Title: Altering Turret Weaponry
Post by: eliex on February 06, 2009, 04:28:00 pm

Is there any specific way of knowing which turret is which on the Ship's Editor/Weapons? For example, I want to change a few weapon arrangements on a GTD Hecate, first off changing it's bottom frontal cannon to a BGreen.

After much guess and check, I managed to get it right, but is there any better way of doing that?

Cycle through them using K.

Hmmmmmmm. I wonder how hard it would be to highlight any turret you select in the ships editor.

Well if your are going to be playing in that part of the code can you make K highlight subsystems as well since that's what it's supposed to do in the first place?  Unless that's already but fixed in 3.6.10.   :cool:

Well, I just look at the POF in PCS2, then match the turret I want on the ship with the turret in the weapons list.
Works pretty well for me.
