Dont bother man thx i found it i didnot know i can simply open the mesh files.

When I'm adding new points to meshes in .txt format, I usually pick a point I think is close, duplicate it, rename it, and change say the y coordinate [x, y, z] by 5 or some other small number. Then, in the developer .exe, I use the show mesh points option and look for two points really close together. Then I can just start guessing with the numbers, and each time I save the mesh file the Developer.exe will reload the file and show the new position. Keep adjusting it until you get the point where you want it.

Thanks. That's kind of what I want them to do--but I never want a player or AI "allying" with the Yggdrasil. The negative envoy effects are something I had considered.

 

Is it possible to set the required relations higher than can be obtained? That would stop any player from allying with the Yggdrasil.

I dunno.  I hate loose ends so didn't want some confarbled mashup solution.  Hopefully it will be simple like that.

I haven't had time to work on it for over a week now--sigh.

Just setting extraordinarily high racial penalties should work quite nicely. And don't give the Yggdrasil a tech that gets rid of that penalty.

Well, you really can't do that easily. The only one who was able to do that was Myfist with a custom Max script he wrote, he's no longer around so unless someone still has that script it may prove difficult. What exactly did you want to edit on the pre-existing model?

You can go to this site--which is run by MyFist0 and he might be able to help.

Also, check the links at the top of this page carefully.

I bought Rebellion today and first thing I wanted to do was mod the mines out

However, even though the mod is activated, it has no effect. I can still research mines.

I made a separate folder, put the entities in there I wanted to edit, edited them with Notepad++

I used the .76 ref files from Harpo btw. It even says in the Notepad file that my mod is activated.

Would anyone know what it is?

What's your checksum? If its zero the game isn't able to read any game changing files (I.e. it can't find your gameinfo folder). Make sure your folders are set up as Mod Folder -> GameInfo -> Mine.entity etc.

I feel so stupid.

Indeed, I forgot the GameInfo folder. *sigh* Thought of everything, everything but that.

Thank you.

Is there a way to code an ability to only disable a single weapon or a single weapon type, like missiles.

Best you can do is slow down energy or physical weapons to a crawl I think.

I meant reduce their rate of fire to a crawl. Alternatively, you can reduce their damage output to 0.

In Diplomacy, does ChanceToIgnoreShieldsAsDamageTarget apply to all weapon types that have shield negation, or just Phase Missiles?

This is a good thread to bump--a lot of newer modders won't even know about it.

Well I'm using it my mod for things other than phase missiles and I thought I was noticing a damage increase. I guess I'll try cranking it up to 100 and see what I observe.

Was asking mainly as, at least in Entrenchment, using it in an ability only works for Phase Missiles.

Just tried settting it to a 100% debuff. All the shots went right through the shields if that weapon was able to go through shields in the first place due to research.

So, in other words, it can only block Phase Missiles. Looks like I have some changes to do.

It doesn't seem to care what weapon is used as long as it has some chance to bypass shields.

Never mind then, read your post wrong. This is excellent news.
