there is also damage per fire maby if you change it to a higer number you can get damage from your own fire im am cheking it now

i am only atacking the people who want to kill me....

Hey, I noticed you can get even "beamier" looking weapons by changing the entries you want in beam_effects.ini from [beamspear to [beambolt. Be sure to add in the missing values, as well. (Refer to default_beam_bolt at the top for all values)

Why make your own mistakes when someone else has already made them for you?
-Learn from the skeletons floating in the piranha pool: NO SWIMMING[!

nope the damage per fire has nothing to do with damage to your ship

i am only atacking the people who want to kill me....

ok is there something wrong with my game? cuz nothing in my weapon_equip.ini file has settings with numbers.....

i want to make nomad cannons and silver fires into beam weapons. what should i look for to edit?


i thinnk the silverfire would look so freakin kick ass as a beam weapons...with its weird circle thingies for its trail....ooooh
and the nomad cannon would look like a purple streamer...sweet

I hate to say it but the beam mod was not completely done right. THIS is how it should be done.

Here is am image from some of the new beam weapons I am implementing in my mod, FSP2 like I already have all the new beam weapons done The first pic of of the heavy beam weap the second is of the best turret. Added a thrid of my dagger with 6 of the Heavy Starbeams

Adv Starbeam Turret: (best freighter beam)

I had to add an extra entry into some files since I have 5 effects and there were only 4.

Then make a copy of ci_laser_04.ale and rename to ci_laser_05.ale

I'll make a mod script for Reynen's beam weapon asap

Reynen, great work.

But when i was trying out your beam, I noticed something strange. Look at these screens, the first one is me shooting a docking ring turret, the second is when the turret explodes.

shooting a docking ring turret

-

the turret explodes

Something about a target exploding seems to make the beam cooler...

he what the original tekst that you need to replace becouse i can't find what i need to replace and then it doesn't work

Reynen could you please send the .ini file to me becouse i can't do it by myself my e mail is [email protected]

thank already


pardon me for my englische but i am only 15 in i live in the Nederlands so i can make mistakes.

(non modder) Could you like make a super powerful beam weapon that charges and then fires?
and if you can make the charge look like the cruise drive charging up?
and make the beam really big with LOOOONG! recharge time and use up a buttload of energy to fire?
this wouild be mainly a battleship destruction weapon that can take one out in one hit?

nuclear BOOM[!

Oh, and just a note: both kongfuchicken's and Reynen's beam weapon mods are up for download as auto-installing mod archives in the Freelancer Mod Manager thread.

Titan Very Heavy Fighter
2 Wyrm Type 2s
2 Nomad Energy Blasters
2 DiamondBacks
1 FireKiss Turret
1 Starkiller torpedo Launcher
And a lot of back-up weapons that do 600-1175 hull damage per shot.
(including a lot of nomad energy blasters and cannons)

I haven't tried the beam weapons, but this is enough for me

(if you dont know the weapons I am talking about, then the answer is "no, i did not mod the game to get these"
