Re: Weapons! We need YOUR help!
Can't you just make a mishmash of the mediavp weapon effects? Modify them enough to get them look like high quality FS1 weaps, just using the mediavp effects. If you edit enough, they won't look like the FS2 versions.

In other words- simply use mediavp effects. Would save time, and still look good.

that is one of the most anti-spirit-of-the-comunity posts I have ever seen.
be full of shame.

Hmm, i'd like to take the shield breaker and ML 16 effects, but if someone gets around to it before me that's fine

I did the flail. I honestly don't like it, but apparently galemp does, so that's done  :nod:

Re: Weapons! We need YOUR help!
We have some nice stuff here. We need more animated particle effects, and I still need missile models.

The Fury and Tsunami are apparently done, but not yet posted. The EMP is in progress but nobody's touched the cluster bomb yet.

Re: Weapons! We need YOUR help!
Looks wonderful! I particularly like the tail fins. I want to point out two things though:from the animations it looks like the middle is skinnier, then flares out at the front. I might be wrong, though, as it could simply be the shadow of the bomblets on the middle. Also, are those bomblets ovoid across their entire length? Or are they cylinders with rounded ends?

Re: Weapons! We need YOUR help!
Thanks! The middle of the model is slightly skinnier at the back but it's not very noticeable. I'm not too sure if this is what it is supposed to be like. The bomblets are just cylinders with rounded ends.

Re: Weapons! We need YOUR help!
Yeah, I always thought the middle narrowed just after the front, like this:

It does narrow out for just a little bit, then it flares out into a bulb.

Re: Weapons! We need YOUR help!
Better. Make the main body longer so the back of the bulb looks a bit short and more sudden like shown in the .ani files.

I'd say make the entire body as skinny as you have the back now, and leave the bulb its current width.

Re: Weapons! We need YOUR help!
The Disruptor and Tsunami are in-game and have tech models.




So where's that cluster bomb?

No, here is the Cluster Bomb.



Looks like it needs a new coat of paint, doesn't it?
