Thomas Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I understand for weapons green is ready, red is off, what does grey mean? I need this info to update the wepons. Thanks all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 What does grey mean? That you are colourblind? Sorry, couldn't help myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 Come on now .. i picked out red and green P...I figured it was out of ammo but missles just disappear when they are gone not sure what a loaded grey missle means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Weapon slots can be damaged by enemy fire (including missiles not yet fired), so it's disabled. I think you can also disable missiles from firing manually by clicking on them, which may turn them red. Red indicates that they are not able to fire due to being out of range or not having missile lock, I think, rather than not intending to fire.

Giovanni Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 If you're referring to the images placed in assets/aircraft/aircombat/weapons/, then I'm sorry but changing those files' colour won't affect them in the aircombat screen.. Only the gray files are loaded, then they are colourized in the source code to the green/red ones you see in the game. Basically, you'll be able to modify the weapons' shape, but not the colour of their ready to launch status. (Now removing excess files to prevent any future confusion on that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Thanks for your responses. I have got all the aircraft in full color but looks like the weapons will have to stay as-is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 I have another question. I have been holding off the release of my mod due to having no damage images of the aircraft except for the F-17 and Mig-31. Will the other aircraft receive damage like these 2 planes in the release?

Chris Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I think we'll be disabling the damage system for this reason, or certainly removing the damage images. It'll be a lot more graphical art otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously there is already a flag in the code that tells the program to use a damaged picture. I'd just put a flag in the XML that allows a different image to be used in the event a plane is damaged. Certainly couldn't hurt anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 that sounds excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Definitely leave the system in place. It will be much easier for modders to add the details later and you won't actually need to make any changes to the game. You can always just direct the xml to the same files for each level of damage.
