Considering Writing Custom Modding Tool

from Sins Forums

I enjoyed the Shawabawas Action Mod a while back that increased the speed, turning rates, firing power, and income rates in the game to speed things up. To my understanding, this mod may not be compatable with the new update (1.05).

I am now considering writing a program that would allow a person to change game attributes easily. For example, if you wanted to change the maxAccelerationAngular value for all ships, you would only need to enter the desired scaling factor and it would be applied to all the ships.

My question is what attributes would be desirable to modify and is there a program out there that already does this?

Thanks,
Aquaflight

It's called notepad. Changing the turning and speed values is pretty straightforward. Download the reference files, which already have everything in text and go to town. I modded my cap ships to turn and accelerate in the first few incarnations and I know very little of complex inner workings and such.

I haven't played in awhile as EU3 In Nomine has my attention at present, but there is a reference manual with the mod tools download that walks you through the basics and it was all I needed to start fooling around.
