    Default Greek Fire

    Which file and specifically which value controls the length of the flame stream on the greek flame throw units ? Not the range of the unit, the the actual visual flame stream on screen ?

    Default Re: Greek Fire

    Should be descr_projectile - the formula of velocity, angle and mass. See the remarks at the top of the file:
    Code:
    ;    projectile descriptions text file
    ;
    ; to calculate projectile parameters take
    ;    d = shot distance from export_unit_descr.txt
    ;    d = v^2 / g (at 45 deg) -> v = sqrt(d*9.81)
    ;    check weapon ranges with angle ranges using
    ;    d = v^2 * sin(2*a) / g
    ;
    ; NB: a velocity of 0 indicates a dropped projectile (oil, stones from walls etc), these are
    ;     solely gravity propelled and ignore most range checks that would otherwise prevent them
    ;     from firing.
