I dont want the big ugly landmines, I want the "energy ball" mines that ships can repel if they have a Repel.

How do I change it?

(Sucks using my other computer...)

all "mines" change into "bombs" when repelled

it sounds like you just want mines that don't look as silly as the standard ones

just find a mine image you like, then move it into your Continuum\graphics directory as "mines.bm2"

if you know of a zone with mines that you'd like to use, just specify which and I (or whoever) will dig up the mine image for you

-------

if you want to change the mine image for a zone you have sysop powers in, post again saying so

I see what you're saying.

I was looking for TW's mines, but I believe I can find them. If i cant I will post it.

Thanks for your help.

Ok, I found the picture, and it contains the mines I want to use, but how do I use them?

I want to use the set of mines on the bottom of the picture.

those are the standard mines

the bottom half are for EMP mines
EMP mines (or bombs) disable energy recharging for a short period of time

if you want to switch things around, just alter the image in any imaging software (MSPaint, Photoshop, etc) and follow the instructions in my first post

is there a way to just enable EMP mines in ships I choose without altering the picture?

yes

all you have to do is convince PriitK and DoCk> and whoever else in charge at TW to change the bomb settings for a public arena

...that, of course would probably mean you'll have to convince a couple hundred players

so....no, basically

Actually, if he just saves the mines.bm2 file in the TW folder, it will override the one inside the lvz file. I do this all the time to bypass ugly zone graphics so it uses mine instead.

For your own zone, just upload the mines.bm2 file to your zone's folder, and in the server.cfg file, in the [Misc] section, add LevelFiles=mines.bm2 or you could read up on LVZ help in the LVZ forums which contain many different descriptions on how to create and use lvz files.

Meh... I think I will just go without the .lvz for now.

Thanks for your help!
