City walls? Arrow trails?

[^Mr.S]

I have two questions, this first: how can I get stone city walls to take less damage (like damage that castle walls take?) I've modified descr_walls, which does modify the gate and arrows etc, but it won't change the health of stone city walls.
The second is: how can I remove arrow trail effects. I asked this almost two months ago but no one replied. I managed to remove the trail on the balista bolt, but I can't get it off of the arrows using the same technique.
Thanks in advance.

If increasing the health of the walls doesn't help, you can cut the damage projectiles do in descr_projectile.txt. Some projectiles have a value listed for attack against buildings, you can try lowering that one.

Don't know about the arrow trails.

Well, that'd work for all buildings, but it's the city walls that I want to change the health of. THanks for the reply though.

The arrow trails?... descr_arrow_trail_effects and descr_effect_impacts, and set the arrow effects to 0 i dit that and worked.

You will need to unpack the descr_flaming_projectiles.txt, arrow_trail_effects.txt and descr_projectile.txt files. Open descr_projectile.txt and you will see that it list the effects set for each type of projectile. The first effect set listed will contain the trail effect also. The trails effect_sets can be found in the other two unpacked files. For normal arrows it shows arrow_new_set. This effect_set is found in descr_flaming_projectiles.txt so open that file and comment out the arrow_model_trail effect like so:

effect_set arrows_new_set
{
	lod 1000
	{
		arrow_model
		;arrow_model_trail
		arrow_whizz_sound
		arrow_fly_sound
	}
}

That should do it. The same method can also be used to remove other trails such as cannonball trails.

Hey Godspeed,

I was just browsing around the forums, and I stumbled upon this!

I, just like you said edited out the "arrows_model_trail" for arrows (in descr_flaming_projectiles.txt, and now the trails are gone!!!

But where do I edit out the trails for cannonballs & such?

Thx a bunch!

I have a better way to remove the trails without changin the descr_flaming_projectiles...

Extract and paste in your mod or vanilla data\models_effects\textures

And the trail is gone.

Eh? It worked for me!
