Title: Explosion Help!
Post by: untouchable on October 06, 2002, 12:44:38 pm

I can't get my damn custom explosion to work in the game..... I converted it to ANI (works in AniView), its 256x256 size and the correct color depth, I added it to the effects folder and edited the Fireball.tbl and it still doesn't work......

Does anyone have any suggestions?

you can't add new explosions, you can just replace the existing ones. So save a few kbs, don't edit the tbl, rename the anis.

make sure you have explosions for the 4 or so required sizes. If you only have it at one size, it will only work within the range of that size in the game. For example, the size of the explosion when a destroyer explodes is a different ANI then when a fighter explodes, even though it looks the same, just smaller.
