Would this work as a standalone ? I would love to just buff the beams

I found this randomly looking foe fps boost. Sounds great. I'm going to make a beam capital ship

You can do it yourself, just unpack the mod with X-Tools, then edit all the bullet_xxxx_macro.xml files with a text editor and change the damage values to a higher number, then delete the ext_01.cat and ext_01.dat files, the mod will work unpacked with the changed values.

Any chance of increasing the damage to +50% instead of just +30%?

Also, is that +30% the amount per beam, or the amount total?

Oops, thanks

That's not a bad idea, I may do it when I update the mod next time.

Make the beam bullet dual beam(barrelamount = 2) will significantly increase the "accuracy". Significantly increase the ability to counter small target.

1. Extract the ext_01.dat file using the X Catalog Tool into the same directory.
( X4 Foundations\extensions\vturretboostb\ )

You should get these subdirs:

assets\fx\weaponFx\macros\
extensions\ego_dlc_split\assets\fx\weaponfx\macros\
extensions\ego_dlc_terran\assets\fx\weaponfx\macros\

2. In these subdirs edit all the .xml files one by one and change the damage values in this line : " <replace sel="//damage/@value">191</replace> "
change the number 191 to something higher to increase the damage

3. Delete the ext_01.cat and ext_01.dat so the game will use the extracted and changed files (don't delete the content.xml file)

Also unsubscribe the mod otherwise steam will probably download the cat/dat files again.

Yes, this needs the base Vanilla Turret Boost mod.

i figured out myself that you NEED the original Vanilla Turret Boost in order for this to work, awesome thanks a lot!!

do you still need the original Vanilla Turret Boost mod? or simply just this?
