Anyway, the reason I'm back is cos' I've come to realise that in Trek movies ans in the Trek series the Romulans are using *GREEN* photon torpedoes, yet they use those really crappy messy balls of plasma in SFC3. Now, I temporarily fixed this problem by adding in Gravimetric Torpedoes, seeing as they're the closest thing visually but I've tweaked all Borg weapons so now it actually DOES take a fleet of ships to inflict damage on a Borg Cube (personal single player conquest campaign) and now the Romulans are 'el-sh*tto' yet again...(Why do I care? I dunno, waste a few Roms and no one cares anyway...)
I REALL REALLY need to know IF there is a way to add a new weapon into SFC3 using the sounds from a Federation photon torp and the textures of the grav torp? There's gotta be a way...c'mon guys sratch your heads (or arses, depending on what it is you do when you think) and get back to ASAP, please...
Cheers guys, DarkWolf out.

Before I had used the Grav Torp, however seeing as I have tweaked Borg weaponry to a scale of nearly 150% more powerful it would give the Roms an advantage (and I can't have that happening, nor can I have a strong Borg Cutting Beam backed up by a very weak heavy weapon can I?) and I don't want to use a standard photon.
There has got to be a way to make a new weapon type. I've been skimming through some of the files and noticed that references to the weapon types are placed in certain key files. Would adding/modifying a line in these files result in the creation of a new weapon. Normally I'd go right ahead and experiment, but I have no idea where to begin. Any of you Taldren boys know WTF to do?

No way to add new weapons, but you can Retexture and Resound them (right? They did leave that in RIGHT!?)

) then used the k-torp for the rommis and played with the sound file to get the sound i wanted and messed with the k-torp bitmap to get the green colour,

But it would be SOOOOOO much easier to use find/replace to replace any 'K-photon' with 'Photon', then any 'Plasma' with 'K-Photon'....

Also, I was reading somewhere else about a guy who wanted to make a new shield type. I've done it...Regenerative shielding (just a name, the shields regenerate at a standard rate), I made it standard on the Prometheus that I downloaded. It can withstand multiple hits by Borg weaponry, but due to the fact that they are now adequately powerful enough to pose a significant threat, they don't last for very long...
Oh, one last thing...I haven't got the beta patch (so we'll blame it on the original version) but while facing off a Borg Cube I noticed it wasn't firing at me...then I realised that it has that wepaons jamming bug where weapons won't fire. I was in a fully upgraded (and tweaked) Soveriegn with Type-XIIs and Q-Torps all round...I spent a half hour pounding it (I've also upgraded their armour strength) with all I've got and when that only scratched it I did the whole 'metaphasic shield' thing and pushed the damn Cube into the sun...you know how cool it sounds when millions of Borg Drones fry to a crisp? Sweeeeet...
