Problem with torpedoes

[Konrad]

Most of my photon torpedoes are still ugly textured squares, even after the update.
Where's the guy who made this thing?


Disclaimer: I've tried downloading several different torpedo textures/mods, and it hasn't been fixed.

[MLeo]

This thread isn't about that sort of thing.
Also, you are nearly violating the above "rule".
As in, you didn't post a link to the projectile mod.


MLeo EDIT: Split from the original topic.

The question still stands, which particular projectile?

[tiqhud]

the actual photon torp- request (made by ship) is in the Hardpoint file
in other words any torpe- a ship uses needs to be defined in that ships HardPoint

[Konrad]

OK.

I've tried the top 6 torpedo mods, sans the torpedo turret.

The torpedoes that don't work are regular old photon torpedoes on every federation ship.

Pulse-style torpedoes still look fine.

I believe this mod is responsible for the problem.

Perhaps you could have been a little more clear about what I should have been linking to, and what rule I violated.

Screenshot please?

If you are talking about "Ducats Photon Replacement" then there have been more complaints about it in the past. It has a very similar problem you described. But without a screenshot there isn't much I can say about it.

Pulse-style torpedoes still look fine.

As in Bird of Prey pulse style? Or CG Sovereign pulse quantum style?

I believe this mod is responsible for the problem.

I'll take a look, but I somehow don't think this is the case.

You were talking about a mod, but you didn't name it, and you didn't provide a link to it.

and what rule I violated.

For starters, the thread itself wasn't about solving problems, it's about "How not to ask a question". In the context of the thread, you were spamming the thread, and we have a special forum for that. The rule I mentioned was related to the subject of the thread.
The link I posted there (the example) was of someone who screamed a question in a language nobody knew (aparently was English, but this isn't the case here). And he didn't completely explain his problem either. And this is part of the rule I mentioned. I don't know all the mods that are out there, nor all the problems they can bring. Since this situation doesn't happen normally, then it must be a mod. So a link to the one in question would be nice.

But we're drifting from the topic. <_<

I had similiar problem with intrepid uss belfasts plasma torpedos but I believe it was caused by missing texture because when I edited torpedo plugin and corrected path to torpedo glow map it worked fine, try it of course if we're talking about the same problem here

[Konrad]

I have positively no idea how to do that, could you please tell me how?

[Bones]

If You have only torpedo core and flares showed up but no torpedo glow but only square so You have wrong torpedo glow map name, You have to go to scripts/tactical/projectiles and there search for torpedo plugin you want to edit then open it in notepad and find those lines

Code: [Select]

pTorp.CreateTorpedoModel(
"data/Textures/Tactical/qCore.tga",
kCoreColor,
0.6,
3.5,
"data/textures/tactical/qGlow.tga",
kGlowColor,
7,
7.10,
7.75,
"data/textures/tactical/qBlank.tga",
kGlowColor,
0,
0.1,
0.14)and check paths to those tgas if they fit with tgas in those directories if something is different it causes problem.

I know this is late reply but since I recently got my BC Disk and all I decided to give it a whirl if you havent got your torpedos fixed, I know the cause of it. It's the Dur_PromPhotonTorpedo Script, they give you the torpedo but they don't give you the textures for it. I noticed this when I redownloaded the NovaII (Aka Rhode Island Variant).

Also check your PhotonTorpedosb file also in scripts/projectiles, I noticed that it doesn't carry any textures. Addon/Mod probably overwrote them.
