Insider questions (txt files)

Post by winsrp »

So i was looking at the damage table, and I guess that the column called weaponEffect ( according to the the development txt editing section ), is used for this purpose, but I stumbled upon a question.

Is Anti-Aircraft used as a remark for all-rounders? and Shouldn't it be good to replace this with ALL-ROUNDER for code cleaning purposes?

Regards

Another question

How does weight and engine define speed on a vehicle based on its body? since propulsion only give you a % speed multiplier and a cap speed? whats the formula?

another question what is the file reseachstruct.txt for? it only has this line

R-Defense-Tower01,A0CommandCentre,0

I'm wild guessing that it says that in oder to research the R-Defense-Tower01, the A0CommandCentre must be built? is that so?

Used for what purpose? o_O

Yes.

That would break savegame compatibility, netcode compatibility, mod compatibility, and cause a whole bunch of other issues.

...I already posted the formula.

baseSpeed is max of:
either: bodyEngine * bodySizeMult * propMult / totalWeight
or: propMaxSpeed

speed is baseSpeed * experienceMult.

tx for the info Zarel.

OK shooting another questions, I saw that for buildings there is a parameter for the resistance to nexus capture attacks? but I did not see a similar stat for neither weapons, bodies or propulsions... where can I change this?

I dunno. I think they always start at 0.

too bad, I would love to change some of the nexus things, the other day I played in debug mod, and put 30 of these towers next to each other... and wow..... now we were stealing units, Still I do believe in worth units and not needing 50 of something to make things happen. I like units slow and deadly and not fast and useless.
