[Mod] Weapon Pack

[Max Bain]

Max,
its a great mod,
but i do have a request if i may.

I am not using vro mod (yet!) and the turrets are way toooo powerful. my raddlesnake just decimated a xenon I and xenon K in just 2-3 mins. not fair

i cant ask you to make another nurfed version,
so,
can you please tell me what to change to make the damage like half of what the current values are?

many thanks.

Hi,

glad you like it.
Im sorry that I only offer the VRO version, but I have already too many mods that I have to support and I want to give as good support to all my mods as possible.

If you want to lower the damage that is very easy. You need to extract the .cat files if you downloaded the mod from steam with the XR Cat tool from Egosoft or you download the mod from Nexus which comes extracted already.
After that you go to this folder:

Code: Select all

WeaponPack\assets\fx\weaponfx\macros

In these macros you will find the damage values for all weapons in this mod.
Just lower the damage, rate of fire or reduce the range to your liking.

I think that you dont even need to pack the file back to a .cat version to play the mod (Windows 7 is an exception I believe).

Enjoy!

Many thanks Max,
will change the damage and ranges..

Also,
I think there is something weird going on with one of your M turrets..dont remember exactly which one, but it is classified as a M turret and in encyclopedia it shows as an L and even when you install it on a M turret it says "L turret" even though its an M turret..dont know if that was intended..take a look if you have the time..

[Max Bain]

There is one turret that is an M turret but only fits on L ships (I think its the M Plasma Artillery but not 100% sure). This is intended or do you mean something else? If you can tell me the exact turret I can have a look at it and see if its correct or not.

There are several that are like this, I believe the same is true with the 280mm autocannon. They're M turrets but are only for use on L ships. Somewhere on one of the mod pages (probably on nexus) the reasoning behind this is explained but I can't remember exactly what it was off the top of my head.

No i think thats not it.

You have 3 Medium turrets. Out of the 3 I can only fit the 280mm canon on my Dragon. I think this is what you intended.
The weird one in the Argon M rapid fire something..Only the ARG . this does not happen with the SPL ( I think! )

In the encyclopedia there are two ARG L rapid fire weapons, (for some reason)
and when you fit one on an L ship, instead of saying "ARG M Rapid fire ..." it says "ARG L rapid fire..."

i am not sure whats going on there..I hope I make some sense..

I just uploaded a new version with many changes.

I also added argon Quad Pulse Laser Cutter:

Hi, I think the 1.1.7 version on Nexus is not good because it is only 1.8MB instead of 4MB. I'm also trying to translate it into French and I see that there is only the
- Large / Medium Plasma Artillery
- Intimidator
- Rapid Plasma Cannon
- 280mm Autocannon

The file size is OK, the mod is not very large and it is compressed.
But what do you mean there are just these 4 weapons? Are you talking about the text file? The weapons in game? Keep in mind that not each race/faction has all weapons available.

I will (hopefully) soon upload the new version with terran weapons.
Maybe you can use this file https://www.dropbox.com/s/8zb3kcts5ux82e2/0001.xml?dl=0 to create the frensh translation? If you can send it to me within the next hours, I could put the frensh translation into it with the next update.

Ok strange. But it should be fixed with the next version anyway.

I really want to use this too ad more weaoon variety to my game but I do not run VRO so is it still worth picking up if I am playing Vanilla?

It will definitely bring some overpowered turrets into your game. However, the AI also uses these, so it is not a "I win" button. But for example ranges of all of the weapons from this pack are higher than most weapons from vanilla. They also cost more but still, I would say they are a bit overpowered.
But I have no real vanilla game experience with this mod, so you better try it out yourself and make a save before maybe?

This is a great weapon mod pack but as someone who plays with a headset all the time I had to go in and edit the sound files as they were blowing my ears out especially the Intimidator.

[alexalsp]

How does this mod work with game versions 4.1 - 4.2?

[RedEyedRaven]

Been using it since 3.30, now on 4.10. I didn't have any issues.

[Warnoise]

Hi I'm playing a vro game, I have a couple of questions:

1-can I install this in an ongoing vro game?
2-If I install in an ongoing game, will the ai also equip the new weapons?

Thanks

Edit: I installed the mod in ongoing game where paranoid were united and became one. It seems that only them don't get the weapons in this pack
