is it possible to have a rocket flare like this in FF?

As of right now, not really. Eventually, we'd like to put some sort of rocketflare customization in Fortress Options.

There is this, though: http://forums.fortress-forever.com/s...ad.php?t=19217

I could swore I separated out the flair shiz around the time I did the explosion decal adjustment.. I know it shared some of the same decal info that was being used for half a dozen other stuff. I know I got it to the point where you could customize the smoke trail color, and tweak the flair color.

I can't for the life of me remember if I made that change live or not back when I was doing shit.

*edit to add, I'm at work, so its possible I'm talking 100% out of my ass.
** Second edit! Found my old post talking about this exact issue - the problem was that the smoke emitted from the rocket uses the particle system, and wasn't easy to adjust. So the long and short of it is *meh* So disregard the above about smoke.

If someone would seperate it up; i'd start making skins for it.

It's my understanding you can change the rocket flare but it will also change your muzzleflash... but you can disable muzzleflashes with cl_disablemuzzleflashes 1

Squeek linked it in post #2. Sorry PoC to me is Marxist to you

Its actually super easy to seperate the rocket flair from the muzzle flash gcf. All you need to do is point the rocket flair info from the generic source gcf to the rockets ingame folder, and copy the actual texture file there.

I don't have FF installed here at work, so I can't give you the exact info, but it should just be a matter of editing the rockets vtf (or whatever the file that you can open in notepad is.. I'm way out of practice now) to point to the new location w/in FF's materials folder, instead of the source materials.

It really should have been done that way in the first place. Many of FF's resources pull from the generic files, and share them across the board. I guess that allows for a smaller package size for FF, but makes modding a pain.

I digress tho, as I said, it is a really easy fix. I'm not sure if you can edit this locally on your own client, but maybe if a dev loves you enough, they'll update it in the next patch. It'd probably be worth the effort to go in and seperate out some of the more moddable texture files, but I dunno if it'd ever be considered a priority thing.

it would be too easy to do. Unfortunately FF uses the same flare for rocket trail that it uses for the muzzle flash for all your weapons. If they make them separate files, too easy. But, if you want, I can make it. But, when you shoot a gun it's gonna have a blue flare looking muzzle flash.

CHURCHMOUTH · 01-09-2010, 02:31 AM

sounds cool make it happen

NeonLight · 01-09-2010, 05:01 AM
