I worked it out, with the aid of several programmers and a few hundreds dollars, a script has now been written so everytime a new game is loaded, freelancer will immediately go to war with every other faction, included in the war also are large battlecruisers which randonly deploy over certain areas and release vase amounts of enemy ships.

I am thinking of deploying this as a mod as the game play totally changes to Hunt The Hunted.

Is there a way to change the level from when you start to the highest level?

Which file to I need to edit to achieve this?

Thank you.

What I want to do here is have the majority of factions all hating each other and fighting everything and basically when you start there is a war going on, sure a few scattered bases will be neutral but other than that, alot of fighting/

I wanted to add flavor to the game by having more fighting going on rather than mission this or mission that.

So in the initialworld.ini this is the first group:

Am I right in believing that changing the 0 to -0.65 will result in my reputation with that group will be hostile? Some of them seem to already be -0.65.

Any more info is great, thank you

Thats fine with me, just need to work out how, the file I need to edit is that the entire file I need to change everything from what they’re to -0.65?

So I would like to have all the factions going at war with one another so its total chaos when the game begins.

From what I know I have to edit these 2 files and make the values negative.

empathy.ini
initialworld.ini

Just want to make sure I am doing the right thing here, grabbed this from the first file:

[RepChangeEffects]
group = ku_p_grp
event = object_destruction, -0.040000
event = random_mission_success, 0.090000
event = random_mission_failure, -0.080000
event = random_mission_abortion, -0.010000
empathy_rate = li_n_grp, -0.100000
empathy_rate = li_lsf_grp, -0.100000
empathy_rate = li_p_grp, -0.100000
empathy_rate = br_n_grp, -0.150000
empathy_rate = br_p_grp, -0.150000
empathy_rate = ku_n_grp, 0.300000
empathy_rate = rh_n_grp, 0.100000
empathy_rate = rh_p_grp, 0.100000
empathy_rate = co_shi_grp, 0.350000
empathy_rate = co_khc_grp, 0

Which part am I actually turning negative? Is it this for example from above:

empathy_rate = rh_n_grp, 0.100000
```to

empathy_rate = rh_n_grp, -0.100000

Or it it something else?

And in the initialworld.ini file where do I change to negative in there?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
