can you post a screenshot of the effect ?

btw I have an idea how to make the blue swirl around the main trajectory tracer, but I'm pre-occupied with the missles, and a thing or 2 on the madcat. Can say anything about that just yet

...You don't know what the Thunderbolt is?... It's a missile. A big... horking... missile. (yes, I said "horking"). The newest version in Mercs. has Arrow IV equipped, so it's homing. Hmm... That could be an upgrade for the traditional, non-homing Thunderbolt...

Replying to death angel

I cannot post screens without any sort of internet connection, why, because generals in on my computer in my room and my dad hates games and thinks their stupid and won't fix that DSL Router thats gathering dust so I can't post any screenshots of any sort.

havent you heard of that small portable storage device ?
it's called a FLOPPY DISK :P

and no, I havent heard of a thunderbolt since I dont have MechWarrior games

I only played mechCommander 1 and soon I'll be playing MC2.
I've played some mechwarrior, but nothing intensive really.
I dont know about adding bigass missles though, like the arrow ... I think the game should be more of a head-on sort of thing with lots of missles and lasers flying through the air

The thunderbolt is essentially just a long range hard-hitting missile, with considerably long recycle times. You might just use the Scorpion Rocket for that.

My floppy drive is not working! :-P

So go buy a new one. They're what? $8, $10 a the most?

Actually, the Thunderbolt should have been included in the 1st ver. loaded in the Daishi's shoulder. Unfortunately, the missile image ingame is quite similar to the raptor missile, so i just removed it.
We'll try again to improve it and put it in TC.

Sweet...

hhmm, but the Daishi already is a pretty heavy hitting mech, maybe we should add the verry heavy dmg weapons on medium mechs, which are a bit more vulnerable.

anyway I just dont like the long-range, stay out of harms way weapons, I'm all head-on-action

but thats just me

although its not my thing, I think you're right putting it in.
