Can you make the Tizona Del Cid projectile visible?

If you are stuck in a mission and do not know how to continue, this is the place to ask for help. Missing that elusive Level 10 Shield? Don''t know where to find the lost Ohtori ship? This is the only place where spoilers are allowed!

Can you make the Tizona Del Cid projectile visible?

I love this game, but I have really soured on the TDC.

Not a single other pulse gun in the game shares it's 'invisible' projectile quality. The Debilitators, Boroccos, Stunpulse, all are visible. It is infurating that the most overpowered weapon in the game is also overwhelmingly cheap.

Players have caught on, and have been pairing TDCs with 3.03 fire rate Nomad guns. Unlike players with 4.0 refire rate Nomad guns, I no longer have a point of reference to attempt to dodge the unseen projectiles. My shields get ripped to shreds by phantoms as I dodge the visible nomad projectiles.

So, has somebody made a patch, or found a way to hack the client so the TDC projectile is visible? I have nothing against shield killers themselves ( I use Adv Debilitators quite a bit ), but invisible projectiles in a game CONCENTRATED on dogfighting is just cheap.

open up the weapon_equip.ini file and change the const_effect=pi_pulse_03_proj to something like const_effect=pi_tachyon_01_proj...lt doesnt exactly fit with the gun, but you will be able to see it at least

Thank you, I'll give it a shot.

Actually... the Rapier, another Corsair shield killing weapon, doesn't have a graphic either. I think it might only be a turret, though...
