Use the map compiler in the SE5\Utilities folder.

All I have is Scriptparser, shipsetviewer, and techchart.

Make sure to update to 1.35.

Ok, can someone explain how to change dmg and rng on a weapon? Feel free to use the DUC as a example.

The formulae are pretty straight forward.
The game just plugs in the values for [%Range%] and [%Level%], and out comes the number.
The range at which the weapon does zero damage is its maximum range.

So if you said a formula of := 35
The weapon would do 35 damge period, independent of range or tech level. (Although there is a hardcoded limit of range 500)

:= 35 - [%Range%]
would make a weapon which does 35 at range zero, and fades linearly to nothing at range 35.

More common is to use the iif(condition, true, false) structure.
:= iif ([%Range%] < 80, 100, 0)
So the weapon deals 100 damage out to range 80, then drops to zero beyond that.

Nest your iifs, use square roots, whatever you like.

don't worry about trying to understand aaron's forumulas, they are unnessasrily complex.
