the REAL flamethrower?

Post by RunningRiot »

With HMT, I wonder(I also TRIED to do this, but... well... you'll see) if it is possible to import all the Flamethrower meta data (that differs between Xbox and PC) into an Xbox map to get the Flamethrower to work for real. I figure, actor variant and weap tag are all that *really* needs to be injected.

Unfortunatly, ALL PC meta is slightly larger than Xbox meta. Anyone know why this is?

Also, in the PC version, there is a new type of damage called "Burning". The closest the Xbox has is "flaming death" which doesn't exist in PC.

I am going to attempt to manually import all the Flamethrower meta, when I get some time, but... we'll see how that turns out. *scoff*

This would be simple with Xbox map rebuild. *hint -- hint* *nudge -- nudge* *wink -- wink* :lol:

It's more complicated than that, I'm afraid... the metadata for the PC is very different from the metadata for the Xbox. A lot of stuff is in there that only "makes sense" to the platform it was designed for. You would need to do a lot more than just swap metadata to create a working replica...

no thats not why, its because it doesn't have any impact damage, only explosion damage, and the explosion only happens if your 20 feet away.... =/
