Title: Praise: Explosions creating whiteout
Post by: dANGER boy on December 22, 2010, 12:23:40 pm

Not sure if this belongs in the SCP coding section or here in the Upgrade section, but just wanted to voice my praise for the feature in the latest 3.6.13 build that creates whiteouts of the screen based on the size of a cap ship explosion or the explosion of bomber warheads.  At first it was a little annoying becuase my screen was going white from shooting down so many bombs but it really grew on me.  Adds a great element to the game and really improves the atmosphere.

3 thumbs way way up!

It's a script IIRC, and yes it's really kool :yes:

That script is actually from the 3.6.12 MVPs, not a 3.6.13 build. It was created by Nighteyes, Wanderer and Fury (I believe?) for Blue Planet and then ported to the 3.6.12 MVPs for general use.

I don't recall seeing it when using 3.6.12 MVPs and 3.6.12 Final build, guess I'll have to go back and check it out.

I thinks it's too strong. Especially with WIH's swarm torpedos.

But i also dislike bloom in many cases.

I think it's perfect the way it is.  :)
