I'm not aware of any major completed mods, though there have been some attempts.

If I may ask a question (didn't want to start a separate thread)

I've noticed subsidies in the code for future names for weapons (X-15 civilian laser rifle? fuck yeah!) in the xml weapons page. Is there a way to start at 2100 instead of 2009?

Hi,

Hacky way:
from the code edit src/game.cpp and look for
  int year=2100;
And remove #... lines all around. Set the precise date you want too.
recompile

otherwise, correct way:
edit src/includes.h and uncomment the line
#define THEFUTURE

Recompile and enjoy 2010.

--
Edit: can also combine both (keep the #... lines tho in first step) and have future start in 2012 or any other time, while doing it correct ^^

Dammit, can't the start year be put in the XML or something? Seems like anything hard-coded is not what this needs.

Can be xml'd if anyone likes soft-coding that ^^ (namely, taking inspiration from initialize_* in game.cpp, just does that for armor/ammo/... seems very doable). Other stuff than starting year seems hardcoded so i guess should be worth a xml mission sometime for modders (maybe include too house/senate/... geometry, custom pgup/pgdwn, ...)

Currently on something else and member of the "slightly XML-prejudiced" club so won't take it now

That seems like a lot of work.

fuck it, i'm doing it. for space bats.

o_O faster to set than compile - lots of CPU work as you touch base include and should recompile in full.

suffices to change around line 47 in src/include.h (trunk)
-//#define THEFUTURE
+#define THEFUTURE

HTH

What does the Weird Chemical do? I find a lot of it, but I'm not sure if it does anything.

I'm pretty sure there is no use for it other than pawning.

[stabbymcstabstab]

still it makes a fair amount of cash for every one and theres usually thirity of them on your liberials after a factory raid.

[DeathsDisciple]

I have a new question.
*How do I be invincible to fire? I've made a new weapon called a Cansword that is a sword...that spray-paints graffiti...and sets things on fire. Now, in this game, setting things on fire is suicide. Though I have modded an armor (Ninja Suit) to have the <fireprotection>true</fireprotection> code, it still burns me. Any suggestions?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

<fireprotection> is just that, protection. It's applied to the Bunker Suit, I believe. You are still going to die from fire fairly quickly unless you code in a fire immunity tag. Or just use the total invulnerability that is applied to the M1 Abrams.

[DeathsDisciple]

The total invulnerability that is applied to the M1 Abrams?

[lordcooper]

Yes, the total invulnerability that is applied to the M1 Abrams!

[DeathsDisciple]

How do I do that? Where do I find it?
