Alright, call it an early easter egg...

I've been talking about it and....

After having everything finally sorted out I can at last release yet the next weapon effects release featuring completely finished primary weapon effects!





This new build contains:
  • Complete Primary weapon effects (with impact effects and everything!)
  • 8 brand new shivan weapons with lots of variety
  • SCP-ified weapon behaviour
  • Bug-fixed tables (no more FRED warnings - yay :) )


Links:
Check out the full preview galleries on Milliways*
Download the Weapon effect release v0.5a with COMPLETED PRIMARY EFFECTS


* this is a must - i spent over an hour doing the bl**dy thing :D

I suggest these effect changes:

Prometheus S -> Morning Star
I wonder if these two were actually supposed to be switched in the first place, because the S looks a lot closer to the Morning Star and vice versa.

Morning Star -> Prometheus R
With a little more blue added in, this effect looks virtually identical to the S

Prometheus R -> Prometheus S
This looks right on the money...just for the Prometheus S


Edit: Beautification

Edit 2: After installing these effects, the Tempest no longer appears in the weapon loadout screen of the SP campaign...

No, I don't. :p Ignore all that, except for my 2nd edit. Well, the Prometheus R could still stand to be a little bluer, there really isn't much difference between the two...but then I've only tried the R in-game so far.

That's odd. I'll try it.

Try them in-game.

Given that they looked EXACTLY identical in FS2retail I think the difference is more than enough :)

Hmm, might have forgotten to include it in the zip. Shouldnt cause problems though.

I haven't changed anything with the beams... yet

Easy. Shivan names = dark/evil gods. Now I added the following naming system:

Light lasers: God names that start with "A"
Medium lasers: God names that start with "C"
Heavy lasers: God names that start with "P"
Special weapons: God names that start with "V"
Mega lasers: God names that start with "S"

That, and I thought Sutekh sounds nice :)

Sorry. I know its not quite modem-friendly, but I have plans to change some things to make them more modem friendly in the future. Might take some time though. Meanwhile get to the screenies following this link: Clicky - You can look at individual screenshots from there without having to load them all at once.

And c'mon - I know there could be more activity in this thread (how about some screenshots for example) :p
