Doh! Fossaman needs a debug again.

[Fossaman]

So, I've gone and done it again. Made a mod that I can't make work. Have at, happy modders, and make my ultimate weapon of doom function!

The error message I've been getting is 'unable to load weapon descriptor.' So, I've either got a blatantly obvious syntax error (other than the one I just found and fixed. ) or am doing something illegal.

Are you sure "d2" is legal?

EDIT: Nope, I missed it, "firerate" needs to be "fireRate"

[Fossaman]

Nope, that's not it. Also, Maneuverability was misspelled, but that wasn't what was causing the problem either.

[Yugi]

I think it's meant to be maneuver, not maneuverability. Not 100% sure.

[Fossaman]

PlayMeNow wins the prize! Removing the colon makes it work. Playtesting time!

Yugi, I checked the name for the attribute against another weapon that had it; it is maneuverability. Maneuver is for ship turning rates.

[Fossaman]

Okay, I've got a preliminary version of this working. I'd like to make some more changes to it, and there's something missing...but it's pretty cool as is. Have fun with it!

Nano Launcher

There's a player ship with that weapon and a reactor for it modded on, as well as a targeting rom so you can have even more fun with it. Just drop the XML and the two image files in your extensions folder.
