To what end? Those are normally not something you would see anyway due to size.

You would need to change the image used for each or see if there is a way to scale up the current graphic for them.

You could maybe switch the pie files for those projectiles to one that's bigger.

In the weapons.ini (warzone 3.2 or later) or weapons.txt (3.1 or earlier), change the flight graphic to one you can see more easily.

You can grab a copy of the files from the links above, then create a mod to make the changes.

Find your mods/autoload/ folder, and set up the following folder structure:

mods/autoload/bigProjectiles/multiplay/stats/

The put the weapons.txt or weapons.ini (depending on your version of warzone) in to the stats/ folder, and start making changes. You'll need to start a new game to test the changes.

For example, assuming you're on WZ 3.1 or earlier, you'll want the weapons.txt file and then look for the cannon lines -- there will be several of them, one for each type of cannon.

The light cannon line looks like this:

Code: Select all

Cannon1Mk1,Level All,75,375,1000,1,15,200,GNLCAN.PIE,TRLCAN.PIE,FXCan20m.PIE,FXcam20.PIE,FXGRDexl.PIE,FXGRDexl.PIE,FXSSplsh.PIE,0,640,960,70,55,30,2,0,0,35,64,100,18,0,0,0,10,100,1500,20,YES,KINETIC,CANNON,DIRECT,ALL ROUNDER,180,90,-90,YES,NO,100,0,YES,30,0,0,1,0
Note: You can find out what the weapon name is in the guide -- click on the weapon turret and on the weapon detail page you'll see it's ID in grey text above the weapon's stats table.

Anyway, the projectile graphic used for light cannon is FXcam20.PIE -- change that to some other projectile graphic that's more visible, eg. I'm pretty sure you'd be able to see FXMflare.PIE (mini rocket projectiles).
