I want to decrease the damage of Asgard maingun, its too overwhelm...
I found the file
\assets\fx\weaponfx\macros\bullet_atf_xl_beam_01_mk1_macro.xml

Code: Select all

<macros>
  <macro name="bullet_atf_xl_beam_01_mk1_macro" class="bullet">
    <component ref="bullet_atf_xl_beam_01_mk1" />
    <properties>
      <bullet speed="2.997925e+08" lifetime="7" range="14000" amount="1" barrelamount="1" icon="weapon_beam_mk1" maxhits="1" ricochet="0" scale="1" attach="1" />
      <heat value="3460" />
      <reload time="7.3" />
      <damage value="330426" repair="0" />
      <effects>
        <impact ref="impact_ter_xl_laser_01_mk1" inside="impact_ter_xl_laser_01_mk1_inside" />
        <bigobjectimpact ref="impact_ter_xl_laser_01_mk1_bigobject" inside="impact_ter_xl_laser_01_mk1_bigobject_inside" />
      </effects>
      <sounds>
        <firing ref="weapon_atf_xl_battleship_01_mk1_loop" />
      </sounds>
      <weapon system="weapon_standard" />
    </properties>
  </macro>
</macros>

I tried to modify damage value in this file, but didn't work.

If you wanted to try reducing the damage without resorting to 3rd party modding/edits, you could try rolling one of two Enhanced Quality (blue) in-game mods for an effect you might like:

Othotsk: Weapon Cooling: Bonus: 21.60% to 27.10% + Weapon Damage: Malus: -10.00% to -5.00%

Benguela: Weapon Cooling: Bonus: 19.90% to 30.50% + Weapon Damage: Malus: -13.00% to -4.10% + Weapon Reload: Bonus: -31.80% to 100.00%

If you want to use a 3rd party mod, take a look at this topic: viewtopic.php?p=5110340.

If you want to do it on your own, you have to know, that if you want to change something in a dlc or an other mod, you also have to transfer this file structure to you own mod:

If you want to change e.g. X4 Foundations\assets\fx\weaponfx\macros\bullet_arg_l_laser_01_mk1_macro.xml (bullet of the main game) your mod needs to be
X4 Foundations\extensions\YourMod\assets\fx\weaponfx\macros\bullet_arg_l_laser_01_mk1_macro.xml.

BUT, in your case, X4 Foundations\extensions\ego_dlc_terran\assets\fx\weaponfx\macros\bullet_atf_xl_beam_01_mk1_macro.xml, the mod file structure is different:
X4 Foundations\extensions\YourMod\extensions\ego_dlc_terran\assets\fx\weaponfx\macros\bullet_atf_xl_beam_01_mk1_macro.xml.

Now, just as described in viewtopic.php?t=354310, the bullet_atf_xl_beam_01_mk1_macro.xml contains following code:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<diff>
	<replace sel="/macros/macro/properties/damage/@value">33043</replace>
</diff>

"33043" is the new damage. --> The original damage (330426) is reduced by 90%. You can set this value to what ever you want.

Of course, I have assumed that you already read this: viewtopic.php?f=181&t=402452
