So I was thinking of trying to change the jump jets in a fundamental way, basically give them a lot more thrust, but make their reserve really low and their recharge rate slow as well, with the goal of making them useful more for short, tactical, arcing jumping maneuvers rather than flying across the map.

Anyways, my question is, apart from pyro.ini, are there any other files that I'd need to modify to accomplish this? Also, within pyro.ini, are the emitters called jetpack nozzle/jump light/jetpack/etc. the only ones I'd need to change?

Just thought I'd ask here first since I'm sure people have some knowledge on this already.

I Believe so, Yes, The Emitters for the Jetpacks are in Pyro.

I do believe this is what you'll need to edit. Someone else may correct me if I'm incorrect, but I believe Jump times are on the actors themselves.

Thanks, these files are real confusing though, so many different entries...I think I found all the entries except for recharge rate?

I heard there was a wiki but the site appears to be dead?

Ah yes, The Wiki is down until The owner pays the rent/whatever he does.
DoubleEdit: I am incorrect again.. it is still down. It appears to have been back up for a short amount of time.

Recharge rate is in the Actor's slab. Something like: JumpTime = * or something. It'll be near the CopyOf.

No, that's how much fuel you have measured in seconds, eg, JumpTime = 5 gives you five seconds of thrust.

Whoops, yeah, I used BurstSpacing for the jump jet. I had a low JumpTime as I wanted some emissions coming out after the initial burst.

The recharge is hardcoded. You can't change it.
