That's not how any of this works. At all.

[Pandora]

Yeah, I once tried to only get the ships from a mod I liked but it is imposible since the java values won't match up then. You can only do it if you have knowledge of coding. If so good luck.

TL;DR
How TF do you change the missile engine color/fxs of the missiles in the game files?

.....
Long version:
Awesome Mod! Tons of content, beautiful ship designs, and fun AF weapons!

I have a small question, however. I’m new to modding this game so I am not familiar with all its file systems etc yet. I have made a few small tweaks to this mod for personal use.  The only thing I wanted to do that I can’t figure out is I wanted to change the color of the hekaton missiles to make them a bit more like the Reaper. That red glow looks awesome imo and helps me not lose track of where my missiles go in combat. I tried fiddling with what I thought where the correct files, mainly tahlan\data\weapons\proj\tahlan_hekaton_torp.proj but nothing I do seems to change the effects for the projectile. Just want to change the thrusters from yellow to red (as seen in GIF).
Any help, please?

TL;DR

in tahlan\data\weapons\proj\hekaton_torp.proj
change the following line:

Code

"engineColor":[255,160,50,255],

to

Code

"engineColor":[255,100,100,255],

of course, there is the problem that doing so may make it a bit confusing
so
if you encounter problems... well, you asked for it
literally

Still having some problems with the Legio siege bases. They just refuse to disappear after you destroy them, or ever (didn't check but I'm pretty sure one has lasted for like 5 cycles already with the siege long gone) I am on 0.3.14d.
Also you can spam bombardment on them and nothing happens.

[Nia Tahl]

no idea what's wrong with it. Can't reproduce the issue on my end.

[Kh0rnet]

"This is getting out of hand, now there are two of them!"

Yes, this is Askonia. RIP Philip, nobody really liked you, as evidenced by the fifty pirate fleets in your system.
By the way, you can see on the right of the radar the base that just won't go away.

Maybe just add some kind of failsafe guaranteed base destruction on saturated bombardment?

That’s what I’ve been doing. But nothing I do seems to make a difference.
...
Ok, I dont know what the hell I’ve just done but for whatever reason, It’s started working. Literally, all I was doing was changing those RGB values like I have a thousend times and it suddenly started working. Don’t know how I got it to work, but it's now red. I swear computers are freaky sometimes. The ghosts in the machine are showing lol.

Can you get it to reproduce with a minimal set of mods?  If so it can be debugged pretty easily, if it still happens when other mods are not present.

Speaking of Legio Siege events (w/ v0.3.14d), I've noticed that every time I enable Developer Mode through the Command Console mod and un-pause the game, a siege event is instantly spawned.

Here's the starsector.log output every time it occurs:

heya, great mod. i been trying to remove the super annoying circle around the natchegesang and it seems beyond my limited abilities. i got as far as figuring out that changing the java file in scripts doesnt do jack, and i guess i would need to change the .class file inside the java library... but i cant even read the file, never mind recompile it into something that wont just crash. i understand the purpose for it, just isnt worth cluttering up the view to me. downloaded and tried something called 'eclipse' to see if i could work on it with that, but it just claims the its corrupted.

at a total loss here, but kinda really want to get rid of that ring

It would take a while for me to do that in a new playthrough.

One thing that I should have mentioned earlier though: I am using Boggled's Player Station Construction (http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=17094.0): since it fiddles with the way stations work, could it be directly or indirectly responsible for the permanent Legio siege stations?

[Aranov]

I also am have the issue of Siege bases not being destroyed, and I also am using Boggled's Player Station Construction.
In fact, I destroyed LI by taking the Rubicon system, yet their Siege bases are still sitting there in hyperspace.

[Kh0rnet]

I disabled Station Construction and observed no immediate effects - the bases remain after destroying them in battle and/or saturation bombardment. Any method of dealing with this the hard way, like through the console mod perhaps?

Disabling sieges during a playthrough is sadly not an option.

It's a feature to allow easier testing. The thing devmode is for.

Start learning java then

If boggled breaks how stations work then there's nothing to be done there.

again, not my problem when other mods break it
