Ammo increase

[ceutermark]

How do you increase to amount of ammo for the main guns on the New Mexico.

[Moin]

Hi,
Open Data/Submarine/NBB_New_Mexico/NBB_New_Mexico.eqp file! There you can find the weapon classes for the ship!
The "14in_Triple_Turret_PC" is the player controlled cannon, without "_PC" are the AI cannons!
Now open Data/Library/USSubParts/14in_Triple_Turret_PC.sim with S3D editor and you can change under "wpn_Cannon" the "ammo_storage"!

For the AI cannons you must open the Data/Library/ShipParts/guns_radars_05.sim and search after the "14in_Triple_Turret" and make the same as above!

[ceutermark]

what is the S3d editor and where can I get it.

I try to open the EQP file with the editor and it won't open the file.

[Moin]

No, you can the .eqp file simple open with the standard editor of windows!
The S3D editor is for .dat, .sim, .zon, .val, .cam and .dsd files (see top right corner of the editor when open a file!)
Dont forget to make safe copies of your files you want to edit!

[ceutermark]

I have the eqp file open with notepad and it shows the equipment what do I do then.

[Moin]

As discripted above:

Open with S3D the 14in_Triple_Turret_PC.sim:

After the changes save it under the "File" option!
Make the same with the "14in_Triple_Turret" in the "guns_radars_05.sim"!

To bad question about mods and making them are not asked in the mods forum.

I too have a prob with S3D. I want to reduce the volume of shells and the reload speed but, looking at the 4.50 dat file, I cannot see the settings?

[Moin]

Should be in the .sim file!

[Red Devil]

Thanks Moin, will check it out

some people don't notice the other forum is even there, he will learn to post mod related questions there for getting better responses.

its not uncommon for new people to bookmark a forum rather then the website so other forums are often gone completely unseen by them

please be more polite to newer members who are still learning their way around the forums.

surely as its an SH4 question?? Hmm, I have never used the 'mod' forum ?? :doh:

Well sorry for posting in the wrong forum I did not know that people would pitch a big fit over it.

the way he replied towards you was not very welcoming to a new member and let me assure you it is not representative of the way people are normally treated here. if someone gets out of line with you use the report post feature and the modderators will determine if we need to step in and resolve the situation.

the mod forum gets you the best help for mod related questions and this forum is intended for more general questions about the game itself unrelated to modding so often the modders don't read this forum as much.

all SH game versions have a general forum and mod forum to separate the two catagories and some have separate mission creation forum so you can get better help and faster help in most cases.

yep, there was nothing wrong with his question or him posting it here except it may not get as many views

because a good 65% of all the sh4 forum traffic is in that sh4 mod forum

true webby, but I am also guilty of not using mod thingies. I just look for category and post. :oops:
