Re: Help a newbie modder here!!! For an actor's armor (Attachable), you want to increase GibWoundLimit, which determines how many wounds the thing can take before gibbing, and GibImpulseLimit, which determines the amount of kinetic force it takes to gib. You might also want to check out the JointStrength and JointStiffness of the piece; lower JointStiffness is better and higher JointStrength is better. JointStrength is, of course, how well the object is attached to its parent object, and JointStiffness is how much force is transferred from the child object to the parent object.

Re: Help a newbie modder here!!! Ok....
But what if I want to change the durability of an actor,for example the coalition light soldier,how do i change the toughness of the said actor
AtomGroup = AtomGroup
AutoGenerate = 1
Material = Material
CopyOf = Kevlared Flesh
Resolution = 4
Depth = 0
DeepGroup = AtomGroup
AutoGenerate = 1
Material = Material
CopyOf = Civilian Stuff
Resolution = 6
Depth = 3
DeepCheck = 0

Re: Help a newbie modder here!!! Same thing applies to actors as well (GibWoundLimit, GibImpulseLimit). Though, actors also have ImpulseDamageThreshold, which is the amount of impulse force they take before losing health.
Materials determine how well particles can penetrate the object to create a wound, and the physical properties like bounce and friction.

Re: Help a newbie modder here!!! In Base.rte/Materials.ini, you can find all of the default materials. The first one, Air, shows what variable does what for the material: Code: AddMaterial = Material
Index = 0
PresetName = Air
Bounce = 0.8
Friction = 0
// The impulse force (kg * m/s) that is needed to knock loose a terrian
// pixel of this material.
StructuralIntegrity = 0
DensityKGPerVolumeL = 1.0
GibImpulseLimitPerVolumeL = 15
GibWoundLimitPerVolumeL = 0.1
// The priority that a pixel of this material has to be displayed, etc.
// The higher the number, the higher the priority.
Priority = 0
// The material to create instead of this one for special effects when knocked loose, etc.
// 0 here means to create this material.
// The natural color to set the MO particle to when being knocked loose from the terrain.
Color = Color
R = 255
G = 0
B = 255
// Whether to use the own natural color when a pixel of the terrain of this material
// is knocked loose (1), or not (0)
UseOwnColor = 0
To make an object's material stronger, you either need to change the material that the object uses to a different material (either to one that alreay exists or to a new one that you make): Code: ///// Original:
AtomGroup = AtomGroup
AutoGenerate = 1
Material = Material
CopyOf = Military Stuff
Resolution = 2
Depth = 0
DeepGroup = AtomGroup
AutoGenerate = 1
Material = Material
CopyOf = Military Stuff
Resolution = 4
Depth = 1
///// Changed to:
AtomGroup = AtomGroup
AutoGenerate = 1
Material = Material
CopyOf = Mega Metal
Resolution = 2
Depth = 0
DeepGroup = AtomGroup
AutoGenerate = 1
Material = Material
CopyOf = Mega Metal
Resolution = 4
Depth = 1
Or modify the material that the object is currently using: Code: ///// Original:
AtomGroup = AtomGroup
AutoGenerate = 1
Material = Material
CopyOf = Military Stuff
Resolution = 2
Depth = 0
DeepGroup = AtomGroup
AutoGenerate = 1
Material = Material
CopyOf = Military Stuff
Resolution = 4
Depth = 1
///// Changed to:
AtomGroup = AtomGroup
AutoGenerate = 1
Material = Material
CopyOf = Military Stuff
PresetName = My New Unique Material Name
StructuralIntegrity = 999999999
Resolution = 2
Depth = 0
DeepGroup = AtomGroup
AutoGenerate = 1
Material = Material
CopyOf = My New Unique Material Name
Resolution = 4
Depth = 1

Re: Help a newbie modder here!!! Whats wrong with "Armoured Flesh"? It's just a more more dense, more durable flesh material that's used for heavy actors.
