[http://sourceforge.net/p/ufoai/bugs/225 Item 225] imported from sourceforge.net tracker on 2013-01-28 18:15:21

as of rev 2359, the different rockets for the
rocketlauncher
and the grenades for the grenadelauncher use the same
picture,
which is confusing when managing items in inventory.

I createds some files to supplement the missing artwork:
* Rocketlauncher (Incendiary Rocket, Tachyon-Beam Rocket)
* and Grenadelauncher (Plasma Grenade Shells)

Also includes changes to weapons_human.ufo /
weapons_plasma.ufo / weapons_tachyon.ufo :
* rpg_ammo --> rpg_inc_ammo
* rpg_ammo --> rpg_tachyon_ammo
* grenl_clip --> grenl_plasma_clip

This has been done with simple copy/change color/patching
of the original files for High-Explosive Rocket
and Frag Grenade Shells, and already been tested in-game.

The tachyon rocket and the plasma shells are in-game in
revision 2419. Thank you!

A pity you didn't look at wiki TODO or at the patches
section of sf. You'd notice that the Incendiary Rocket is
already done, though not yet included. Since the model is so
different from High-Explosive Rocket, I think we also need a
very futuristic Tachyon-Beam Rocket model...

But the Plasma Shells might be good enough end stay forever,
if not for the fact that their colour is in contradiction
with the Grenade Launcher model (tops and bottoms of shells
are visible on the model). So, if you could change the
texture so that only the middle rectangle is blue, or only a
part of it, or some pattern or blue letter on the rectangle,
that would be very helpful.

As for now, instead of closing the bug report (BTW, why not
a patch?), I rename it to "The Plasma Shells do not match
Grenade Launcher model". Congratulations! You've just
contributed your first bug to UFO:AI. :)

So, HaJo, do you agree the shells do not match Grenade
Launcher model? Could you fix them (in whatever way you want)?

They work + look good enough for me.

Feel free to beautify them further,
if you think you are an artist...

> They work + look good enough for me.

As you wish. You could have been an author of a good UFO:AI
model that would stay in game, quite probably, forever.
Instead you are an author of an UFO:AI bug that will be
fixed ASAP, totally removing your work, I suppose. A pity.

Thank you for your encouragement. I prefered to give you a
chance first, since it was your good idea and since you
would obviously know how to do the additional color
patching, while I don't know, yet. I hope in time somebody
will correct the shells, so that Grenade Launcher loaded
with Plasma Shells does not misteriously change the color of
their tops and bottoms any longer.

There were some work on various ammos last few months. In the current trunk (r6117) every grenade launcher ammo has different colour as well rocket launcher ammo. I am closing this bug.
