check out this Il2 shot
couln't our tracers be done like this? Right now they look like a spit... I guess the polys would even be lower than now...
then yesterday, while our forum was still down, I checked out the old SDOE sites and noticed that originally the weapon fireblasts were bigger... so i don't remembr who (sorry!) told me it had them...
Don't u think these two things could be upgraded easily?li'l b

the tracers are hardcoded, maybe we can move them to an SM file so we can change them.IP: Logged |

I know the muzzle flash is in SM form, but the strange part is I've had no luck changing it yet, there again, I know better what I'm doing now, the last time I worked on it was right back when I first started OPS stuffIP: Logged |

Diego, I think the tracer in that pic is that big long white "+" just to the side of the gunsite and below the green Cryptonite canopy frameIP: Logged |

OK, I'ver changed the shape of the craters, so they actually leave a crater, and increased the size of the muzzle flash, both are SMs, and guess what, there must be some form of coding that I don'tknow about and don't show up in the SM, cause the muzzle flash shows the same size regardless od how big I make it, and the crater always get's flattend out, so unless someone knows whats going on here then we're stuck, only thing I can think os is some kind of hard code thats forcing this  IP: Logged |

Have you noticed though Ren, that the flash from cannons is about 3 times bigger than the flash from mg's? I never noticed that before, but look at something like the spit XI from above and fire all weapons, the cannon flash is much bigger, they both use the same SM though, I wish we could find out how to change this cause the connon flash is way to small.IP: Logged |

l'il bastard,Check out this shot
Tailslide has a link to high visibility tracers at his site. The file has tracers in several different colors to choose from, including a white one like is in the IL-2 shot. Darn things aren't easy to catch in a screen grab. ------------------
