Hey this seems to be the only place i can access at the mo something weird going on with the site ?????
Anyway my question is about the flamethrower that zulux and enxile did for bloodgulch.
The mod works fine on splitscreen but when me and my mates did system link as soon as anyone took damage from the flamethrower the game crashed and i got the your xbox has gone out of synk message its definatly the damage causing the problem as it runs fine if you flame scenery or vehicals only crashes when you flame each other?????
ive imported some of the stuff into damnation and its the same problem there too.

Hmm. Maybe it's cause the Xbox versions are different...

Thats what i was thinking but it works fine if noone takes any damage from it otherwise the rest of the level works just fine.
Ive now done 6 toxic waste based weapons for the Labyrinth and its utterly soul destroying that it refuses to work on systemlink. Ive tried several different xboxs and no joy.
Thanks for your time.

Yeah same thing happened to me...I think it's simply that the way that flamethrower sets things on fire is local and not transferred over the netcode. So the xbox with the guy with the flamethrower is saying "okay, this guy is on fire and taking damage" while the other xboxes see no source that damage would be coming from.

Yah your not the only one i mean if we are importing this stuff and fixing it to work with other levels and posting ideas as to why then you would think we would have the basic idea of portin the same file to both xboxs.
As far as ive found its the damage tag causing the problem ive tryed swappin it for other tags but it does the same thing each time?????
Of i null out the damage it works but its a little pointless to have a non damaging flamethrower.
Thanks for your time
