Adjust stats for enemies used in FMP?
« on: April 02, 2018, 03:32:46 pm »
An openxcom noob here, but can anyone advise me on how i can modify/adjust the stats of some of the enemies? Example; the tanks for MiB tolerates more than Cyberdisc, which IMO is just wrong. So, I would like to adjust its stats so Cyberdisc can take more damage than MiB tanks... any ideas on how i can do that?

Open "armors_FMP.rul" and look for:

Code: [Select]
  - type: CYBERDISC_ARMOR
    spriteSheet: CYBER.PCK
    allowInv: false
    corpseBattle:
      - CYBERDISC_CORPSE_1
      - CYBERDISC_CORPSE_2
      - CYBERDISC_CORPSE_3
      - CYBERDISC_CORPSE_4
    corpseGeo: STR_CYBERDISC_CORPSE
    frontArmor: 34
    sideArmor: 34
    rearArmor: 34
    underArmor: 34
    drawingRoutine: 3
    constantAnimation: true
    movementType: 1
    size: 2
    damageModifier:
      - 1.0
      - 0.8
      - 1.0
      - 0.6
      - 1.0
      - 1.0
      - 1.0
      - 1.0
      - 0.7
      - 0.0
    loftempsSet: [ 92, 89, 90, 91 ]

...you can update either armor values ("frontArmor", "rearArmor", etc.) or damage resistances under "damageModifier".

Whatever the limit for the largest integer number your computer can store is, so basically whatever you want.

Whereever you have installed FMP... usually under Documents/OpenXcom/mods/
