LR: Modifying ACLR

[adiyel]

there is no such thing as a BGR combo lol

only BG

i forgot all about ANANDA...sorry

i think it will be impossible for us to get this right on the first try or even make at least a couple of more parts actually playable, since making the part "playable" will require a lot of play time and testing. We will naturally find ourselves rebalancing one way or another.


could you make a check to what parts stats that are easily changeable and to those that are not? so we could get a heads up for this before even making a spreadsheet of other parts. at least give me a Stat/hex/hexcompresion representation of each different part in the game (from 2 types of heads up to weapons at least)

kinda got flustered hearing that some important stats could not be changed

true about re-balancing, but you can minimize the number of times you do it by making small changes across the board to get a feel of how the meta shifts. lots of play-testing is only necessary when you make huge changes to a few parts in response to something being broken. remember, we want to enable aggressive, and not passive competition.

that would take a long time...besides, the target files that need to be changed in order to make a difference in combat are different each time, but they do follow closely to a scheme that can be found simply by searching for the part's name in the hex editor...

well, lemme say that weapons of all types are easy to change and seldom have any noticeable issues unless you write over something important like a n00b (which i did at first )

you just have to be careful when it comes to internals (FCS, gens and rads, namely gens).

@NiX
you can change calorific values...just not all of them! but i'll be honest, if you gauge a gen's stats by its calorific value, then you already have a nice spread of gens to work with - you just can't get all sentimental with your pet-parts and compromise an entire re-balance because of it.
