Missing tracers

[claw 17]

Hi all,

 

After being away from SF2 for a while I'm back playing it again. And now I notice none of the internal guns (and gunpods) have tracers anymore. Memory fails me how to repair it. It bugs me, so any help is welcome.

 

Thanks.

stock or add on guns? 

stock guns use a stock tracer effect. If that isn't working, not sure what to say. Maybe toss the mods folder and rebuild a new one? (Salvaging, of course, anything you want to keep)

example below, stock 20mm cannon

After some 3 hours of trial-and-error (read: grasping at straws) I have given up and followed your advise. I am rebuilding my mod folder (and moved the old folder to an external drive as back up). I can't for the life of me find what is broken.

...and I have tracers again. For your information:  The culprit turned out to be a file called BULLETOBJECT.INI which was sitting in my objects folder. Not sure what it does but when I removed it I had my tracers back.
