I don't know what this is, but I know I don't like it

WTH is this:



Those screens were taken on DCC's CTF server shortly before making this post. This is what happens whenever somebody shoots bullets (machine gun, sniper rifle, shotgun). Look at the frame-rate. As far as I can tell, I'm the only one who has this problem, and it only happens on some servers. I'm guessing it's a bad .pk3 or something. Any idea how to locate it? Or otherwise fix the problem? Looks like the bullet trail has been replaced by a particle effect of some kind.

I'm currently using the aug 16th build. This problem appeared before I started using it.

That indeed looks like a bad effectinfo.

If you're using a svn build or the beta, can you post the output of "which effectinfo.txt" in the console?

when I only saw the vid, I was directly thinking about [NFC]Master :p you'll see what I mean with this if you watch this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzJ78ZmY6e4 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onoSRbtweP8 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsFfWKnZOxk

[Mr. Bougo]

It's not like PB has been doing this for years already :p

[Ozomahtli]

not yet :p

have you made your clan tag by clones on a cheat server? if yes, I'm a faker :p

[Mr. Bougo]

What do you think!

We excel at clones.




Also, did you make your clan tag out of switches?

ahahaha this thread is amazing

[tZork]

extract effectsinfo.txt to data/scripts from your last valid release pk3 (data****.pk3) and it should override any nonsense from evil pk3's.

[Mr. Bougo]

Try the "which" trick before, so you can identify the faulty pk3

OMG this is awesome. Where are the configs for this?
