Post subject: Can someone tell me the size of a bomb?

I need to know the pixel lenght and width of a 1 bomb image, I tryed to mesure on the Bombs.bm2 but its too confusing. Thanks if you can help.

16 x 16 pixels per frame, I believe

10 columns, 13 rows

so that's 160 x 208 pixels

size, however, is not important - you can make your bombs image just about any size you like, as long as there are 10 columns, 13 rows

But the radius of the bomb doesnt change, does it?

That is done by what you have it set in your server.cfg file, under the [Bomb] header.

Post subject: Arrow

Grr, I tried to make the bomb an arrow, one problem, it doesn't point where you fire it. I thought maybe someone had the same type of problem and could give me some pointers. The only think I can think of is the tail could be the shaft but I can't figure out how to edit it like that. If you can help, thanks.

That error is probably from a custom shipset not being rotated properly...

You can't give the projectile image a direction.
(Maybe cyan is related to bush?).

Well maybe if i set the tail to something else and have the bomb it self as an arrow head, i would try but i cant find out how to edit the tail...

The "trail" for ships is Exhaust.bm2, I found the bomb one! It's Damage.bm2!

To MK: DON'T STEAL MY IDEA! UNLESS YOU GIVE ME YOUR BOT-DAMAGE PLUGIN!

I tested it out and they dont look half bad. If you wanna see, go to SSDT Wormhole+ then go to the arena Zeldatest, try ship 2 and use the bomb!

OK, sorry, I thought you meant it literally fired in the wrong direction.

And nice giving your staff pw away, mate

what are you talking about?
1. I didnt give it away
2. Even if it did get out, no one can use unless I add them to the list

1) Take a look at your PNG.

2) What if the biller goes down?

If you have looked at SFN you will see it is traditional to put passwords in screenshots (let's hope no more SFN 'traditions' -cough-spam-cough- come here).

Even if you use dots/filled circles for the arrow trail, the arrowhead itself needs a direction. Also I don't think it will look good unless the dots are huge or the bombspeed is very low. (I tried to do something like this a few years back).
