ok i cannot for the life of me find a single OP/thread/topic on this forum but i know its exact contents.
Basically it was about throwing penetration or just general missile penetration and instead of arrows for example just sticking out of you from their "arrow head" they would go half way into you and look like it actually penetrated you(no homo).
The person who made this OP/thread/topic also had a video on it showing off the throwing lance as he threw it at a horse and half of the throwing lance went into the horse instead of what we are seeing today being just the throwing lance tip sticking out of the horse.
Pictures i just taken myself on a single player mod and cRPG describing what im talking about:
cRPG Atm (notice the lance just sticking out by the tip after thrown full force into the body)
What im looking to find how to do. on my own by coding some files im guessing, i found this on a mod. (throwing lance goes straight through and gets stuck half way after thrown full force into the body)
If anyone could give me some help on how i can do this myself to make this happen say on my native module by doing it on my own please tell me :) there has to be someone that knows!
Thanks in advance!

Solution.
open "item_kinds1" file in the module folder
Locate all ranged ammo by pressing "Ctrl+F" and typing ranged ammo names, Example: "itm_javelins"
the line that will come up for "javelins" is this
itm_javelin Javelins Javelins 2 javelin 0 javelins_quiver_new 3458764513820540928 541130762 36507484160 300 4398046781448 4.000000 100 0 0 0 1 0 91 25 75 5 290 0

This goes for all the ranged items. its that simple, just don't change the melee script of the ammo item and you won't screw up the melee mode of it.
The weapon length number like the number 75 on the javelins code above, for all the other ranged ammo items like throwing spears and arrows etc the weapon length number is located at the same place, being the fourth number from the end of the line, number to the right of it is the max ammo, changing this will differ from how many arrows or throwing equipment you carry in one slot.
hope i could help.
and also if someone important can move this thread to suggestions now because its turned into a suggestion thread instead of a help thread, thanks :)
Voted yes, though it was a hard toss up between that and give them run :P
Sound cool man, good luck
i wish i knew, good idea. perhaps not completely impale :lol: but yeah, more penetration animation/gfx wise would be cool. the way its animated/look now is odd, not realistic... physics! btw penetrating a fucking horse? like all the way through? :lol: i think you have seen too many movies mate :lol:
