Removing Constant Muzzle Flash

[Gweedo]

How do you get rid of the constant muzzle flash in Resistance? Can you do it in the .cpp file?

[SharkDog]

You can do it with changing somthing in the options of the video stuff not with resolution but the other stuff

[Gweedo]

I've tried, but nothing works. I've turned off Hardware T&L and that didn't do anything.

I saw something on the old forums about it but I didn't get a chance to read it.

[KTottE]

Should have been posted in Addons...

Anyway, there is a solution, can't remember it now though. I'll check back when I remember it.

De-PBO the addon, and add these lines to the config.cpp file

class CfgModels
{
   class default {};
   class Weapon: default {};
   class weapon-name: Weapon {};
};

Compress it, and it should work.

Some addon makers have made a fix.pbo to their addons to solve this.

[Gweedo]

Add it where? Just anywhere?

 :)This is a fix done by selectthis.
class CfgPatches
{
   class sebnam_ofpR_fix
   {
      units[] = {};
      weapons[] = {};
      requiredVersion = 1.75;
   };
Placement I beleive does not matter because it is a class by its self.  You can try it without the class sebnam_ofpr_fix line.  Not sure abot this but I hope this helps people.   :cheers:

  It's not working. I've gotta go get something to eat, so have at it.

;D

*cough* uuum, gweedlydodyboy, listen up!   I think it's the p3d fileName  
The BUGFIX should be well placed after the "CfgPatches" part of the .cpp file  

Laterz  

------------------------------

[mod] :  What?! ...what is it now?!   :beat:

[Gweedo]

OH YEAH! It works!

It's the model name not the weapon name. Like this...

class GIM_MinimiMag: MachineGun7_6Manual
   {
      scopeWeapon=0;
      scopeMagazine=2;
      model="\Gimbal_Minimi\wmodel\SNSSAWP3D.p3d"; <--Model name
      displayName="M249 SAW";
      displayNameMagazine="Minimi Mag.";
      shortNameMagazine="Minimi Mag.";
      picture="\Gimbal_Minimi\tex_minimi\m_minimi.paa";

----------------------------------------

class CfgModels
{
class Default{};
class Weapon: Default{};
class SNSSAWP3D: Weapon{}; <--Model name
};

----------------------------------------

I should have thought of that before since it's CfgModels. I just took a look at another addon that's been fixed and realized what they did. But thanks a lot for the help, I appreciate it.

.....so, he wuz awake then.... *ahem*  :beat:  ;D  Neat, m8, off course it's the p3d  

( I need a beer now! )

[Gweedo]

Hey! Shut up! You guys started off saying weapon-name.  

class CfgModels
{
   class default {};
   class Weapon: default {};
   class weapon-name: Weapon {};
};

See. I just kinda skimmed through your part because I figured it would be the same as what was above.

[Tomb]

yer welcome, m8    ( )
