Well, I finally got my map working and my unit in-game. Overall it's pretty bad, but for me that's an improvement. Anyway, the (new) problem that I have is that the game keeps freezing up temporarily. It's almost like lag. I've done some experimentation and it seems that it mostly happens when my reticule is somewhat aimed at the sky. I've added the following lines to the lua file after reading BFront2.log

No offense, but you didn't notice it until I did...
That might be due to an effect. Make sure that your odfs can find all the effects they need, and that your .fx files have all the TGA files they need (they open with notepad)

Yep, everything's there.

Yes, I changed one of those weapons to a very long range. I'll try halving it and see if the problem continues.
*EDIT* Ok, I've halved the range several times over, even to the point that the range was an eighth of its original value. No change. I also tried changing it so that there was only one one-shot salvo. Still nothing. Of course, all of this was changed in the main weapon ODF file. I haven't tried changing anything in the ordnance file. Should I change it so that the max range in the main ODF file is the same (Velocity)*(Lifespan) in the ordnance file? Or is there something else I need to do?
Alright, I finally solved this by reducing the Lifespan in the Ordnance ODF. I still can't use too many shots per salvo, but the weapon's working without lag. Thanks for the help.
