Is there a way to play without the Fog of War (only in a mod)?The player can see all the stars, planets, strategic resources, etc., but not the ships, starbases, etc.; the player need to use sensors to see the ships, etc.Is there a way to play without the Sensor System (only in a mod)?The player can see all the map once the Fog of War is removed, and the sensor system becomes useless, but the mod is adjusted for this."Disable the Fog of War" and "Disable the Sensor System" are separate options and they can both be activated/deactivated at the same time; all of this in a file specific to the mod, and only when the mod is loaded in the game. So, it's not necessary to use the "console codes" for the player.This can bring different game modes, and different gaming experiences, with different ways to play the "Strategy".This can also be directly integrated in the game setting options possibly. ***** If that is not possible, consider it as a request. *****
There is the ability to see the starting position of other players. Perhaps you can make an every turn trigger, which initiates/triggers the ability. This might only reveal colonized planets.
In the console, I think the FOWTRANS command may do what I think you're asking for - it lets you see all the planets, resources, etc, but doesn't actually remove the fog of war for ships and other mobile objects, afaik.So it looks like there's support for something like that, although I have no idea whether it's something that can be built into a mod.
@pendrokar, @BigBadBThanks for your responses, and also in the other Modding topics for you pendrokar. My questions and proposals are also intended so that the devs can think about it, and perhaps, if it's not too complicated, to implement it in the game engine. At this time, as the game keeps crashing on my PC, I'll stop doing tests for modding until the next version of the game.
Hit the tilde key and type fow and start the next turn as that's what Paul does on the dev streams you can also type soak to make the game play automatically But be warned doing this invalidates the games score for the hall of fame.
