Increased prestige
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the
file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "character.gf" file in
the "/files/activision/sf3/metaassets/serverprofiles/singleplayer" folder. Find
the line that reads "// This is a characters starting prestige". Under
the "[Create/0]" header, replace the value with 200000. This affects Commander
mode; do this for the prestige values under the "[Create/1]" header for Captain
mode and the "[Create/1]" header for hard mode.
// This is a character's starting prestige
[Create/0]
StartingPrestige = 200
[Create/1]
StartingPrestige = 100
[Create/2]
StartingPrestige = 50
Faster officer promotion
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the
file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "score" file in
the "/files/activision/sf3/metaassets//singleplayer" folder. Add the following
lines to the file:
[SpecializedLevelUp]
Basic = 1.0
Trained = 1.0
Skilled = 1.0
Veteran = 1.0
Expert = 1.0
Add cloak and shields to Borg ship
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the
file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "bridge items" file in
the "/activision/sfc3/assets/common settings" folder. Find and highlight the
highest valued cloak and copy it. It should look like this:
[CloakItems\R-CLOAK-V]
Description = "R-CLOAK-V"
Cost = 2500
Mass = 700
CloakRating = 100
CloakCost = 10
Health = 30
Race = "R"
Paste it to the bottom of the list, then change the race "R" to "B" for Borg.
Note: You can also change the mass so that you can fit it on any ship (down from
700 to 100). The edited portion should look like this:
[CloakItems\R-CLOAK-V]
Description = "R-CLOAK-V"
Cost = 2500
Mass = 100
CloakRating = 100
CloakCost = 10
Health = 30
Race = "B"
Exit and save the file. You now have a cloak on any Borg ship. Next, edit
the "shield items" file in the same folder. Find the highest rated Borg Shield.
It should look like this:
[ShieldItems\B-SHIELD-X]
Description ="B-SHIELD-X"
Strength = 32
Efficiency = 3.0
Cost = 2750
Mass = 8000
Race = "B"
UnavailableForRefit = 1
Highlight the "UnavailableForRefit = 1" line and delete it. Note: You can also
change the mass so that you can fit it on any ship (down from 8000 to 100). The
edited portion should look like this:
[ShieldItems\B-SHIELD-X]
Description ="B-SHIELD-X"
Strength = 32
Efficiency = 3.0
Cost = 2750
Mass = 100
Race = "B"
Exit and save the file. You can now have shields on any Borg ship. You can also
experiment with many of the other values in these files to change other ship
parameters. Be careful, as this can cause the game to crash if you change the
wrong value or make it too high or too low.
