Hacking Word Count
From GECK
< Settings
wordCount = ((1 - (Science Offset / Lock Offset)) * (iHackingMaxWords - iHackingMinWords)) + iHackingMinWords
Science Offset = PlayerScienceSkill - Lock Level
Lock Offset = 100 - Lock Level
Lock Level = (Lock Level Setting * fHackLevelMult) * 100
Game settings used in these formulae
| Setting | Default | Description |
| iHackingMaxWords | 20 | The maximum amount of words that appear when hacking a terminal. |
| iHackingMinWords | 5 | The minimum amount of words that appear when hacking a terminal. |
| iXPLevelHackComputerVeryEasy | 0 | Used for determining the StandardizedLockLevel calculation. |
| iXPLevelHackComputerEasy | 1 | Used for determining the StandardizedLockLevel calculation. |
| iXPLevelHackComputerAverage | 2 | Used for determining the StandardizedLockLevel calculation. |
| iXPLevelHackComputerHard | 3 | Used for determining the StandardizedLockLevel calculation. |
| iXPLevelHackComputerVeryHard | 4 | Used for determining the StandardizedLockLevel calculation. |
| fHackLevelMult | 0.25 | Used for determining the StandardizedLockLevel calculation. |
Notes
- When the lockOffset is 0 (aka when hacking a Very Hard terminal), the (scienceOffset / lockOffset) part of the formula is completely replaced with a flat value of 0.5.
- The engine will max out the word count when hacking a terminal at 20, regardless of settings or skill.
