Modding SW3?

[tchan5158]

Hi yall

I've went through SW1 and 2's carcasses file to change Raptor_pl0's speed, armor, energy, maneuverability, and steering power, but encountered a problem when attempting to plug in the same numbers in SW3.

When the ship engages in combat, it gets close to the enemy, attempts to attack, but then speeds off at max speed (7000) until it disappeared from my local camera view. =( It returns later on to resume the attack but it barely shot off more than a few rounds until it speeds off again.

Raptor's stats:
<max_speed>70</max_speed>
<maneurability>50</maneurability>
<steering_power>5000</steering_power>

I don't think the other stats that I've changed would affect this weird speeding off behavior. I tried putting the speed to only 25, but even at that, it speeds off while attacking, but doesn't go as far as 70

I also tried increasing the mass to 80000, but it still did that speeding behavior. I was hoping the mass would weigh it down, since I use the same numbers for speed on my Mothership_arba, and she handles like a dream.

Thanks for any replies
