Hardcoded in the blueprints. For example, if you overrode the Kestrel A, but your new ship was named <ship_ID>SHIP_NAME</ship_ID>, it wouldn't use engine effects. They're hardcoded to PLAYER_SHIP_HARD and PLAYER_SHIP_FED.Chrono Vortex wrote:I'm not sure what causes a ship to actually use those effects though, maybe the name in the blueprints?
Small correction: they're hardcoded to the .txt layout files' names, not the blueprint names themselves (if I recall correctly)NarnKar wrote:Hardcoded in the blueprints.

Yup. You put it in the negatives and that laser will only do damage on lack of shields. I haven't tested this myself but one of my ships (The Etwahl) has it.FearTheBlaziken wrote:Is it possible to make a Beam Weapon that doesn't do damage until all of the enemy's shields are gone?
Example - Damage: 4 Shield Piercing: -5 (Negative Levels exist in CE for Scatter Lasers)
Yes it's possible. The Arwing by Gencool sort of does that with the Twin Lasers. Shoots like Flak, can hold charges and it cools down quicker with each shot.Also Is it possible to make a Charge Flak?
Hm. Odd. Weapon count should default to number of weapon slots you have set. No idea why it didn't work there, it worked just now when I tested it. Oh well, just add a count="4" attribute to your <weaponList> tag, and that'll fix it:zaphod_ wrote:Lifesaver. Thank you.kartoFlane wrote:You forgot to set the weapon count.

EDIT: Where do I set that count?
