changing "super" strength value

[satch4684]

if i remember starting at strength level 4 the character can lift and throw some heavier objects and rip lampposts. is there a simple way to change the way it gauges, so that a character will need say 6 or 7 strength before the game recognizes him as being "superhuman" level.

Well, I don't think that you can change the weight required to lift objects just by changing a single value,

but what you could do is you could open FFEdit and change the "mass" index of objects that you would like for only characters of 6+ strength lift.

That will take some work and testing, but it is a way to get what you're looking for.

i see, im basically just wanting to have it appear as if characters with level 5 or possibly even 6 strength do not possess spiderman style strength

From your post, it seems like the things that are symptomatic of superhuman strength are things like lifting objects that normal humans could not. As noted, you can't easily change the weight liftable at a given strength. But, if you want to keep your characters with superhuman strength from looking like they have superhuman strength, then doing what spydermann93 suggested is a workable approach. You may find some data and discussion of interest in this thread.

Changing the weight of certain objects - or even every object in the game - can be automated via scripting. Of course, the more straightforward approach is simply to lower the strength ability score of characters who shouldn't have superhuman strength.

similar question. Would it be easy to make a custom attribute that added to strength, or actually any of the other stats? sort of the way speed force can raise the speed of a speedster.

I believe that you can, but there's somewhere that limits strength to being 10 or less. There's a post by KennX somewhere on removing that limit, but I'll have to find it first.

As for speed, I have some speed attributes that raise speed a good amount. If you'd like, I could send you the code for them.

I believe the thread discussing removing the Strength cap is here: http://freedomreborn.net/forums/index.php?topic=54513.msg737085#msg737085

It's at least one of the threads and it was started by Yellow Lantern. I'm off to work, so I didn't have time to read it over again. Hopefully, it helps.
