what is there that you don't understand,
make a targeting laser type beam in you're table and put it on a fighter,
make a mission, treat it like you would any other normal primary weapon

Should the beam texture tiling work normally? At least they don't work with my modded beams. Do they have to be enabled somehow?

I think they need an extra flag or something added into the table entry.  Look it up in the thread dedicated to this topic.

I think the version of the code they put in there tiled it by a hard coded value (it's relitive to the beam with)

try adding
+Tile Factor:   5
right after +Zadd: and see if it implodes or not

I'm having problems getting the Fighter beams to work.  I copied the targeting laser code, and added damage to it, and changed the name, but touched nothing else, but Fs2 won't let me use it in the game.  Fred2 let's me choose it as a weapon, but once in the mission, the weapon is unavailable.

Any suggestions?

I've got a question:

With the fighter beams, does it suffer the 'one beam firing point' problem?

Sorry guys, i've been having comp problems, and family problems, so the mission has been delayed.  I have the outline of the mission put together, demonstrating all but the Support ship repair function, but i was wanting to turn it into a decent mission.  I hope to have it done tmw.

Three things:

1) Fighter beam shield hits stop after a while (I made a mission with a Perseus vs a bunch of Maras, multiple waves, and after the first couple, the beams just went right through, even though the shields were up.

2) Is it possible to get rid of that pain in the ass message in the top right hand corner whenever you hit something?

3) How exactly DO you get rid of the 'beam tiling?'

:)

I dont have acces to my primary machine so i cant' t verify what flag, but one way would be to have a flag already present in the weapons.tbl that is standard for all beam weapons and always has the same value and make the source read if this flag has another value other things are activated. if you use the binary system you could have infinant possibilities.

example

$someflag 1; meaning something is turned on

after source modification
$someflag 3;(option 1 + option 2)  meaning that something is still turned on, but since we added 2 we turned on or off another option, like beam tileling.

so if $someflag is 3 or including the second bit in a binary system then beam tileling is off,

this should be easy, but i have no way of checking it since my machine is still being "reparied"

but if someone implement this then Beam tileling is something that should be turned on with $someflags second bit.

also; this will preserved all previous weapons as they where.


he, i hope you understand what i mean.

Shouldnt any change thats not a bug fix be optional and be off by default to maintain the original game?

I didn't think they'd keep that sheild hit debug mesage in
I'm working on the beam sheild hit bug, havn't made much progres though
the beam tileing code in this EXE is very primitive, there will be table flags to determine tileing and translation, if these optional tags are not present it will render them like it does in the origonal FS2
I am starting to think I should make a little masage that pops up at the begining of the game that reads this
