How do you effect the amount of time a superweapon takes to charge??

and i was just wondering whether it was possible to create more than one blast in one superweapon deployment (ie: increase the size of the weather storm, or make more than one nuke come down like rain...)

Also how do you make the chrono field thing of the chronosphere bigger (the thing that circles the troops to teleport them...) so you can transport more troops?

i think that is all....

thanks.

Most is in the rules.ini files and ar.ini files

[superweaponnamespecial] has most codes for recharge, with an action and type for the game to know what effect to use.

Damage is indicated in either [general], for the nuke on a certain warhead and images is located in art.ini.

Images can also trigger an warhead, and is thus useable. Read the DZ ini guide for more info

He means rules(md).ini and art(md).ini files.

I'm fairly sure that that is hard coded so you can't change it.

[optical_genius]

But is it possible to change the nuke to something like "nukerain" so it drops like 4 or 5 at a time on a base? that would be cool.

[Kravvitz]

There is no easy way to do it, but someone else might find a really complicated work around.

[DCoder]

Maybe something as simple as Burst=5 on NukeMaker or whatever the nuke WeaponType is will do that? Don't know, never tried.

Or simply replacing the weatherstorm?

[optical_genius]

ok sorry for the delay, but here is what i did.

all i had to do was replace the warhead tag (its up the top of rules somewhere) and put the following instead...
LightningWarhead=NUKE

This meant that every time a lightning bolt would strike, it would have the power of a nuclear bomb.

This makes the game a little too easy for some people so you might want to try changing the recharge time, or clone the weather storm weapon so there are two...(the weather controller would have the normal powered one and a building of your choice could have the super powered one) but since i dont know how to do this you could do what i did and change the settings for the nuclear silo so the prerequisits are just TECH,CNST so that any side can build it and then change the controller prerequisits to GACNST,NACNST so that people can only build the weather control if they are in position of both an allied and a soviet construction yard.

This removes any problems with the AI building superweapons etc.

these are the settings that i had for the controller and the nuke...

does the no response mean that you like this or that you cannot even be bothered to read it?

[Kravvitz]

People have only had about 5.25 hours to read this.

Did you change any of the building code besides the Prerequisites?

I for one like leaving the original superweapons unmodified, except for maybe recharge times.
