if you post a screenshot of it, it may help clarify things.

[Killer Whale]

Well, I thought people would immediately know what I mean by rainbow beams, cause it's always popping up.

Er... How do I upload these (in a non-attachment way) without an error occuring, it's like their in a movie format or something... I can't open them with my windows picture and fax viewer, but I can with Nero PhotoSnapViewer  .

[jkalltheway]

well, what i do is i open it in my viewer, then i take ANOTHER screenshot of it, and copy paste that into mspaint. its a bootleg way to do it, but it gets the job done

[Mongoose]

Or you could get something like Irfanview and just convert them to JPEG.

[Leeko]

It's worth it, we wanna see skittles-powered death rays

[Killer Whale]

Cool, got Irfanview, looks pretty professional. Okay, just set up nine saths in a square formation (3x3), put a colossus in front and automatically beam freed by default, for a few seconds I took a few screenshots before my fighter was vaporised by a passing beam!

[Sololop]

That's freakin' epic.

[jkalltheway]

Underestimate not, the power of skittles. Not even the Colossus can stand up against their superior sugary fruit flavored deliciousness.

[Wanderer]

And you have the fix vp for the issue in the mediavps? Or rather which vp files do you have in use? You can get the list quite easily by running debug build. The list of the vp files in use is in the beginning of the fs2_open.log file

[Killer Whale]

This one?

wooaaaah, spread beams

He's not even using the newest VPs if the beam glows are that soft pinkish orb.

Yep, the log sez he's using mv_complete, which would be the previous version.

[Killer Whale]
