That's what I'm talking about! Very nice

Now just add the reduce ambient sun,use a view without the main interface, and you get a work of art there Galactic Emperor!

This is actually a screenshot from Act III, Mission 3- "A Failure to Communicate." The white light is from the Beta Aquilae Installation blowing up. Maybe one of the render gods can do something with it.

What are you talking about? The SSLs were not beams, they were super lasers. Hence, making them beams in FS2 is inappropriate.

Yes, but they were supposed to be beams.

I remember playing that mission. The only thing I could think of to say as I nailed a Dragon head on with a PXV while flying at top speed was "YEEEEHAA!!"

Hee hee. Didn't realize you already released all those missions. Now I'm going to add the reduce_ambient thing to all of them!

[Galemp]

What reduce_ambient thing? What are you talking about?

The beam looks great! Does it have the same damage and re-fire rate as the FS1 original?

[Sesquipedalian]

It is possible to use any texture you want for a beam.  You might try using the texture file for the Shivan Super Laser as the primary texture in your Lucy beams to make them even better!

[Galemp]

Yes, the damage, range, and refire is the same as the SSLs, which is the whole reason why I made them. LReds have too short a range, SReds are too weak, and BFReds are too strong.
How do I texure the beam with the SSL texture?

[Sesquipedalian]

The Shivan Super Laser's entry in the weapons.tbl ought to identify the texture bitmap used for its trail.  Simply enter that name into the Section texture where you now have the straight orange.

But, how did you make the beams? Did you just copy the TBL entries for FS2 beam cannons or....?

copy, paste, modify.


I'm probably too late on this but...

WELCOME TO THE HLPBB

I've allways wanted to do that...

[Galemp]

I really wish someone would write a program that will let you easily add and modify weapons without messing about in the code and possibly screwing up the parser. Right now you just pick the weapon your weapon is most like and, well,

copy, paste, modify.

[Sesquipedalian]

I like copy, paste, modify.  It gives you more control than any but the best-written programs would.  And really, the effort required to write a program is far beyond justification when compared to the short amount of time needed to hack a table file.
