I was looking at the Cutsceens of FS2 and saw that the shivan ships thruster glows, and threshers looked different than ingame dose anyone have a better looking one I could use? I can't make it for myself if I could I would of dune it a longtime ago.

What dose that mean? I whan't a better looking thresher, and thruster ani is that too mush to ask? Is there a mod already made that I could download?

[Anaz]

is this bad spelling/wrong word stuff all an act?

[Knight Templar]

I cringe to think anyone that tarded lives on my planet.

It's only some misspelled words guys

[Knight Templar]

Some = 9, and I'm not even touching on grammar.

Some also equals every post.

So what?  I hope he butchers the language some more just to piss you off.

There are a lot of talented people here who can answer your question about making the thruster glow that you are talking about, but most of them are already deep in a mutitude of projects and may not be able to take on any new projects..

But it never hurts to ask..

I'm not asking for much. Please, just act like you have a basic grasp of the language and I'll be happy.

All your awful English are belong to us.

don't pick on him for bad spelling, it means nothing, especaly seeing as about half the comunity only speack english as a second language (though most of them are better spellers than me)

I wouldn't pick on foreigners for bad spelling or grammer. Hell even Free Terran (who has improved a lot recently) never got picked on even though he was mostly unintelligable at the start.

This guy however is from the US! Now while he might just be very young or unable to spell correctly due to dyslexia or somesuch it's more likely that we've got another lazy american who can't be bothered (and I'm not being unfair, the people who spell like this on HLP are always American!)

Anyway while it's fair to have a go at the spelling unless there is a good reason for it that doesn't mean we shouldn't answer the question.

 As far as I know there aren't any easily downloadable glow or thruster mods. There was a topic on here a few weeks back by Free Terran involving some new glows though so you could try asking him for them (or how he did them).

You could probably do this yourself by extracting the original thrusterglow ani from the VP file, converting it into a series of jpeg's. Then mess about the jpegs in PSP with all the RGB, brightness, contrast, hue map etc.stuff, then compile them back together into an ani and save.

I wouldn't imagine it would take more than 20 minutes with the right tools. If you're after a whole new artwork for the glows then go ahead and ask.

Ah, the glows, not the flames. Yeah, thats even simpler. Should take less than 5 minutes if you just want to make it redder.

New? NEW?! I've been about since the VBB... I just chose to take a year-long break from FS...

[Black Wolf]

Bleh, so I have a crappy memory

[Martinus]

[color=66ff00]From what I remember Stargunner has attention deficit disorder, people gave him hassle about spelling when he first came here. He get's the general idea across so lets leave it at that.
BTW KT, show a little damn tolerance.

Sorry stargunner I've never done any work with FS ani files so I can't help you out.

I was a PSP user....FSW is a prime example of some PSP work...however, I'm now a Photoshop convert.  That and the fact that educational priced Adobe software is so much cheaper than retail

StarGunner, I think you probably can make it for yourself or at least have a really interesting time trying to learn how to do it.  I haven't got any time to play with the Shivan thruster glows but grab virtually any paint program and play around with a few settings and you can usually achieve some really cool looking stuff.

There is also a MOD on this page that replaces all of the thruster glows with different ones: http://www.3dap.com/hlp/freespace/mods/misc/

You may like those quite a bit more than FS2 standard.
