Could you help me, what I should modify to mount cutting/mining lasers to a light hardpoint? Is it possible just by modifying the .ini files?
I’m trying to modify weapons, and in the process I got the idea of using the comsec’s light hardpoint for something more useful. I’d like to be able to mount beam weapons there (more than just the comms laser).
I tried looking at the ini’s for the beam, for the weapon, the ship, and the loadout. If I change the hardpoint to a medium one, I can fit lasers there, but I’d like to alter the laser’s specs to mount them on light ones. Is it possible without touching the lws files?
I did not find any reference as to where a weapon could be mounted in the weapons’ ini file, neither in the ship, or loadout files. I can only guess that it’s in the subsims/mountpoints somewhere. I opened the light_cannon_mount.ini, but I didn’t understand the info inside:
[Class]
name=icMountPoint
[Properties]
name=mountpoint_light_cannon_mount
; The type of this mountpoint - meaningful to the icMountPoint class
type=4096
hardpoint=1
Maybe the ‘type’ is the key here? But then where can I find info on it?
Thanks in advance
