True Tank Droid 1.0.0

Makes the tank droid more tank-like. 

SUMMARY

The tank droid is a pretty cool unique enemy in TSL, but a couple of things bother me about it. I always found it disappointing that it has these giant gun barrels which look like they’re for launching missiles, like a tank, but instead it just tosses frag grenades at you. The game even has functioning rockets but for whatever reason they weren’t given to the tank droid. It also has a super high defense which makes it dodge attacks like the Matrix, which feels pretty odd. This is just a feature of the game mechanics, but it becomes particularly glaring on the tank droid. I mean it’s a giant droid, can it really be that hard to hit?

This mod makes a few changes to make the tank droid more true to form. It will now shoot rockets instead of throwing grenades. These are not your average wrist rockets; they are bigger and more deadly, dealing 60 pts of piercing AOE damage. Additionally, the tank droid gets a -5 defense penalty for being a chonker but its base health is doubled and it gets Master Toughness granting -10% damage immunity. Its natural energy resistance is also reduced from -15 to -10 but it gains -5 slashing, piercing and bludgeoning resistance. Essentially you’ll miss significantly less but you’ll need more hits using the right weapons and moves to take it down.

INSTALLATION

To install, run TSLPatcher.exe. Unaltered copies of any modified files will be placed inside the backup folder in the location of TSLPatcher.exe.

UNINSTALLATION

Remove the following files from Override: c_drdmkfour001.utc, crhide_tankdroid.uti, c_tankdroid.mdl, c_tankdroid.mdx, w_roktank.mdl, w_roktank.mdx, m_imp_tankrocket.ncs, m_rnd_tankdroid.ncs, and spells.2da. If any files were created inside the backup folder, move them to Override. 

COMPATIBILITY

Should be compatible with most other mods unless they edit the tank droid. When in doubt, install this mod after others. This mod edits the c_tankdroid model to line up the rocket with the gun barrels a little better, which will overwrite any model changes made by other mods, though I’m not aware of any.
