Archers with lasers! Whatever will come of this. Very nice.

[Hostile]

Yeah, I think it's great when someone decides to change things up. That's what it's all about. The lasers need work but they do look like lasers....

[{IP}Gil-Galad]

yeah im going to shorten them and make them 1 more wide (right now 3) and there 30 lon ill make em 20

[ambershee]

Personally, I think they're quite ugly as it stands (well, probably not so bad when the're moving, lol).
Definitely needs work, but the basis is there

[{IP}Gil-Galad]

thanx im working on the laser look now

[Dain Ironfoot]

Look like perfect blaster bolts to me... blue one could do with a brighter core... can't see the problem myself.. look like they do in the movie...

[Ugbluz]

They look ok, but i think you will find that laser bolts are more white in the core, try using 'moving lightsabers' and they dont usually dont have such long trails, they are very definate. Ive got a pic i will show you

Thers the link

You can see they are very definate and that they have no trials and a white core

i cant take away the lil trails but i can add a core

[ambershee]

Actually, I think, looking at it, the visual effect will probably improve if you scale them down a lot to the sort of size they should be. Don't make 'em larger, make smaller and to scale, and it might look nicer

how the frig do you change the arrows to lasers,i know a lot about moding but could someone tell me how to?

Common misconception. As anyone who does Star Wars FX will tell you, blaster bolt cores are a brighter version of the glow colour.

Adjust the goodarrow.tga file. Simple really...

[ironmonkaa]

where are the tga files?

[Mullers_11]

Where you found your first INI.big, its in the textures.big file

[ironmonkaa]

all i can find is garrow.dds is that it,and if it is how did you get them all different?

[Hostile]

I'm not totally sure on the exact name, you have to check the ini reference for it to be exact.

[ironmonkaa]

ok ill try that,but how did you get different colours on the arrows

[MTB]

shorten them sounds good to me.. id unno if you need to make them wider, but one thing i deffinitly think needs to be done is take off that fading off the back of the lazer, if i remember right arent they just tube with rounded corners?

[Hostile]

It's actually a simple TGA file, just make a red streak or something with some highlights.
