We worship Lightspeed's shadow?

Mind you, I still think that StratComm has a point though - don't forget to leave room for those big impact weapons like the Maxim too, should you end up doing impact effects for it.

Christ, I love it... keep it up! (That said, bear in mind that the Prometheus, Maxim and Kayser at least are much more powerful in the energy department than the Subach etc... you don't want to smother the ship in splash effects )

I've found out why I couldn't see the fade.  It didn't work in RT's pcx-fixed build.  It's back to 12_20 for me.

That being said.  Are the impact splashes supposed to trail off from the fighter you hit?  I've noticed that if you hit a fast moving fighter, the impact appears but doesn't disappear until it's behind the fighter.  While I think this is a really cool effect, I'm wondering if it's what you intended.

And the splashes aren't really that big in-game.  I think they look great.

The only thing now is that I find myself not wanting to use any weapon other than the Subach and Acheton XD

[Lightspeed]

That trail off thingy is not intended, but theres nothing I can do about it. I'd need a flag enabling the impact effect to follow the ship.

[Bobboau]

I think it's better if it trails behind, the effect is energy dispersed, not something the ship is doing.

Back in FS1 days on the Lucifer...now its called a Beam weapon.

[Starks]

Is that the weapon the Lucifer used to ravage Vasuda Prime?

[StratComm]

More specifically, it's the no-missile-with-tail that the Lucifer uses to destroy the Galatea.  It's ugly, it's slow, but it's FS1.  Why it is still in tables is beyond me.

Bloody Marvolous.

Great work again Lightspeed.

btw - what version of anibuilder are you using? and do you still need to have the entire colour pallet used throughout the ani embedded in the first frame?

A link to any new tools you may be using would be appreciated also...

Thanks, and Keep up the Great work

Erm.  Just one strange thing (I want to see if this happens with other people).  I've started a new pilot and a new retail FS2 campaign.  I'm at the part where I get to fly the Perseus.  But I can't choose ANY of the secondary weapons.  Even the default weapons are in white and all the possible choices are also invalid.  I've played a few more missions using just the defaults and it's still like that.  I've also tried overwriting the tbls with a fresh copy from Lightspeed's zip.

Has anyone else encountered this problem or should I just delete the data directory and start over?

[Lightspeed]

someone has been having the problem. It's probably me who broke something. I promised to have a look but it kinda slipped off my mind.

Thanks for reminding me, i'll work something out tomorrow.
