Modding SEV Thread Questions

But do you know the variable (like %range%) corresponding to the number of turns ?

This line comes from the components text but where is �Beam 10�? In the effects folder I see Beams_01 to 07 and there appears to be 4 beams per bit map. What if I want to change a weapon to another display beam type? I hope the modding gets easier as the game is developed more, or at least a really good guide is created!

Anti-Proton Beam
Weapon Space Display Effect Name = Beam 10

That's specified in BitmapEffects_SpaceCombat.txt.

You see now I was thinking that, hence the reference to 4 per bit map. I just didn�t want to say it and sound nuts.

Just think of it as a wealth of modding possiblities...

Would someone know about the functions that can be used in facility requirement ?
I would like to create requirement such like :
Planet already has one facility with ability X
Sum of amount1 of ability Y on Planet <= Y

Would you know such functions (like I know already for component) ?

I�m a little confused here, I see this descriptor however how does SE5 know to only place one per ship?

Ability 3 Type := Description Only
Ability 3 Description := Only 1 Survey Instruments per vehicle effective.
Ability 3 Scope := Space Object
Ability 3 Range Formula := 0
Ability 3 Amount 1 Formula:= 0
Ability 3 Amount 2 Formula:= 0

Is there another entry that controls this, there must be but what is it? What is the limit for how many I can place; as in SE4 where I could place up to 10 per?
