Has anyone found the amount of ship cannons, yet? EDIT: I have sorta..

Hey guys & gals,

I have been searching for a few days for the amount of cannons that each ship type can have, but I have had no luck.

I've tried modding each number in the unit_stats_naval and units.

I've tried modding each number in the projectiles.

I've also tried using the ESF editor with saved games and startpos.esf and no hope

I've even downloaded the NavalEditor.exe and still nothing.

I spent days changing each individual number inside these files and reloading the game, but nothing seems to change the number of cannons;except if you change the type of cannons in the unit_stats_naval under db. You can take out the types and only start each battle with half your cannons, so I figured it may be inside the projectiles.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks : )~

I think it has to do with the actual ship model. Since each ship has a specific number of portholes (or whatever they're called) for cannons, the number of guns on them is probably hardcoded.

Ahh ok and we still don't have a version of PFM that will read that file?

Ok guys, I found it.

Inside unit_stats_naval under DB. I have a screenshot here that shows the row to edit to set the ship cannon amount;however, it seems we cannot exceed the total amount yet :/

I.E. You set this to 50, it will show up 25 cannons in game. Set it to 100, it will show up 50 cannons in game, etc.

It's a start, I guess. Would be nice to figure out how to edit the total number

Thats just editing the number of gunners, the number of guns on the ship will still be the same there just won't be enough crew to man them all. The only way to edit the number of guns on a ship is through the ship model.

And still there is no way of change the current models... or am I wrong?

Ahh ok, makes sense.

Yeah I don't think we can edit the ship models yet, would be nice if we could get an update on PFM to do so, or to even update some of the inaccurate information.
