Altering Ship Characteristics

Hello,

I was wondering how you change the top speed of the ships? and other characteristics?

You can change the skins, but I never thought about changing speed limitations. I guess it's a value in some file that can be changed, but I never tried it. Timetraveller or East may have a definite answer though.

Hello,
I was wondering how you change the top speed of the ships? and other characteristics?

The vehicledata.txt file in the \data folder (unpack the files first) might be your answer.

TT

I've just taken a look at the source code and that would be correct: vehicledata.txt, weapondata.txt and weaponmountdata.txt are the files for altering the layout, performance, etc. for a ship and it's weapons.

AmmoDamageData.txt is used to balance various weapons against ships (allows for construction methods, etc.)

Some weapons are blocked from working on some ships, so be warned.

NOTE: These files were ad-hoc created by one of our writers who is NOT a programmer, not an analyst and not a spreadsheet guy.

I will post up a link to the spreadsheets themselves. They are then saved as txt files and put in the data.ezv files. Expect the link to be 30% delayed over whatever time I post...

Ok, I decided to get right to it. Here is the Master Excel file for the data files:

Use it wisely

Nice! Now I wonder what I can do with it.
