Is there a way to convert a projectile into a missile?

from Sins Forums

 

I just started to mod some basic things, and one thing that has been bugging me is that I can't turn the ogrov's "missile" (since it's treated and simulated as a projectile according the game) into an actual missile.

 When I try to add the weapon to a capital ship, the game minidumps on startup, and I can't play, so I had to put my idea on hold for now. I've bolded the parts where I changed the code, from projectile to missile.

 

 

 

 Any help would be appreciated :)

Did you replace an old weapon or did you add the weapon. That's a big difference. If you added it, the game will crash because:

  1.     You forgot to change the "Count" number
  2.     The mesh supports only 3 weapon systems


Even you don't need to convert the projectile into a missile, also it is not so easy.

I hope this helped a bit. If you have more questions, ask them ;)
