Summary

0000255: Modded flamer "explodes" earlier

Description

If I mod the Flamer to make it shoot M79 bullets, like I do in my M79 Climb servers (I use flamers instead of M79s), the bullet "explodes" in the air (exactly where the flamer's flames end), but the shot continues its way (everybody else can see the shot going all the way, but you). This issue makes M79 Climb very hard to be played sometimes, specially in M79 Coop Climb (it's a modification I made to M79 Climb, where you have a partner and have to help each other).

At this point you might be asking "Why don't you use M79s instead? lol". Well, the answer is clear enough: When you are grabbing to a wall (it's veeery common, almost every map needs it) and shoot it with a M79, you go down. With a flamer, you go up (which is the point of grabbing a wall: not falling). Also, flamers are better-looking and make you look like a bad-ass. :D

I hope I made myself clear. Thanks!

Steps To Reproduce

1- Open weapons.ini
2- Find the [Flamer] section
3- Change Bulletstyle to 4 (Bulletstyle=4)
4- Open a soldatserver
5- Grab a flamer and shoot away
6- You will see the shot exploding, but it will actually continue. For instance, if you shoot exactly upwards, you will eventually feel the explosion on you, even though you won't see it.

Additional Information

Like I said, this may be due to the flames gfx (\soldat\sparks-gf\flames) limitation. The bullet seems to explode exactly where the usual flames stop.

I have noticed this bug ages ago (a couple years or so), but I always forgot to report it. I have remembered it now, so here it is! Thanks a lot, devs! =D
