Description (last modified by Langbart)

Playing old releases like Alpha XXI Ulysses [18904], arrow projectiles used to be easier to see. They have lost a few pixels in thickness.

The change came with [20458] weap_arrow_front.dae & weap_arrow_back.dae.

    Arrows fired are almost invisible of how tiny they are, is there a way to make them just a very little bit bigger so that they can be seen without zooming in to the maximum

Increasing the size of some projectiles would be a good addition.

The goal of r20548 was to make everything look more realistic. The old arrows, while visible were not looking good.

In A24 arrows were also made a lot faster (to prevent dancing) which makes them harder to see. IIRC bb has a patch to restore them to normal speed. Sadly it reintroduces dancing and it removes the IMHO nicer trajectories.

Yes, I would make the current one just a little thicker.
