Where can I buy/find Crossbow bolts

Wouldn't be possible to add them to the vendors then? :p

As long as nobody knows what the flares do this makes no sense. Maybe they are intended as flares for the helicopter?

About the M16/M4A1: I don't know a lot about modding this game so if you say that the only fixable thing is the name for me it's ok. :)

Okay, I'll change the name then.

Anyway I have to agree with Burning Fish, I really can't wait for your new patch! :D

I think with all these recent fixes a new version is justified very soon :)!

Hm, the helicopters do have these decoy flares though to "distract" incoming missiles.

Yes, you start off with 1000 of them so you'd have to shoot a lot, but you would run out.

Hm, then those must be different flares. Also there isn't a vehicle window like with The Precursors to use for installing something.

Update: About the M16/M4A1 issue. Just changing the name would mean changing a lot of items for a detail that most people won't even notice. Especially as the inventory icon clearly shows a M16 and the model could indeed be a M16A4. So I'll leave it like it is…

Well the photo clearly doesn't portray the ingame model, anyway ok I understand why it's not worth it. :)

UPDATE: I have a question, how I can obtain the files that rules the ingame mechanics like weapons behaviour etc? You are an experienced modder and since you succesfully edited some vendors parameters I presume that you know something about theese "config" files (probably xml format, right?), so could you teach me? :biggrin:

All these infos are in a single file called resource.qrc in common files and you can only edit that with a tool called _qre, which should be linked here somewhere. But I had to learn the hard way that even looking at the weapons settings with that tool causes them to disappear in the game, so I doubt that you can change their behaviour using it.

Ah yes I know where's that tool, I only wanted to know where is this file. :biggrin:
Anyway, in the thread of that tool it's written that the problem with the weapons is restricted with The Precursors… :-/
So it's better if I make a backup of that file before doing anything, right? :)

Ah, I forgot which forum I was in ;). This indeed a TP issue, most probably because they improved the engine but not the editor.

If you use my patch you can always take it from there :)!

Great! Thank you very much for the tips! :D

So now I will try to run that tool and see what I can do for the camera-screenshot "feature". :cool:

Ok I checked a lot of things using the resource editor, and I was actually able to see the weapons and their parameters, but I found nothing useful to make the camera captures a screenshot when taking a picture… :-/ Mostly becouse there's no real editable weapons code (the best would have been something like a camera.xml script to freely edit with a text editor like in other games) but just a very restrictive editor that uses only checkboxes and number-boxes… Also there's no reference to the scope mode of the camera, it seems like a special scope function that is not listed in the resource files (or at least I missed it) so I had nothing to check to see if a take-screenshot function could be added. I'm on a dead end about this, so any help or even little suggestion is always appreciated. :)
