No need for dat since im on linux and i dont use the launcher

How would I go about changing the beam hit effect? I've been scrolling through all the table files I know but couldn't find anything in the beam-related entries. Am I missing something or is it beyond modifying an existing entry?

Try $Impact Explosion:

How do you use it with beams? The beam entries in for example mv_effects-wep.tbm don't have it by default, and just simply adding it (I'm going for ParticleSmoke01) to each beam gives errors, and isn't recognized. All fighter weapons seem to be straightforward with this but the beams still confuse me...

I believe the Blue Planet 3.6.12 Feature Pack contains weapon tables with beam piercing effects.

Try it out.

EDIT: oh whoops, you're talking about simple beamhit effects. While I'm not sure how those work, I also believe that said feature pack contains some of those. So, uh, maybe try it out anyway?

What errors?

[Slime]

Nevermind,  got them to work. Sorry about forgetting to post the errors, fortunately I've seen the same ones enough to recognize that the problem was with the way I edited the entries. The new line needed a line of space from the old ones to avoid getting mixed up with them. Getting rusty with my table editing...

The irony? The orignal effect fits better IMO   ... Sweet effect pack by the way!

[Nighteyes]

I'd suggest you try explo3(get it from Blue Planet) as beam hit effect, I find it very fitting all those sparks shooting up

Could you make a fiery orange version of that 2D shockwave? I've been looking everywhere for a 2D orange shockwave that actually looks good in all light conditions and this would be just the ticket.

[Nighteyes]

why would a shockwave be orange? I don't know, if demand will be high I'll recolor this shockwave and post an orange one as well... I'm pretty busy with RL atm

*Battuta, if you have time you can pack the new explosions I made for BP2 and post them for everyone to use(exp04, exp05, exp06)

[Woolie Wool]

Well, why would a shockwave be a glowing, visible ring at all? It wouldn't be any more or less unrealistic if it were sparkly pink. It's not like FreeSpace doesn't have other phenomena that make no sense other than looking cool (visible lasers, apparently faster-than-light supernovas, etc.) and a big glowy blue death ring is already nonsense from a scientific viewpoint. I just prefer big blowy orange death rings.
