Hi all. I've compiled some notes on using debug mode editing. They're rough, just a dump of the notes I've been making for myself, but I thought I'd share them.

Shadow Empire debug notes

• Characters: tables 132, 133, and 321
• Factions: tables 136, 138
• Regime Techs: table 123 ...

Oops, refused to discover, yes. Never noticed it doing this when I haven't gotten my air force research council yet before in previous games. Okay, thanks, I'll get an air force council to work around it.

Seems a bit weird, though -- if it's WAD, I'd suggest it be corrected to avoid or decrease the ...

In my latest playthrough on current beta 1.11.08, I've noticed my military research council has steadfastly refused to research anything but air techs. I've saved/reloaded much to see if it will do otherwise, but it seems quite stuck on it. Haven't seen that happen before. As much as I want ...

I've found myself wishing for this too.

<r> I posted this in the English corrections thread, but am cross-posting the matter here as well for what looks like a bug.<br/>
<br/>
In the event screenshotted below, it looks like there are two related problems. First, it shows no skill/stat that affects the roll -- as far as I've seen ...

I'll report that aspect of this as a bug in the appropriate subforum then.

This would be nice. "Human" belongs in no one's name, ever.

<t> I've never seen a roll which is 100% the same every reload. Well, I should say, difficulty numbers are pre-rolled and will not change. But the actual roll the player's commander makes always has some random element to it. This is the first time since I started playing SE that the roll is always ...

(consolidated both posts and images into above post)

<r> This is not only a textual correction, but apparently a couple of game-mechanic discrepancies as well.<br/>

<t> If I select the Expel Diplomats card, and then go through my targets, I notice the following:<br/>
<br/>
Nation 1: Relation 95 / FRIENDS. Cultural exchange, free trade and joint effort established. "EXECUTE STRATAGEM" is available for this nation -- it's a valid target.<br/>
<br/>
Nation 2 ...

Will do. Thanks.

<t> Not sure if this is a bug or not, so starting here.<br/>

Ah, the old "I'm just being honest" defense of being callously disrespectful. Agreed. I'll keep this in mind and avoid further discussion with you.

Ahh okay, thanks.

Wow, that's a really passive-aggressive way to say that.

I have to agree that the tech discovery requirement is a really cool mechanic -- I'd personally prefer the rough edges of it be smoothed rather than the system be fundamentally changed.

<t> There's another workaround in Windows 10 -- virtual desktops. It's sort of the next step up from Alt-Tabbing.<br/>
<br/>
CTRL + Windows Key + D<br/>
Creates a new virtual desktop -- pressing this multiple times creates multiple extra desktops<br/>

CTRL + Windows Key + Left or Right ...

<r> So first time I've seen this. Just completed my nation's first artillery redesign. Same howitzer gun size -- 60mm -- and the weapon roll was better this time. But as you can see from the image, the numbers just went down to levels worst than the first. Anyone know what gives? Checking here ...

Same. Within a few seconds after autosave completes -- and might be just my imagination, but autosave takes a little longer than I'm used to when it does this? I can forward my save to you as well if it helps.

<r> This dialog is a little unclear.<br/>

<I><s>[i]</s>Our intel operatives are receiving disturbing reports from Hochavia. It seems that mysterious mercenaries are joining their forces. They must be building up for an attack on federation. If you make a public announcement that we intend to ...
