In Game Difficulty Scale (ranktodiff/diff2money)
Ok, so I'm looking at npcranktodiff.ini and diff2money.ini in the hopes of fine-tuning the payoffs for random missions. Unfortunately, npcranktodiff.ini is a complete and total mess. Some people have hinted at having an understanding of these files, but it doesn't look like anyone's been able to come right out and explain them.
[RankAndFormationSizeToDifficulty
NpcRank = 1, 0.009850, 0.035690, 0.077540, 0.135390, 0.209230, 0.299080, 0.404930, 0.526770
Here's the standard first line from npcranktodiff.ini. The best I can tell, the numbers after 1, are the mission difficulties in which NPCs of rank 1 can appear in. Unfortunately, I haven't the slightest clue as to how those numbers (all of which are less than 1 in this case) corrolate to the actual in game difficulty scale.
I'm going to keep picking away at this, but any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.
