Invisible Gun Fire from Mission Solars

Hi

I've managed to get my mission solars to shoot back at me. But there seems to be a problem, I can't see the gun fire, but I do take damage. If I change the loadout to missile turrets I can see those, no problem.

I've tried a variety of different gun types, turret types and beam styles but still nothing.

Can anyone explain this please?

Thanks,
Rik

You need to increase the lod_ranges value for example it might be

lod_range = 0, 20, 40, 60

So you might want to try

lod_range = 0, 500, 1000, 1500

even if the same turrets work ok on normal Solars, such as bases and weapon platforms?

I'm at work at the moment... but will check this out when I get home.

Cheers,
Rik

It's a normal freelancer bug(if a bug can be considered to be normal).

So don't waste your time trying to make it visible.

Yeah, this is a big gravedig, but I'm wondering if any one has managed to find a solutionon this yet?

The best I've got is projectiles (missiles, flak etc) - but it just doesn't feel right without guns.

Cheers,
Rik

Yeah, but it's just frustrating that it works ok in openSP.

Thought I'd just nudge again see whether anyone found a work around.

Cheers,

what weapon effect are you using? you may need to hex edit the weapon_large in the freelancer.exe. it's a shot in the dark.

its sound like an FX problem. also you can look in the effect_types.ini increase the lod to 0, 10000. find the effect that the weapon is using in the weapon_equip. in the effects.ini it will have a type. eg

weapon_equip
Code:

[Munition]
nickname = turbolaser_ammo03
hp_type = hp_gun
requires_ammo = false
hit_pts = 2
hull_damage = 2000
energy_damage = 0
one_shot_sound = fire_capship_forward_gun
munition_hit_effect = li_plasma_03_impact
const_effect = Purple_turbolaser_proj---this one
lifetime = 14.000000
force_gun_ori = false
mass = 1
volume = 0.000100



Code:

[Effect]
nickname = Purple_turbolaser_proj
effect_type = EFT_WEAPON_LARGE_PROJ ----- find this
vis_beam = turbolaser_beam_Purple


in the effects_type you will find
Code:

[EffectType]
nickname = EFT_WEAPON_LARGE_PROJ
priority = 1
generic_priority = 1
lod_type = EFT_LOD_LARGE
radius = 100
visibility = EXIST_OFFSCREEN
update = CULL_UPDATE 
run_time = -1
pbubble = 1250, 1500 ---- try changing this to 0, 10000


that with the exe hex edit worked for me.

good luck. hope it helps
