn't seem to work anyways.

Just fast forward to the end of the month and ignore the UFO spam.

I did all the fixes on a quicksave file, since I dont use regular saves that often.

the game crashes after i click the "1day" button after 5 game minutes
i tried to fix it for like 3 minutes but failed
did you changed
    type: STR_AUSTRALASIA
    activityAlien:
      - 10819
      - 7848
    type: STR_EUROPE
      - 172
      - 2118
and escpecially
    type: STR_ANTARCTICA
      - 1627
      - 1963
to 0?  and it still did not work

so you started a new game - have fun

If you have a Lightning, you might try getting a ground mission, say, an alien base out of the way before the end of the month. If you have enough time remaining, you could just fit interceptors with avalanches and start shooting down as many alien craft as possible. You might be surprised how fast you can turn your score around with a little diligence and save-scumming.

xcom is an excersize in learning to deal with failure.
