SE4 Modder Question
 

In the SE4 Modder program by David G. (which is an awsome program) when modifying components and in particilar weapons there are (3) Tabs: 1st=Damage at Range (self explanatory), 2d=Value at Range, and 3rd=Alpha Strike at Range.

What is the purpose of the 2d and 3rd options, how do they work??

Thanks

How do they work?
Just hold your mouse over them and you'll get a tooltip.

What is their use?
To compare weapons based on their range, ROF (Rate Of Fire) and their damage.

Re: SE4 Modder Question
 

ROF, Damage, and SIZE.

Oops, forgot that one. Thanks.

Re: SE4 Modder Question
 

I saw how to use the tool tip...thanks

APB1:
Damage at Range: 1=20, 2=15, 3=15 (got it.)
Value at Range: 1=.66, 2=.5, 3=.5
Alha strike at Range: 1=.66, 2=.5, 3=.5

You said it was used "To compare weapons based on their range, ROF (Rate Of Fire) and their damage"

Maybe I'm being dense...I still dont understand what it is showing me or what it is comparing..

Re: SE4 Modder Question
 

I don't know which is which, but one of Value and Alpha Strike is damage/size and the other is damage/(size*ROF).

Re: SE4 Modder Question
 

It would seem that Alpha Strike would imply the first strike (rate doesn't matter for the first shot of a weapon), seeing as "alpha" is the first letter in the Greek alphabet. It often means first, whereas "omega" tends to be Last.

Why don't we simply ask the guy who made the modder? Have him explain it.

Re: SE4 Modder Question
 

Because DavidG doesn't seem to come around very often any more...
