kai Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 In the alien origins research, it says there are a certain number of artifact sites (is it about 12?) What happens if you destroy them all (is it even posible?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 That's my question. I asked it a while back, and the joint decision was that there is no limit to the amount of artifact sites. Some people have had well over 12, but personally, I have never gone over that. I think the game just says that to be an ass. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKF Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Chalk up another inconsistency in the TFTD ufopaedia (Usopaedia?). I think the player's expected to win the game before the 12th artefact site. But you can't help it sometimes. I mean, it's not your fault if for some reason you get an artefect site every few game months (seemingly). I think the only way to find out for sure is to just play the game long enough until you hit your 12th artefact site and see what happens after that. I think there can be anywhere up to 65535 artefact sites (and more, but the number will wrap around back to 1). But no one in their right mind will want to play that far into the game! - NKF P. S: I don't mean there can be 65535 artefacts at the same time. No, there wouldn't be any space. But there is a possibility for that many consecutive artefact sites (including missions, bases, ships, ufos, etc), one after the other. P. S: Unless TFTD switched from short integers to long integers... then the number would be very big indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladeFireLight Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 The internal counter is going to be somewere in the missdat files so I'm guessing they are 2 bytes. I have not seen any Long's in the data files.. but I would have to ask scott to confirm. -Blade FireLight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
