Description
Signal Flares to brighten your skies, and find your lost friends... or foes.

Mod Features:
  • Flare HandGun - Character weapon - shoots 26.5mm flares.
  • Flare Smallgrid Gun - shoots 37mm flares.
  • Gun and Ammo buildable in survival.
  • Shots does not damage grid, but do damage players slightly. (note: actual physical projectile not always align with visual effect)
  • 4 Flare colours available: Red, Green, Blue, White.
  • 26.5mm Flare:
    • Distance: 200m
    • Burn Time: 2min
    • Light Radius: 300m
    • Visibility: 7.5km
  • 37mm Flare:
    • Distance: 350m
    • Burn Time: 3.5min
    • Light Radius: 525m
    • Visibility: 12.5km
  • Flares are only modified muzzle effect, they will not save, wont be visible for players coming from more than effect render range, nor collide with environment.
  • Even though i literally copied vanilla gun, and did my best to fix animations, there is still some wonkiness with SE. I suggest using RMB aim to shoot, outherwise flares may go slightly sideways.
  • Models are still plceholders.

Planned features:
  • Large grid flare launchers
  • Smoke flares
  • GPS Markers
  • Physical interactions
  • Proper models

Huge thanks to Chipstix213 for modelling handgun and fixing bug that could cause conflicts. It should now work with any weapon mods if you had any issues before.

As I am still new to modding any feedback is greatly appreciated, especially if i made some stupid mistake resulting in error.

kinda wish there were more colors

Kinda hoping the fixed block versions get fixed one day, or even reworked to be smaller since they use the gatling model.

I love this, and I hope you can find a way to overcome some of the limitations. It'd be awesome if there was away to switch the flare color without needing another gun, but I'll take what I can get. :selike:

This mod is so cool! Works fine for me it seems, and that is with 400+ mods going! (Including Weaponcore)

I know procrastination very well :D so that's ok. I will just publish it without flares ;)

once i finish procrastinating probably... Most likely i will have to redo significant portion of the mod, as i don't believe Keen fixes particle generation to previous state. And i don't feel especially happy about that.
Also fixed gun is using gatling model as a placeholder... im yet to get around modelling it.
I just wish i had as much free time to do as i had as a kid... sigh.

Hello, when we can await fix? I am working on MBT and this seems nice. now gun looks like gatling gun. projectile itself fly in the air and emited light is on different place :D

the fixed guns on mobile grids are broken at the moment, they behave more like a laser pointer at the moment. Handguns are still fine.

So is mod working with new weapon system?
