Enjoy your stay on HLP!

To answer your question, there are 2 answers. either go to Volition Watch Archives and download the "aurora weapons pack", or, activate cheat mode and select a beam cannon from there. however, i recommend you play the entire FS2 main campaign before you go into any modding.
-
...you guys aren't helpful... :doubt:
And Cobra, that's a really innappropriate welcome message...
Dustmuffins, I'm not wuite sure what anti-fighter beams would do for you, since they'd more than likely be used against you, but alot of mods are contained on the main age's Mods section.
Or, if you wish, TBL files are in essence a text file, and it's incredibly easy to tweak your beams to be however you want them to be.
And for good measure...
[wiki]Dustmuffins[/wiki]
There's alot of info in there, if you can find it. :)
Happy hunting, and welcome to the fray.

I take it you didn't do that one?

Possibly because it's an impossible scenario, and he didn't want to look like a liar. :p

Nope. When you're an admin, the text

doesn't appear on edited posts, for one thing. For another thing, the edited text doesn't appear on posts that were edited less than 2 minutes after they were posted. For a third thing, it's in WMC's signature. And for a fourth thing, I'd capitalize the K in // G5K.
Good effort, though. :lol::yes:
-
I was referring to WMCoolmon's writing that... not saying that you, indeed, did it. Because it looked fake.
-
I was replying to the post above yours, but yeah. :)

You missed noting that if you're in Great Britatin, "you" edited my post before it got posted. :p
-
SAy, there's one thing I have been meaning to ask.
I know fighters/bombers can have beam weapons placed on turrets, and that you can use FRED to trigger their fire with a key press.
But I was wondering - is there a way to have a beam weapons as a normal primary?
-
I bet you have tried cheats, changed the primary to beam weapon and it worked. So, I guess, there shouldn't be any problems?
-
Cheats? My phaser was based off the Sred as was my cap ship ones and the Getter Beam (for the robot/ Bfred) all player controlled as any other gun. No fancy charge up times as not needed or contrary to source universe. But then again that's not Fs2 oriented, but it's not cheating , it's mod related...
-
I just meant that beam as primary weapon works with cheats, so it should work without them too :) I never tried to change pri wep to beam in tables..

:jaw: are you serious???
-
:wtf: why the hell is your post count set to one?
:welcome: i guess ;)
and BTW, when you "force load" a weapon, the beams turn into little red dots with a quick "PSSSHHHEEEEWWW!!!" noise.
-
You know, Cobra, if my post count would drop to 1 and you'd give me the welcome beam.. I would kill you :D
-
:lol:

EDIT: Maybe that was a little harsh, how about this:
:ha: My Rank is still higher than yours Cobra
Bakha Still Pwns Apollo
and Registered: Jun 2004 still Pwns Registered: Nov 2004
2-1 to me :ha:
-
Hey Kie.. It happened to me too!!
-
@kietotheworld: That was uncalled for. Be polite.
@Primus: You kind of asked for it. :p
-
Uhhh Cobra, am i right? You´ve been registred since nov 2004 and you have 5835 posts? These might be (turn the windows calculator on) 72.9372 posts each day!!!!
!!!!!
!!!!!!
!!!!!!!
:eek2:
Man, you are an addict. Turn off your computer at once, get out of your cave and look, if the world is still there!
-
er, no. read the posts on the first page. the admins are having fun. i used to have 850+ posts, but they multiplied it by 10...
i know i am an addict. i LOVE computers :D
-
@Goober5000
What? ...Because of this?: "I would kill you"??

Eh, no. Just added 5000 to it.
@Primus: No, I wanted to see if Cobra fired the welcome beam. And then I wanted to see if you would kill Cobra. :p
-
:lol:
Just for the record. I would never kill nobody at here HLP :)
And I do apologise (sp?) if I were out of line :)
-
Meh, why does a cool ship like the Apollo get tagged to the new guys ? Couldn't it be a s***e ship like, I dunno, the Bakha maybe ?
-
Self-esteem booster so they get sucked in and can't escape.
-
That's not a **** ship, Roanoke. Maybe the Loki?

Actually, I tried it a allready. I used the STiny from the SB Vindyachal and the game chrasches if I put it under player weapons....

It's kinda an old WIP of mine. It may not be great, but it should work.
-
.... SWEET!!
-
ooH!
ooh!!
can i have a post count of 0 and be reset to an apollo? :D
no really, im serious! :D
-
:wtf: :lol:
-
come on! 0 postcount! lol :)
-
I demand my post count be changed to "Expired".
-
The bahka is an excellent heavy assault fighter with a big loadout and great compatibilty. Its also an adequate bomber.
The Apollo meanwhile is a hunk of crap with an engine and some guns attached.
-
:mad: 404, post not found. you wanna cry about it?! :hopping:
-
... the Apollo was a technological breakthrough in its time.
-
i love the apollo. i beat the game using pretty much ONLy it, you know. on medium!
-
I beat FS1 using only the Apollo, Hercules, and Valkyrie, (and Ursa) on Insane :p
-
You know Cobra, we do have an "edit" button for a reason. That said, yeah...
Sobek still owns all :D
-
uhhhh, SC? I'm not getting what you're saying.

Cobra :wtf:

posted within a couple of minutes of one another. Use the edit button if you want to change something, don't double post. Since this whole thread is spam it's not as much of a cardinal sin, but anywhere else you'll get yelled at by a lot more people than me. Be careful about posting in serious threads with material that isn't relevant or useful; this isn't Warpstorm.
-
i never noticed that second post :lol:
-
But... you posted it....
:confused:
:wtf:
-
my comp must have lagged. guess the result. or, i must have double clicked. guess the result :D
-
Well it'd be one thing if it was even the same post. They are different, and it looks like you rephrased your statement to make more sense after the first post. And a 3-minute lag?
-
D'OH! Now I remember. I was tired, it was 11:00 PM (my time) and i clicked "new post" instead of "edit".
-
Heheh I do that like once a year :D
-
What's worse is when you click edit instead of quote... on someone elses post....when you have moderator access! :D :rolleyes:
-
i wish i could be an HLP moderator... i'm moderating 2 other forums, tho. HCBB and GWBB Pathways. tough work when you're new to it.

OH DEAR GOD HELP US ALL!!!!

[edit] oh, and 3-minute lag? ive had like, 20 minute lag before. trust me. *kicks computer* it happens.
and am i the only one who posts something, forgets about it, then posts the same thing again? its happened to me...
-
... i don't really moderate the HC forum, but i do every once in a while. i just help manage the mods and members on the main site. the other forum, i made some n00b mistakes...
-
StratComm, I tough you mentioned the edit button to Cobra becoause of this:

But yeah...I love the Apollo...
Which reminds me...anyone know where I can find a GOOD LOOKING Apollo model?
-
Whaddya mean by that? All the Apollo's are Sexy Beasts! ;)
I think Grey Wolf made the prototype Apollo and the stealth one but I forgot the name of the mod (SHA, SAH, HAS?) It was a while ago but he had some nice stuff in there!
-
i was j/k, cobra, BTW ;)
the apollo IS good-looking! ^_^
i want to get my hands on it and make it go from good looking -> sexy, though :)
-
i was serious, Grimmy.
