Default new "Sensors.zon" tweak file

the data/library/sensors.zon file contains the armor level settings.

i cant figure it out but it is not a large file and somebody who can make a new tweak file from scratch should be able to do this one without too much trouble.

It's not nice when there is no answer, but I can't help. I don't know HEXediting. reg Bando

What ship armour? isnt that in the zone file of each sub/ship/plane local
to that model, or regarding subs there is general settings in the main
zone file that effect all subs. (at least in SH3)

do you think it means the armour setting for the sensor mast and unit
vs damage points, because theres also entry for that in the main zones
file.
Im confused.

What are you looking for, specifically?

You want to increase the armour level of your boat? Decrease it on enemies? Change it to reflect more accurate levels on various compartments?

specifically i am pointing out that this may be a simple tweak file project for someone who has the ability to do it.

the answer to your questions are :

yes

yes

and yes

i want anyone to have the option to tweak all these factors if it can be done.

my goal is to help add anything to this community that helps modders weather it is for realism or unrealism.

I'm working on a tool that opens 6 types of files. With this tool you'll be able to edit these properties, without creating tweakfiles and without hexeditting. It's a big project though, so in the mean time, current available tools are the way to go...

One word....AWSOME!!!!

The complications of existing tweakyness and my lack of time have kept me away from serious modding....but with this little baby, well, my hands are just itching!
