essentially dont test it with invulnerability off.

Oddly enough, I was getting what appeared to be harpoons when firing the primary.


The cause of the issue is that FSO sorts the Weapon_info table after parse is finished, so I had to fix how the parse of $substitute worked, and add a post-parse check to generate the correct weapon_indexes.

If someone needs a updated build, please ask.  No one has downloaded the last one that I posted.

Good, go break it, otherwise we will blame you when it causes bugs

i think +offset: is broke. using it makes the substitution not work.

[Iss Mneur]

Sorry about being so late in replying, I somehow missed your post.

How do you mean that it makes the substitution not work?  That is, what is it doing, and what are you expecting it to do?

[Nuke]

well i assumed what it was supposed to do is to shift the pattern abit so that the starting point for the replacement pattern may be offset by a number of shots. i kinda figured it would make things look better if all the shots would not be replaced with tracer rounds at the same time so i gave different weapons different offset values.

the problem was whenever i used an offset of any value, weapon replacement did not function. so this:

Code: [Select]

$Name: Phalanx
+nocreate
$Substitute: Phalanx#tracer
+Frequency: 9
worked, but:

Code: [Select]

$Name: Phalanx
+nocreate
$Substitute: Phalanx#tracer
+Frequency: 9
+Offset: 3
did not replace any weapons at all.

it could also be that i completely misunderstood what offset was supposed to do.

[Iss Mneur]

No, you understood just fine how offset was supposed to work.

It seems that when I wrote the loop that applies the frequency based substitutions, I was skipping the first substitution.  So, attached is a fixed patch.

I am not going to post a binary because no one asked for one last time, so if someone wants one, please ask!

So, I take it there was no breakage?

[Nuke]

well ive applied it to many weapons in nukemod without any issues.
