Permanent Arrows

**The Cobra** · July 30, 2008, 04:03 PM

after reinstalling the game and adding all my favorite sub-mods, i found that the arrows don't last, Although i ticked that option in the patch.

can somebody please tell me what are the files that are used in the data folder to create Permanent Arrows ?

I already have RAJ installed, but i need to know what file is responsible for making arrows permanent so that i can install the SS6.1 patch in an empty folder and copy the file to my SS data folder, i once added permanent arrows to BC but i cant remember what file i used.

I htink you have to reinstall the 6.1 patch, and untick PA, not save game compatible I believe

actually just go into descr_effect_impacts.txt and change the "play time" values of arrows and flaming arrows (although these might be heavy on your system) to whatever you want,
alternatively you could just remove them from the calculations by adding a ; infront of the play_time entry... just make sure you dont do it to anything else than arrows and flaming arrows... could look wierd having an artillery impact that lasts forever...

I found that flaming arrows don't stay, but normal ones do. i think (have to check).

chappes method worked great. Ive found this really cool way to disable sprites aswell.

**Oddball_E8** · July 31, 2008, 08:42 AM

oh and removing permanent arrows doesnt need a reinstall... just open the file i mentioned earlier and make sure there is no ; infront of the play_time entries...
or that they have incredibly high values (i think default is 5)

oh thats wierd Oddball, my fire arrows have definately never looked like that before, staying lit on the floor or even visible. Did you change any settings or just install 6.1 and tick the perm arrows box?
