Firearc and crewmodifier

posted on August 1st, 2009, 11:14 am

What is the unit used by the firearc entry. FO uses firearc=1.61 but in "Westworlds big book of modding" it is stated that the unit is degree. What exactly means 1.61, perhaps 180 degree?



The other problem is with crewmodifier. I just tested this configuration with one ship, but there are no changes. When shields are down, there should be crew losses when a torpedo hits a ship.

damagethreshold = 30
shieldcrewmodifier = 0.01
hullcrewmodifier = 0.02

Could anyone explain what damagethreshold exactly mean.

What happens is the damage above the damage threshold is multiplied by the multiplier listed to get the number of crew lost. Thus if the average damage is say 35 for that weapon, i'd be very suprised if you lost more than 1 at most crew when the torp hits.
