When I modify the hardpoint ranges, as you described, all my ships start the battle with the hardponts completely missing, with the ships flaming as if having taken damage. Even if I change just one hardpoint on just one ship, all ships in the game are affected. Am I doing something wrong?

Second, how can I modify the firing range of ground vehicles?

Here is an example. Nothing is modified except the hardpoint range.

<HardPoint Name="HP_Carrack_Weapon_FL">
         <Type> HARD_POINT_WEAPON_ION_CANNON </Type>
            <Is_Targetable>Yes</Is_Targetable>
            <Is_Destroyable>Yes</Is_Destroyable>
            <Tooltip_Text>TEXT_WEAPON_IONCANNON</Tooltip_Text>
            <Health>150.0</Health>

         <Death_Explosion_Particles> Large_Explosion_Space_Empire </Death_Explosion_Particles>
         <Death_Explosion_SFXEvent>Unit_Hardpoint_Turbo_Laser_Death</Death_Explosion_SFXEvent>


            <Model_To_Attach></Model_To_Attach>
            <Attachment_Bone>weap01</Attachment_Bone>
            <Collision_Mesh>weap01</Collision_Mesh>
            <Damage_Decal>weap01</Damage_Decal>
            <Damage_Particles>weap01</Damage_Particles>

         <Death_Breakoff_Prop>  </Death_Breakoff_Prop>

            <Fire_Bone_A>weap01</Fire_Bone_A>
            <Fire_Bone_B>weap01</Fire_Bone_B>
            <Fire_Cone_Width>360.0</Fire_Cone_Width>
            <Fire_Cone_Height>130.0</Fire_Cone_Height>
            <Fire_Projectile_Type>Proj_Ship_Ion_Cannon</Fire_Projectile_Type>
            <Fire_Min_Recharge_Seconds>3.0</Fire_Min_Recharge_Seconds>
            <Fire_Max_Recharge_Seconds>4.0</Fire_Max_Recharge_Seconds>
            <Fire_Pulse_Count>2</Fire_Pulse_Count>
            <Fire_Pulse_Delay_Seconds>0.2</Fire_Pulse_Delay_Seconds>
            <Fire_Range_Distance>4000.0</Fire_Range_Distance>
            <Fire_SFXEvent>Unit_Empire_Ship_Laser_Fire</Fire_SFXEvent>


         <Fire_Inaccuracy_Distance> Fighter, 40.0 </Fire_Inaccuracy_Distance>
         <Fire_Inaccuracy_Distance> Bomber, 70.0 </Fire_Inaccuracy_Distance>
         <Fire_Inaccuracy_Distance> Transport, 70.0 </Fire_Inaccuracy_Distance>
         <Fire_Inaccuracy_Distance> Corvette, 7.0 </Fire_Inaccuracy_Distance>
         <Fire_Inaccuracy_Distance> Frigate, 1.0 </Fire_Inaccuracy_Distance>
         <Fire_Inaccuracy_Distance> Capital, 10.0 </Fire_Inaccuracy_Distance>
         <Fire_Inaccuracy_Distance> SuperCapital, 1.0 </Fire_Inaccuracy_Distance>
    </HardPoint>

Hardpoints_IR.xml - the Praetor II is mainly just referred to as Praetor in the code (we don't have the first version of the class in the mod).

I'm having trouble finding the right XML file. Corey & Co, does anyone remember which file the Praetor II is in? That's the one model that I'm trying to adjust for range -- lower it a bit.

Each subsection there between <hard point> tags is a different hard point. What you're looking for is the <range> tag for each hardpoint

Excellent. Thanks a bunch Corey.

OK, I found the folder. Found the file. But now I don't know which part to edit...

Hardpoints_IR.xml, Hardpoints_NR.xm, Hardpoints_EotH.xml.. you get the idea!  You'll have to find and edit the hardpoints individually for each ship.

In what folder? Are the values "high" for long range, or "low" for long range? Do I need a special program to open and edit the file or will normal notepad do fine?

Hey Corey & Co. I had a quick question. What file do I go snooping into to find and edit the range at which ships can fire certain weapons?
