New Organizations

[Lithium]

Ok I stumbled onto a file in the mxo directory called sponsors.xml

basically it defines all mission contacts a section which includes Organization Contacts.

Code: [Select]

<!-- Org contacts -->
<contact id="2000" org="1"
name="Tyndall" name-id="0xb4000031" code="tyn"
face="0x28000CC0"
max-rep="0"
intro-text-id="0" />
<contact id="2001" org="2"
name="Agent Gray" name-id="0xb4000032" code="gra"
face="0x28000DE7"
max-rep="0"
intro-text-id="0x26000011" />
<contact id="2002" org="3"
name="Flood" name-id="0xb4000038" code="flo"

Hmmm. so I count 4 more other contacts other than grey, flood and tyndall. Nice find.

[Anonymous]

How many contacts have you gone to? Because in beta that file was filled with a ton of my contacts with the same info.

[Avzeke (Khr0n1k)]

yeah i saw that file back in beta.

well if agent grey really got whacked they will need to replace him with someone else... so theres and explanation for 1, but what about the others? hmmm

[Anonymous]

good find, reverse engineering/tinkering  is fun!

Yeah, I don't think this has to do with internal game contacts (like Chessman). But I could be wrong. Look at the ORG ID... I would suggest that some Zion contacts in-game would also have ORG ID as 1, but it clearly shows more than 3 here.

Of course, it could be more to dictate database levels, which set of "quests" are available from that contact... so not sure yet.

Note: Chessman is under organisation UNKNOWN I think in-game.

Anome is the operator for Niobe's faction. In the critical mission pack, one of Niobe's guys mentions how "Our operator Anome isn't as uptight as that Tyndall".
