Quick modding question

[Zoinker]

Don't know if this has been asked before, checked a couple of pages past but didn't find anything about it.

Anyway...

Is there any way to add more than eight "special rules" (such as free tech, social engineering bonuses/penalties, free facilities etc.) to a custom faction? The SMAX faction editor only has eight slots for them and this even seems to apply when editing the text files directly, in which case only the first eight rules will be implemented and the others ignored.

I have alien crossfire with latest patch if that has anything to do with it.

thanks in advance.

I'd head over to Apolyton and see what Maniac did with his SMAniaC modpack, which is about the only one I've ever seen for this game.

I checked out that mod, but it doesn't seem to circumwent the problem.

I believe that only the first eight rules will be implemented, and IIRC they all need to be on the same line in the text file too. If you don't mind me asking - why would you need any more?

I was trying to make a faction with all ten social factors maxed out, just for the heck of it

If you really want to, you could make an unbuildable facility with +10 to all SE, and then give that building to the faction. I don't know, would that work?

That's actually a decent idea. It won't work with the faction editor alone (If at all), but I'll give it a try when I have the time. Thanks.
