Zaimoni's XCOM1 Editor
Jump to navigation
Jump to search
This set of DOS batch files and Python 2.5.x scripts is a command-line savegame editor and turn-swapping utility. You will also need the (http://www.python.org/) Python scripting language installed. Unzip into c:\mps\ufo (will need editing if the XCOM1 install is elsewhere)
The Python scripts should work with Python 2.6.x and 2.7.x as well.
- They will not work with Python 2.4.x due to undocumented incompatible changes in the struct module, and presumably will not work with earlier versions either.
- They will not work with Python 3 due to pointless, gratuitous changes in the Python language, including but not limited to renaming xrange to range.
Usage:
- Soldier.py : Soldier and battlescape editor. Intended to run from the savegame directory being edited:
..\Soldier.py .... - Base.py : Base editor. Intended to run from the savegame directory being edited:
..\Base.py .... - Transfer.py : Transfer editor. Intended to run from the savegame directory being edited:
..\Transfer.py .... - Omniview.py : lights whole map, reveals whole map, renders all aliens visible.
- PrepareSWP.py : Prepares a battlescape savegame for turnswapping. Run from the savegame directory to be enabled:
..\PrepareSWP.py - Alienturn.bat : Swaps a game from the human player to the alien player. Run from the main directory, e.g.
Alienturn.bat game_8 - Humanturn.bat : Swaps a game from the alien player to the human player. Run from the main directory, e.g.
Humanturn.bat game_8 - XCOM1.py : some numerical utilities for tactical analysis. Run from the main directory as
python -i XCOM1.py(it's meant to be used in interactive mode).
AutoClose.py may also be useful for repairing savefiles with UFO doors stuck open. Run from the savegame directory to be fixed: ..\AutoClose.py
Base.py
Supported subcommands for Base.py
unbuild_dirt:
sets days-to-completion for dirt to 255/-1 (never) at all bases. This bypasses
a bug.
fast_construction:
forces all in-construction facilities to complete at next midnight. Cheat.
instant_construction:
forces all in-construction facilities to complete instantly. Cheat. Not smart
enough to handle radars or hyperwave detectors.
overview Name:
lists all items in inventory at base Name.
Soldier.py
Supported subcommands for Soldier.py
list
lists soldier names in internal order.
sort:
sorts soldiers according to the function SOLDIERS_CMP.
Soldiers in transit will be left in place to prevent eliciting gross bugs.
rename OldName NewName:
renames soldier from oldname to newname. NewName will be truncated to fit, if
needed.
swap Name1 Name2:
swaps the soldiers named Name1 and Name2.
max_recruit Name:
sets recruit stats for Name to maximum. Cheat.
inactive Name:
reduces mission count and score for Name by 1. Cheat.
battlescape
military intelligence overview...vaguely like XCOMUtil DIS:2
facing [unitref index] [facing]
changes facing of target index
transpose [unitref index] [unitref index]
transposes two units on the battlescape. Unreliable in the presence of
large units.
The shipped sort order is moderately useful if you want psi-weakings to soak reaction fire.
Transfer.py
Supported subcommands for Transfer.py
fast_shipment:
forces all in-progress transfers to arrive at the next hour transition. Cheat.
