My gun does 80% damage to your shield - alance - 12-05-2007
How are the relative effectiveness of gun types versus shield types adjusted?
I'm referring to the fact that some guns do 80% damage to Graviton while doing 120% damage to Molecular, for example. Is this relationship adjusted by changing a value on each shield? Is it adjusted by changing a value on each gun? Is it adjusted by changing a global .ini file which defines this damage relationship? Is it untouchable hardcode?
I ask because I'm going to propose something rather complex for the mod but I don't want to do a bunch of work only to find out some of the necessary bits are impossible to change.

This can be changed somehow, but I don't feel like changing this value. Shield balance is OK as it is now.
