This is just idea here. I thought about it some time ago and now I wonder how much interest would be for it.
So it would go like this:
1) A separate application would be launched before smac/x and it would allow the player to define its preferences for factions, so they would be more challenging.
New-more challenging faction files would be created instantly, original ones would be temporarily backed up, then new would replace original faction files in root gme folder. Possible alphax.txt might be replaced too in order to define at this stage pre-defined units too. What I mean, player might build here his/her own set of these units - probe cruiser, attack copter, x-missile, police unit etc.
2) smac/x might be launched from within this application. Player would then start a game using these modified faction files.
The atributes from these modified files would be then imprinted into the game, the same as pre-defined unit set from alpha/x.txt.
3) Crucial point, after the game launch, the application would need to insert backed up files to root folder. So player would need to ALT-TAB to it for example, or just do it after quiting game session and closing smac/x.
Only difficulty here - possibility to forget it...
So would there be any interest in such a thing?
