What is the secret to getting these to work??? I can not get mine to launch... filled it with 20 mixed fireworks, but it won't launch... Can anyone give me a hint?

I drag them up to a hotkey, then spam that hotkey until they finally fire.

I find that it must be night and sometimes I hafta kneel to get it to launch.

oh crap, you mean show packages work now? Man I know what I'll be doing tonight :g

It doesn't have to be night, you can launch them at anytime. I recently did a 1,000 firework display on Radiant Server using the show packages.

Fill your package with 20 fireworks. About the easiest is tossing it into an empty F key slot. For large shows I rotate to a full double set of open slots and start filling them.

I like to kneel down first. Then hit the F key with the package....as you get rolling you will see them start to launch and roll down the line of F keys.

They are suppose to be making it easier to load the packages..which will make this much more user friendly...try loading 1K fireworks......yuck!

actually i seem to have a problem launching them wheni am standing i think you have to make yourself kneel to use it (shrug) dunno but yes i love the fire works and that's how most of my friends find me when i'm ou hunting, they just look for the fireworks show going off lol.

lol - yeah, I know how loading up 1000 goes (just did it today [actually around 1200 today]). What a pain. I got to be pretty good at it though - made 20 different types of fireworks in the order I wanted them, then made the number of packages as each 1 volume thing of fireworks had. That way I didn't need to worry about the order and just went from top to bottom when loading them up. Still too forever though.

Why would you make so many fireworks?!?!

Sometimes it's fun to fire off a complex show in the middle of a crowded city and watch half the players go LD.

I just launched several hundred fireworks using the packages. The show was 10 minutes long and my PA had a great time. That many fireworks was actually fun to watch. The sky was full of explosions. I did several runs of fireworks in my factory, producing crates of 30 (7-8 qtty each) of each kind. I then spent a hour or two compiling them into the packages. I wish I knew of a macro that would do this automagically. Anyhow....huge fireworks shows are the way to go.

Cheers!

Anchors a great place to launch, a guy and i waitied a entire game day, he had crates of fireworks..pretty..bright..blinded..ahh type 10 fireworks are cool.

So to makefireworksshow packagesyou need to make individual fireworks and then drag them into the fireworks show package? Whenever I tired to launch them it says no events scheduled.
