I have a problem with getting a Alcyone to fire it's flak.
I have replaced the flak in place of the turret-arm weapons.
When In game it doesn't fire its flak weapons, why??

[jdjtcagle]

no one know??

[Taristin]

um... could it be that the turret type is wrong? Or that the flags are wrong on the flak?  It could be any number of things from how you described it.

[SadisticSid]

Did you do this in FRED or in the TBL?

[jdjtcagle]

on the TBL and it's the turrets with the GTVA Rapid Laser's on Inferno

[SadisticSid]

You probably spelt the weapon wrong, there's no reason why it shouldn't work. Try changing it back to rapid lasers and then see if it works when you alter the turret's weapon in FRED instead.

[jdjtcagle]

Nope Fred would tell me if I spelled it wrong and the GTVA Rapid laser isn't in my tables

Here's the table entry:

It's very odd, because the turretts don't even move in game.

[jdjtcagle]

C'mon does anybody have a clue??
It's my last little bug

[Taristin]

No idea, sorry.

[jdjtcagle]

Dang it!!
This freaking thing!!! (kicks the computer)
the alcyone just sits there wit no flak, I hate tables

[Bobboau]

run it through a debug build

[jdjtcagle]

Debug Build won't work at all on my system

[Bobboau]

define "won't work at all"

[jdjtcagle]

Whenever I get on it from the laucher it foes to a black screen and then shuts off

[jdjtcagle]

Can Flak fire on something like "turret01-arm

[Taristin]

The arm is just a child of the turret, it doesn't have any pof data...

Besides that, I'm not sure what you're asking.

[jdjtcagle]

you said that I might have the wrong turret type

[jdjtcagle]

Will someone please look at it and tell be what''s wrong

Er....
Try just putting one flak on each turret rather than two. No idea if that'll work, but try it. Erm, and make sure that it's actually in weapons.tbl - kinda helps . Beyod that, I can't see anything wrong with it...
