UFO Defense.exe Exectutable Mod Sheet

Description

This was a brave attempt to compile all the known information about the Collector's Edition executable (UFO Defense.exe) into one document to make it easier to find things. While still far from complete, it offers up a wealth of knowledge by myself and others about the most common (and sometimes uncommon) areas people want to edit. A short list of features: text offsets to english2.dat for some items in the game denoted with (T), info on tanks and terror units, damage modifiers, base startup costs, soldier names, starting base facilities & stores, craft & craft weapons (including UFO's), research, manufacturing, facilities, buy/sell, funding, alien weapon loadouts, UFOPaedia, armor, zonal and alien stats.

All the data is presented in a MS-Excel workbook with separate tabs for the different areas. Within each sheet I have arranged the bytes first, then the start location (in both MS-Edit with 100 column widths and normal offsets) and finally a condensed form with notes. Some sheets are not quite as polished as I'd like them to be, but this is my personal "working" copy which I use all the time so function is more important than form in this case.

Hopefully this will spur some interest in modding the executable as that area has been neglected for far too long. If you find something which I do not have listed, please let me know in this thread and I'll add the info in asap (I'll give you credit if you wish). Remember, this is not meant to be a one-man contribution, but rather a free exchange of info for all modders of this great game. Data from this sheet may be used to search within the DOS versions as well, so for all of you who want to mod the Steam version of the game, this may prove useful.

I should mention that this would have never been possible if it were not for the following individuals who helped directly (or indirectly) with finding offsets or contributing in some way: NKF, Bomb Bloke, Mike The Red, Scott T. Jones, BladeFireLight, Munkeylord, Stewart, Arrow Quivershaft, Spike and of course Seb76.
