Sins Forums
I read on these forums there is a file I can edit that tells my units to auto cast reintegration at any value I choose to put in instead of the default 50% hull value. I cannot, for the life of me, find that post though. Could anyone tell me what file and where in the file this information is in?
The file is AbilitySelfRepairLight. If you want to change it for the Vasari's heavy cruiser, it's AbilitySelfRepairHeavy.
Look for the lines (they both autocast at 50% damage taken):
onlyAutoCastWhenDamageTakenExceedsPerc 0.500000
Whenever you need to find an ability file, the easiest thing to do is open up the ship entity file and it has a list of all the abilities, since they're not all named something that's easy to notice 
Thanks. Where can I find the file with the damage values for the Kostura Cannon?
Hmm, my notepad opens it all funny.
This is what I get

Yup, because you'll have to download the mod pack for the text versions (not available for the beta patch yet, just 1.05).
You can use ConvertData.exe that should be in your Sins install (I think that's where they put it in the beta patch) that can convert beta files to text, it's a command line program. Should be run something like "convertdata.exe entity sourcefile destinationfile" if memory serves.
My Convertdata.exe doesnt do anything. I open it, a window pops up for a quarter second and than goes away. When I open the file its still a bunch of random characters.
Okay, put the convertdata.exe and the entity file(s) you need in some easy to reach folder, or just c:\ works well, you'll see why in a second..
Go to start > run, type cmd, hit enter to get that DOS window to open up.
You'll need to navigate to wherever you put the program by using the cd (change directory) command, so if you put it in c:\ you'd type
cd c:\
or
cd c:\whateverpathyouputitin
Once you're there, type convertdata.exe entity <filename> <filename> so for example
convertdata.exe entity AbilityRepairSelfLight.entity AbilityRepairSelfLightTEXT.entity
this *should* take the first file (in binary gibberish), convert it to text, and save it as the second file.
Well every time I try it crashes and sends an error report to Microsoft. I guess I'll just wait for 1.1 to come out to make my changes
It's probably a different keyword then. Other than "entity" I mean. I don't remember 
Maybe someone else does.
