Greek Firethrower Problem

**Prince Imrahil** · March 28, 2010, 10:01 AM

Im not sure if this is just a custom battle problem (ive never got to use them in the campaign yet) but the fire stream has no animation. By this I mean that the firethrowers get ready to fire and then out of the blue the enemy spontaneously combust without having been touched by fire. Funny yet annoying

. Anyone else had this problem?

Cant say i've seen this. What version of SS are you using?

Im using SS 6.2 with Caralampio's Odds and Ends mod. Plus I modified the descr_effects_impacts file to set permanent arrows.

Were the firethrowers working before you modified the impacts file?

Yeah they worked fine. I dont see how editing how long arrows remain would effect the greek fire animation though.

I have.
Just one time, then it fixed itself the next game. :\

Just covering all the bases

What version of Windows are you running? If you have Vista or Windows 7, have you turned UAC off?

**Prince Imrahil** · March 29, 2010, 06:36 PM

Im running Vista. Never heard of an UAC before. Whats that? And how do you turn it off?

Check the Vista sticky thread at the top of this forum for details.

Hmm. Ok I gave that a try and it didnt do anything to solve the problem. I remembered last night that im also using Crimson Tide 4.2 and I know that effects the descr_effects_impacts file. Maybe its something to do with that (anyone?).
