open a save with a text editor and do a search to find "score"  ??

No need to move the thread, it's a general question.

You will have a score entry for every country.  Just pick a country and edit the bottom-most score entry in the array.

Since the OP is relating to a catastrophic month. I kinda believe niculinux is asking for the following cheat:
Code: [Select]
warned: false

Thanks, but i was reffering to score. Oh i thought there was an overall score, not one for every country. While we are here, how the game does proceed to provide the final monthly score? Some weird math science?  :)

I'd assume summing each individual region score. Where each region score is probably: {activityXcom - activityAlien}. Possibly amended with researchScore after  the summation.

I'm not sure if county score is already part of the region score for the purpose of determining the final score

note:
  Based on contents of save file, not on code knowledge. One of the main devs can enlighten us (or you can do a code dive).

I don't know why they are stored differently, but they should add up.  Maybe it's just done that way to make the graphs faster.

Your score is just the sum of region (xcom - alien) activity and research scores. Country activity (which is naturally a subset of region) is only used for weighting their individual opinions of you.

Quick hack to get some score:

Make a new research project (put it in a mod), with the following data:
Code: [Select]
  - name: STR_FREE_POINTS
    cost: 1
    points: X
where X is the number of points you want.

You can research this overnight with only one scientist applied to the project.
