ok I've made some parseing code for the weapons table, it's formatte is

Code: [Select]

$decal:
+texture: 'a_texture_name'
[i]+backface texture: 'an_other_texture_name'[/i]
+radius: 'a_float'

italisised is optional, well the whole thing is optional, but within the decals feild that stuff is optional
currently it must be a pcx, I have yet to get everything built and uploaded I'll tell you when it's updated

[Bobboau]

the zip has been updated, I have notised an odd bug were decals seem to be made around weapons, I think I may have fixed it but I havn't tested it (I will as soon as I get done posting this), I have included a weapons table that has decals enabled on several weapons with a new decal texture.
here are some screen shots of it in action

I'm supposed to be doing essays.  So in the time-honoured tradition of procrastination, I made this damage decal.

Looks like this:


I figure it'd be a good one for beam damage.

Edit: I like your's too, Bob.

I get this error message when loading a mission.

oops, forgot that I was testing that, I don't want to make you redownload for such a small thing
in the weapons table were it says
$Model File:         Pulse.pof
change that to
$Model File:         none
and remove the semicolis from all the lines following that that have
;@Laser
that should fix that, note there are other experemental weapons in there
one such fun thing to play with would be the pspewtest1, it has the custum pspew code on it, look twards the bottom and change particleexp01 to something like shieldhit01a

looks somewhat odd...stretched...

[Bobboau]

you'll get that sometimes with shots that hit at a sharp angle,

the assertion failure, was it caused when a ship was warping in\out in a mission that was not the first one played (there seems to be a bug in the warp model loading were it unloads the warp model and doesn't reload it after a mission)

Yeah, that's the bug I meant... has it been added to Bugzilla?  It's very annoying, because it's interfering with a whole bunch of stuff.  Somebody fix it!

And Bobboau...


Those are nice screenshots.  Well done!

[Galemp]

I can't wait to try this out! Bob, did you update the zip with the fixed weapons.tbl?

[Bobboau]

bumping this for people who haven't seen it
