Does anyone know the filename of the sprite used by half-life and sven-coop to draw tracers? I want to change how they look, but can't find a damn thing - it's sometimes difficult to tell what sprites are used for what because they are often warped or stretched ingame.

Thanks in advance.

Tracers in half life are not sprites, they are rendered. Here's my tracer settings for Natural Selection; it should work in other mods.

Code: Select all

traceroffset "0" // How accurate the tracer is compared to where your shots are actually landing. 0 gives the most accurate representation.
tracerlength "2" //Length of the tracer. If you make it really long, you can actually see tracers go through walls.
tracerred "1" //How much red is in the tracer - maximum value is 1, minimum is 0.
tracerblue "1" //See above
tracergreen "1" //See above
traceralpha "1" //Alpha/Opacity of the tracer
tracerspeed "3500" //How fast the tracer moves

Actually, you're wrong

I found out that sprites/dot.spr is used for tracers in normal Half-Life. Natural Selection probably uses a different system for rendering tracers.
