Perimeter

Here's a table I put together for this highly underrated strategy game.
I used the game available on GOG: v1.0.0.1 (installer tagged as 2.0.0.10).
But, it is an AOB table, so it might work with versions other than this.

The table includes:
- Energy hack (takes into account the player's main frame only, ignores additional collectors and enemy frame).
- Spiral charge hack (for both friend or foe, separately).
- Infinite health (for friendlies). Note: you might see some units disappearing, but when you transform the units, they'll be back. Does not protect units with 0 health (i.e. newly placed structures).
- One-hit-kill (for foes). Note: This kills the enemy frame in one shot as well, so keep your distance while enabled!
- Fast building (for friendlies - not for units, just buildings and their upgrades). Note: You'll still need Buildmasters and the energy bubbles, but it'll complete real fast.

Energy, spiral charge, and one-hit kills may have some undesired side-effects depending on how the scenario is scripted, so these options are disabled by default. God mode and fast building appears to have no side-effects, so these are enabled by default; you can get pretty much any mission done with these two alone...

Use the Booleans to turn features on (set to 1)/off (set to 0) or edit the defaults in the script to make it permanent.

Update #1
Added fast building.

Could I get an updated table or help updating it myself? I can't even find the location for the energy... found like 5 different locations for the shown level, but not the actual var...

v1.03 (on Steam if it matters)

+1 for update (for Steam or GOG release).

I have random luck finding energy. For some reason the address is impossible for me to find when the energy is below 10k. I tried finding unit limit as well but no luck there either.
I used the GOG version.

This is not dependent on the platform though. 10-12 years ago I had the same issue hacking this game with Artmoney, hehe.

There is not a single location for energy. It's added up from parts stored in various buildings.
Hacking the frame is what I opted for.

Here's a table for 1.03 on GOG.com
Might work on Steam too.

If it does not work, debug it a bit and see if you can fix it.

@Csimbi,
Thanks for the table. Works fine.
BTW, can you make a similar table for "Emperor's Testament" add-on?
