Two Questions

[MiKeLT]

Hi! I have recently found swgemu and I love it! I played on Gorath back in the day so its nice to be back in the Star Wars Universe. I am getting into the modding aspect and have two questions,

Is there a guide for adding new paintings to the game? And where can I adjust the damage of weapons in the files? Sorry if its answered elsewhere. Im a noob.

Thank you!!

Hello! Welcome to the community, we all look forward to what you might create!

To answer your questions, the easiest first:
For weapons, most of the stats for such weapons are handled in two different ways. The base item, and the draft schematic variables. These are handled by the Lua files on server side.
For base weapons, check out the Lua files in MMOCoreORB/bin/scripts/object/weapon/
For Draft Schematics, check out the Lua files in MMOCoreORB/bin/scripts/object/draft_schematic/weapon/

As for your second question, the process to create new paintings isn't necessarily hard, just a tiny bit tedious. I will see if I can't pull up a guide and post it to this forum's guide section. If I can, I'll edit this post to link to it.

Wow! Thank you for the warm welcome and thank you for taking the time to help me!!

Of course! Happy to help. I've written a guide on paintings here:

Hopefully it'll help you accomplish what you'd like to do. As I said, it's not really difficult, just a little tedious with the amount of files involved, but it is ultimately a simple situation.

Happy modding!

Wow! Thank you. It seems pretty straightforward. Thank is very nice of you to do that!!

Concerning the weapons. I found those files yesterday and I have edited the values in : MMOCoreORB/bin/scripts/object/weapon/

However it doesn't change in the game. I changed the Max and Min values but it doesn't change. Ill keep looking around to see what can be done.

Once again thank you so much!!

I personally don't have a lot of experience of changing weapon damage values, but I'm pretty certain these object lua files contain the data. Make sure that when you change the values in the files, you delete and recreate the weapons. It is very likely that an item's damage values are static upon creation, and won't change for existing items. (Though I could be wrong)

I was just thinking that before I came to check the forums. I feel silly now! Thank you for all of your help HelmedRaven!! I am sure I will have more questions in the future.
