Code: Select all

<weaponBlueprint name="iond_1">
	<type>BEAM</type>
	<title>Ionic Destabilization Beam</title>
	<short>Ion beam</short>
	<desc>Ionic beams are common in boarding class vessels.</desc>

</weaponBlueprint>

^thats the blueprint

Code: Select all

<animSheet name="ion_beam1" w="192" h="33" fw="24" fh="33">weapons/ionbeam_1.png</ion_beam1>
<weaponAnim name="ion_beam1">
	<sheet>ion_beam1</sheet>
	<desc length="8" x="0" y="0"/>
	<chargedFrame>1</chargedFrame>
	<fireFrame>2</fireFrame>
	<firePoint  x="16" y="9"/>
	<mountPoint x="5" y="24"/>
	<chargeImage>weapons/beam_1_glow.png</chargeImage>
</weaponAnim>

^and thats the animation.xml

you see you have to make not only a sheet but an actual animation (weird but necessary)

[Metzelmax]

in your anim sheet the weapon is called : <animSheet name="ION_RAIL"
But in the Weaponblueprint you want to load: <weaponArt>P_ion</weaponArt>

It should be called the same
