XML Files

[Master Leffe]

I have another brilliantly stupid question:

 

How, exactly, do you modify XML files? I've opened them up in the Data file, but when it loads, I can't modify the text... I think I'm missing a step, but does anyone know which one?

[Patrickj64_ak]

open the xml file with wordpad?

I right click the .xml file and select edit. This opens up notepad, where you can edit the file.

Same, but I downloaded Dreamweaver demo, and it became the default program. But I use notepad for editing the XML files.

Ok, Thanks. Now I have but one more thing to ask. In a uniqueunits file, how do you change how much damage a weapon, say a laser cannon, does? Do u just make the "damage" stat higher?

[Zorromorph]

You make the Projectile_Damage stat higher, which will be in Projectiles normally. The uniqueunits and many other files should have a reference to the kind of projectile used. Either that or it will point you to a hardpoint which will then tell you what projectile it uses.

Thanks Zorromorph. I just edited the stats of a few ships and it works great.
