Altering the default SE choices
« on: November 18, 2016, 05:56:45 pm »
Right. It's quite easy to add positives and negatives to the default social engineering choices. Does anyone know whether the game will recognize lines added to the xscript.txt file? For example, look at the Police State objection to democracy:

#SOCIAL0CAT1BAD2
#xs 440
#caption $CAPTION7
"$TITLE0 $NAME1, you must surely realize that Democracy is a menace
to right-thinking people everywhere. Common citizens cannot be
allowed to question the decisions of their rulers! I urge you
to impose strict police control at once!"

So, if I switch CAT1 to CAT0, can I create a text entry which gives police state disapproval for Frontier politics? Suspect it won't work because default options don't offend anyone?

Is it possible to switch BAD2 with BAD0, thereby allowing Frontier disapproval of democracy? Will this line work?

#SOCIAL0CAT1BAD0
#xs 440
#caption $CAPTION7
"$TITLE0 $NAME1, your wretched Democracy threatens freedom
with the tyranny of the majority. I implore you to abandon a form
of government which has, throughout history, invariably failed."

The prevalence of anoxic environments rich in organic material, combined with the presence of nitrated compounds has led to an astonishing variety of underground organisms which live in the absence of oxygen and 'breathe' nitrate. Likewise, the scarcity of carbon in the environment has forced plants to economize on its use. Thus, all our efforts to return carbon to the biosphere will encourage the native life to proliferate. Conversely, the huge quantities of nitrate in the soil will be heaven to human farmers.
