Title: Editing MiniMagnets
Post by: Reapersraven on June 14, 2011, 12:26:23 PM: I would like some assistance in editing MiniMagnets to make them stronger in Repel and Stranger in Attract.

Also, would anyone happen to know if there's a minimagnet bot in the bot exchange?

Post by: Reapersraven on June 14, 2011, 01:14:59 PM: Could you PM me a tutorial, basic, on how to edit the EXE for it, and I'm only one with magnets on it. It's for single player only.

What happens if you change elecMaxInOutRate?

It just changes the power drain. Doubt it would change the actual magnet power in a half finished video game.

Im currentl trying to AI, not going well. For me to mod would be a miracle. Anyway Reaper it is nice to see so many people modding. Keep up the good work.
