Yep, r4, and I changed the laser on the Kestrel from "LASER_BURST_3" to "LASER_BURST_5" and changed the damage of that laser to 4.

What program did you use to change the game files? Maybe you could upload the changed files somewhere so we can take a look?

Re: [Modding] Packing and unpacking data.dat and resource.da
Are you entering the directory with the .xml files or the directory above that to pack the .dat file? You need to enter the directory with the /data/ directory in order to preserve the correct .dat file structure.
E.g. when you use "Extract all..." the directory you choose must be the same as the directory you choose when you use "Pack folder..."

So, should the directory I choose be the one with every .xml file in it, or the directory with the "data unpacked" folder in it?Kronikarz wrote:Are you entering the directory with the .xml files or the directory above that to pack the .dat file?

Re: [Modding] Packing and unpacking data.dat and resource.da
So it'd work if I put it in a folder called "data" that had a folder called "data.dat-unpacked" in it?
