Making A More Realistic Tracer

<div class="IPBDescription">quick and easy :)</div> Ok im sure some of you know these commands but i messed with them and got a fairly good looking tracer bullet (yes, its that yellow thing that flys out of the gun when you shoot)

Type these in your console for the new tracers:

tracerred 255
traceralpha .35 (NOTICE THE .!!!)
tracerlength 40
tracerspeed 2000

That should make a nice red tracer like you would see in movies! (yayayayay!!!)
Other commands are:
tracerred, tracergreen, tracerblue (rgb color silly) 0-255
tracerlength
traceralpha
tracerspeed

there may be a few others but i dont have them :/

    Very cool. Try setting the tracerspeed to 350 for a cool effect.

    Oh yea the tracers seem to reset when you quit the game, so do what he said and put it in autoexec.cfg

    ATTENTION:

    TO MAKE THIS ALWAYS WORK. COPY AND PASTE:
    tracerred 255
    traceralpha .35
    tracerlength 40
    tracerspeed 2000

    INTO YOUR NS/AUTOEXEC.CFG
    1) Open up notepad
    2) Paste what you copied from here into it
    3) Save
    4) Wallah

    guys this works with all mods, so 56k wont bog you down just play original halflife sp with it.
    looks good with team fortress too <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Why would it be illegal in CAL? No it isn't. If it was, tracers wouldn't be allowed. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    What would I put in for a Yellow tracer? (Like the default one).

    EDIT: On second thought, this is a stupid question, don't bother answering it. XD

    Dark:

    Put it in your autoexec.cfg

    And it's also hard to see at times since you don't see tracers 100% of the time. I saw it and thought it was pretty cool. They could last for another 1/2 second longer though. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    If you have a problem with it. I'll post up my autoexec.cfg so you guys can use it. Has the tracers and voice_loopback 1 on it <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    u gotta make one . . . u can just copy a cfg in the ns folder , rename it to autoexec.cfg and make it blank.

    then put stuff into it, i tired this thing and i cant see the tracers either !

    Yes, because apparently no one here knows how to create a txt file and rename it to autoexec.cfg

    I do not suggest setting 'tracerlength' to anything above 2. You'll start seeing tracers through thin walls, and the Phase Gate 'beams' will look weird (because they'll go completely through the ground).

    You might be interested in my post in <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=19&t=56535' target='_blank'>this thread</a>, for other tracer effects.

    in your mods directory, so in this case, in the folder named "ns"
    if it's not there, just make a new .cfg file yourself and name it autoexec.cfg
