Hi!
I'm new to the forum.
Let me know if you can change the values (range, cost, speed, experience, power of the shot, etc. ...) of the units of a mod (eg Spring 1944)?
Need a program?
Let me know!
Thank you!

hello,
I am letting you know.
http://springrts.com/wiki/Units-UnitDefs
Any text editor will do (I prefer LuaEdit myself)
I am wondering, out of curiosity, why would you want to do this?

Use
7-zip to unpack .sdz and .sd7.
Rename the folder you unpacked the mod into /whatever
.sdd/
First thing, open modinfo.lua with any text editor and modify the version field, so as to avoid confusion.
Open the files in /units/ with any text editor and modify the values.
Do NOT upload unless you have checked whether it's ok with the mod authors.
Note: If you have gotten your mod from rapid or similar, I have no idea how to remake mod archive from file dust.

rapid --help would be a good start
there's a command that makes an archive again, something like:
rapid --repack, --create-sdz, etc, don't remember it really

Some of those values e.g. range, power of shot etc. are actually weapon attributes not unit attributes. S44's weapons have a (afaik) unique OO-style definition but the tags remain the same; the wiki article on wepaon tags isn't as up to date though:

In fact I could not find unity in the values of the weapon.
The values of the weapon is in the files. Tdf inside the folder "weapons".

Some weapons remain as tdfs, but most (all non-tank weapons) are now lua

Ok, FLOZi!
Thank you!
Can you tell me if the radius of the mod is in meters?
