How to make the cool MediaVPs bomb flash explosions?
on: August 22, 2015, 10:11:49 pm
How do you table bombs so that they explode with the cool screen-filling flash effects from the MediaVPs (and look/explode prettier than retail-era bombs in general?)

I'm updating Inferno's older tabled bombs, but I dunno my way around the graphical improvements involved. Any advice, o more experienced modders?

Conversely, to talk about poverty and inequality, to draw attention to the reality that discrimination and injustice are still facts of life, is to commit the sin of political correctness. Anti-PC has become the latest cover for creeps. It is a godsend for every curmudgeon and crank, from fascists to the merely smug."

Bah... I totally figured this out years ago for bta and can't remember. I seem to recall something about needing to copy a particular script file into the primary mod (inferno in this case).

There's a file in MV_Effects/data/config called mv_wep_exp_flashes.cfg (and comparable files for explosion anis and ship explosions) which you can edit to add your own stuff. The syntax for these entries can be found here.

Why thank you, Mr. The E. That would explain why I never found the relevant options in the tables.
