Did a quick investigation on the demonstrike:
1-demonstrike is referenced in CActor:Electrize(), demonstrike.lua and Idemon.citem
1.1-CActor:Electrize() is referenced through a commented line and demonstrike.lua via
if Game.GMode == GModes.SingleGame then
if obj and obj._died and obj.Electrize then
obj:Electrize()
end
end
-->demonstrike is SP only
1.2-Idemon.citem is in the "Pickableitems" directory and contains "o.Model = "skull" "
-->WTF?! A pickable skull-demon shooting electric bolts??

OMGWTFBBQ: you just found how to make a 1d stretch !
Somehow I think it has something to do with weapons never going through walls (see below) and "tpp 1" (third person perspective) console command showing only a big box.

For the flamer light look for self._fxFire= BindFX(self._Entity, "flamerfireitem",0.1 , "ROOT", -0.48 , 0.72 , -0.5 )
where:
-"flamerfireitem" is the name of the effect
-0.1 is the scale
-"ROOT" is the hardpoint to which the effect is bound
--0.48 , 0.72 , -0.5 is the offset from the hp
The big problem is that the offset is not in gun coordinates, so you have to tweak it when you change o.Pos
[sights] If only the n***s at farm51 had put hardpoints at the right place, both we and they wouldn't have to use various time-consuming hacks to put FX at the right place.

I banged my head badly on those when trying to setup the flamer fx for the left handed flamer. Most of those hp were flying about 2 meter in front of the gun, so when I put a flame there I can see it go through the walls. Ofc the gun itself never goes through wall, just its flame, great...

I'm going to investigate whether they wouldn't have messed up in the rotation/translation order.
** EDIT **
It's probably not translation/rotation but effect being in player OR camera coordinates insead of gun coordinates. Try putting:[WRONG THUS REMOVED] in utils.lua at line 905 instead of "PARTICLE.SetParentOffset(pfx,ox,oy,oz,joint,cox,c oy,coz,ax,ay,az)". I cannot confirm it works 'coz I got so angry at how they handle weapon/camera/player that I broke everything! ...now I can't turn the camera at all...
** END OF EDIT **

happy that way? (my only regret is that people won't notice the other thread anymore)
