Weapons with smoke trails
« on: June 20, 2010, 09:29:52 PM »
I've heard that this is possible with the Stargate Pack. How do I make this work? Is it something I add to the torpedo script itself?

wiley - you can contact LJ at BCS forums (or at Excal forums, he goes by John; you might have better luck getting him there) - if i recall correctly, he is the one that did the smoke trails for Dave for the Stargate Ship Pack...

I finally got it to work. The script was correct, but I just needed the files inside LJTorpLib2 for it to work. Deadthunder2_0 gets a cookie. :yay:

the only reason i ask is because as far as i know, LJ is the only person in the BC community to have made that script for smoke trails, so there may be a problem...
of course, i am sure LJ wouldnt mind his script being used - but if there is someone else taking the credit or is distributing them without LJ knowing, there is indeed a problem...

I should better email him to make sure everything is ok with me using his file.

ive never known John to be anything less than really friendly, kind, helpful, and overall a really good guy (and ive been good friends with him for like 5 years now)...  i am very certain he wont mind the script being used at all...

the only thing i am concerned about is that someone possibly might be claiming credit for John's work, and/or letting people use it saying it is their own...  that's just not cool...

I got his permission. Upon first impression, he's very nice. :)
