It simply switches the attributes in the save game file, it doesn't affect anything else. if you start a new game you don't need anything since the Agi/Dex swap was caused by a bug that was fixed in the patch. As for adding a GUI, it shouldn't be too much of a problem, however since I've got a big programing assignment I should have been working on instead of playing this game all day long it would take a day or two untill I'll have time to do that.

By the way, if anyone encounters a problem with a missing zlib1.dll when running this, simply run the util from the aftershock directory as there's a copy of that dll in there.

Thanks, feel free to add it to your files section... Rinchwind.

I made a small program to fix the agility/dexterity switching problem which happened in the patch. download it from here. simply run it, select the savegame you wish to fix and it will switch the dexterity and agility for all your soldiers. I have only tested this on the english version and only on saves from the strategy part, I strongly suggest backing up your save game before using this. Edit: I added a GUI for this utility, it should be much easier to use now. Rinchwind.

Is there anything special I need to research inorder to use a sniper scope? I can manufacture them without any problem and in the manufacture screen they are listed as "in stock" however, when I go to the compose screen for any weapon (and I've tried all of them...) the sniper scope simply isn't there... all the other accessories I manufactured appear for every weapon they can be attached to, but the sniper scope is simply missing... is it a bug or have I simply haven't researched the appropriate tech to use them?

Hi, I've got a somewhat odd request... Since it'll take a while before I'll get my preorder and the demo really isn't helping in that regard I'd like to have a savegame file from the game to play around with. So if anyone would be able to send me one (to rinchwind.geo@yahoo.com) I'd appreciate it... Rinchwind.

ShadowBlade - It appears that the anti-biomass fix does prevent your base from being instantly destroyed. I captured threee bases inside the biomass since I patched and I got to keep them all. Rinchwind.

I remember reading in one of the research results that if you destroy a biomass node the biomass around it resides for a little while. I got a few missions of "destroy biomass node", but the missions themselves where just regular "kill everyone" missions, and nothing happened to the biomass after I did these missions. however, in each of these missions there was a strange alien structure in the middle of the map but I couldn't destroy it with any of my weapons (though I wasn't carrying anything too powerful in any of these missions) Did anyone manage to destroy that structure? or effect the biomass in any other way in these missions? Rinchwind.

when I got them I tried to give them some armor, and when I couldn't I removed the armor from one of them, now he looks like a mummy and I still can't equip him with a reguler armor (or even his old lab coat for that sake, it just disappeard...) maybe they are planning to do something with them later in the game? otherwise it seems pretty pointless...

If you are having trouble with modifying the CRC I've made a small utility that can fix the CRC in the file, you can download it here. Don't forget to make a backup of the save file before you modify it, there is no guarantee that it will work on all versions of the game. Rinchwind.
