Extended Dark Events [Vanilla]
UPDATE: Integrated Communications Events were changed and are now customizable through the XComDarkEvents.ini . Two new variables were added – ClassicMode and ThatsJust♥♥♥♥♥♥♥t, both set to false by default. ClassicMode defines which units will receive Squadsight, false means only Officers will get it, true means all ADVENT units will. ThatsJust♥♥♥♥♥♥♥t prevents any units from receiving Squadsight. Enable it if you hate this event but it already occurred during your campaign.
P.S. I briefly tested it and it appears to work, but don’t hesitate to contact me if you encounter any problems.
P.S.S. I’ve also included the French and Spanish translations made by @Papas con mojo and @FrUnit7 in the mod. Really appreciate your work, guys. All the credits for those go to you.
This mod adds 6 additional Dark Events to the game.
I personally am a big fan of the very concept of Dark Events, and there really wasn’t enough of them for me. So – more incoming! You can also customize the mod by editing the ini file, which you can find here: %STEAM_FOLDER%/steamapps/workshop/content/268500/652169373/Config/XComDarkEvents.ini . Feel free to turn on or off events that you like or dislike. By default all of them are on.
I tried to make them tweak your game experience in more subtle ways, just like the original Dark Events do. They also shouldn’t be too imbalanced, I played a campaign with them on ironman legend for few months and didn’t have too much trouble.
NOTE: Unfortunately, you’ll need to start a new game in order for this mod to take effect.
This mod doesn’t override any classes and should be compatible with any other mod (unless they override something important 🙂 ).
===============================
List of the Dark Events:
Advanced Firewall. Hackers suffer +20 penalty to their tech score, and all other operatives – +3.
Integrated Communications. All ADVENT soldiers receive a Squadsight perk. Sometimes though, they’d still prefer to get closer to increase their aim roll. Be advised: there is also a permanent version of this event.
Sabotage Protocol: Scanning times for Avenger are slowed down by 50%.
Security Exploit: Slows down current research by 30%.
Arms Enhancements: ADVENT troopers will receive random advanced weapon upgrades on the tactical field. The list consists of: scope, laser sight, hair trigger, expanded magazine and auto-loader. There is no stock or repeater, that would be too cruel. They also don’t drop it after their death.
===============================
If you encounter any bugs(features), errors, Easter eggs or any other weird stuff – let me know.
And if you have any suggestions as for improving the mod – I’d be glad to hear them.
Enjoy! I hope you like it.
