So, i have been thinking a lot about your ideal (i am pretty sure it was near the beginning of this thread) to redo the coolness levels for weapons to make NCTH better. I did some restructuring of my own and tried it out, here is what i found.

It does indeed make NCTH and by proxy the game itself much more fun. But it completely breaks OCTH, mostly because OCTH is based on range more than anything, NCTH is not.

A lot of people still use OCTH, smeagol even makes OCTH the default for aimnas and though there is an unoficial NCTH patch for aimnas it is not set up right.

So i have been thinking about how to fix this. And there is sadly no easy way. At first i thought making wo seperate XML files was best, but as someone who tinkers with the xmls a lot, it did not take long to realize what a nightmare keeping up with two sets of xmls was. So to make a long story short, the best way would be to add a new field to all the weapons called NCTHcoolness or something. But this is still not an easy fix, because the enemy equipment tables and the drop tables need to be restructured. The way i see it, they need to either have two copies each (one for ncth and one for octh) or they need to be eliminated from the game.

Obviously removing the need for them is going to be the easiest solution for moders, by far. What i think would replace them is the enemy would get to choose anything from the current coolness level or maybe sometimes one or two coolness levels up or down. I actually think that makes sense anyways, if you can buy it on bobby rays, shouldn't diedranna and her men be able to as well?

I admit i know little about the drop tables, I almost always play with enemy drop all turned on. But i would imagine they need some solution other than having to have two of them. Imp and merc starting gears may also be a problem.

Finally, if you make these changes, the ability to change between octh and ncth during a game needs to be removed. The player needs to choose at the beginning, and stick with his /her choice.
