Un-nerfing the VR orky

November 29, 2012 5:20:53 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

I've been looking at un-nerfing the VR orky so it doesn't have that "nyah nyah you're a sissy now" debuff when it jumps systems, but I'm really not sure where to find the entry for that.  Even if I could change it so that the debuff only lasted a second I would be quite happy.  Could somebody point me in the right direction please?

you could have a look in 'BuffPhaseStarbaseSameOrbitbodyDebuffRecourse.entity', it has a line that has a duration of 600( 10 minuites) assuming it is in seconds

and I also suggest creating a mod and puting your modified file in the mod

Why not just remove the ability from the Starbase entity file?

and do yourself a large favour... choose a better topic title that indicates that you want to mod it.... and that you not want to have it unnerved by the Devs.

 

That way you could avoid a few death by NERDRAGE on this forums...

I found that file late last night before I was about to give up and that's where I was going to start my un-nerfing adventure (and yes in a mod lol).  Change it out so it lasts only 5 seconds or so, then I can make sure that's indeed the one I want to change.

Cause I don't know how to do that, haven't played with the starbase entity files much, hasn't been a whole lot I've wanted to change up until now.

Nerdrage posts would still have bumped my thread and got people to look and read it, so I think my tactically worded title worked out well in my favour.

Open it up, delete the reference in ability 4 (at the top of the file)... and that's it. You're done.

Yeah but they'd be multiplayers, not modders. But no, zombie's right, clearly putting it in the modding section kept them away.

I'll have to try that then when I get a chance, see how well it works.

Has the Orky been nerfed much otherwise since initial launch?

Only the tech has been made progressively harder to get.

Well I just happened to open the file up, and this is the exact line.

ability:4 "AbilityPhaseStarbaseSameOrbitbodyDebuff"

Change it to ability:4 "" and you're good to go.

I'm not necessarily claiming this thread is bad, but I personally find it hilarious that people spend months bitching about OP jumping orky's and clamor for a nerf. Then it gets nerfed and now I find someone looking to un-nerf it. Not saying it's a bad idea per se, just a bit funny to me.

I play purely singleplayer and have never had a problem dealing with them (and also enjoy using them), so the lack of dealing with people cheesing them in multiplayer probably changes my opinion a bit.

That's because the AI can't use them.

Guess that's probably why it has never been a problem for me, minor detail.

Why not?

They don't seem to realize their starbases are capable of jumping, hence they never give them a jump order.

Drat...Oddski beat me here....by almost a month...that's what I get for playing perfect world all day I guess...

Anyway, glad to see somepony out there still has some love for the vasari empire.  With that debuff, the need for building-killers really becomes apparent for the vasari.  Their SB is supposed to be a structure killer, and it LOSES power during its initial attack?  I would have prefered a short term buff myself.
