The value entered in this locations is the numbers of that kind of
objects. You can also enter values over 255 simply using the next byte.
For example, to have 500 Torpedo Launchers, change bytes at offsets 0046h
and 0047h to F4 01. Remember that if you enter a quantity too great for
the availability of the base, the game will crash. The values are referred
to the first base. For the others, add 128h to the offsets.
ASTORE.DAT
1st BYTE Alien type 2nd BYTE Alien class
01h Aquatoid 01h Commander
02h Gill Man 02h Navigator
03h Lobster Man 03h Medic
04h Tasoth 04h Technician
05h Calcinite 05h Squad Leader
06h Deep One 06h Soldier
07h Bio-Drone 07h Terrorist
08h Tentaculat
09h Triscene
0Ah Hallucinoid
0Bh Xorquid
These values define the alive aliens that we have in the base. The two
values (one for the type and one for the class) must be entered in the
first two bytes of the file. After the project has started or the aliens
have been transferred to another base, the first byte will be 0. You can
re-enter a new value to have other aliens.
CRAFT.DAT
VALUE Submarine
00h Triton 01h Hammerhead
02h Leviathan
03h Barracuda
04h Manta
These values must be entered in the first byte of the file. They define
the kind of submarine we have in the first base. To change the others
submarine, add 06Eh to the offset.
IGLOBE.DAT
Enter the values FF FF 7F in the first locations of the files to have
very, very much money.
