Infinite RC Range...?

D2K BOMBER

D2K BOMBER

Couldn't find any mods for it in the Release/Progress section, so I decided to try here.
If this mod has already been created, Please give me the link ^-^. And if not, then it's fine. It's just a minor thing that's easy to live without.
 
Try looking in Weapons.xtbl.
There's an entry for Special-RCVehicleGun
And a value of 1000 for Range_Max

You can try changing that to a really big number and see if that helps.
 
Where would this file be? Cause I can't find it in the folder with the .exe since I have no mods that modify that part of the game.
 
I believe it's contained in the Misc_tables.vpp_pc
 
As far as I know "Range_Max" in the "weapons.xtbl" only controls how far away you can "initiate" the hijack (or maybe rather how far the projectile can travel).

You might also want to change "RC_vehicle_gun_max_distance" in the "tweak_table.xtbl" for the distance when the signal is lost.

Code: 
from file tweak_table.xtbl
 
<Name>RC_vehicle_gun_max_distance</Name>
<Description>The maximum distance at which the RC gun can take/maintain control of a vehicle.</Description>
 
And how would I open these files? I've never really modified anything about the game myself so I have no experience.

The .vpp_pc archive
All moddable files in the game are packed into archives with a .vpp_pc extension. Inside these archives contain all sorts of files you can change. All of the vpp_pc files can be found here:
..\steam\steamapps\common\saints row the third\packfiles\pc\cache\

The most common vpp_pc that most modders extract to start with is misc_tables.vpp_pc. This archive contains a wealth of xtbl files controlling most settings of the open world like physics, vehicles, weapons, etc and are the easiest to edit.

The .xtbl file format
An .xtbl file is one of the many file types inside a vpp_pc archive. They are plain ascii text and can be edited with Notepad. If you have any experience with xml, then it will look very familiar to you with the same style format.

That are the basics. Hope you can manage. Otherwise if you can wait a few hours I might manage to find the time and do it for you. Sorry that it would take that long but I'm a student soon to be tested on the knowledge gained this semester.

Just would need to know what you imagined. Double the values? Increase them tenfold? Go nuts?

Edit: Ah... screw it I need a break anyway. So here are the two files. There are unchanged, except for a comment "Edit here" to point you to the right entry.
Just put them in the games root directory, where the main exe is. And change to suite your needs.

Happy modding.

That post linked above also has an extracted version of misc_tables.vpp_pc included so you can just grab that and edit the tweak_table.xtbl contained in the archive if you don't want to mess with the tools.

Just be careful... I imagine going too far can possibly cause issues with the game.

Like, for example, when you get too far away from civilians (peds and cars) they have a tendency to despawn... I wonder what happens if you get too far away from yourself
