Hello this is a thread about my 'beam like' bullet thingy not showing. I have resized it, edited it, and nothing helped. I used another already made bullet animation and it worked fine, so the problem is with my one.

All help appreciated, all files ascociated with the mod are here: http://www.filedropper.com/chargestunbeam

NOTE: I edited these files to make them independant from FTL CE, if there are any glitches other than the issue above, it is because it is not being run with FTL CE and therefore are irrelavent to my problem

Also there isn't meant to be a sound or image for the impact, so no worries there

All help is highly appreciated, I just can't get what is wrong, and I have tried everything I can think of.

PS: This weapon was meant to be a beam weapon, but the game crashes and can't handle a charge beam weapon, so I just made it a laser weapon that works and looks like a beam.

Is only the bullet not showing? Does the weapon work?

Maybe try to imitated vanilla file name conventions more closely. Shot anim images all end with _stripX, no idea if that causes problems when not done correctly. Maybe thedimensions on that bulet are just to wierd to be accepted by the game, I don't know. You could try it with x=1000 for a start, would probably still be enough to simulate a beam.

Also the fire point for your weapon will make the shot appear like it is spawned behind the weapon, there is no way around that, large projectiles will pretty much always look like they are partly spawned outside the weapons. It might turn out ok with something like <firePoint x="-1990" y="20"/>.

Okay I will check these things out, and apply them etc.

Thanks.

PS: The weapon does work, it's just the animation not for the bullet not showing.

I tried all the things u suggested and none of them have worked...

EDIT: Nvm, I just put in the description: This weapon travels so fast it is impossible to see...
