Title: Why is my turret firing blanks?
Post by: AquaByrd on December 22, 2008, 07:21:10 am
Does anyone know why the circled stationary gun fires blanks when I try to play Field Marshal's World War Two The Complete Saga mod? It does, on the other hand, fire normally when I play with the default weapons.

It seems to have fixed itself. Thanks to everyone who helped me.

Oh, probly either because it is firing "fists," which don't have bullet graphics, or something like that.  It has to do with the "bullet style" in the weapons.ini for the turret.  In other words: it's not firing blanks, you just can't see the bullets.

Ok, thanks.

EDIT: I looked at the weapons.ini for the turrets in the mod settings and they're both firing the M2 Bullet (Bullet Style = 14).

Check if the file Soldat/Weapons-gfx/bullet.bmp is blank (green).

Though I really doubt if FMBM would include blank gfx.

No, both the bullet.bmp M1919A4 Browning and the bullet.bmp for the Maschinengewehr 42 have bullets in them so to speak.

Is there a bullet.png file present in the mod weapons folder [soldat/mods/[tcs]/weapons-gfx] and if so, is that blank?

Huh, I've just realized I also have that mod... vOv I guess I just never used turrets with it.

The Maschinengewehr 42 "doesn't" shoot anything either, right?

There is a bullet.bmp 'has a bullet in' which 'file in that folder, but not a .png.

Hang on, let me check.

EDIT: They both seem to be firing 'live rounds' now, wierd eh? Thanks anyways guys.
