Where do you edit cruise engine speed?

Mon Aug 08, 2005 5:40 pm by RaphMyst

Hi there,

I'm in the process of making my own mod and I did some speed adjustments to all of the ships in the game (since I believe 80kph is rediculously slow for each ship in the game.) However when I upped their speed a bit, it makes it harder to avoid persuing ships by hitting your cruise. This can get annoying when you're in a weaker ship trying to survive. So I wanted to bump the cruise speed up to 400 which should do the trick, but I can't find the file that needs to be edited. Does anyone know which file this is? Thanks in advance.

With speed lower to 990, simply open "constants.ini" and add :

CRUISING_SPEED = XXX

under :

[EngineEquipConsts

That will do it

I did, and it didn't work =/ This is the file:

[Constants
COLLISION_DAMAGE_FACTOR = 0.500000
MUSIC_CROSS_FADE_DELAY = 10.000000
MUZZLE_CONE_ANGLE = 40
PLAYER_COLLISION_GROUP_HIT_PTS_SCALE = 3
PLAYER_ATTACHED_EQUIP_HIT_PTS_SCALE = 5

[EngineEquipConsts
CRUISING_SPEED = 400 <----- What I added
CRUISE_DISRUPT_TIME = 5
MAX_DELTA_FX_THROTTLE = 0.250000
THROTTLE_STEADY_TIME = 0.500000
THROTTLE_ATTEN_MOD_RANGE = 8.000000
DELTA_THROTTLE_ATTEN_MOD_CHANGING = 8.000000
DELTA_THROTTLE_ATTEN_MOD_STEADY = -1.000000
CRUISE_STEADY_TIME = 2.000000
DELTA_CRUISE_ATTEN_MOD_STEADY = -1.000000
CRUISE_ATTEN_MOD_RANGE = 8.000000

[ShieldEquipConsts
HULL_DAMAGE_FACTOR = 0.500000

[PhySysConsts
MATERIAL_FRICTION = 0.100000
MATERIAL_ELASTICITY = 0.900000
DEFAULT_LINEAR_DAMPING = 0.500000
DEFAULT_ANGULAR_DAMPING = 0.200000, 0.200000, 0.200000

[CommConsts
COMM_PLAYER_FAR_DIST = 6000.000000
COMM_PLAYER_FAR_DIST_ATTEN = 0.000000
CHATTER_MAX_DIST = 3500.000000
CHATTER_MAX_DIST_ATTEN = -16.000000
CHATTER_START_ATTEN = -2.000000
COMM_CONFLICT_PRIORITY_CUTOFF = -3
WALLA_MAX_DIST = 3500.000000
WALLA_MAX_DIST_ATTEN = -24.000000
WALLA_START_ATTEN = -8.000000
WALLA_PRIORITY_CUTOFF = -3

[AsteroidConsts
MAX_ASTEROID_LOOT_DAMAGE = 20000.000000
MAX_LOOT_PER_ASTEROID = 3

Edit: I figured it out, even though it says I'm going 300 in the game, I'm really going 400. Cause I boosted it to 800 and noticed I was going WAYY fast lol. So at least it works, but how can I get it to read 400 in the game? Any ideas?

Yes, there's an EXE hack that you can do with a hex-editor that fixes this- it's in the Tutorials section
