Question How to turn tracers back to their vanilla state?

I'm still playing AMK 1.4 and would like to know how restore the tracers back to their vanilla state, because in that mod they turned the tracers off. I was offered one solution, which was to go into the weapons.ltx file in the gamedata\config\weapons directory, and then change the value of time_step = 1 to 33. Unfortunately that measure had the unfortunate side effect of what appears to be "delayed bullets," where there's a noticeable delay when the bullets hit the ground when fired down. There's also the disturbing sign that when I shoot animals (aiming down, of course), the blood splatter appears instantly but there's also a bullet impact on the ground as well.

Is there another way to return the bullet tracers to vanilla without creating a delayed impact?

Go into gamedata/config/weapons/weapons and change tracers = off to tracers = on for the ammunition type you want.

I tried that before, but it didn't work.

Maybe try more vanilla settings or maybe increase the bullet speed? Just make a copy of the original amk file first.


air_resistance_k = 0.4;0.3
time_step = 33
min_bullet_speed = 3.0
tracer = on

compare vanilla weapon files with amk's and see the difference between the options that effect tracers
