also for modding it there anyway to make anyweapon omni directional? cause its hard trying to hit a corsair with a slowmoving capital ship

Yes, where it says "Omnidirectional" in the XML document, put "true" beside it.

Actually, you won't find any omnidirectional="false" or omnidirectional="" to simply make 'true' on weapons in the StdWeapons.xml or the other places weapons are found.

To make the base model of the weapon omnidirectional you need to add the quality to the <weapon> tag:

Code: Select all

Original Tag:
<Weapon
				type=				"beam"

				damage=				"laser:1d4"
				fireRate=			"10"
				lifetime=			"30"
				powerUse=			"10"

				beamType=			"laser"
				primaryColor=		"0xf1, 0x5f, 0x2a"
				secondaryColor=		"0xff, 0x00, 0x00"
				sound=				"&snLaserCannon;"
				>
		</Weapon>

With Omni:

<Weapon
				type=				"beam"
             omnidirectional=            "true"
				damage=				"laser:1d4"
				fireRate=			"10"
				lifetime=			"30"
				powerUse=			"10"

				beamType=			"laser"
				primaryColor=		"0xf1, 0x5f, 0x2a"
				secondaryColor=		"0xff, 0x00, 0x00"
				sound=				"&snLaserCannon;"
				>
		</Weapon>

Another method is to use the <device> tag in the ship description. This can turn a normal non-omni weapon into an omni weapon install on a ship:

<Device deviceID="&itXRayLaserCannon;" omnidirectional="true"/>

I haven't found a way to use a install shop in the game to set the omni value on a newly installed weapon- it seems to work only from the xml data.

I love that tag
