I was browsing through the mods that I had running. Specifically the combat armor mod, rail gun mod, the gauss rifle mod, and the thunderstorm mod. I made a few minor tweaks so that it makes them a little more useful.
I am not a programer but I was able to do some useful and interesting things.
First Tweak.
Combat armor mod:
items:
costBuy: 10000 * Now doesn't cost an arm and a leg
costSell: 5000
Second tweak: Standardization of Gauss and Mass Accelerator AMMO.
- STR_GAUSS_SNIPER_RIFLE
compatibleAmmo:
- STR_GAUSS_RIFLE_CLIP * because crafting 8 bagillion types of ammo at the beginning of the game is a pain in the ass and takes way too long making gauss tech kind of too much of a pain in the beginning of the game to bother with. Therefore I went through and standardized all the gauss ammo except for the craft weapon heavy weapons and explosive weapons obviously. I did the same for Mass accelerator tech.
THUNDERRANGER
I then got creative and created the Thunder ranger. I used the Thunderstorm mod things and
- type: STR_THUNDERSTORM
weapons: 2
Then I went into the UFO fighter transport extender file and did this...
STR_THUNDERSTORM (CHANGED FROM STR_INTERCEPTOR)
soldiers: 10
vehicles: 1
battlescapeTerrainData:
name: AVENGER
mapDataSets:
- BLANKS
- AVENGER
mapBlocks:
- name: AVENGER
width: 10
length: 20
So now my thunderstorm will appear as an avenger on the battle field but it only can equip 10 soldiers so the avenger is still way better and the skyranger can still hold 14. (though it does looks rather silly sitting there with all that extra room. LOL
I would have loved to modify the sky ranger to make it shorter to accommodates 10 soldiers like the PLANE accommodates 6 but but I couldn't figure out how to download the MAPVIEW TOOL. So the AVENGER was a work around.
I also noticed murmurslaserRifle looked a bit dull so I added some bling
And Finally I added a scope to the Mass Accelerator Sniper Rifle because it looks way too similar to the regular rifle.
Sorry if you can't see the sprites, I don't think I know how to post a picture. Thanks to whoever posted about GIMP that thing is awesome and i will never use paint again...
