Hia, folks. got a problem.

When i dled the RDN tools, and started tampering around with the Weapon stats thingy (weapon tuning thing).. well all goes well, i change for instance the % to hit fighters on the V assault frigate, well i "export" that singel file, lo and behold it creates a file in the data\weapons\shipnamewhatitis folder, and i start the game with the Overidebigfile, oh well, the game crash when i load the game (randon skirmish map)..
So, when i remove the file and replace it with for instance, one edited from a mod... the game goes fine.

So whats the problem, the file itself cant be opened with any result in notepad, unlike the ones that goes with the mods. Even tried just saving the file like it is, not alterning.. game still crash on the "universe" part of loading screen. In the xxxx_errorlog.txt file it just says something like
Homeworld2.exe caused a Breakpoint in module Debug.dll at 001b:003c19b6.
Error occurred at 12/3/2003 13 : 35 : 10.
Homeworld2.exe, run by Henka.

So whats the pro bros? So far i have what i wanted with just notepad and those dled weapon files, but some info is a lill hard to use (for instance, how do i change ROF?)

Help is appreciated.

--------

I did a "export all weapons" and then opened the Vgr_FlechetteCannonAssaultFrigateBottom.wepn file in notepad, well the file formation is gone (everything is just a row of data), and the game crash on me even though i never edited anything in ANY of the weapon files.. :confused:

Hmm one way could be to change it to what you want, and then manualy fix the formation (pressing alot of enters and space.. a lill to tedious perhaps)

for instance, how do i change ROF?

See my Complete .wepn file info thread (http://forums.relicnews.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=20820). Feel free to bump it while your there. :)

Looks like the excell isn't exporting right.
Maybe you have to unarchive the big files first. Use the arcive.exe that is in the RDN tools. Read the docs on how to use it. There is an easier archive extractor somewhere around here too.

Failing that go to the abovementioned thread.
