Title: How to make the cool MediaVPs bomb flash explosions?
Post by: Lepanto on August 22, 2015, 10:11:49 pm

How do you table bombs so that they explode with the cool screen-filling flash effects from the MediaVPs (and look/explode prettier than retail-era bombs in general?)

I'm updating Inferno's older tabled bombs, but I dunno my way around the graphical improvements involved. Any advice, o more experienced modders?

Bah... I totally figured this out years ago for bta and can't remember. I seem to recall something about needing to copy a particular script file into the primary mod (inferno in this case).

There's a file in MV_Effects/data/config called mv_wep_exp_flashes.cfg (and comparable files for explosion anis and ship explosions) which you can edit to add your own stuff. The syntax for these entries can be found here (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Script_-_Flashy_Deaths_(new)#expl_flashes.cfg).

Why thank you, Mr. The E. That would explain why I never found the relevant options in the tables.
