    Has anyone seen a file that would give us a listing of what all of the possible constant values may be in each area (i.e. for armor types in the protos.tab file - ARMOR_TYPE_HEAVY, ARMOR_TYPE_MEDIUM, etc.) as well as something that would give us a map of what the game.global_vars[x] that are referenced through the python files all point to. With some of the other game properties it's pretty easy to see that they map a .mes file (game.quests[x] maps to gamequestlog.mes) but so far I have not found anything that lists out what each of the global vars holds.

    I have not seen anyting either, I've been looking every where, I'm affraid they may be hardcoded. Though I could be wrong.

    Yeah, I think it's likely that stuff like armor types, weapon damage types, etc. would be hard coded as there's about 0% chance of them needing additions or modifications to later on.

    have you taken a look at MultiPlayer.mes?

    last line of the file is..

    "{3003}{A newer version of Arcanum is available (and may be required for internet play), do you wish to upgrade?}"

    Made me laugh when I saw this...just how much is unchanged :)

    Thanks, thats useful info.
    though I already found four files in ToEE\semes\
    globalvars.mes
    globalflags.mes
    pcvars.mes
    pcflags.mes
    According to the Docs those should be populated but they are empty here. I think that info is now hardcoded.

    Yeah... those Edit Docs showed me how to make quests heh.

    I _really_ need the flags and variables, though... and functions.

    Wonder if we can bribe someone at Troika. :D
