When weapons don't fire

Postby stardust » 01 Jul 2018, 18:52

Here's a good one for the crowd. I can't seem to figure this out. For my little personal naval units project, I have three assets I've borrowed that don't seem to work.

BRPT1ADVNAVYGUN makes the firing noise but that's it. Nothing else happens. No fire and no damage on a hostile target.

URB2306 is supposed to be some sort of beam defense tower, but just sits there. Doesn't fire or do anything. No sound either.

ERS0302 is a frigate with a beam cannon and SAM launcher. The beam has a muzzle flash, impact effect and firing sound effect, but no actual beam. And I can find no reference to the weapon pointing to a projectile or effect.

Can anyone shed some light on this? Much obliged, thanks!

Hello Stardust,

well this is a bit complicated. To test/debug this units we need the unit folder with script an model files.

(Even with those data is maybe not possible to debug because you have linked some weapons to custom files inside your mod.)

Shucks, I was afraid of that.

Okay, the forum won't let me attach all files, so here are some dropbox links.

BRPT1:

ERS0302:

Appreciate the assist!

Hello stardust,

looks like i missed your last post :(

Is this solved, or do you still need help with this ?

Hello Stardust,

i am sorry, but i can't debug those units.
The first error i got was:

Code: Select all
Unable to find file /mods/naval unit pack 1.0/hook/cybranweapons.lua

Without all corresponding files i can't run the unit-scripts.

I guess you have to move this at the end of your ToDo list.

Uhh, that's strange, because it's there. The lua file, that is. And if memory serves, it's the stock one from the core game, unless I grabbed it from somewhere else...

I guess in this case it's the cybranweapons.lua from black ops.
But without the file from inside /naval unit pack 1.0/hook/ i can't debug.

For deeper debugging we need the whole mod folder with everything in it.
But because of copyright issues we can't upload the complete mod public.

Uveso, I sent you a PM.

On a different but similar tack, I was playing with the Orbital Wars Reborn mod and noticed that none of the big spaceships and some of the fighters don't fire at anything, no matter what. I took a look at the game code but didn't see anything jump out at me. Unless there was something with the layers? I'd really like to get it working, if possible, as it looks like it's been abandoned by the creator.
