Title: Debris?
Post by: aldo_14 on October 22, 2002, 08:02:30 am

Just a thought....would it be possible to randomly add multiple the 'particle spray' type things (the little efffect of sparks spraying from the hull) to ship debris?

also, what about (if not already done) increasing the amount of allowed SHIP debris chunks (I think it's 10 by default), and slowing down the motion for them more rapidly (so debris from destroyed largeships stays closer together, to make neater little fields)? (obv cutting out all motion would look wierd, and you need momentum from the explosion...methinks)

Oh, and allowing more types of debris models for the 'field' (so we can have plently of newly made, proper, varied debris that looks like it's from proper FS2 ships, and not the fairly odd stuff we have justnow)

(aaaggghh - Derbis! :shaking: )

Hmh, deformable hulls of sort... Like seen in the FS2 intro when Lucy fires her beam through Orion destroyer.

this isn't exactly relaited but I think I could get models that have deformed hulls that jitter when damaged, basicly repreduceing the effect of damaged robots in Descent 3.

Errr... what I got from his post was he wanted a shoer of sparks to spray out from a point on a debris. (at the moment they have that electric thing which ins't quite good but not bad.

Also he wanted big ship debris to say to gethere more by moving slowly...

Which are both great Ideas and I suport them fully...
If he meant what some one else said (unlikely) then above stands for me as a topic derailment

?

not really... although the idea is that you could have something decent looking if you had 1/2 debris pieces reskinned to look like a dreleict hull.  Not sure if that would work in FS2 well, tohugh.

The whole sparks thing is to make it look as if large bits are still partly on fire, or venting air/fire... ie. dying, not dead.

I would love to see a cross between FS2 and Starlancer where it comes to capship erupting......

Few propagating explosions
The 'chain' of explosions
The screen-filling white flash
The ship tears itself apart

Does that make sense?

I'd like to see the explosions that are like the ones 3D Max (the face ones). And debris mixed in.
