Engine glow-thingys

[Quinky]

Is there an easy way to change the sizes of the engine glows?

'Cause i modded the size of all the ships, but now the fighters just look like glowing balls of light  ;D

i find that at least now you can see them whem they are that small!

[Quinky]

Haha, yeah, but they still look dumb.....

strange, when i made my fighters tiny tiny the engine glows shrunk with them. 3 squadrons of realistically scaled and stated TIE Fighters dogfighting with a X-Wing squadron is majestic.

Same with me. I changed two values: Scale_Factor and Size_Value. Changing only Scale_Factor doesn't seem to do anything, but changing Size_Value and Scale_Factor seems to change all of the fx with fighters as well (except missiles and ion cannons).

[Quinky]

Ah, thanks. I just changed scale_factor, and it shrunk the fighters, but not the FX.

[Zer_Teron]

Strange, scale_factor changes all its fx in my game.

Oh noes! Now i got an exception when i tried to fire up EaW!  :-\

I edited it, and it worked fine. But it was still too big, so i went back out and edited it some more, and when i fired it up.....

"Sphlonk!" An exception!

[Quinky]

Ok, I fixed it.... I just got a new copy of the SPACEUNITSFIGHTERS file, and added in all the changes I'd made before...

Guess i entered a wrong thing somewhere  :

[DragonShadow]

Sooooo...the scale factor worked right?

 

That's the first thing I changed when I tried to shrink the fighters, and instead their engine glows disappeared. I was a little confused until I found the size value line...

[DragonShadow]

anyone know how to change engine glow color? Where's the code for it? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

[Quinky]

No idea, mate.  ;D
