EDIT: actully it is the missions that are the error.

Thanks WMCoolmon :-)

Which mission Davis? I need to fix it before rereleasing.

[Scooby_Doo]

BTW, I've gotten a quick hack version of the original WC1/2 flak cannons somewhat going, although I wish I could do somethings. I'm using a flak weapon as a starting point, slowed the speed down greatly, (from 700? down to 200), weaken it, and gave it long range.  Also set the shockwave and upped the radius. One of the main problems is the shockwaves it creates doesn't always face you, is there a way to orientate it?

[DavisOfTsurgi]

All of the missions crash. every single one. plus some of the textures have errors, just check the ship and wepon tables too.

[Wanderer]

You could set shockwave speed as 0 so the shockwave itself is not shown but that it still would have detonation effect and just enlarge the impact explosion radius to match the outer radius..

Other alternative is to get rid off 3D shockwaves (like quite many people seem to do) and get the enhanced 2D effects into the game or beg for SCP team to force shockwaves to orientate themselves automagically.

[Scooby_Doo]

Davis: might as well throw what you downloaded away, nearly all except those "intial" "inital" errors that fs2 debug reported I've fixed. Also that way we'll be in-synch.

Wanderer: actually i wanted to keep the shockwave effects, sorta energy explosion effect, unless theres something better looking.

[DavisOfTsurgi]

Is the fixed verson in the link in theother thread?

Give me a few days and I'll post the link :-)

sweetness pimp

[Scooby_Doo]

LOL I just discovered there must be a missile with crossbow.pof for a filename.  Crossbow bombers started appearing in the weirdest places LOL

[DavisOfTsurgi]

Yeah the harpoon

[Scooby_Doo]

Ahh ok. I knew abou thte pirhana.  I was playing the modified lion at the gate and suddenly crossbow came flying at me. I was WTF?!?!?! then it totally disappeared. Freaked me out for a moment LOL

[gevatter Lars]

If people are shooting with bombers at you they have to much money or they are Orcs ^_^

[Scooby_Doo]

I'm just glad it wasn't a Sathana pof model 

BTW Wander this is what the energy flak looks like a cain under flak attack.

I love the effect, although I wish it flamed up faster, and throws you around some.

[DavisOfTsurgi]

Is the dl like fixed for the newer verson yet?

[gevatter Lars]

In the image it looks like the ship is in some kind of water...at least to me ^_^

[Scooby_Doo]

Davis: just about done, 12 of 13 completed, had go back redo shields, redo cockpit texturing (merged several textures into 1), just need to make sure the aurora passes the tests.

Lars: thats what happens when multiple blasts go off and why I wished they oriented themselves toward the player (like "billboarding")


Btw did the flak wall thats mentioned in the Wiki ever get done or is it not possible? Would be cool to see these things blow up as you approach.

[Scooby_Doo]

Question: Do fighters always land using the same path they used to launch from? I.E are launching bays and seperate landing bays possible?

[Starman01]

Usually, the AI takes the first available (free) path for launching, and the nearest available (free) path for landing. Unfortunately, it sometimes picks also the first path for landing too, even if it is not the nearest one, or it suddenly launches from the path's 6-12 i.e.  (that really sucks, I hope the SCP will add at least selectable fighterbay-subsystems for arriving/departure cues).

If you want the fighters to launch from a special hangar, make two subsystems, add the paths and they will usually start from path 1-6 (depends how many paths you edit to the fighterbay-subsystem). Controlling their landing is more difficult, if not impossible.

[Scooby_Doo]

Thanks Starman...

Drats, I've got the launching down pat, it's the landing I guess won't work. Oh well guess they'll land on the launching bays, hopefully no ones launching at the same time
