How does one go about increasing the speed at which weapon animations occur? Specifically, I want to increase the 'apparent' projectile speed of many mass-driver and missile type weapons (especially the graviton driver, singularity driver, photon torpedoes, and space cannon).
There doesn't seem to be any simple way (XML file for example) of doing that.
In the galciv2\gfx\weapons folder are the actual weapon effect files, editable via notepad. Unfortunately, they don't seem as straightforward to mod as the xml files.
I'll look around for a guide for editing the wfx.x files, and see if there is a way for decreasing the actual number of frames for each animation (deleting, say, every other frame). Increasing the rate at which the frames cycle would work too, though I imagine that would be more complicated.
Hmmm...strange. I can view them (although, come to think of it, it does explain why they are displayed as masses of incomprehensible code.)
Is there a utility for viewing/editing .x files?
.X is a file format for DirectX models, which is why they refer to the textures stored in the same folder. You'll need to research them a bit more if you want to mod those, unless you already know all about them of course.
