common_res.engcfg WEAPONS

[bearcat83]

Hi guy´s

i´ve just build some new weapons in the common_res.engcfg, but i had some problems with the rate of fire ...

is there someone who knows the meaning of all entry´s for a weapon?

for example my MK 108 for a Me-109K
"

"10- 0.1                     > rate of fire > one shot every 0.1seconds = 600 rounds/minute (should be...)"

but if i try the gun in a tank and change the magazine size to 600 rounds ... after one minute of firing ... still 300 rounds are left in the mag

but i´ve the KI use it in the plane ... it look´s like that it shot´s faster - maybe the 600 /min


next thing is: how can i change the accuracy of the KI using the gun´s --> like the Infantry using there rifles --> would like to make them less accurate

in the shells() part of the common_res.engcfg i can only change iit for both (player and KI)

BUL_792,0x01,%SHELL_AP%,BUL_792,797   ,40,0.5,0.3,0,1,0,0,0.0128,0,0.6,8,5   ,5   ,0.1,0,1,1,1,,,,,,fly1,0,800,1,txt_shell_bul792,apmg_expl_pat,rico_pat_bul,piece_pat
,0,1,1,1,1,0xffff4040,2,0.7,-1,-1,-1;

but i tried to put the number up to 20, 20 and the KI infantry is deadly accurate as before

Let's take the gun C53.

C53,0,%WEAP_RBARRET%,54.6,85,1,0.35,0.1,1,1,0,8,1,1,0.75,shot_f34,reload1,,drop1,1,txt_gun_C53,gun_shot_pat,,C53;

1. С53 - name
2. 0 – flags (х80- bombardment, х01-autoload), (data\k42\loc_rus\levels\levels\common\weap_defs.engcfg)
3. %WEAP_RBARRET% -  type
4. 54.6 - barrel length, cal
5. 85 - caliber, mm
6.  1 - coefficient of the recoil
7.  0.35 - back-blow, m (how long the barrel will go back after shot)
8.  0.1 - time of back-blow, s (how long the barrel goes back in sec)
9.   1 - time of uprush, s (how long the barrel goes forward in sec)
10. 1 - the number of the cartridges quantity in the magazine
11. 0 - time to replace a magazine, s (for the machine gun)
12. 8 - reload time of the one shell, s
13. 1 - dependence on the loader expirience
14. 1 - the quantity of the smoke at the shot
15.  0.75 - the value of the liftable dust
16. shot_f34 - shot sound (data/k42/loc_rus/sounds/shots)
17. reload1 - reload sound (data/k42/loc_rus/sounds/inner)
19. « » - sound of the magazine changing (data/k42/loc_rus/sounds/inner)
20. drop1 - sound of the droped-out case/shell (data/k42/loc_rus/sounds/inner)
21. 1 -  the quantity of the shots in the burst for the AI
22.  txt_gun_C53 - text name of the gun (not used in the game), (data/k42/loc_rus/text/loc_kit.text or SPM1.5 NTA 1.3_units.text )
23. gun_shot_pat - pattern of the shot
24. « » - weapon geometry (only for the wearable weapon)
25. С53 - gun marker (config name of the gun for "ammo" e.g. different gun´s can use the same ammo, like the F34, ZIS3 and PP27)
============
So, if we want to calculate the rate of fire, i.e. for our virtual MG, then we must know:

8.  time of back-blow - 0.21s
9.  time of uprush - 0.1s
11. time to replace a magazine - 1s

let's adding:
0.21+0.1+1=1.31
Finally: 60sec/1.31sec~46 shots per minute

In SF the rate of fire of all weapons is very decreased. I think because of the stupid AI who will shoot all cartridges for a couple minutes

thank you!!!

but i can´t read  the numbers 13 - 25 .... english please!!!

ok, anything about changing the accuracy of the gun´s

[lockie]

thank you!!!

With my pleasure
In fact, will1973 informed me how to calculate the rate of fire. Thanks to him!

ok, anything about changing the accuracy of the gun´s

There nothing to add.
Parameters

Code:

17 KVO x (square deviation on X)
18 KVO y (square deviation on Y)

are exactly responsible for the accuracy. In case, if u didn't satisfy, then simply increase the value, i.e. `200` instead `20` or even `2000`
