Specifically I mean buildings. I have an idea to change factions towers. Basically I think about towers as kind of watch post, something to see more land, not defend. I would like to decrease capacity to 1 soldier but for exchange increase conquer range and possibly visibility range. I searched this forum and tried googling but did not found informations how could I possibly do it. Thanks in advance for help. Top Quote

The reason is that currently one has to change the settings you want at runtime of a game, but your idea should be applied during initialization of a game (changing the tribes militarysites). There is an open pull request to change some of the points in your idea during initialization. If this pull request get merged the new possibilities will be available in the developement version, but are not official yet. Currently your idea can be scripted as an addon, but will possible lead to desyncs in multiplayer games. If you want to get some help anyway about scripting your idea, please open another topic Top Quote

Usually such settings are defined in text files and it's easy for modding. I hope it will be this way in this game too, at some point. I don't care about multiplayer Top Quote

They are scripts that can be edited easily with an text editor. Information about sysntax and content of them can be found in the link kaputtnik provided. the files themselves can be found in the data directory of your installation. Most of them are in the tribes subfolder. For modding you could simply copy the data directory and use the modded version while specifying the --datadir commandline option on startup. You may want to search the forum how to use it. Top Quote

I have to learn how to make it as mod, so I don't have to copy from backup after game's updates. Thanks once again, it's so awsome Top Quote

If there are any other properties of any units you'd like to be able to change via add-on scripting, please mention it here In the long run I intend to make all properties of all units modifyable like this, but I prefer to implement every aspect only when it's first needed, as unused code is bug-prone.
