Changing the bold items will make it like a beam weapon.

Thanks, but I want to create the beam type weapon in the original beam mod (not advanced beam mod, I don't like the effects for it as much). Does anyone know how?

in data\fx\beam_effects.ini, the entries for the beam weapon in the mod:

[BeamSpear
nickname = Li_laser_01_beam
tip_length = 5
tail_length = 60
head_width = 2
core_width = 2
tip_color = 0, 0, 0
core_color = 255, 255, 255
outter_color = 200, 200, 255
tail_color = 55, 55, 155
head_brightness = 1
trail_brightness = 1
head_texture = ball
trail_texture = thin
flash_size = 3

[BeamBolt
nickname = Li_laser_01_beam
tip_length = 9000
tail_length = 9000
core_length = 60
head_width = 1
core_width = 0.3
sec_core_width = 1
tip_color = 172, 34, 172 <--- These entries dictate colour
core_color = 185, 34, 185
outter_color = 152, 35, 184
sec_core_color = 255, 155, 0
sec_outter_color = 255, 0, 0
tail_color = 111, 37, 184
head_brightness = 0
trail_brightness = 2
head_texture = star
trail_texture = wide
flash_size = 4

In data\equipment\weapon_equip.ini, the refire_delay of "li_gun01_mark01" is set to 0.001. So if you make the changes in the Beam entries and the change in the refire, the Justice Mk I will become the beam weapon from the mod.

Ok, which one do I put into the beams_effects.ini file? One says beamspear and one says beambolt.

Ok, thanks. The only problem is that a while back I changed the Justice Mk I so that it fired one of the class 10 weapons (I can't remember the name of the weapon, but the effect is a blue ball). So, instead of a laser look it's just dozens of blue balls firing per second. Can someone give me the original weapon_equip.ini data for the Justice Mk I? Thanks. I also need the weapon_goods.ini data for the Justice Mk I as I think I changed it too.

download a copy of the Freelancer SDK v1.3 made by Louva-Deus

the FreelancerSDK is set of decompressed ini files(over 1200) from the original game of Freelancer
You can use this package to make your mod making life easier since it contains fixes for all the major errors in the original source.
It also fixes the errors caused from decompression using bini.

So you will have a copy of every ini file already decompressed.
Just install the files to what ever folder you want.
By default the installer will ask you if you want to install the files into the Freelancer folder but you can put a copy of the files where ever you want to use whenever you need them.
