Ammo editing.........

[skinny killer]

Hey,

I was wondering is it possible to have tracers in shotgun mode on a ammo type in the ammo.DEF?

in DFX the minigun doesn't fire as fast as a real minigun. so I made i fire really fast in the weapon.def and used the "FLAG SHOTGUN" in it's ammo settings so that it fires 5 rounds with a single click. it was a lot more realistic....... I tweaked it a little to make it harder to use so that noobs wouldn't go crazy with it in MP and I brought it's accuracy down.

the only problem is it doesn't show the tracers. and what good is a mini gun if you don't have tracers to show you where you are firing. when I remove the shotgun command it shows tracers. but I need the shotgun command for the high fire rate.

Basic question: in the ammo.def how do I get the tracers to show when using the "FLAGS shotgun" command?

thanx 4 any help

think the M60 has the tracers enable on it, think if you check it out you may find what your looking for in there

no you're missing the point...... lol

I know how to get the tracer to work. but I can't get it to work when the ammo type is a shot gun type. in other words it has the "Flag Shotgun" command in it.

what the shotgun command does is it allows more then one of that ammo type to be fire from the gun at the same time. like when you click to fir it will shoot 5 (or how ever many you want) of that ammo type at the same time. the only problem is for some reason the tracers won't work on an ammo type that uses the "Flag Shotgun" command.

thanks

Well a shotgun fires shells doesn't it? Do those count as tracers?

Maybe the flag shotgun is not supposed to show tracers. Maybe you can find an alternate way of rapidly firing it?

if you are making a mod, please bring the weapon zooms to real levels, (no saw snipers), real damage levels, (no two shot m24 kill), and the cool new minigun!

GgtDylan,

I put Zooms in the scopes. and I got rid of that cheesy scope nova put in it. I gave it the good ol' BHD scopes.

and don't worry about them saw snipers. I Gave the saw a lot of drift in the sights so it's hard to aim it, I gave it about as much recoil as the Joint Ops SAW and the ammo doesn't cause as much damage. it takes about 2 or 3 shots to kill if you hit them in the chest.

the sniper rifles also have drift in the scopes so it's more realistic and more challenging to use.

and I've made changes to minigun. like I said above I gave it a more realist fire rate but I made it more challenging to use. it's really fun to use but challenging.

there's some other stuff I changed too. I also added heat Values to the 50.CAL's. I hear a lot of complaints about "NOOBIES" hosing the place down with the 50.CAL. so heat values is not only realistic but it forces the players and noobs to fire in bursts.

SgtDylan, Give me more suggestions. what are common problems in multiplayer when playing DFX? my internet isn't fast enough for Multiplayer so I'm not aware of all the multiplayer problems that hurt the game play.

I'm hoping to use this weapon MOD to address Multiplayer problems like using a SAW as a sniper rifle. and anything else that will improve gameplay.

so please give me your suggestions........anything you can think of........ thanx!!!
