Invisible Inc: Challenge Mode

Descriere
Gives agents a custom firewall hacking ability to replace or complement Incognita.

Content
- Slow hacking: end the turn while hacking an object to break X number of firewalls by the next turn (X scales with Hacking skill).
- Fast hacking: spend 3 PWR to break X number of firewalls instantly. This method is fast but sloppy and will automatically trigger a Castle daemon, causing other firewalls to rise.
- Daemon sniff: end turn while daemon sniffing a device to identify any daemon on it. Only available at Hacking skill 3 or more. At Hacking skill 5, the ability immediately "kills" the daemon instead of identifying it.
-Incognita status: Choose between different Incognita settings. No change (vanilla), LOS-limited hacking (Incognita can only hack devices the player can directly see), Disabled (full, permanent lockdown).
-Hack cameras and turrets: Restrict Incognita's hacking to cameras and turrets only. Can be combined freely with the Incognita status setting.
-PWR cost for slow hacking: Slow hacking and daemon sniffing can have a PWR cost, set to 2 by default. Customise this based on the other options you pick for the best balance. As a rule of thumb, if you start with no PWR generator program, you probably want slow hacking to be free or almost free. But it's up to you!

Notes
- You can manually hack any device you can physically reach. This includes sound bugs, drones, cameras, and guards with firewalls.
- Increase your Hacking skill to increase the number of firewalls broken: 1 firewall at level 1, 2 firewalls as of level 2, and 3 firewalls as of level 4.
- You can begin a "slow" hack on a guard or drone but will not make any progress with it if the target moves away by the next turn.
- Even in lockdown mode, you can still benefit from passive programs. So if you want a true Incognita-less experience, I recommend starting with a program like Fusion or Seed (or maybe Void from Programs Extended by wodzu_93).

Planned updates
Custom items to disable cameras, blind drones, and evade local scans, as well as deal with other situations you might have trouble tackling without your programs.

What's the point of this mod?
Hacking plays an important role in games with more "classic" cyberpunk mechanics: You usually have a dedicated hacker character, so getting them to the objective and buying them enough time to complete the hack becomes an important part of your strategy. By handing the bulk of the hacking to Incognita and letting you hack remotely, Invisible Inc makes Hacking an almost ornamental skill for agents. It's useful for certain items and for getting extra PWR, but it's hardly crucial. This mod aims to change this core gameplay mechanic in a way that's (hopefully) still fun, but pits you directly against the enemy's cybersecurity with no super-AI at your beck and call.

@MiraPrime An overhaul I'm considering having Incognita hacking only be available when the agent is using a console or laptop, with no LOS limitation but a range limitation. I like the idea of making the camera database more relevant, too.

@hekateras, no need to apologize, at all! I'm having a great time with the mod. It's made me approach the game in a completely different way. Thank you so much for making it!
I wonder if maybe allowing the player to hack cameras once they've taken over the camera database would work. Or maybe give options to reveal the cameras or allow Incognita to hack them.

@MiraPrime I'm glad you like the mod! Short of playing with the LOS-limited Incognita setting, there's no good way to deal with cameras using agent hacking only, as of yet. I have some ideas for expanding or overhauling the mod, but it's been on the back burner, sorry.

I love this mod, but I haven't figured how to hack cameras without being spotted by them.

@ Hekateras
Thx for the quick reply.
Haven't actually finished Dragonfall either.^^ I'm a total fool for the Infinite-mod. Reminds me of the way i used to play the pen&paper version with my friends back in the 90's.
Looking forward to check your new stuff, keep it up!

@D€NIABLE A$$ET
Thanks! :D I'm working on some custom items as well so stay tuned. And damn, I really should finish Shadowrun: Dragonfall...
And yes, it's compatible with Programs Extended.

One fine mod, as an old Shadowrun-nerd i appreciate it. :lunar2019coolpig:Thanx!
Btw, does this work with Extended Programs mod?

Thanks for the feedback! ^^
Hekateras  [autor] 25 mart. 2020 la 6:37 
Oh, sure, I'll do that.

I meant adding it in the mod description.
