Flares

Description
Deployable flares for temporary illumination!
Considering there are over 50 usable guns and items in the base KF game (including DLC stuff and non-custom extras) and that only *4* of them have flashlights attached, flares ought to be useful in darker areas/maps. I know it's supposed to be a dark-and-gritty survival horror game, but these can add to the atmosphere as well.

If you haven't watched the video, then know that the flares last about two minutes (unless they're destroyed by Siren screams), can be thrown or dropped, and are both cheap and lightweight. They will *not* set ZEDs on fire, though, nor will flares cause impact damage if thrown directly at them. I forgot to mention in the video that when you run out of them, they don't occupy your inventory anymore (same as pipebombs running out), so you can free up some space.

26 Jan 2015 Note: It occasionally happened during playtesting that my game would crash to desktop with some form of out-of-memory error. If this happens to anyone else, please report it in the comments below. If you suspect why/what causes this, please comment as well. I assumed it was merely my laptop overheating everytime, but if it genuinely is a memory issue then there's bound to be others getting the same error.

EDIT: (v1.0 from v0.9) Two measly lines of code later and the flare models now appear properly online as well!
EDIT: (v1.1 from v1.0) Seems those two lines of code fixed the online models' appearance, but made the solo version disappear. Go figure.

@Boltte The flavor text for any weapon is usually in its pickup or inventory files, which tell the game what to display in the trader menu, in the corner of the screen when holding it, and in the middle of the screen when you pick them up off the ground.

..it looks like flavour text for a weapon called spas....but these are flares.......maybe it's called spas in a different language other than english?

If not, where's the flavour text for the flares then? Or maybe you've set it to auto translate to local language with original being in russian....
Barrage o' Fail  [author] 7 Jun, 2019 @ 7:08pm 
@Boltte That is correct- it also serves as a template for users in other languages, although how to get the game to read from it is beyond me.

Is that for a custom server? So that we won't need it for it to run? I can delete file?
Barrage o' Fail  [author] 3 Jun, 2019 @ 3:57pm 
@Boltte: Those are the lines of text for the in-game descriptions in GTrans'd Russian.

What's the Flares.rus for?

Contents are:
[DamTypeSpas]

FemaleSuicide="%o выстрелила в себя."

[Spas]

@Кошачий Депутат: You could either mute the sound in an audio editor and recompile it with that, or if you know coding you could disable the ambient sound it makes altogether.

Hi! Great idea to bring some light to KF :Speech_Love:. But how can I disable flare's sound?

Good job. I used them already and found them very useful for dark maps. But I have to wait till I can use them in my server.

@The_Scoutaloo: you realize you have to replace the [dot]s with an actual "."? Steam doesn't like normal URLs for some reason
