All i am wanting to do is edit some weapon characterics for my own personal preference. If i do edit the data i will not play it online, nor will i release it to the public. If it is ok just to edit it for myself could somebody tell me where i go about finding the weapon configs for the mod. what programs do i need to extract files from the mod, if any? what file are they stored in? etc. If there are any previous threads pointing to how to do it could somebody post a link. I just want to edit stats like damage, speed of projectiles etc. I know you can do it using the mutator 'weaponstuff' but that is fairly limited on editing the choas weapons.
Thanks alot for any help.
how do you edit weapon characteristics
heh, such things do not exist for a few reasons.
A) If you hosted a server and changed all the settings, then some new players that came to play may think its supposed to be like that, then see it on another server and get mad cuz its different. (although i do it for duel
)
B) The Server INI is what actually holds all server settings anyway, so even if you could change them via the ini, you still couldn't use them online. And also this is the reason why the values aren't in the ini file.
C) Because of the 2 above reasons, the values are all hard coded in the U file packages. The only way to do it is make a mutator like weapon stuff for chaos that changed each weapon differently, or extract and rebuild U files, however this would make them not work online at all and would be useless and too much work.
or if you are doing this on an instant action game, goto the console and type:
set weapon.class damage xx
(i.e. set xweapons.redeemer damage 50)
but this is something only people that know the code well enough should do

Check www.UT2004hq.com and look for a file called Control1x , or Weaponstuff.

Also Mutator Toolbox on the ataricommunity.com has a lot of cool stuff that allows you to swap and i think change weapons on vehicles. Also allows you to change the damage globally on all weapons.
