[minimod] Improved Radars for 40K
« on: October 09, 2022, 04:40:06 am »

Important note :
This minimod will not be updated in this thread anymore, further updates will only be found in the minimod collection for 40k/Rosigma :

https://openxcom.old.mod.io/minimods-collection-for-40k-and-rosigma
https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,11058.0.html

This minimod allows all the radar facilities to detect enemy bases (40% of chances to detect an enemy base each day).
The enemy base detection range is equal to the radar normal range itself (so the better radar facilities will also offer better detection range to spot an enemy base). 

Of course enemy bases that are built outside of your radar coverage will stay hidden until you send an aircraft on location then stop it to enable its patrolling function so it can use its base detection radar.

How to Install
---------------
You must have installed the 40K megamod (any version) , you can optionally install the Rosigma expansion, the minimod is compatible with both.

Download the file
ImpRadarv1.zip
that is attached to this post.

Open it, take and move the folder
"ImprovedRadar_40k"

to ...\OpenXCOMDirectory\User\mods\
or your
C:\USER\YourUserName\Documents\OpenXcom\mods\

The  minimod will be available to enable or disable in the 40k (with or without Rosigma) main menu "Mods".

NOTE : you can tweak the base detection efficiency by editing (with any text editor) the file "ImprovedRadar_40k.rul"  and change the line
sightChance: 40
to any number you want (it's the percentage of chance to detect a base in range every day, by default it's set to 40 as you see)
