No problem. When you're ready I'd love a windows 7 binary since this is what I intend to test on (would make switching between open deadlock and og deadlock a lot easier).

Re: Deadlock 2: Gameplay fixes
Thanks for this as I much prefer the windowed mode.
On using the dll for v1.20, I get an "msvcp140d.dll not found" error. I guess you linked it to debug dlls instead of runtime. Essentially you have to install visual studio and all of its bloat if you want to play the game with your fix.

Re: Deadlock:Planetary Conquest Guide
One interesting thing about spying, if you increase the spying success chance value to 200 (or 100%), you can still get caught spying but if you don't you're 100% successful. In other words, I believe chance to get caught is checked before cheking if the mission was successful in 2 separate rolls ...

Re: What is the optimal build at the start of a game ?
Humans with 400 starting and 500 limit, with nothing built grow to 428 in one turn. When I build 4 basic housing, raising the max pop to 2500, humans grow from 400 to 444 in one turn. Further evidence I was wrong earlier in this thread.
I don't blame you since it only took me a decade before I ...

Re: What is the optimal build at the start of a game ?
I actually went over this in a post a few years ago: viewtopic.php?t=368
Aye, you and FatRatKnight on gamefaqs are the source of all my game mechanics knowledge. Simplifying your population growth formula into +500 housing every +100 colonists gives players something to aim for in terms of ...

Do you still need info on the data sections? I've worked out quite a lot of it.

Re: What is the optimal build at the start of a game ?
Your colonists do not grow faster if they have more room - they grow at a fixed rate of roughly +5% of your existing population (on plains), with a minimum of +1/turn if you have enough food. A lack of food is more critical, so my first building is a farm.
