I tried to do some good hi-res explosions for the TVWP, but since all I have is PSP8, it isn't going very good.

So, I decided I'd ask and see if anybody could so some. I just need two or three ship explosions for ingame use. I'm SHOOTING for explosions at 512*512 pixels, but I'll probably end up resizing them to make them smaller because of performance issues; still I'd like to make a hi-res pack available as sort of an unofficial add-on for the TVWP (ironically you'll probably get it from the TVWP site;) )

If anybody knows where I can get some hi-res explosion .ani's, or would be willing to do some post here or PM me (no e-mails, I don't check it often enough ).

Cheers,

Post them here, I want some too!

Perhaps I don't know it well, but isn't any effect like planet, nebula, etc. MUST be 128x128, 256 color PCX?

[Black Wolf]

256 colour PCX is right, but it can be any res you want. Most of the V effects are 256x256 IIRC, and things can go much higher. It's only the squad logos and pilot images that have to be 128x128

Just for my own amusement I made a planet at 2048*2048 pixels last night. Loads fine in FRED, but I haven't had a chance to do an in-game test.

[Taristin]

Oh they work... Psycho made a black hole nebula that was like 500x1200 and it works in game... Really pretty too...

[Solatar]

So, anybody want to do explosions, or at least show me how to do them?

[miniDwarf]

you could try ott's explosions since its now dead, they looked cool and venom might still want to share:nervous:

Perhaps, but I thought you only had room for one new explosion animation in the weapons_expl.tbl?

Just a matter of naming the files the same way as the original FS2 explosions. Or ask the SCP team to up the explosion limit to 15 or something.

I like Darkage's idea.

I did post a request for it a while ago, but I forgot what thread it was in, so I never found out the answer
