break the level10 gun and turret level

[kosacid]

i know it sounds stupid but i was wondering how to do it
there a reason for it i want to add ships that can only take certain guns and turrets like a ship that can just take level 15 guns and turrets but fl only sees up to 10 levels above that are treated as level 10 so where the limit
Ive tried in the ships ini
hp_type = hp_gun_special_15, HpWeapon01, HpWeapon02
but its treated like level 10
even though the weopon using
hp_gun_type = hp_gun_special_15
the slot can still use level 10 guns

Yes, this is a common issue. I've redone all the weapon classes in my mod so you can achieve exactly what you're trying to do. In the weapon equip.ini you will see an entry for the gun with this line in it,

hp_gun_type = hp_gun_special_1

You will need to go through and redefine all your weapon classes to achieve what you want. In other words only make certain weapons available to certain sized ships. That way you can make class 10 guns available to say battleships only, class 9 to cruisers and so on.

so there no short cut then it has to be fixed some where

found it seem they are stored in a list format thats crap pity they werent stored as 0 to 10
basicly its stored in common.dll and stored like
hp_gun_special_01
to
hp_gun_special_10

hmm idea just pop in the head there in order to keep the offsets abbreviate the hp to say like hgs01 then you can fit alot more in to the list provideing there no refrence to hp_gun_special in the othere dlls and do a find and replace on your weapon_equip.ini and the shiparch.ini i think you can get about lvl20
mind you im mad doing it but its worth a try lol

I renamed them to reflect Light Fighter, Heavy Fighter and so on. I found it easier to do it like that, ended up using 8 weapon classes with two spare if i think of anything else
