Stat changes
Lightning
I've once again played around with the lightning tank, it now fires more powerful shells but is poorly armoured again, meaning it is much easier to take down and isn't just a rocket sponge from the front. Usually just one shell from another tank or a rocket trooper will take it down and require a repair, more like some of the vanilla tanks.
Sniper rifles
After noticing a number of little mutterings of complaint in videos featuring my mod, I've buffed up the damage on all the sniper rifles so it is much easier to kill enemy infantry when just firing without waiting for the cross-hair to charge up. I've also increased their ranges to match and exceed the other Planetside weapons I've added.
exactly what i have been waiting for!!! thx m8
I'm glad you're happy with it! I was somewhat worried this update would be seen as bit lackluster compared to previous releases.
M8 ?
You're amazing. Are you doing this solo?
Currently yes. Early on I got some tips and hints from more experienced modders but everything so far has been just me.
Well I applaud you... if there's anything I can do as a very VERY novice programmer I'd be glad to help lol
I'll keep you in mind if the work ever gets too much for me on my own, but let's hope I never get myself overloaded like that haha.
Do we put this in the planetside 2 mod in the mods folder or do we remove the older one to replace with a new one?
Remove the previous version and replace it with this one. Although just overwriting all the files would work too.
do you have to install the patch even with version 4.0 of this mod?
No, unless you want to make the lightning pretty much invulnerable from every side but the back again.
Hey Colt the mod isn't working. I can't set my faction into any of the added factions. Is this editor only? I hope not because I suck at the editor.
Unfortunately, it currently is editor only.
How do I get this to work? I put it in the mods folder, activated it on options/mods and I don't see any of PlanetSide's factions.
Brilliant work!
Base building base building ;) lol
