anyway, it quite easy to make beams in PSP, just make a gradient fill, and put it horizontally across the image.

Maybe it's MS PhotoDraw. I'll experiment and give you a few results. Don't know about the 'muzzle flashes', though. They're weird and very nice.

As a guess, and to get back on topic, I'd say render some clouds with a certain color tinge, stretch them out, and use that as beam textures. :D

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Try the Aurora weapons pack.  I forget were I got it from, but the beam changes colour while its firing, nifty.;)

This may seem ignorant to the source code changes, but is there any way to make the beam PCX's tile? I have made a rather nice rainbow beam using Photodraw and Paint's pixel editing (to create black patches in the beam), but it is all stretched out along the beam length and it looks terrible.

Also, I think I know where that muzzle flash came from. It looks like a certain wall hit in Descent 3. I'll try again to make a nice beam.

Indeed there is.  You can also have the textures move along the beam.  When version 3.4 comes out in the next few days, download it.  To make a beam with tiling, read this.  It works marvellously.  Try my Shivan Super Laser Beam for an example.

AHHHH.....those beams look real yummy...so now, I've missed a lot since my absence, huh? Can you tell me how to get those beams done? How to mess around with different types of beams? Those beams are crazy (I'm talking about the one hitting the Aeolus BTW). IMHO Those are the greatest beams ever placed in FS2.
