SeaWolf U-57 · 05-22-09, 04:58 AM

Yay, I've got something I'm pretty happy with.

If anyone wants this in a little JSGME package, let me know.

Thanks OLC!
*kisses*

Could you tell me which .dat the texture is in for the beam?

ed: Silly question! I can just look at the mod!

Gerroffme and check the mod. The image is called Raza2.tga (and there's one in each of the two DAT files).

BTW....what was wrong with the original file structure?

OLC,

Just FYI and IIRC, we made the beam that long since early GWX (in truth an old work/idea by CCIP and oRg) because we introduced the anti-air attack beams on the ports. IIRC they use the same beam and for that purpose long beams were better. Also, i can be wrong again, but the default sh3 beam is short like this new one.

Don't want to miss scenes like these:

Only problem with editing the existing lites.
You FUBAR the Lights for Air Raids.

You'll need to Clone the Lites and do some renameing
and Campaign work to retain them.

Letum · 05-22-09, 09:09 PM

As I see more ships than air raids, that's fine by me.

Come to think of it...I have never seen an air raid!

I think "FUBAR" might be overstating.

Besides, like Letum I have yet to see a single air raid (and I've played... gosh... maybe as many as a hundred GWX patrols).

On the other hand, I see ships all the time!

Given the amount of work involved in changing the air raid lights I don't think I'll bother... not on the off-chance that I see an air raid some time in my next hundred patrols.

I figured the enemy was just trying to get on my t*ts and blind me.
