TankDB problem

i have been trying to fix a problem with the tanks for like 3 months and i cant do it! the problem is the tanks die within 1-5 shots. can someone tell me how to reset the file or tell me what to change

Code:

datablock TankData(LightTank : MediumTank)

{

  shapeFile = "~/data/shapes/tanks/tank01.dts";

  brainShapeFile = "~/data/shapes/tanks/brainjar01.dts";



  maxSpeed = 15.9;          // meters per second (in forward direction)

  accelRate = 14.0;        // increase velocity this many meters per second

  deccelRate = 20.0;        // when breaking, decrease velocity

  turnRate = 61.0;          // degrees per second

  antiSlideRate = 10.9;



  turretHorRange = 53.5;    // range in +/- degrees of turret horizontally

  turretAutoLevel = 0.92;



  damageAmount = 11.8;      // total amount of damage tank can withstand

  suspensionRange = 0.8;    // proportion of wheel size for wheel to move up/down



  damageScale = 1.0;        // multiply damage we do to others by this amount

  armorScale = 1.0;        // multiply damage we take by this amount (note: smaller better)



  defaultProjectile = "LightProjectile";

  ai = GoldLightAI;

};



Make sure the you have these correct:
damageAmount = 11.8;
damageScale = 1.0;

tank god ty pinkfloyd!!! i have been changing damage scale only

Code:

ok man, change the shape file, where it says "shape file"
if you wanna change the medium tank just find

"datablock TankData(MediumTank)"
and then find shapeFile.....

if you wanna change medium to heavy just edit shapeFile to "game/data/shapes/tanks/tank03.dts"
you can change everything you want if you type the path perfect


--MT

i dont get it

i wanna change TO tanks like light to ufo and boss to med

Get Codes then.

i have DC and nvm

ok just read the instruction carfully because i have use that and its awesome
