First of all, I recommend putting the tank changes and weapon changes in the mission file

I will explain...

example

In the special.cs file you can find this

 

                                        

                                        datablock ProjectileData(DefaultProjectile)

                                        {

                                         velocity = 85.0; // meters per second

                                         inheritVelocity = 0.97; // how much of shooters velocity to inherit

                                         numBounce = 0; // usually 0

                                         splashArea = 0.0; // usually 0

                                         count = 145; // how many shots per clip?

                                         saveOldCartridge = false; // chuck old cartridge or keep it around

                                         canSave = true; // can this cartridge be saved if another comes along?

                                         reloadTime = 150; // in milliseconds

                                         burstDelay = 1000; // milliseconds until next burst if button held down

                                         burstCount = 5; // number of projectiles to fire per burst

                                         synchTime = 1000; // synch over this many milliseconds

                                         synchBefore = 500; // synch if not older than this in milliseconds

                                         damage = 1; // usually 1

                                         gravityScale = 0.4; //

                                         sizeScale = 0.4; // scale of projectile (meters for bitmaps)

                                         resource = "~/data/shapes/tanks/DefaultProjectile.png"; // shape or bitmap

                                         tankExplosion = "DefaultTankExplosion"; // datablock for explosion

                                         ownTankExplosion = "DefaultOwnTankExplosion"; // datablock for explosion

                                         bounceExplosion = "DefaultExplosion"; // datablock for explosion

                                         otherExplosion = "DefaultExplosion"; // datablock for explosion

                                         reticle = "DefaultReticle";

                                        };

                                        

 

Now, you could change the stuff right there and it would effect every single mission

But what if you wanted only one mission to have what you are going to change.
that is when you would put something like this at the end of the prefered mission file

 

                                        

                                        DefaultProjectile.damage = 10000;

                                        

 

That works for most everything, including emitters, tanks, weapons, etc.
use your imagination....

If you make changes and they dont work, make sure that:

A: the changes are big enough to be noticed (like changing the velocity from 85 to 86, you just wont notice it)
B: you have no spelling errors
C: you are changing what you are wanting to change

If all else fails... Dont mess with it

It's not clear to me what the problem is.

 

 

 

Are you saying that when you put the weapons settings in the mission file, they fail?
Where did you get the settings from,maxworks ? If not, all of default settings have been translated for the mission file and are now available as of this weekend.

 

 

Are you saying that making the tanks and weapon changes in the mission is a hassle and that you just want to make the changes in the actual.cs files?
Is it so hard to copy paste the different sets of settings into the mission file, rather than having to modify multiple special.cs tanksdb.cs, and tankfx.cs files? Beside you have more options available by putting the setting in the mission file.

 

 

I am unfamiliar with this explanation so I don't know what the definition of weapon you are referring to.
Are you referring to the making of new power-ups or are you referring to modifying the original power-ups.
As far as I know Big show is the one who explained how to make new power-ups.
Not the first of course, but he posted it for the Modding resource first.

I can't really be of any assistance without more information. Feel free to expand on your questions in the future and at least pretend to know the english language.
Notice how the responses are 5x longer than the question and you still probably have have had no help.
