Title: Coaxing starfarer to reload weapon stats
Post by: Ghoti on September 03, 2012, 06:16:30 AM

I'd like to do tweaks and tests to get ships balanced right without having a 50 minute restart procedure. Does the developer mode have a button or hotkey, or some sort of threshold that I have to jump in and out of to get starfarer to reload the .csv's an .wpn, .proj, .ship, ect ect ect.?

F8 i believe, reload the entire game plus files and script changes.

*F8 while in battle
In dev mode, just click 1 and you'll enter a dev test battle.  press F8 and leave.

Important Note: using F8 may cause a crash down the line in the same session. Not sure about circumstances, since it doesn't generally get in the way - just mentioning it so that you don't think it's necessarily a bug with what you're doing, or with the game itself.

Yah. It would be silly to report bugs that are related to development tools. (like the number 5 for example.)

Well, still a bug - just not exactly worth fixing :) The reason I wanted to point it out is that when it happens, it's not obvious that it IS related to devmode stuff.
