With the warfare 2 update adding auto-leading and custom controllers, having a no-drop version makes little sense. Also, the lack of drop seems to screw with the gravity compensation in vanilla turret controllers. I consider this obsolete now, but will keep it up. Will post updates to the normal rebalance to make it a premium AC compared to vanilla.

Would also be a good idea to get permission from inky too.

I would need to see the files to understand what is going on, you can send here or in dms, I sent a friend req.

Okay so now it's refusing to explode full stop, like the ammo effect is still the same just with the names changed but it's not working, theres still a muzzle flash but no explosion after impact, oh and sorry for spamming your comments btw

Okay so, I got it to work and exist as a separate block to the default however, it's refusing to explode post penetration

Ultimately, and if I can even work out how to, I'd like to be able to add shell types to give the weapon different effects, like AP and HE and APFSDS etc but I'm guessing given the weapon's properties are dictated by the weapon and not the ammo that would require some extra code

Okay so say for simplicity I wanted to just change how INKY's 105mm works and make it effectively fire APHE, will the other WeaponConfig.cs floats actually work for this weapon? Like explode post penetration and reducing the penetration distance (but not damage) then if they do actually work I'd also need to change Ammo and AmmoMagazines if I wanted the base dmg and velocity to change, then to get the config changes working I'll have to rename the config file so it reads that config and not Railgun's one. Is that the right idea?

Well you need to also edit the config damage values in MODROOTDIR\Data\Scripts\Inkys35\ along with Ammos.sbc in \Data, and AmmoMagazines.sbc handles physical properties of the ammo item like mass and volume. If you want to make your rebalance work alongside instead of replacing Inky's weapons, it takes quite a bit more work.

Additionally you need to set a new config file name in WeaponConfigs.cs in the scripts folder, ex:

ConfigID = "Inky35VLXSmartGun",
ConfigFileName = "Inky35VLXSmartGun.sbc"

the config ID I believe is the folder of the folder in the script (Inkys35Gun) and ConfigFileName needs its name changed. This is because for some reason it creates a config and reads values from AppData\Roaming\SpaceEngineers\Storage\2013340341.sbm_WeaponFramework\ModConfigName instead of directly from the weaponsconfigs.cs

Hey Leafnie, I've been trying to customise INKY's cannons myself (for private use) but I can't figure out how to actually change the projectile values, none of the changes I make have any effect. I'm really new to modding so I'd appreciate any help you could provide!
