Weapon equip new entry
-
Hi all,
I made a new entry in weapon_equip and weapon_goods.ini, it is just a blaster with modified projectile and archtype.
My problem is, at the station where i could buy this one, its infocard shows hull damage 88 shield damage 44 and doesnt matter if i modify it in the weapon_equip.ini, these numbers never change. (not just the numbers, the hit points neither)
I made a new infocard, refire rate, etc… and everything works fine except this hull/shield damage.Thanks in advance,

would be more helpful if you post your weapon_equip entry for the particular weapon you are referring to.

Check ye weaponmoddb.ini in equipment folder m8.
This links into -> weapon_type = *******
might hold some answers for you?

shop_archetype = equipment\models\weapons\co_raildaddy.cmp
material_library = equipment\models\ge_equip.mat@Xarian m8: This weapon came from the original special_nomad_gun01, with some modifications. In this example it has no specific type in weaponmoddb like the original, but i tried this with the justice mk1 and many more, those weapons have entries in weaponmoddb.ini but it means how much damages could get the assigned hull/shield hit points of the weapons on different shield types with factors i think.
I have tried to modify vanilla weapons with same modifications, and that worked properly, but if i want to make new entry for a new weapon, that doesnt works.
Maybe its hardcoded?Thanks in advance,

Here’s it is:
Weapon_equip.ini
Change “projectile_archetype = lair_turret02_ammo” to “projectile_archetype = special_nomad_gun04_ammo” in the Gun block. That’s why you have misleading stats, because you refer to another projectile/ammo
I’m not sure whether it’s the forums or your code, but in Weapon_Goods.ini make sure that item_icon has the path to the icon specified after the = in the same line and not under it!
You can also make all the weapons you want! There’s no hardcoded limit! Also a weapon doesn’t have to use “weapon_type = x”! If you omit this it will do 1.000000 damage (100 %, no bonuses or penalties)

Is that right as i thought weapons damage is all based on this entry in Constants.ini as far as i’m aware
[ShieldEquipConsts]
HULL_DAMAGE_FACTOR = 0.500000This means that whatever you set your damage to
hull_damage = 1000
the weapon will always do 50% damage to shields.
For some ppl this is fine but these days i prefer to do things differently and have proper shield weapons that only do damage to shields and defined hull weapons that only do damage to hulls. Redefines FL a bit but makes loadouts more interesting. If you set the entry in Constants to
[ShieldEquipConsts]
HULL_DAMAGE_FACTOR = 0then weapons actually behave like they should. Legion is quite right, you don’t have to define a weapon type. You can do but not always needed

Oh yeah oups… I forgot about the constants part!
Actually set that to 0 myself to make my weapons work as they should (EMP = Shield/energy damage, Kinetic weapons = hull only, and 1 shield type)You can make some very interessting things with WeaponModDB.ini

I cant decide, if im getting old, blind, or simply idiot, but you’re right.
That row i didnt spot. Of course thats wrong entry.Thanks mate

Thanks the tutorial Gibbon! It does look like the armor scale of the npc ships doesnt it? So if i want to make new entry in shields i should follow same method as in weapon entry.
