I have successfully integrated the Federation Pulse Phaser effect from 3.1.3 into my FOA2 mod based on 3.0.7. Now...what i want to do is scale the effects...the Pulse phaser is almost as big as the Defiant is...how can one scale the effects so that torpedos and such are correct...really the only thing im using is the Pulse Phaser/Disruptors because I like how my phasers and torpedos work LOL...but i hate the way the pulses are flat when in the strategic view...any suggestions?

Oh you just change its radius in its odf file specifically its ord file(filename ends with an o). It will look just like this...

radius = 2.0

...but i hate the way the pulses are flat when in the strategic view...any suggestions?

Engine limitation, I doubt even the FO team could do anything about it. Just gonna have to deal with it lol.

The new pulses are 3 dimensional

I am having a similar problem. My issue is that the radius for the federation quantum pulse is 0.

How do you scale something down that is radius 0?

radius = 0 ....i tried radius = -1 but it had no effect.

Try using a decimimal point. like - radius = 0.4

the new weapon effects use SODs rather then the autogenerated stuff of armada2. You will have to modify or create your own sod to change size or effects
