open your user-mefy-extgametypes-1_2_2-STOCKMAPS+Teleporter-Mod1.0-FINAL.pk3
open the folder global -> libmef and edit ft.scr the following thing:
search for laser_thread local.player and change:

Code:

    local.beamalpha = 0

7zip will not let me save the changes. any ideas?

hold on, i think its working. i will get back to you, count on it.

Theres no need to edit any scripts.

Your setting the same cvar twice, the second will overwrite the first.

You need to combine them like this.

That never worked for me :/

do this:

Code:

set g_extgametype ft
set g_ft_settings meltgun: on melttime: 25

for me it work good. This is invisible laser when U melting.
About ur config u have twice same command, u must remove one and 2nd option drop to new config like ft.cfg!!! Dont forget remove ur settings:
What is name this config? (server.cfg or ft.cfg)?

i did what loeri said and it made scan and melt beams invisible, just what i wanted : D you da man loeri !!
i did have 2 problems,
1) in the ft.scr, there are 2 locations where you find the line "laser_thread local.player" one a little more that half way down and the one you want which is about 3/4 of the way down. the whole script reads like this:
laser_thread local.player:
local.tag = "eyes bone"
local.beamalpha = 0.7 //change 0.7 to 0 for invisible scan and melt beam
local.usedelay = 0.25
local.team = local.player.dmteam
local.bodytarget = "frozenbody_" + local.player.dmteam
local.lightrad = 50

and 2) it took literally an hour to get the change to save! pakscape, 7zip, notepad and at last winzip did the trick. i believe this is due to win7, but i don't know.

but i have read that script editing can cause problems so i ran through the rot and everything worked pertect!
UKC Pirate, i tried that and it didn't work for me either. again, win7??
green54321, i know my server cfg is messy, but i am afraid to remove ANYTHING now that it works like i want. lol

ps, i wonder what would happen if you change local.tag = "eye bone" to "pelvis bone" LOL
