Page Sources
The material present on this page can be found on the Long War 2 installation folder, specifically:
- \Config\XComLW_Activities.ini (config file, can be read with Notepad or Notepad++)
- \Config\XComLW_Overhaul.ini
- \Config\XComMissions.ini
- \Script\LW_Overhaul.u (actual mod code, requires UE Explorer to read)
In addition, check this thread on the subreddit r/Xcom contains an excellent Excel spreadsheet made by sectoidfodder, who has already compiled all the relevant info: [1]Hobbes (talk) 23:26, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
ADVENT Activities Table
I've been considering how to use tables to properly display all the activity info. I had this already on my mind I was still compiling the info since my table was getting too big but with the publication of the previous mentioned Excel table, you now have the complete picture (and saved me quite some work).
Essentially, my idea was to split the table into 2: one focusing on activities in general, with activation conditions, while the 2nd would be strictly focusing on the missions generated by activities (and this last one could be made into a template to use also in the Missions page - there's going to be a lot of info of cross-references between this page and Missions to properly explain both).
So here's a proposal for each table
Activities General
- Activity Internal Name - preferable to using alternative names to avoid confusion
- Description/Objectives - to better clarify the previous field
- Priority
- Requirements
- Limits
- Missions Spawned
Activities/Missions
- Internal Name
- Mission Tree/Families
- Rebel Income
- Discovery
- Duration
- Win or Fail/Expire
- EVAC/Force/Alert/Infiltration Modifiers
