WHY is my flamethrower doing this.. I have the projectile speed at 100 and the range at 400 and perhaps the sprayangle should be reduced to 4000 from 14000, but why does the flame particle get huge and fly off all over the place like retarded clouds..

Groundbounce?

no I figured out what it was.. basically DO Not set your flamethrower weapons to have a sprayangle higher than maybe 1000 if your intend for them to have a range longer than 200ish.. or they DO that.. which is made of fail...

thanks for bearing with my stupidity..

Fang, grab the latest TGAs from the bitmaps.sdz if you are overriding them. That fixes the odd looks. TGAs with an alpha channel cause this, they need a black background and the latest flame textures have one.

Do that for the GD lasers as well.
Otherwise its not balanced.

What is this structure that has lost like 5% health? (ground radar?)

I wasnt trying to get that effect for my flamethrower I was trying to not get that effect.. and NOIZE I didnt ask for a critique of my models.. so bugger off..

And Rattle, those are the latests bitmap stuffs, I took those from nanoblobs, because I liked the effect..

alright before this retarded drama goes any further, Ive fixed the problem, lock/delete this or what have you.. no further nonsense is merited..

Models look good, IMO. It's hard to come up with completely fresh material, not based on something else.

Why not post the weapon file, me or Argh will find what's wrong. (whoever sees it first)

Fang figured it out a while ago, post #4 to be exact. The thread is done.

Fanger · Post by **Fanger** » 19 Oct 2006, 00:55

thanks for the offer, caydr, however as I am trying to say I have resolved the problem.. and I just dont want this to escalate into some sort of drama over EE, or models, or whathave you, because someone who likes my mod made a harmless, yet off topic post..

Well in fact 1v0ry_k1ng gave comments first, so i thought i can give my opinion as well.

NO what you should have done, is repremended Ivory for going off topic.. so now we have a stupid lame drama... INCASE some of you cant read the name of the topic was Flamethrowers Screwing Up...? and I asked for help on fixing my flamethrower weapon, NOT comments on my models, balancing scheme, interior decorating and so forth..

I solved the problem myself though I do thank anyone who tried to actually help.. the rest of this farce of comments and retardation should not have been instigated by a fricking moderator..

i complained several times on going offtopic on this forums, i find it highly annoying, but it seems ppl find it normal here. I just followed Ivory....

Oh really, aha I see.. thank you for that... And people wonder why Me and a bunch of other people went over to do most of our posting at smoths site... because at least there we can get something done without "comments".. I wish people would learn that their opinions are not like candy, they definately dont need to be giving them out to everyone they see...
