Post subject: Color of bulluts...

Ok when i enter my zone and i like shoot bombs and bulluts why is my bulluts and bomb always red. My mombs are alwasy fast and and red and my bulluts are red but they are not rrapid. I want my bulluts to be bouncy and to be blue. Also you can get downgrades wich wont make you lose any energy sence they arent going to be as strong.Also for bombs i dont want them to be rapid fire and also for them to be blue, but they can can get downgrades. If you guys arent having truble what im saying please help me.

There's some sort of value you can set in server.cfg that makes the prize you pick up periodically give negative rewards. I think that it is:

Code: Show/Hide

[Prize]
Negativeprize=30

(where 1 is every prize and 30000 is extremely rare)

Set it accordingly with how often you'd like them to 'accidently' get a downgrade.

When I am playing in my zone my bomb and gun level is always 1 (red). My red bomb and bullets are fast but they have a big fire delay. I want my bullets to have bounce and be level 3. Also, how do I make it less rare to get downgrades? For my bombs I want them to be level 3 and not super firing, a big-ish delay. Please help me.

OK THERE WE GO (no offense by the way)

1. Login to sysop, press ESC + C (brings up setts).. go to ship settings, set InitialBombs to 3, go to MaxBombs to 3, do same for bullets. Go to ship settings, look for BulletFireDelay, make it smaller to make them more rapid.

2. The only way (that i kno of) to make ships start with bouncing bullets is to change Prize:Bounce= to make them less rare to get.. To make less rare to get downgrades just change the number in Prize: too..

3. Already said how to make bombs lvl 3.. for delay go to BombFireDelay..

(I also mite not make sence, 3:12 AM, tired, good nite)

So what exactly is it you want? More rapid and bouncing bullets at level 3?

Well ok thats just about what i want but i want level 1 bulluts (blue) for them to start out with. Also one more thing, when you hold the power ball how do i make them so it changes thier bulluts to the pink ones. Liek they start out with the blues and when they pcik up the power ball the turn pink bulluts, then when they drop the ball it turns back to blue.

go to the Flag section in setts... theres something like FlagUpgradeGuns and FlagUpgradeBombs or something like that... change them both to 1

Then, go to Soccer section.. there should be UseFlagger in there.. set that to 1 and that does it

Unfortunately, if you're wanting the upgrade to be from the level one (red bullets) to the pink bullets (which are in fact level four, then you'd still need to have a level 3 (blue bullets), before the flag upgrades your weapons.

In other words, you'd need to change the colors in your color.bm2, as I said before.

And to make it even more clearer:

Level 1
Level 2
Level 3
Level 4

Ok. Now the difference is--if I understand you correctly--that you want the Level 1 bullets to be blue instead of red. This means that when you get the weapons upgrade from flags--the flags boost your weapons one level--that your bullet color would change from red to yellow. The only real way to have the upgrade from level 1 bullets to level 2 bullets change the color from blue to pink (actually they are violet) would be to swap the colors of level 4 bullets with level 2, and level 3 with level 1....

Change Red to Blue and change Yellow to Pink/Violet in your color.bm2 file.

I can't really make it much clearer. If you don't understand, just IM me at Oniwabansu1 on AOL Instant Messenger and I'll probably wind up making the color.bm2 file for you.

Talk about bright?

but he means.. the actual level of the gun.. not the color.. so he needs to make ships start with lvl 3, then useflagger=1 in soccer setts, make setts for flag have GunUpgrade=1

1st. Lvl 1's are red, Lvl 2's are yellow, Lvl 3's are Blue, and Lvl 4's are purple. Of course lvl 1 is the weakest and as you go up in lvls they get stronger.

2nd. There is a setting... I think its something like Bullet upgrade or something... not sure and to lazy to check, but when looking at the settings in the game it will have a description saying that it will give the ball or flag carrier a gun upgrade. So if you start with lvl 3 and pick up the ball you will have lvl 4 while your carrying it. There is also a setting just like it for the bombs also.

3rd. Bullet and Bomb fire energy is the settings that will determind whether you shoot fast or slow... The more energy the slower the shots come out, the less the energy the faster. To change the bullet speed of travel is in the bullet speed setting. You have to change them for each of the ships.

Maybe this will clear this horrible post up

Yup it did but theres just one more thing i need. Ok i have everything running good but now people start out with none bouncing bulluts. I want them to have bounce. How do i make everyone start out with them.

Katie - Sat Aug 28, 2004 12:42 pm

In server.cfg:

Code: Show/Hide

[ShipName]
InitialBounty=15

[Prizeweight]
Bounce=50

They may not always start with bouncing bullets, but there's a good chance they will. I wouldn't change either any higher, otherwise you'll A) start wtill too many items and/or advantages, or B) If you set the prizeweight too high, that's pretty much all you'll get when you pick up a green.
