Question about a possible upcoming weapons mod...

Does anyone know if it's possible to alter a beam weapon or missile shockwave so that it mimics a disrupter missile? I've been attempting to create a laser-based disrupter or, failing that, an EMP missile that disables every ship in the blast redius, but so far I haven't had any luck, and frankly, it's driving me crazy. I'd just like to know whether it's an effort in futility.

A while back I did a lot of modification of the weapon and ship files, and I'm almost certain it is possible to create a disruptor laser (I'm not sure about an EMP missile though). Try doing something like this:

1. Make a copy of the pbc_bolt.ini file found in the resource.zip file under the path sims/weapons (I think!)

2. Change the name of the file and edit the range and damage of the bolt to whatever you want

3. Open disruptor_missile.ini (I think thats what its called) again under sims/weapons. You will find a couple of lines in it relating to disruption effects which are self explanetary

4. Copy and paste these into your pbc_bolt.ini and edit them as you wish

Hope this helps!

Oh, forgot to add that exactly the same thing should be possible for beam weapons by exactly the same procedure

Hmm. That's exactly what I did earlier, but it didn't function properly. I'll give it another try.

I wonder if you could create a new weapon instead of just modifying a new one...

Hey, isn't it death before dishonor?

Not in my case
