How to reduce overheat on Heavy Laser

[DorianEU]

Can someone help me?

Was surprised that it wasn't in the DLC cat/dats.

You're looking for the weapon_player_beam_v2_macro.xml file in [assets\props\WeaponSystems\macros] in 08.cat/08.dat

changing this line:

Code: Select all

      <heat overheat="10000" cooldelay="1" coolrate="750" reenable="3000" />

will probably change it. Haven't tested it though.

Having said that, I think it's balanced fine. Might like your take on it better though, so I didn't vote in your poll.

[DorianEU]

Done. It Work. I make God weapon. But I need to do corections, acceptable overheat time. My first script. lol

[w.evans]

Cool! Have fun modding! But where's the download link?

And Merry Christmas!

[DorianEU]

Here he is. You can do modification as you wish.
I don't changed Damage value. He is very strong with 10.000 (original value) dps.

Here is link:

Thank you, Merry Christmas you to.

And it works! With a clear debuglog. Was a bit confused at first because you put

Code: Select all

		<heat overheat="1" />

in the bullet file, but I couldn't find it in the vanilla bullet file, and found it in the vanilla weapon file. But it works!

Could you do this with all the weapons?
Like a super weapon mod cheat?

[DorianEU]

Its possible to bay-pass regular command strings. So you can do Super weapon.

There is code for: example for Ion Cannon.

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<diff>
	<replace sel="/macros/macro[@name='bullet_player_mininglaser_mk1_macro']/properties/damage">
		<damage value="150000" repair="0" />
	</replace>
</diff>

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<diff>
	<replace sel="/macros/macro[@name='weapon_player_mining_mk1_macro']/properties/identification">
		<identification name="{90001,10}" description="{90001,11}" />
	</replace>
</diff>

How to put these two script in one ?:)

I.

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<diff>
	<replace sel="/macros/macro[@name='bullet_player_beam_v2_macro']/properties/damage">
		<damage value="50000" hull="1000" repair="0" />
	</replace>
</diff>

II.

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<diff>
	<replace sel="/macros/macro[@name='bullet_player_beam_v2_macro']/properties/heat">
		<heat overheat="1" />
			<properties>
      			<heat value="300" />
		</properties>
	  </replace>
</diff>

I install them separate. And it work btw.

[DorianEU]

Solved.

[w.evans]

Assuming that you're modifying the same file:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<diff>
  <replace sel="/macros/macro[@name='bullet_player_beam_v2_macro']/properties/heat">
    <heat overheat="1" />
    <properties>
      <heat value="300" />
    </properties>
  </replace>

  <replace sel="/macros/macro[@name='bullet_player_beam_v2_macro']/properties/damage">
    <damage value="50000" hull="1000" repair="0" />
  </replace>
</diff>

A bit confused though. Isn't

Code: Select all

    <heat overheat="1" />

under properties too? (Haven't tested it, but I don't think this does anything. You can probably remove this line and lower the <heat value="x"> value, and it should work.)

or

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<diff>
  <replace sel="/macros/macro[@name='bullet_player_beam_v2_macro']/properties">
    <properties>
      <heat value="300" />
      <damage value="50000" hull="1000" repair="0" />
    </properties>
  </replace>
</diff>

should work too.

edit: whoops! I see you got it already. Ninja'd twice in one day! Getting slow!

This is modifying the Pulse Maker M2 weapon right? Cant seem to see any diff with the mod on and off?
Not sure if im using this mod the right way

[w.evans]

It modifies the Heavy Laser. At least, it did when it was first released. I don't know if DorianEU changed it since then.

[wazlord]

Is this for Skunk or other Ships, as i cant see any Heavy Laser or any weapon as named as such when using Skunk

[w.evans]

It's a weapon for the Skunk. I hacked it into my save just to try it out, so I can confirm that it exists. Haven't yet found it in-game though. I believe it can be found in the Teladi System with the DLC.
