Post by: CP5670 on August 20, 2002, 04:30:58 pm: I was playing around with these recently and, after quite a bit of frustration, did get them to work (I took some frames from Descent 2), but I cannot remember exactly what I did in the tables and my computer is currently down, but I will post here again in a few days with more information once I can see the tables again.

Name your muzzle flash something, and add it to the muzzle flash table. Then program your weapon to use it.

That's how you get all of the tables.

Post by: Vasudan Admiral on August 22, 2002, 04:32:04 pm: the tbl data is in the subfolder of root.vp. it isn't a separate vp.

Post by: Solatar on August 22, 2002, 05:19:25 pm: it does say tables, look in .vp viewer, it says FS2_FullMission and Table data(root_fs2.vp)Unless we've been talking about fs1, and I don't know about it, then you have a problem, fs1 doesn't support muzzleflashes.

Post by: Silver_Scythe on August 22, 2002, 09:15:38 pm: Okay new problem my MFlash works but when I move it doesnt. So it ends up firing behind me. :confused: :wtf:

can't find that anywhere. where are you looking? for me it is only a subfolder in a vp. (and this is fs2 :) )
as for the m flash probs, errr, don't really know. isn't m flash only for cap ship flak weapons?

Post by: el gore on August 23, 2002, 03:50:16 pm: How did you get the mflash to work? Everytime I tried to add a muzzleflash to a weapon other than flak the mflash wouldn't show up.
