Grade A work Bob!

*drools

Are those animated or single frames?

[Bobboau]

I could have made animations, but they are just single frame, I can't have everything animayed and beams already have a bit of an animated effect so it isn't realy needed

[Raven2001]

THe new terran beams look super... now get them to media vps ^^

[Kaine]

looking hawt.

any chance of some vids of these in action (in-game, tearing some poor ship apart?)

[Mars]

God those beams look good *drools*

ROFLMAO!!!!!!

Your 6 years late!! In fact is shouldve been me firing it for ya ;P

But thx anyways

redsniper is correct that's an ironic beam... but the joke flopped

[Bobboau]

second try at vasudan beams, these ones turned out better, though not quite as good as the terran ones.

Me likes... looks like fire.

[Pnakotus]

Those Vasudan beams seem quite different in 'style' to the Terran ones: much more concentrated and less 'fluid' or 'wispy'.  Was this intentional? 

[Darklord42]

Amazing that looks great! cant wait to try it ingame

YES!
I think there should be a very noticeable difference in the general style for the weapons of each species, and there should be a visible difference between each different beam class other than it's size

here is a simple mod that puts these in game for the s/b green/vas

Woo!  The differences in beam style are very characterful.    Poor old Vasudans don't get stuck with recoloured Terran weapons anymore.

EDIT - I fail at beam tables, and can't get Bob's mod to work.  FSO complains about the last section of each beam definition - it doesn't seem to like the +length statement. 

[Mars]

You gonna do AAA too?

[Bobboau]

are you useing a recent build?
put a semicolen before those lines then

[Wanderer]

Beam tiling type 2? I thought only 0 and 1 were 'good' values

I tried remarking them all out, but it crashes afterward anyway (same if I OK through all the errors).  I'll try with Phreaks 02/03/07 build.

These aren't the same as the pack Bob just posted - I had an idea to stagger the various sections translation speeds to create the effect of a flowing stream of energy where the core moves a lot faster than the outside. It didn't come out as clearly as I'd hoped, but the overall effect still works and looks great.

They're awesome graphics Bob.



They look far better in game and moving BTW.

Using older values, but just a cool shot
And comparing with the effect in the media VPs.

If anyones interested in trying them out:

oh, yeah, forgot that wasn't in either, type 1 should be close enough

[Wanderer]

What does the new +Length: option do?

[Bobboau]

well... set's a beam section's length, but I though that's been in for a while, it's great if you want to have a beam that has some like a muzzle glow.
