Modding SW3?

[nocalora29]

Nice to still see you around Goblin.

I Know you didn't mod the game in a long Time but... Do you maybe know how to Increase the existing Shield size of an Ship?

IIRC If you want to change 3D/visual size of a shield bubble you need to edit 3D model (3dStudio Max 8 with IMD plugin). Bubble size and shape is independent form the model so increasing the size of a ship doesn't automatically increase the size of a bubble.

Do you have an Link for the Plugin?, I Can't find it.

also tried to Search the EGT and Starrover Forum, But no finds...

Tried to Translate both sites with the Built-in Translation feature in Google Chrome but... Hell... This is just Broken as it can Get.

~Lil off-topic~
Do you by any chance Know something about the vanishment of Tech?, or why did the German modder website got downed anyway?, just curious.

I've just uploaded the plugin here.

The German modding site was abandoned/closed shortly after I started modding the game. No idea why. I still have some of theirs the most interesting mods but a lot of know-how was decisively lost.

About StarRover - If you want to get access to some really good stuff about modding SW, you have to make an account there.

Thanks!.

Are the Guys at StarRover still working or doing somthing Related to the Retrospection or Orion Mod?

EDIT

Umm, Is it normal that I get this?

The name of the Lion Mk4 in the m_carcasses.loc File is "#M_Name_Mothership_LionMk4"

EDIT:

I Got everything to blow up instantly, but in an rather "Small" Area... I Think an input of 9999999999 should blow up everything in the sector but it still only explodes in an very small radius...

Still needs testing...

What Exactly Did you Edit ? To make the explosion area bigger ?

Also you know that if torpedoes are fired at once from a gunship and gets too close to each other before reaching their target they Explode , it there any way to make them not explode even if they get too close to each other

I Edited the same thing that I told you, but it seemingly has somekind of Limit...

-That I think is just collision detection, Sorry, I Don't really know how to avoid that... You could try to Delete the Torpedo's Mesh Collision spheres tho.

[nocalora29]

Sorry to bother you again but...

Do you maybe know how to Save global variables?, Because I'd like to save some Numbers and or Strings that I can Read/Load trough an Systems Activate.script File.

I mean something Like this:
if (VARIABLE=="2") then
-- Do Stuff

end;

Is this somehow Possible to do?

? What Limit . I Tried Putting in a Number of 800000 and all it did was explode the moment it launched it didn't increase the area of damage .

But what i wonder is that the Alien Poison Torpedo . I can Edit The Infection area of that here .<poisoned_area_radius>50</poisoned_area_radius> When I change this to like 500000 every ship in the system gets infected ?

<PoisonDetonator name="AlienPoisonDetonator">
<time_to_live>1250</time_to_live>
<damage>150</damage>
<explosion_distance>15</explosion_distance>
<poisoned_area_radius>50</poisoned_area_radius>
<poison_effect_duration>45000</poison_effect_duration>
<rate_of_poisoning>40</rate_of_poisoning>
</PoisonDetonator>

[nocalora29]

Probably Yes, try it out.
