X-Perience Mod A9/A10 1970

Description
Hello there,

with the release of Alpha 9 the problem occured of outdated, not supported or half-finished mods, that were very fun to play with, so I created this one from the scratch and overhauled nearly everything, including the descriptions.
Without the mods the experience felt at this stage is dropping by a few levels, thus I built this mod on real history as close as possible, changing some values for better gameplay of course, therefore the name "X-Perience".

Full working on all Alpha 9 versions / Usable with Alpha 10, but with limitations (see below info) A-10 Version is now ready: A-10 Mod

Features included:
  • Real name companies and product names for each category are implemented!
  • Over 2100 possible combinations, with 600 researches and over a 1200 features available.
  • Starting year can be choosen from 1970 - 2050 in 5 year steps (only Alpha 9). Every year is filled with several new features, researches and new categories till 2050, filled with some easter eggs for a longer gameplay.
  • Harder Difficulty with re-balanced sales for all products. It is not so easy to make billions of money anymore, but still possible.
Categories available on different years are showing up at the years in brackets:
  • Computer/Console OS (1970)
  • 2D/3D Graphics (1970 and 3D at 1994)
  • Audio (1970)
  • Game Engine (1970)
  • Game with 9 Subgenres (5 from the beginning / Jump ’n’ Run 1981 / Hack & Slay 1985 / Beat ’em up 1987 and Shooter 1995)
  • Antivirus (1985)
  • Office (1970)
  • Hardware like Mainboard (1970) / Processor (1970) / Graphic Card(1997) / Memory(1970) / Storage (1986) / Disk Drives (First at 1976) / Power Supply Unit(1970) / Cooler(1970) / Case (1970) etc.
  • Virtual Reality (2020)
  • Lightsaber (2025)
  • Robots (2030)
  • Building customized consoles and computers (1970)
  • Input Devices (1970)
  • Display (CRT 1970 / Flat-Panel 1995)
  • Browser (1992)
  • Game Platform (2003)
  • Hosting Service (1999)
  • Packaging & Design (1970)
For starting the mod you have to start a new game, click in the line “X-Perience Mod” on “toggle” on the lower right corner, so that a “Yes” is shown in the field "enabled".
Alpha 9 specific: On the top right corner in the field “Scenario” you have to choose “X-Perience”. Then define the starting year and money.

Update 02.10.2018: This is most likely the last update for the A9 Version. For this I completely overhauled and polished every line of code. I fixed several bugs and mistakes that I found. Also added 3 new categories with many features and researches.
Also I aligned the code from solely working on A9, so that it is possible to start from "1970" for A9 (via scenario) and A10 (via separate dll mod). I intend to change this A9 version to a general version that can be used to start from 1970 for all alphas, as far as compatibility allows me to.

Update on 05.07.2019:
It's already 6 months since the last update now, but don't be afraid. I haven't forgotten and will update it in the future again. A short information for what is going on now:
As A11 is around the not so far corner anymore (expected release time currently 3-6 months), I will stop updating A9 & A10 for now. This is due to the complete new modding language that will come with it, that breaks all previous mods completely.
I have to start from the scratch again for A11 and will focus now on getting a more clear idea for the new things I want to implement.

Update 29.10.2018 & 12.01.2019: A9 is only identical with A10 V 1.2. Everything from 1.3 is not included in A9!
The main difference is the starting date from Software (A9/A10 begins from 1970 and A10 only begins from 1980).

Alpha 10 has no longer scenarios, therefore a starting year can no longer be chosen! A comfortable, easy work around for everyone is not possible, so I created a new A10 mod and changed the starting date from every software to 1980.


If you find some bugs, failures or have questions you can post them in the thread.

Latest update released on 02.10.2018. More information can be found in the updated description as always.

Well, that is one of the problems with the current stage of this game. You can't define the end price for a product. It is calculated with a formula, based on the chosen features and a few other variables.
For balancing and difficulty reasons, there is actually no possibility to have real prices for the products. As soon as this is possible, I'll change that in my mod.

In A9 this won't come, because the dev is actually finalizing A10 and already partly works on A11.

Seems wierd that a case fan sells for 60$, but a case with that same fan will not sell at 60$. Maybe it's a balance issue, but I set the case to be 70$ as that makes logical sense, but it won't sell a single copy.

Excellent, appreciate the hard work you've already done. Had a quick look at the mod and it looks well detailed. Thanks for the quick response.

Nobody expected that scenarios would be removed, I think the developer won't be adding them again so soon, if ever. A customized A10 version is the next thing on my agenda. For that I have to go through every feature before 1980 and relocate it with everything other that follows behind.
As of now, you can use it all the while, since "only" the first 10 years are missing.

That could take a while, so I guess around May would be realistic, according to how smooth it goes. Thus I suggest you to not wait and play^^
A completely new category for software will also be ready with the A10 version, since I finished it already to 60%.

I took a break from SoftwareInc A9 until A10 was up, Found quite of few of the mods no longer work, so searching again and found this one - Looks very nice. Pity about the starting year, would love to start in 1970. Have you spoken with the developer about how to go about setting it to 1970.

Any idea when the A10 version will be availble, I don't really like restarting again if it's going to be a day or two I can wait :)

No, you have to start a new game, since game mechanics only allow a mod to be updated with a new game. An "upgrade" with an existing savegame it afaik not possible, though it would be great if it would be implemented in the future.

I mainly wanted the fix to the 'skipping design' bug. it would be great if i can apply the fix to my save game. thanks btw
