Hello everyone,
I hopped on the RF:G bandwagon with the $5 Steam sale (hopefully you'll see some increased traffic on these forums from others doing the same.)
Anyway, I'm hoping there's a way to reduce/eliminate mission respawn. I'd love to be able to have a tough fight, but be able to reduce the swarms of enemies popping in.
I found this page:
http://www.factionfiles.com/ff.php?action=scriptxfuncs
that has a number of scriptX functions.
[spawn_region_disable] looks promising, as it says that it 'prevents spawning from a spawn region'. However, I have no idea how to get these ScriptX commands to work in the game. Is there a dev console that can be enabled? Is there a batch file that can be made to execute when the game runs?
Hopefully someone's already made a spawn reducer/eliminator (assuming it's possible), but if not some general help on where to get started on scriptX would be appreciated.
Thanks for the help!
hey there, i think you could edit the file "spawn_parameters.xtbl" inside "misc.vpp_pc" in "Red Faction Guerrilla\build\pc\cache" folder.
There you have the spawn parameters for EDF and Guerrilla too like so:
<SquadSpawnPeriod>350</SquadSpawnPeriod>
<NPCSpawnPeriod>350</NPCSpawnPeriod>
<MinSpawnDistance>150.0</MinSpawnDistance>
hope it helps.

Thanks for the information! I found the file you mentioned, unpacked, edited, and repacked with WinRed. I'm not sure yet if the changes are being 'accepted' by the game yet, but it seems like a good start.
