Experiment Log! Notes for Noobs :D
-
This is a log of little things that I have messed with in FL to make things more interesting (or downright wacky!)
Got something you wish to add? post it! when (if) i find it, i’ll stick it in the main post for everyone to see, with the discoverer given credit of course[these are not in any particular order]
[2-11-15] OmniMounts - Stick that turret where you please!
Want to stick that Stealthblade Turret on your Dragon’s Gun mount? Add this line to the [Ship] section of Shiparch.ini:
hp_type = hp_turret_special_[level]
Dont forget to include the availible mounts and all included levels!
NOTE:The actual weapon mount wont allow 360 firing, you need to edit the actual hardpoint with HardCMP or a similar program. But, by the same logic, you can mess with your ship to put that Lvl 10 weapon in your turret slot![2-11-15] DONT USE .3db FILES FOR GUNS
it doesnt work.
Make sure you use a .SUR file! locate them in DATA / EQUIPMENT / MODELS / WEAPONS[2-11-15] Give sound to double-barreled turrets!
many capital/base/satellite turrets have twin-barreled cannons, and firing 2+ projectiles from the same weapon causes an issue with the game, preventing the sound files from playing properly (thankfully there is no issue with crashing)
To get that sound working, I used the HardCMP hardpoint editor to delete extra firing points. now i can drown out the screams of my enemies with these Pirate WP Turrets (i put a loud sound on them) -

Each fired projectile is independet. So you always would need to multiply the damage from the stats with the actual count of projectiles/HpFire mounts.

i had a feeling that would happen, and i actually did double their fire rate to compensate for the missing second barrel
-
An alternative (what we did on FLU) is to multiply the damage for each gun by the number of barrels and then remove the multi-fire.
