Mistrider Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Hi, I'm trying to mod a few things, into my game, but I'm not sure how to get them working. Where do I find the buildable structures for each faction(ion cannons, barrack, factories, etc.) I want to modify their build times and garrison amounts. Also, how do I change the damage a single shot from each unit does? I've tried changing the damage value in the .xml files but it doesn't seem to have an effect. Thanks in advance for the help.

Bodin Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 1. I'm not sure, but I think editing the SpecialStructures.xml will do it. I never tried it, let me know if it works. 2. Change the line of the unit. BODiNEmpire at War ModderPFF Moderator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistrider Posted February 19, 2006 Author Share Posted February 19, 2006 ok, thanks. The special structures editing worked, space stations are in starbases.xml if anyone needs them. Still can't see a difference when I change the value of the damage tags. And when he reaches Heaven,To St. Peter he will tell,"Just another soldier reporting Sir,I've served my time in Hell."

akulapanam Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Damage DOES NOT CONTROL how much damage each shot does. Particle Damage in the hardpoint and particles files do when factored against the damage in the gameconstants.xml file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodin Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Weird, the ISD was powerful, it destroyed Mon Cals very easy. ??? BODiNEmpire at War ModderPFF Moderator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akulapanam Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Its totally based on the power of the weapons, the reason that is still in the game is that it is used by the AI as a factor. There is a note to that extent in one of the unit xml files, as soon as I find it I will post it. If you don't believe me try setting damage to 1 on the ISD and watch its power remain unchanged. Then change the Particle damage to around 2000 and watch as ships are destroyed with one or two shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistrider Posted February 20, 2006 Author Share Posted February 20, 2006 not done thoroughly testing, but I think I found the damage stats(modified the infiltrator stats against armor types in the gameconstants file. But for some reason I can't get the game to utilize the spaceunitsfighters.xml file. I've gotten every single unit in the game except fighters to have a different build time(0 for testing purposes) but the fighters just won't take. also, X-Wings don't have a tag in their XML.

Mistrider Posted February 20, 2006 Author Share Posted February 20, 2006 Could someone help me figure out why the game isn't utilizing the modified build times in the xml I have attached? If you figure it out, could you attach a working version of the file, thanks. And when he reaches Heaven,To St. Peter he will tell,"Just another soldier reporting Sir,I've served my time in Hell."

Joebwan Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Could someone help me figure out why the game isn't utilizing the modified build times in the xml I have attached? If you figure it out, could you attach a working version of the file, thanks. There are two different build time XML tags -- one for solo play and one for skirmish play. Make sure you are modifying the right one. Petroglyph Lead DesignerLas Vegas. Nevada, USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarkis Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 For fighters you have to change build values in squadron.xml, because you build squadrons, not individual fighters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
