And what I meant was if it's a tiny tweak then it can be done easily without adding overhead to the developer's workload. In effect, these are the only kind of tweaks we can do, without tackling the UI as a whole
Unfortunately, Empires is way overdue for a serious UI overhaul. =[ Since MOOtant has proclaimed that weight does matter, then simply change the Vehicle customization to only show loadout weight and there will be an offset weight added due to the chassis type. Clearly labeled of course somewhere.
If I know how to program UIs I'd love to do it... I have ideas, free time and everything! I'm just two undumactated....
So does this value has currently any effect? vehicle_engines.txt: "Horsepower Weight Penalty" "0.1" //amount of max throttle reduction as vehicle weight exceeds Max Weight
something completely different, couldnt you just alter the vehicle_blahblah.txt files? theoretically (im to lazy and too used to the current system to try it out) it should show other values then (afaik emp uses that files to locally display weights and such) - could only be that you are no longer able to build your tanks then, but if you backup you could give it a try :confused:
Mind you, Max Weight on all engines is 2000 for standard and 5000 for everything else. The BE heavy tank maxes out at only 1337 weight.
