how to edit hanger defence?

1st: Locate the hanger entity files in your game;s install area(c:/programs(x86 for win7)/Stardock Games/Sins of a solar empire/Diplomacy/) look for Hangar Defense.Entity (all of them if you want to change them all

2nd: if you don't already have it, Download Notepad++ it will safe you hours of squinting at little lines of smushed up text in notepad

3rd: COPY the files you wish to alter into a new folder(your modded hangars) in C:/Users/your name/app data/Local/Ironclad Games/the obvious one/Mods-Diplomacy v1.## whatever your version is

4th: PASTE the files you copied inside a folder inside this

5th: After having Notepad++ installed you need to Find a Text to Bin converter. Harpo has one floating around here.....gotta update mine now that i think about it. anyway, find that and it will have very easy to understand instructions on how to use it.

6-11th:All Harpo stuff

12th: open the now converted files with notepad++ by right clicking them and selecting "edit with notepad++" and look for a line in each called "maxsquadroncount" and change the number to what you wish it to be.

5th.b: Look up the Reference files for your version of sins, just use the search bar up there for either. The reference files usually come in .txt form

and this has been my random good deed for the day*leaves to get a cookie*

If you do this, I'd recommend also modding the max antimatter and/or antimatter regeneration rate (located in the same txt file)...otherwise, hangars won't be able to replace their squadrons very well....
