Tracer Effects

[AnimalMother92 10]

Yeh sure if you unpbo the .pbo and open the config.cpp

Im ok with any config editing and releasing custom configs. :)

Going off this I changed the A10 tracers from Yellow to Red and the M249 from Orange to Red as well. I thought it looked more visually appealing.

Here is the repacked pbo if anyone prefers those colors.

I think they look better in that video being all white... how can i make them all white like in the video? bit like star wars at night with many green and red laser beams flying around. :)

Oh that sucks! Well, they'll be getting a great soldier no doubt, but stinks for us!

I have a Question. How do you change the colors like to blue. I wanted one tracer blue and somone said go in the config so I did and did what he said and it didnt work.

Is this possible? It would be cool to look at. I believe some WWII aircraft cannon tracers were blue.

Hi all) I have a little bit strange question :j: How to correctly add the tracer for AA12 (HE) :confused:

I added this:

class 20Rnd_12mm_AA12 : CA_Magazine

tracersEvery = 1;

class B_12mm_HE : BulletBase

model = "TracersWAR\Data\bullettracer\tracer_red_big";

tracerScale = 0.9;

tracerStartTime = 0;

tracerEndTime = 4;

but no tracers :o added to this system, other weapons and ammunition and everything is working correctly! AA12 (HE) No!(( who knows! correct my text for the tracers! PLZ!

this is rather old, you might want to see OpticalSnare's Blastcore thread.

Nope, it was just updated.

Check: Armaholic

you do realise the last post was months old right?

[NomadRomeo 10]

I wonder why this was on the armaholic main page.

hey guys, only the last three bullets work. I removed all mods and does not work,

Leaving only @tracers and @cba. Can anyone help me?

You mean the last three rounds in a given magazine are tracers? I'm pretty sure that's intentional, at least in a standard rifle, such as an M16. Try firing something like a PKM or SAW, and you should see a tracer fired as every other round, or so.

If I'm not mistaken, that's pretty standard practice in real life, though I can't really recall why.

Yanno, I had a feeling it was that, but I didn't want to make any assumptions. Certainly makes sense! Thanks for the clarification.

Every 5th round on a standard US machine gun belt is a tracer

I'm having a small issue. With my HDR on "standard", my tracers look like little Purina logos. (Google it) If I turn it off, they're fine. In the description, I believe it said to put in on "standard", though
