I play the fantastic mod Shockwave. But my problem is that the clustermissile on ignition fire, it fires not downwards just a bit sideways when it launches from the missile silo. I am asking for help where the effects for the missile ignition are???????Please help to tell me in which file to look for the right ignition for the clustermissile???


Thanx

Check Data\INI\Object\WeaponObjects.ini: the ParticleSysBones are what control the particle effects for the missile launch sequence.

If you're going to change that, then you might have to create something new in the FXList.ini.

Hey, that is a fast reply. I have checked my ini files, and I have the items listed under particlesysbone. And my file looks just like yours. I do not understand why it shows the ignition somewhat different than it supposed to do??? Is there something else I can do to make it work, I have installed the mod 2 times, and the same thing happened.


Thanx

[Admiral]

Hi, I have the TOSMissileFlame, TOSMissileLenzFlare, BaikonurRocketFlare & the BaikonurRocketTrail in the particlesystem.ini, but it still show the ignition fire from the rear of the missile somewhat sideways. I have installed ZH many times, & downloaded the mod 5 times. I still have this problem. Does anyone have the files for the clustermissile or anyone with some tips to get the ignition fire from the rear of the missile to show correctly?????????????????????+
I am going crazy that it shows the wrong ignition fire from the missile. This superweapon is very cool and the mod is superb.


Thanx a bunch

[Zeke]

can we get pics of what your talking about?

[Ion Cannon!]

I think he means the flame that comes out of the back of the missile isn't pointing towards the ground, but is pointing sideways. It sounds like an alignment issue.

[Zeke]

but the only way that could happen is if he edited the model. In which case a re-install should have worked.

[Ion Cannon!]

Yes, thats why its a strange issue. Admiral, you better post a pic. If this is happening with the default Shw code it should be an issue everyone has.

[Admiral]

Here are the missiles coming down! It is the same when they or it launches!

[Zeke]

well looking from the picture it's pretty clear the your copy of shockwave is fucked up

did you edit it in any way before this happened?

[Admiral]

I have transferred all data from the missile to my own mod for my personal use, but it still does it. I am missing something??????????
I have the particlesystem, objectcreationlist, weaponobjects, airforcegeneral, specialpower, fxlist, weapon, locomotor, commandbutton, commandset, soundeffect & Voice. I could upload the files that I used for the clustermissile weapon in a textfile. Could you check for my what I am missing. I rather like the text files, so that the files can be inserted in the ini files, and removed afterwards again. I think its the best way.

Thanx

well that explains alot

also airforce general? the cluster missile is from the armor general

[Admiral]

Someone in a previous post told me where to look for the fire that it pointed at the ground, but comes out sideways in my mod. Where can I edit or remove the rear fire of the missiles launch?? That is my question or what am I missing in the missiles data?

Thanx

[Zeke]

does it move sideways in your copy of shockwave, or your personal mod?

[Admiral]

Just in my mod, but I have transferred all I could find about the cluster missile. I just want to know if I can edit or remove the backfire from the missile and how do I do it? Please help.

Thanx

[Admiral]

I need some help, I still want to know in what file, do I see the missile exhaust fire, it points a bit sideways, and I want to know in what filw to correct this. Shockwave mod is ubercool, and I am desperate for an answer. Please help me.

Thanx..............
