Modding Warlord's Weapons

[doncarlosx]

Hi, I just got the Relic Developer's tools and I'm trying to figure out how to modify ship weapons. I've unpacked Homeworld2.big and the warlords0.45.big into the data directory. When I open the weapon tuning spreadsheet however the only weapons listed are the old homeworld ones, and I'd like to modify the new star wars ones. Thanks!

Thats because the Relic tools stink... You can edit weapons just by using notepad if you know what each of the numerical values mean, which is easy to figure out if you look at the spreadsheet. They're in the same order.

 

Of course I must wonder what EvilleJedi thinks about this topic.

Yep this is what I thought. I just kinda hoped there'd be a less mind numbing way =) Unless I'm mistaken (which is pretty often) Eville has made a ton of weapons to be changed. My hope was to bump up beam weapons strength and tone down missiles a bit, because I'm finding things like the Bothan cruiser can destroy just about any other reasonable ship without effort because of their loadout. I much prefer the Star Destroyer and Mon Cal unloading beams into each other fight.

Eville's already working on rebalancing weapons. So talk to him if you have any concerns. Usually he's around the chat room.
