NICE :dizzy2:
Two questions; First, does it replace the fiery arrows? and How do I do it myself?????
No. I created a new javelin projectile.Quote:

I cloned this to make a new javelin2 projectile, and I changed the cas model to make it heavier, but without the shape of a pilum.
Then I cloned the flaming_arrow entry but renamed it as flamin_javelin2. Depending on the size of the projectile model, you must play with the effect_offset value to adjust the position of the flames.
Finally, you must include the reference to javelin2 in export_descr_unit.txt, for the units you want to use this weapon.
And that's all.:2thumbsup:
If you changed the accuracy against units to 1 would that mean that if 20 velites attacked 20 hastati for example then the Hastati would be dead in one throw?
nope, this accuracy (in descr_projectile_new) works more or less in against nature, meaning 1.0 is very inaccurate and 0.01 is (possibly!)pretty accurate (its somewhat trial and error what works best for your needs)

you don't want to share your CAS model, don't you ? :clown:
( I haven't installed yet/ can't install the CAS exporter )
Is a new CAS model really required ? :help:
It is not required, if you want that the javelin "flying in flames" is the same as the original one. Or you can copy the model of pilum, if you want to use "flaming pila".Quote:

So it's just a question of copying the javelin- part, using the same .cas model, and add something to the javelin, so it will become flamin'

something like this ?:help:
@Marcus Furius Camillus
You must copy the javelin entry and rename javelin2. If not, the flaming javelin2 is referring to a projectile that doesn't exist.
I forgot another detail.
This line in the normal model:
indicates that the 3d model is in the wrong way. If you put simplyCode:display aimed invert_model_z
you will see the the javelins flying with the point towards the javeliner.Code:display aimed
The simplest solution would be to use this line in the flaming javelin:
but in fact I haven't used it.Code:display aimed invert_model_z particle_trail
I changed the orientation of the 3d model, and eliminated the invert_model_z option from the non-flaming projectile.
