Honestly, I don't even understand the question that you are asking.

Are you trying to change the number of souls you have to collect per minute? You can't. It is hard coded.

Are you trying to change the mission description? You will have to create a line in strings_default.txt. That is described in the guide, as well as Nihil's modding guide.

Are you trying to create a script to describe the mission? Again, that is in Icepick's guide, at the bottom of the page that I linked to in my last post.

If you want better answers than that, you are going have to be a little more specific about what it is you are trying to do, what you have tried to do, and what is not working.

Actually I managed to change the thing from ERROR (processord_objective1) to "Collect 50 souls per minute." I also added in a processord_objective1.txt to explain the help, but it wont work

also Im trying to make it so the throughput changes to collected per minute.... on the objective, its messed up...

*tugs at xander's sleeve*

xander, xander, xander... I read Icepick's guide, but... how do I make a mod?? Can you tell me how to do everything pleeeeaze? plstellmenowkthxbye!!1!one!

Cooke, if you don't know how something works, then:

1) Tear apart the game's level files (SEARCH the forums for redshirt2 and main.dat)
2) Tear apart someone else's mod with the desired feature, and scrutinize it
3) Read Icepick's guide
4) SEARCH the forums for an answer before posting a question someone's already asked
5) go on IRC (if you know how) and ask whoever might be handy in #Darwinia

then, and only then should you....

6) Post a question in the Mod Projects forum.

I realize you are relatively new here, but people that have been here since beta (xander) and people that have been here over a year (since the game came out) really don't want to answer questions repeatedly when the answers are already out there.

PS - I after E except after C. (Sorry, couldn't resist)

Really, it is quite simple. First, you need to find a stick. Any stick will do, but larger is better. Then, you need to find a pocket knife (or something similar) and sharpen the stick. You will want to make sure that it is really, really, sharp. Once you have done that, shove it into your eye as quickly as possible. That should do the trick. If it doesn't, try the other eye. Sometimes Darwinia gets a bit wonky if you shove the stick into the wrong eye. ;)

The_Particles_Within level Gluons has a ton of sprit processors, look at it and then build yours. Everything in that level works on mine.

Also, you cannot change the amount it processes...it comes online when it comes online. I can't remember what the figure is, I would have to play the level again to see. My 0.12 update is almost complete, however 0.11 has what you are looking for.
