Adding Grapeshot

[SSJPabs]

So I found the older grapeshot thread... but I'm doing something wrong because I'm getting EDU errors for the Culverin (and Basilisk I bet, but I am not getting that far in the bootup). If someone could point out where I went wrong I'd appreciate it.

In the other thread it was said: "You also have to look at the range of grapeshot in the descr_projectile.txt file because the projectile type has a maximum range that you might have to increase as well." But I don't see any thing to increase. And how do I find out what to increase it by?

try add this:

stat_ter_attr no

after

stat_ter 65, 3, grape_shot, 115, 10, siege_missile, artillery_gunpowder, blunt, none, 26, 1

stat_ter 65, 3, grape_shot, 115, 10, siege_missile, artillery_gunpowder, blunt, none, 26, 1
stat_ter_attr no

[Eothese]

stat_ter_attr ap, launching could help.
Apart from that it looks fine, which line is line 13502 in your EDU?

[JaM]

you dont need to give it launching attribute - simple no attribute would work fine.

Ah, I added AP launching and it worked, you both might be right as I did not realize there were three lines instead of two to the entry. I tested it out in a custom battle and it works just fine. Thanks to you both.
