[T1 Question] Blaster

Just wondering if it was possible to add a trail to the blaster bolt. I would like see that.

ditto, is this possible? :o

dunno, didnt RB make a new bolt for blaster? well maybe he could make a trail with it, i dunno

That would be very leet like a blot follows through the rest of the bolt.

I don't think you can do that
that would be adding something, not changing

Nope.

Won't work.

You need to code blaster again then...

Or make a new model for blaster bolt...

why not just make a new blast bolt with a trail?

simple = works usually.

ok u make it then

projectile data is determined on the server side

the bitmap for the molt it self doesnt allw you to make it long..... the mortar trail takes teh same bitmap and re maps it over multiple models which are "smoke"

most of the projectiles are models.

yes it should be possible to add a trail to the blaster bolt like they do in T2. First though someone would have to make the texture like the engine texture but red. Then simply apply it to the model with the normal setup and boom. The hardest part would be making the texture you would have to make sure it is translucent well enough to work. Also red in T1 looks really shitty. So someone would have to do alot of tweaking.

also the mortar trail is a model also so is the smoke grenade trail.

It's just a flat plane that the textures are animated on. And if no one believes me just look in entites.vol for the motartrail.dts file and hex edit it.

not trans red ps;)

Aren't there supposed to be these new pallettes that have been made/are being made? So won't we be able to have nice reds in t1 soon?
