The Modmaker's Guide to the Galaxy

[PvK]

Ok, I've looked over all the modding docs and I have some questions remaining. My two at the moment are:

Is it possible to mod the Hyperdrive to still be a hyperdrive but not quite so good, for example I tried:

NAME Hyperdrive
NAM2 a hyperdrive
ICON items/s_system1.jpg 23
GFXP items/l_system2.jpg 7
FLAG tech unique
DIST dead cold warm hot toxic
TEXT A ship with this special type of star drive can teleport to any star system in the sector. It also requires nearly six months to recharge.
COST 803 technology
TYPE drive
SIZE 2

DATA

PAR0 0
PAR1 0
PAR2 3000
PAR3 180

END DATA

Where PAR3 was originally 60, so I figured it was the days it takes to recharge. But it didn't work - it still takes 60 days to recharge like before. So what are those parameters?

Also, are the values for a weapon ini file documented somewhere?

Thanks,

PvK

Sorry for the late reply...

Anyway, at the Infinite Space Federatil boards there's a thread about the weapon parameters that covers it fairly well. Haven't had time to write a tutorial just yet (I'm currently serving in the Finnish army, with very little free time until summer...).

Unfortunately the hyperdrive recharge time is hardcoded at the moment. This may change in a future patch.

Where is the thread about weapon parameters? I could not
find it there.

I think this one is what I meant..
