The alternatives to the above can be specified in building/scavenger odf's like

[FactoryClass]
BuildSparkConfig = "sparker_d"

[ScavengerHClass]
BuildSparkConfig = "sparker_d"

lol well my image is red laser beams, and im trying to get it so that smoke comes from a white 'hot spot' at the vehicle end of the beam, and a flame emits from the origin of the beam, maybe with some funkey sparks as usual

i sense a very 'public beta four released soon sense going on around here' mostly due to GSH' wanting to play with things i believe...

damn i hope it sees some serious improvement in the moddign style of things... to do with taps in particular.

File sizes are in bytes. Timestamps are newer than the release because I've occasionally done some revisions of old comments.
