OK, I guess there is one....

Where should I put the entry? In the Cap weapons section like after Terran Turret?

Rather than make a new thread about the same subject, i'll just bump this one.

Ok, I have a problem with the Starfury turret. Its been a long time, and I have had no problems untill now. I want the Kinetic effect from the Starfury turret removed. I tried deleting various things but nothing seems to work. Right here is the current tbl entry:


$Name: Starfury
$Model File: none
@Laser Bitmap: newglo6
@Laser Glow: newglo6
@Laser Color: 120, 120, 30
@Laser Color2: 120, 120, 30
@Laser Length: 20.0
@Laser Head Radius: 15.0
@Laser Tail Radius: 15.0
$Mass: 150.0
$Velocity: 900.0
$Fire Wait: 0.90
$Damage: 850
$Armor Factor: 0.1
$Shield Factor: 1.0
$Subsystem Factor: 0.0
$Lifetime: 2.0
$Energy Consumed: 1.2
$Cargo Size: 0.0
$Homing: NO
$LaunchSnd: 110
$ImpactSnd: 85
$Flags: ( "Big Ship")
$Impact Explosion: none

What do I do to get the Kinetic effect removed?

I know very little about TBLs but my experience from Homeworld modding tells me that to remove kinetic effects from a weapon you would turn the mass down or off.

That worked. Thanx

Now wait a sec; does freespace do collision calculations for every weapon impact?  That seems odd to me.

[Liberator]

To coin a phrase...

It is logical:p

Actually, if you think about it how can the game acurately calculate damage if it doesn't calculate every impact.  I mean if someone fire a prometheus 5 times:snipe: and the impact is only calculated 3 times why have the gun fire the 5 times?

This makes sense to a programmer right away(even us sucky, lousy can't write crap programmers), buyt I hope my example helped.
