I'm messing around with China's napalm based weapons and I need a couple answers to some questions:

You know how you assign a scatter amount to a weapon entry to make it inaccurate when used against infantry? I'd like to know how to be able to do the same thing against all other targets. I'm basically interested in making the inferno cannon more innacurate to spread it's damage around an area.

Second, what was or where is the original particle effect entries for the mig napalm missle detonation and mig firestorm? You know, the ones where there where *lots* of little yellow ember particles rising and blowing in the breeze?

I've looked over and over in the Progen ini's and regular ZH ini's and can't find what I'm looking for.

I really don't want to have to figure out how to code them back in.

Thanks!

Zero Hours particle system is not as capable as generals, they toned it down for better performance.

Really? That's a bummer.

I wonder why they would even bother when all they could do is just redo some of the .ini entries. :/


Oh, nevermind on the scatterradius thing, I just didn't think to try looking at the strategy center gun or tech artillery platform for an example.

You can just copy the code for the fire straight out of Regular Gen. ZH contains everything Gen does, so it'll work.

there are changes to the particles system, Im not an expert, but there have been removals in ZH

[CodeCat]

Well AFAIK they just tweaked the particle systems, but they didn't touch the way particles themselves are rendered. So they should look the same in both Gen and ZH.

Really?, Then that's awesome.

Bump, but for fun purposes.


I increased the scatter radius up to 80 and the range up to 450 with a minimum of 200.

I also completely changed the historic bonuses and length of time an inferno cannon shells burns after impact.

Attack one target with about 8 Inferno Cannons and after about 45 seconds, firestorms begin showing up all over the screen. :drunk:

MMMmm, tastes like burning.

Historic bonus also has a a setting in gamedata:

HistoricDamageLimit = 5000 ; how long to retain historical-damage for weapons that need it, in msec

Jus thought Id mention it, as I used to have issues with the lenth of time historic bonuses are stored for.I never saw this setting.
