Yea, as the title states I've got some questions. A: I'm trying to make new smoke and muzzle flash sprites for a brute plasma rifle, but I have no idea how I'd make those kind of sprites. B: How could I change the ammo meters from, well, ammo meters to words. Like "press '' to pick up the *weapon name*" C: I've redone the sniper rifle animations, although when the reload-full animation is done, It takes the same amount of time as the original animations for the ammo meter to fill up and for me to be able to shoot. How do I fix that? D: Also I've redone the needler animations, I want the needles to be extendeded at frame 16. but in my ammunition.jmo I made them all up at 16, but they still don't come up till the end. ugh alot of questions, sorry. thanks to all that help.

A: As in how to make the actual muzzle flash bitmap itself or to make a bitmap into a sprite? If the latter, add a 1-pixel blue (255b 0r 0g) outline around the edge of the frame. Open the .bitmap in guerilla/kornman00 and change the settings to http://www.modacity.net/forums/showpost.php?p=107093&postcount=18

B: Not sure.

C and D: I think it's somewhere in the weapon\model_animation tag, I'll edit if I find it.

C: Did you create the sniper animations from scratch, or did you modify the existing ones? And you can set reload time in the .weapon

make it into a sprite. I have the smoke and muzzle flash bitmap; all I did to them is turn them red.


And yes from scratch, and I did set it in the .weapon tag.

Try increasing the reload time then.
