For now, its just for looks. I'll work on making things actually light up.

If there was a Post Your Dream Modder thread, you, Mirathei, would be my number one pick!

 

[Havoc134]

You should really work on M&B 2, i mean seriously, chariots, elephant archers, catapults, ship combat, flaming arrows, your achievments in M&B modding are pretty damn impressive.

 

[The Mercenary]

Good job. Too bad I don't have the source files for the mods I play.

 

[cremo]

lol men
i wish you were in m&b crew!! great job as always!

 

[ImNotaAI]

ur a miracle worker

 

[atolest]

i like it very much!

 

[Sir Timothi]

Here's a question, do all the arrows end up being lit on fire after you add this? I'm just wondering which bows/arrows are affected before I add this to my game.


Edit: Wait, are the fire arrows an item you buy at vendors?

It is a type of bow that you buy at vendors.

 

[fisheye]

Given that different projectiles have different air speeds, it is probably impossible to create accurate flame trails for all arrows.

Very pretty though! A whole army of archers with fire arrows would look awesome if you have the machine for it.

Wow Wow, Slow down there. What's this about Chariots and Elephants? Tell me, Please!

Version 1.96 of Hegemony 268 BC has elephants with riders. Although the animations are messed up for the .960 version you can play the .903 version relatively bug-free. Chariots are being saved for Version 1.0 of M&B because I think there were some bugs with them in earlier tests. But I'll let Mirathei tell you what happened himself.

 

[Bismarck]

Formations, shield bash and now fire arrows.
You are great, Mirathei!

 

[Mirathei]

Looks like you've got some offset difficulties.

Iirc, you first looked at this thread right after I posted it (I saw a post I think you later deleted) which was before I realized that a Calradian second was a different measurement from its Earthly counterpart and that Calradian gravity is notably weaker than that on earth. 

Most of that is fixed (not perfect, but looks good enough) in the version now posted above.

 

[Kazzan]

Where do i put the first code in mission templates?

 

[Zendarian]

Any chance of a crouching kit and a denock arrow kit?

 

[atolest]

what's denock arrow??

 

[Dryvus]

De-nock. Opposite of nocking.

 

[Havoc134]

And if you dont know anything about bows, that means taking the arrow off of the string.

 

[Salvar]

can you tell us where they would be located?
