Title: Afterburner trails.....
Post by: Kosh on June 04, 2005, 09:42:57 pm: Where have they gone to? I briefly saw them awhile ago, then they just stopped working. The only time I see them anymore is when I play Shrouding the Light.

I've been meaning to post this for a while. I'm running 3.6.5 mediaVP's & exe.

You can add them by editing your tables. Do a Wiki search. It should be in there, somewhere. :)

Well, here it is:

Code: [Select]
$Trails: +Bitmap: name of bitmap +Width: relitive width of trail +Alpha: starting alpha +Life: life time in seconds

Code: [Select]
$Afterburner: YES +Aburn Max Vel: 0.0, 0.0, 150.0 +Aburn For accel: 0.7 +Aburn Fuel: 300.0 +Aburn Burn Rate: 50.0 +Aburn Rec Rate: 25.0 [b]$Trails: +Bitmap: ABtrail +Width: 1.0 +Alpha: 1.0 +Life: 15[/b]

I think the bold stuff is what you're looking for.

Post by: WMCoolmon on June 05, 2005, 01:59:47 pm: IIRC, they got removed by accident when I removed adveffects from the current line-up of mediaVPs. I'm going to try and add them back in next version, as there've been a number of people asking about them and the images for 'em are probably still in there anyways.

Post by: Kosh on June 07, 2005, 07:00:09 pm: So I have to go through and tell all the fighter/bomber ship entries in the table to use them?

Post by: DaBrain on June 07, 2005, 07:06:08 pm: Yes, I fear it does...

Well, it takes up a few minutes, but you can also wait for the next media VP. :)

Post by: FireCrack on June 07, 2005, 08:57:02 pm: this should be doable in the species (i think) table.
