Hey,

as others pointed out:

http://www.ppmforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=39974

when using ares the map wide nuke flash of the NUKE special weapon does not appear by nature like in plain Yuris Revenge - did anyone figured out how to restore it?

Shouldn't this be mentioned in the documentation or is it a straight error?

Thank you, you helpful individuals. #evil

That was me; it's a known bug. When I worked on the super weapons, I accidentally made it work only with the new SWs. Thus, nukes triggered via map actions and NUKE warheads fired conventionally now don't get the flash any more. it's not supposed to be like that, but I never completed the fix for it because there was always something else to do.

Hey Alex

is there some workaround with an attach effect or do i just have to remake the old nukespecial (better than waiting for a fix right - because I love the effect and it is an essential aesthetical effect)?

PS:
I got some test sessions with testers in the coming days and I think it would be sad to not have the effect in it - nukes happen quite often in my mod of course towned down and balanced...

-thanks for the answer!

It's not possible to fix this through INI coding. If the warhead is not triggered from a super weapon launched projectile, the code that creates the flash is just skipped.
