two files to look at initialworld ini this is the exact piece you are looking for in that file then you will pick friends and enemys of xinos

this deals with you kill this group in mission and your rep changes or if you kill certain groups to get on the xinos good side just play with the numbers

What you want is the "ids_info" number for the faction from the initialworld.ini, the number points to an entry in the INFOCARDS.DLL, the Xeno's entry looks like this:
<pre><font size=1 face=Courier>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?><RDL><PUSH/><TRA data="1" mask="1" def="-2"/><TEXT>ALLIES:  </TEXT><PARA/>
<TRA data="0" mask="1" def="-1"/><TEXT>None</TEXT><PARA/><TRA data="1" mask="1" def="-2"/><TEXT> </TEXT><PARA/><TEXT>ENEMIES: </TEXT><PARA/>
<TRA data="0" mask="1" def="-1"/><TEXT>Everyone else except the Zoners and the IMG</TEXT><PARA/><TEXT> </TEXT><PARA/>
<TEXT>The Xenos are a loosely affiliated terrorist organization opposed to any trade or other interaction with foreign entities.</TEXT><PARA/><POP/></RDL>
</font></pre>

You need a program like Fled IDs or reshacker to edit the DLL.

**shuffles off with a new headache**

imho the easiest way is to replace the "ids_info = 66218" with a small script.

If you want to learn, how 2 do that, get Argh's XML Toolkit Mod and have a look at it.

The scripts are full of helpfull comments and you can use the stuff 4 your own mod,
if you give poper credits 2 Argh.
