Preda Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Nice of you to hear my call, Gringo. I think I can give a more detailed solution though. I have posted a quote to almighty1's solution to the problem. I will also post a link to the little scripthe made that automatically fixes the savedgames. Ok I think I have a solution, but you have to accept hacking your save game. Extract your savegame using vfstool, go to the file strat_game, find the research section, starting "research SubTechnology RECORD", count down 50 lines and change "isAvailable BOOL FALSE" to "isAvailable BOOL TRUE".

Preda Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 OK, sorry for double-posting, but I think it is clearer this way. Beneath is the link to the script. It seems to unbeleivably work even after almost a year, although we should make a new one just in case, so that the script does't get lost. I can't save files to this computer I'm on, so somebody else will have to download the file and host in in a fresh spot. "The pwnage of the starghosts is near" scriptVfs tool is also needed Instructions (transript from the creator): Unzip both my program and script, as well as vfstool.exe to a folder. Either using Dos console, or a shortcut run the patch.bat file with the argument of the save game file location. E.g. "patch.bat mysave.vfs" Notes (transript from the creator): This is pretty experimental, you will need at least Java 1.4 for it to run. Also make sure you back up your save game file. I have tested this on a brand new game (after first base mission) and the "new enemy race" research IS made available. OK, that sees to be about it. I think this thread is worth being stickied (more than the "Wikipedia entry" thread, which I have failed to properly maintain). Any additions are welcome, as is any error report, although I fear I won't be able to help too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
