Every time i had a fighter primary set to a muzzleflash, the actual 'flash' always occurred where (my gunpoints were when) I started the mission.... regardless of my actual position. Annoying, to say the least ...

I'll have to get back online at home and really crack open the source code files... at the very least I can try and make more constructive suggestions

I want to be able to do that.

Just because they didn't have flashes for rubber duckys doesn't mean we won't am I right?

You'll need to introduce new code, not just redefine constants.

If I were you, I'd just make the burst-firing algo an optional feature which is either defined by the ship data or by an in-game option (which would be easier as it does not require modifying anything).

EDIT: For the muzzle-flash thing, you probably need to change some if switches that check what weapon type it is.

Umm.... yes. I did it. I made a new muzzleflash for one of the weapons in MT.

I set the Nightmare fighters to a 0.1 delay - they fire a constant stream of laser death.....maybe i misunderstood what you wanted?

i think so, i meant for a capital ship turret, the thing refuses to fire the thing as fast as it can and insists on firing one shot at a time with about a 1 second delay between each shot.

I think if you give a weapon the Stream flag cap ships will fire it faster, but still not machine gun or fighter weapon fast. More firing points might make a difference. Haven't tested that. I took a fighter weapon, made a copy with Big Ships and Stream, and set the fire wait to 0.01. It fired faster then a normal cap ship weapon would I think, but not as fast as I fired the same weapon with a 0.02 delay. The turret had two firing points and it alternated between them.

Guys, feel free to look at the modifications I did to the capital ship beams in my CapShip Turret Upgrade (link in siggy). THey fire something liek the Star Destroyer turbo lasers - sort of.

hmm........ I'm sure it works with my capships (I tend to use fast firing fighter lasres on most of the turrets).

Could be an AI thing for target aquisition, though.... maybe it rechecks every time?
