Auto Reward Ranges

[busboybud]

I am working on a mod to increase the reward per encounter, battle, etc...

I am wondering if anyone has found where the auto reward ranges (tag <autoReward> with level types LOW, MED, and HIGH) are specified in data.dat. More often than not, it seems a random reward is given per scenario, with a type selected such as scrap only. I simply want to see these reward ranges and possibly modify them.

Don't know where they are, but they depend on which sector (number, not type) you are on.

AutoReward is good for simple "leveled loot" rewards. If you're looking to set a particular range, you're better off using the <item modify> tags instead. I can see where it'd be useful to know specific ranges, but as with several other things, those seem set in the engine itself and not accessible through XML modding.

That is what I figured... thought I'd ask before I use the item tag.

slightly off topic, but does anyone know where the cost of reactor (power bars) would be? I found weapons and ship systems in blueprints.

I don't know, but I recall the everything bcosts 0 mod saying he couldn't find where they were eithger.

In the binary under the System instancing stuff. It's parsed/run when you load into the game (read: open continue.sav), and I believe (I haven't looked at it for *weeks*) that it counts bars by level.
