Designing weapons?

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Tue Jul 27, 2004 4:58 am

I am using windows XP and my game is running great and i really am enjoying it, but i would like to be able to destroy capital ships with my goddard. I cannot open any of the config files, and when i do an online search to find what program I need to open the files, i get nothing. I'm sure the answer is somewhere in these forums, but I haven't had any luck. Could someone please tell me what program i need to design weapons and where to find it?

Also, when the game loads one of the advertisements says says, get the job, accept the job, get paid, or something along those lines. Well it shows a monthly bank statement, atm I have nearly 2billion creds, but i have yet to see a statement of that type. Also in the confed explore advertisement it mentions owning a planet, is that possible?

You can open up most any of the game files in notepad.exe. They're mostly in XML, which is pretty straighforward to edit.

You want to edit the file weapons_list.xml to modify weapons.

As for the stuff in the splash screens... the monthly statement is a dramatization. The stuff in the explore splash doesn't say anything about owning planets, it says something about getting a prospecting percentage fee or something. Which isn't actually in the game, either. It's just random flavor.

what about the XIA files, or config files? What were they created with?

I'm not sure what an XIA file is, but most all config and stat files in Vega Strike are plain text, and were created with simple text editors.
