Problem- The animation (projectile) for the custom weapon is not showing up. Currently it is an exact copy of the Heavy Laser I, but the projectile does not show up. Any ideas?

Code: Select all

<animSheet name="laser_heavy10" w="200" h="20" fw="50" fh="20">weapons/laser_heavy10_strip4.png</animSheet>

<anim name="laser_heavy10">
   <sheet>laser_heavy10</sheet>
   <desc length="4" x="0" y="0"/>
   <time>0.5</time>
</anim>

Under resources, I do have a "laser_heavy10_strip4.png", which should be the heavy laser projectile.

Hmm... Weird...

3 is reasonable.

What do you mean by 3 is reasonable? Do you mean the animation length?
The other heavy lasers have the exact same coding, except different names. (Still all strip4)

So I was experimenting with charge times, shots fired, and speed...

And this happened.

Not quite so sweet, I'm afraid - if it deals damage, it'll destroy any ship within maybe three seconds. If it ionizes, it'll shut down the shields and target system within the same time - possibly shutting down the entire ship if properly targeted. If it stuns, it'll lock the enemy crew in place, same rules as with ionizing. Fire or breach chances? Target room is a burning wreck within seconds.

If it's a flak with sufficient radius and targeting, the entire ship will be completely COVERED with projectiles, with the result being the same as or worse than the result of firing one of this thing's regular counterparts.

No, I'm not including this in the mod. This was a special request from a friend. It's far too OP to use in actual gameplay.

I mean how the cannon is firing really fast looks cool.

Progress! (sort of)
At least my computer doesn't crash anymore.
Anyway, I've got one ship nearly done (needs gibs).
I got permission to use art from R4V3-0N (is that how you spell it?), so that saves me quite a lot of time.
The first release of the mod won't include much, just some engi ships and flagship. (Player ships are still in dev.)

Eh, I've got no idea where this mod is going.
I'm still developing this (slowly nonetheless)
My current problem is real life. I'm not going to be in the country for the next month. (Although I can get plenty of work done on trains/planes!) Expect sporadic updates of medium to large amounts of content.
12 hour flights... At least I've got something to do now
