Re: editing upgrades

Assuming you've unpacked the Gamedata, head into your configs\weapons\upgrades directory and find the file for the weapon you wish to edit.
Scroll down all the way to the bottom and you should see text like this, I'm using the Abakan file as an example.

Code:

[up_gr_ab_abakan]

elements                = up_a_abakan, up_b_abakan
 

[up_gr_cd_abakan]

elements                = up_c_abakan, up_d_abakan
 

[up_gr_ef_abakan]

elements                = up_e_abakan, up_f_abakan
 

[up_gr_gh_abakan]

elements                = up_g_abakan, up_h_abakan
 

[up_gr_i_abakan]

elements                = up_i_abakan
 

[up_gr_j_abakan]

elements                = up_j_abakan
 
 

[up_gr_ac_abakan]

elements                = up_ac_abakan
 

[up_gr_bd_abakan]

elements                = up_bd_abakan
 

[up_gr_eg_abakan]

elements                = up_eg_abakan
 

[up_gr_fh_abakan]

elements                = up_fh_abakan
 

[up_gr_aceg_abakan]

elements                = up_aceg_abakan
 

[up_gr_bdfh_abakan]

elements                = up_bdfh_abakan

The bolded text tells the game that those upgrades are mutually exclusive, you can only have one or the other. Change the lines to read like the ones not bolded.

IE:

Code:

[up_gr_ab_abakan]

elements                = up_a_abakan, up_b_abakan
 

[up_gr_cd_abakan]

elements                = up_c_abakan, up_d_abakan
 

[up_gr_ef_abakan]

elements                = up_e_abakan, up_f_abakan
 

[up_gr_gh_abakan]

elements                = up_g_abakan, up_h_abakan

Becomes

Code:

[up_gr_a_abakan]

elements                = up_a_abakan
 

[up_gr_b_abakan]    

elements                = up_b_abakan
 

[up_gr_c_abakan]

elements                = up_c_abakan
 

[up_gr_d_abakan]

elements                = up_d_abakan
 

[up_gr_e_abakan]

elements                = up_e_abakan
 

[up_gr_f_abakan]    

elements                = up_f_abakan
 

[up_gr_g_abakan]

elements                = up_g_abakan
 

[up_gr_h_abakan]

elements                = up_h_abakan

At least, I think. Haven't tried it, but it should work. Report back with your results.

Re: editing upgrades

That would be the way to go, when I tried pulling that with armors a while ago it started crashing (with an empty .log nonetheless) if I had too many elements though, it only worked up to a point.

Oh and don't forget to edit the weapon's .ltx file too and update the names in its "UPGRADES =" field

Code:

upgrades                = up_gr_ab_abakan, up_gr_cd_abakan, up_gr_ef_abakan, up_gr_gh_abakan, up_gr_i_abakan, up_gr_j_abakan

and change them to read

Code:

upgrades                = up_gr_a_abakan, up_gr_b_abakan, up_gr_c_abakan, up_gr_d_abakan, up_gr_e_abakan, up_gr_f_abakan,  up_gr_g_abakan,  up_gr_h_abakan, up_gr_i_abakan, up_gr_j_abakan
