weapon editing problems

Fri Apr 16, 2004 12:01 pm by shadow_phoenix

Hi guys im a newbie in modding, only 3 days to be exact. I've come accross me first problem

i cant firgure out how to change the damage that the weapons do. I've gone through the tut posted by "parabolix"(Good tut by the way). I've got me own weapon in the game with info card and all, and it works fine i can buy it on manhattan, change the refire rate, the velocity etc, except with all my efforts i just cant get the hull and shield damage to change. Is there some other file that needs to be changed? Also when doin the tut i copyied a existing weapon and changed the name, is that maybe what is wrong?

The last thing is i cant change the visual effects of the weapons bullets and that is the major part that i wanted to be able to do

are there any known problems that newbies tend to make?

thnx for any help anyone can give.

dont worry about the effects problem i had i managed to figure out how to fix the problem the tutorial didnt mention that in the weapon_equip file i had to change the projectile_archtype. Many thnxs to xxx for pointing out this fact to me

. The only thing i need help with is changing the damage that the projectile does. As before an help that u can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thnx
