Hello to all! I'm Kenneth. I come and peace and with some questions too:

How do you make the tank slow down quicker?
How do you adjust gravity?
How do you not make the fog kill you?
How do you set the tank's health?
How do you set the tank's ammo?

Hey Kenneth. I've seen you frequenting the Marble Blast forums, which I soon hope to join as well. Just got Marble Blast Gold and love it. Good to see you here though.

I looked at the link Jack gave me and it said nothing about putting something at the end of a .mis file like:

lighttank.maxspeed= 90;

Anywhere else I can look?

To make the fog not kill you, open the .mis file, and go to "floor" set it to -1000

For acceleration:
Lighttank.accelRate = 50;
(just edit the number to tell it how fast u want it to start)

For Deceleration:
Lighttank.deccelRate = 80;
(how strong u want their breaks)

For Speed:
LightTank.maxSpeed = 60;
(How fast u want the top speed)

and for no Slip: (I think it's this)
LightTank.antiSlideRate = 70;
(For no slip, set it to 0)

You need to specify what tank Light, Medium, Heavy and you can adjust the the numbers to your preference.

I Forgot, you just add them to the .mis file. I put them at the begining after //--- OBJECT WRITE BEGIN --- Others say to put them at the end before //--- OBJECT WRITE END --- , what ever works for you.

And, Racer, can you plz tell me these top secret codes? I do a bit of modding myself you know.

I don't understand the extent of modifications that you are talking about. Are these global changes that are made to the map being served or are these singular mods.....i.e. can a sped up tank play in a regular scrum game and (unfairly) reap the benefits of the modification?

How do you make the tank slow down quicker? : Lighttank.deaccelrate = 90;
How do you adjust gravity? : i dont know this... well...
How do you not make the fog kill you? : Change This:

new MissionArea(MissionArea) {
area = "-256 -256 512 512";
flightCeiling = "200";
flightCeilingRange = "0";
floor = "95";
locked = "false";

To this:

new MissionArea(MissionArea) {
area = "-512 -512 1028 1028";
flightCeiling = "200";
flightCeilingRange = "0";
floor = "0";
locked = "false";

How do you set the tank's health? : i dont know this
How do you set the tank's ammo?
I know how.. BUT, i cant tell.

@TG
This is for when you host a game that will have a global effect on all players.
If it was this easy to cheat, ThinkTanks would have died within 2 months of release!
I just noticed they encrypted the high-scores so that people can't give themselves UFOs on Homeland servers. I guess Cadc is legit.
