Stupid Question

Another stupid question:

Do you know the use of the picture files Pictures/Effects/Damage_xx.bmp ?
I haven't seen any reference to them anywhere...

Thanks

Those are probably animation sprites for combats. Explosions, laserbeams, projectiles, etc.

Thanks but most of animation are set in some modding files. I could not find reference to these in any file.

The goal would be to have the damage_05.bmp used for the damage on one of my new weapon...

You want BitmapEffects_SpaceCombat.txt and BitmapEffects_GroundCombat.txt

That's where I looked and found explosion and weapon displays settings, but nothing about the damage_xx.bmp files.

I think they may not be used.

Or maybe you know something more ?

In all my prodding I have never seen a call for it. I suspect it was meant to be used in conjunction with weapons but was dropped for some reason. Then again the best people to ask would be one of the Beta testers.

Damage_05.bmp is the electro ball one, right?

It is not used in stock, but you are free to add more animations any time.
I was originally thinking of using that one for my lasers, but I made myself a better one:
