Evis loves this new source code. I've used it to recreate a ballistic weapon I originally built waaaaay back in FS1 days.

The General Electric 23mm Chain Gun (GE-23) originally used the hornet model for a projectile and a thin trail and set to a very high rate of fire. It was slung into a secondary slot so that it could use ammo: 2000 rounds on most fighters.

Now, with this new source code, I've made it into a primary, and used .pcx effects to make the gunfire more realistic looking ditching my old method. It still carries 2000 rounds on most fighters, although heavier fighters may carry more ammo. I also cme up with some good gunfire sounds for it and a new impact sound that sounds like bullets pinging off of armor.

All in all, the turnout is greater than my expectations could ever have been 4 years or more ago! Thanks a bunch to the Source Code Team for puttin this out!

Oh, here a Ulyesses fighter of the 43rd Gunfighters squadron fires two GE-23's at Shivan targets.

No download link. Typical.

I'm still making some minor tweaks.

Besides, of peeps post screenies of stuff they're workin on without making them available at the outset.

[Goober5000]

Yay!  Non-SCP people are using special SCP stuff!  Great work, and thanks for the nice comments.

Post a download as soon as you can - I'd love to see your final result.

Meh, I don't agree with the glowage. 'Twould be better if you used a bullet pof.

[Stealth[cro]]

Niiiice. I like this one. When's it going public?

Goober did you not expect people to use it who arn't SCP? I added it to my .tbls it as soon as I got 3.4 it works great although the reloding dosn't at the mo (but that might be me???)

Oh and Eviscerator thanks for the idea about the impact sound I just wasn't going to have one for my gamma test thing:yes:

I made a bullet pof for a eriler versioin but it dosn't work as well as a long yellow line (tracers) but I did remove the glow and think it looks much better!:yes:

[Goober5000]

K, well the only thing I've heard about the ammo-based primaries since it was released was that it was too hard to use. Some people couldn't get it to work despite the tutorial.

[Eviscerator]

Well, a couple points were left out of the tutorial so you have to common sense read between the lines.

I had a heck of a time until it donned on me that ammunition *must* have a cargo size higher than 0. It doesn't say that in the tutorial but it made sense to me. So I gave a size of 1 and woolaa! It worked.

Anyhow, bullet pof's like I had before didn't look right, and tracers *do* glow in the dark ( I can tell you that after 12 years of military service), and open space is pretty dark, so I think I'll leave the effects as they are.

I'll release as soon as I have the interface art completed.

I hate using bullet .pofs.

Hmm, that's interesting.  Thanks.

That would be "voila," just so you know.

It would A1 SUPER if the SCP guy's would put tracer fire in though.



something I suggested btw

[ZylonBane]

It's already been explained in excruciating detail why that would be pointless.
