I was playing around with these recently and, after quite a bit of frustration, did get them to work (I took some frames from Descent 2), but I cannot remember exactly what I did in the tables and my computer is currently down, but I will post here again in a few days with more information once I can see the tables again.

 
Anyone else know? I got this sweet Mflash ani for a machine gun type weapon.

This is how I think it works

Name your muzzle flash something, and add it to the muzzle flash table. Then program your weapon to use it.

 
Where can I get a base Muzzleflash Table?

Extract it using .vp view:p
That's how you get all of the tables.

 
From which VP?

Get the 2014 Media VPs and report any bugs you find in them to the FSU Mantis so that we may squish them. || Blender to POF model conversion guide

the tbl data is in the subfolder of root.vp. it isn't a separate vp.

it does say tables, look in .vp viewer, it says FS2_FullMission and Table data(root_fs2.vp)Unless we've been talking about fs1, and I don't know about it, then you have a problem, fs1 doesn't support muzzleflashes.

 
Okay new problem my MFlash works but when I move it doesnt. So it ends up firing behind me. :confused: :wtf:

can't find that anywhere. where are you looking? for me it is only a subfolder in a vp. (and this is fs2 :) )
as for the m flash probs, errr, don't really know. isn't m flash only for cap ship flak weapons?

Oh well I have settled with a less flashy but still cool design for my gun. :D

How did you get the mflash to work? Everytime I tried to add a muzzleflash to a weapon other than flak the mflash wouldn't show up.
