Help locate entry for Starbase HitPoints

July 17, 2008 12:06:17 AM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums

My eyes are glazing over trying to find an entry in one of the .xml files so that I can mod the hitpoints of starbases.

That is, unless they are hard-coded to use the value of one of the Large Hulls.

Enlighten me please, if you can

p.s. Kudos to the wonderful forum community around here!

Starbases are considered by the game as a special sort of ship, hence defined in GC2Ships.xml and the appropiate shipcfg .
SB use LargeHulls as class and get therefore HitPoints of a eg Battleship, defined in GC2Types.xml.
Hope that helps

Exactly right.

So to mod the hitpoints of a starbase is simply to mod the hitpoints (or create a new one) of a large hull (or any hull tech) - and apply it to that starbase tech.

Thanks to you both.

I ended up copying the "LargeHull6" type in GC2Types.xml, pasting it back in as a new entry, renamed it to "StarbaseHull0" with the Tech_Requirment changed to "ImpossibleTech" so it couldn't be used to build actual ships, then modded HP and sensor range.

I then went back to GC2Ships.xml and changed the Starbase entry's Component tag to point to the new StarbaseHull0

So far, looks to be working as planned.

If it does work please think about adding it into the library here so others, such as myself, can use the mod too
