That's one way to do it. If you want it per weapon you could try to change the change the categorie from your anti-device laser from 1/2 to 4 or something. The siege laser for instance is a cat 4 weapon, and technically it is a laser weapon.

I just don't know where to change the original category....

for example, this weapon...
it got a "category"
but according to http://nexusthegame.net/wiki/Weapons
this is always 1 for weapon, so I bet it's not the range category

and it's not related, but hope someone can explain abit on what's the "Sets 1 30 100 31 111" mean
for the shield the"Sets" determine the attribute, but for weapon I can't find reference in wiki

Code: [Select]

DEVICETYPE 24

and the "category table" i only see one from the official modding tool in exl format
can't seems to find anything thing similar in the extracted dat folder..

I guess there should be one for changing the range right?

thanks for the detailed answers, I have manged to try out some of the most basic stuff that are plain obvious like tampering the firing rate

but as for the range, I am reading this:
http://nexusthegame.net/wiki/Modding_weapon_ranges_and_accuracy

so, if i want to double the firing range of the anti devices laser, I have to change that value of those GLOBAL 1~5 cat? it cannot be done per weapon?

phew, so many thing to read from the modding manuel, headache lol

a quick follow up question:

if I am modding the single player mode, is it the same as homeworld that, I just need to put the modified extracted folder into the game directory and it will be applied automatically?

like, if I finished adding the firing range of the burningfist laser, I just need to put the universe folder in the game directory and it will be applied right?

For example I was trying to find the burning fist laser, but I can't seems to find the related exact name because the modding tool provided xls is in hungarian....

are there are ways to help recognize or a table already made?

I have done all the study I can before I ask this simple question, please help
