Fun With Tracers

Burncycle

<div class="IPBDescription">Edit yours today!</div> In DoD you can edit the properties of the tracers coming out of machine guns. I tried with NS, and it works fine:

For better looking tracers, copy and paste this into your autoexec:

traceroffset 100
tracerlength 0.35
tracerred 1.2
tracerblue 1.0
tracergreen 1.0
traceralpha 0.45
tracerspeed 7100

Feel free to adjust the values if that still isn't a big enough improvement to tickle your fancy. The values are pretty much self explanatory- you can edit the length, color, speed, etc.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to catch a good screenshot, but I think you'll like it.

I modified my own a while ago to match with my Impact Rifle. I just applied these settings over the defaults.

tracerblue "0"
tracergreen "1"
tracerred "0"
tracerlength "0.25"
tracerspeed "3000"

Come on, everybody, show us your configs! <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I've seen HLDM servers where admins automatically change your tracer settings to make them green and travel at 1 inch a second... talk about lag-o-rific <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Can anyone give me the commands to make my tracers like big blue lasers that are about a millimeter away from each other. I love Gunstar Heroes

Phyco

can you post before and after ss of them along with which setting you used?

Paranoia2MB

Once again, I shall post up my autoexec for those people who don't have one.
tracerred 255
traceralpha .35
tracerlength 40
tracerspeed 2000
This will give you red tracers. You may occassionally see tracers go through walls from 1/2 way across the map lol.


Other things on my autoexec:
voice_loopback 1
gl_max_size "512"
developer 1
alias "ex_maxerrordistance" ""
alias "-crouch" ""
*no clue with the last things do, but enjoy*

FunkyFungus

alias "ex_maxerrordistance"

and this command is for <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo--> ?

Drfuzzy

fixes the old bug that use to spam OMG ERROR DISTANCE in your console a while back. Just makes it a empty command so it dont say it anymore really.

LoRD_Trifle

so does anyone think that they could post some before and after screenshots please?

Paranoia2MB

No, but not entirely.

It's kind of hard to take the screen shots 'cause they last for like a second and they travel quickly.

I'll try to do it later...actually..maybe now.

put the tracer speed to like 5... or 10, makes it REALLY easy to get SS of them...

will be the effect below.

Change tracerspeed to '6000', and you get your laser gun. Change tracerlength to '.25' and you get your plasma rifle. Red, green, and blue to taste.

Mmm sweet, looks really nice now <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Align

tracerlength 0.1 for somewhat more bullet-looking tracers.
Also, RGB values should be 1 - 0.2 - 0.2, for "hot iron"-ish color.

(this is nothing new)
