| Summary | 0002364: Thruster cones on weapons do not work | ||||
| Description | Well the lab kind of does. It will draw the cones but only uses the effect defined for the first species in species_defs. It ignores all other species and even $Thruster Flame Effect: defined for that weapon in weapons.tbl. In game no cones are rendered. Tested with near retail data. I say near because you really can't see it with the glows and trails turned on. To reproduce take any secondary (I used the cyclops) and removed the $Trail entry in the table. Then edit the corresponding pof and remove the thruster entry (and glow points if any) so only the modeled cone is left. Fire weapon in a mission. No cone. | ||||

Looks like they were broke in retail. So V put cones on all the secondary weapons but they never worked. |
|
|
Some additional info. The game will render the cones only if an entry under Thrusters exists in PCS2. The lab will render it either way. |

On current builds, missiles do use thruster cones and do obey '$Thruster Flame Effect:'. See the screenshot where I forced thruster01a.ani on a rockeye. http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk264/mjnmixael/Private/ImageBin-13_zps3c0793fb.jpg Additionally, of course weapons don't obey any other specie's defined thruster texture because weapons aren't sorted by species in any specific way that the game knows, as far as I know. Finally, an update of this ticket is actually that the Lab doesn't obey '$Thruster Flame Effect:' at all. I've attached a weapons.tbl that forces the rockeye to use thruster01a.ani (orange instead of blue) to help test/fix that. |
