Is there a way to change the starting level of a colony's buildings instead of starting at level 1? Is it also possible to add intel and research structures to deploy along with everything else?
I read through this thread viewtopic.php?f=9&t=64&sid=813f03e69864 ... 91f31da87e, but it didn't seem to answer my question. Maybe I fail at reading comprehension (it wouldn't be the first time...)

New 12 byte entry structure of the colony ship production table at 0x18E2B8: (for production values 0-8)
Bytes:At asm-469DEB i.e. 0x691EB (5 zero bytes) = race specific bonus area (1 byte each, card-rom)
- 1-4 starting population (unchanged)
=> Number of main buildings:
5 - Food
6 - Industry
7 - Energy
8 - Research
9 - Intel
10 - Race specific bonus buildings (see below)
=> AI bonuses:
11 - AI starting pop bonus (i.e. +value from byte 1-4)
12 - 1= AI extra starting shipyard
Area IDs for race specific extra buildings:
0 - Food
1 - Industry
2 - Energy
3 - Research
4 - Intel
e.g. 00 00 00 01 00 -> klingons extra Industry, all other extra Food (cf. byte 10 above for number of extra buildings)

OK, but the really sad part is that none of that makes sense to me...
I could download a hex editor (Harry Potter flashback) and try to figure it out, but I'd screw it up....Guess it's time for some trial-and-error, after I save copies of my .res and .exe
This is one of those things that I wish UE7 could do for me...at least I understand how to do that.
