Topic: Swap out missles for new weapon

[James Formo]

I read in a topic that some didn't like SFC2 because it had missles in it. They claimed that it would not be economically possible to produce warp drive for all those missles.

I was wondering if there might be a way to change the textures for the missle. The missles themselves could be made invisible by downsizing the missle mod.

I haven't come across anything in the texture folder that looks like the missle trails. Maybe its hard coded. Any Ideas?

I was thinking if It was as simple as adding a new texture. I could change the missles to slow plasma and give wm to the Romulans and Gorn. Maybe this has already been done. Comments, suggestions, criticisms, rants, raves?

The missile trail and exaust are on the fx0.bmp.  The trails are in the upper left, the exausts are the colored orb-ish things.

Thanks Lapis

 As far as I can see they are more economically viable than torpedoes coz they're actually going sublight (like everything in SFCII) and don't need all that antimatter for their explosions - I would assume they are fusion tipped warheads like the Rommies used to use (see Balance of Terror - they didn't use them by that time but still had them for self-destruct purposes)

The way SFC2 is made, you can always edit the specs file to remove the missile loadout and replace them with other weapons. Get the Shipedit program and play with it and you can do almost anything, as long as the GUI you use for the ship can handle that many weapons.
