Except Lightspeed's changes aren't all trivial.  By making the Maxim into a ballistic, which, while cool, may in fact mess with the game balance a bit in multi.

Suppose the parser could be made to look for certain tags deemed to be "dangerous" to game play and to look for values that cannot be changed (fire rate, damage, damage types, extra effects).

The red laser blast would make better muzle flashes if you ask me but can we do that yet with the SCP current verson?

make some for the Capship weapons some nice big bright beam hit effects would rock for some added eye candy to the normal game. I would perfure one laser hit effect for all lasers but thats me like a small flash.

Which is why i'm gonna release a special multiplayer-friendly version of them when they're done.

I've also changed some other things that will be taken out for the multi version :)

Ehhh, didn't know where else to post this, but since I tried out Carl's modifications, I just realized that all my missile trails, and weapon effects have disappeared. I can still see the missiles, but no trails, and I can't see my primaries before they impact. Any suggestions, or should I just reinstall?

Huh? I'm using fs2_open_3_5, but I have no idea if that comes even close to answering your question. Basically, I had FS2 installed, I d/led fso 3.5 and installed it, I d/led Lightspeed's shinemaps and new primaries and installed those, and lastly I d/led Carl's impact effect and installed those. After all this, I've ended up with the problem I stated above. Perhaps I messed something up when I did the table hacking? Oh yeah, I also installed the Herc 3. Hope this helps..

3.5?????

the latest official is 355, but even that is ancient.

go to the latest builds forum (SCP subforum) and pick a new build up there. and grab a new launcher.
click the link under my name and go to the SCP section for more info.
