Textures need detail, beam needs a lot of work.

-btw: any background compositions can be posted in my neb release thread. Thanks!

Now, what we really need is a higher poly hecate... ho hum.

I will returret it, if someone re-models it...:devil:

Honestly, I was thinking about returreting it anyway, like I did with the Orion.  Might redo that too.....

[TopAce]

A simple reskin. Why?

Why not?

All I can say to that is why not?

I've fixed the NBeam's table properties and will renew the zip soon. For now, gotta go to work tho. And I'll release the mission with the backgrounds as soon as i've finished it completely
(the mission, not the backgrounds )

LS - any suggestions on the details?

BW - beam edge? How do you change that o_O and what is this glowmap you speak of? I never made any O_o

Oh, and here's a pic showing off the NBeam firing from 3 different sources:

Hey, area suppression weapon!

Keep bombarding a jump node with that and no small ships will make it through alive.

Or big ships for that matter...you should have seen what that thing did first to the Molochs, then the Demon, then the Ravana, the Lucifer and then even more Molochs! (alas, the Titan didn't last through the second group - but not before taking out all 5!)

(note: this was WITHOUT fighters or bombers - i killed em all before they could take out the main beam array, which they did several times)

[Anaz]

Hehe. Beam shotgun.


I'm curious as to how you did this...swarm tag?

[Singh]

Not really. I actually suspect it may just be a bug.

I put the beam type as 1, set the time to 90 Seconds, lifetime to 7 and high speed (for range). Then this effect...just turned up when I tested it :shock:

The only flags I used were the normal one that came in with the mjonler's beams (I actually copied and pasted that entry before modifying it).

Somehow - every few seconds a new beam pops up as the first one goes through its slashing phase, and then another and another and another till you see what occurs on screen. The beams continue on despite there being no target (as seen on the pic), but eventually beams start disappearing one by one till they are all gone

We are the borg be prepared to be asimilated.

I can explain it.  Each beam fires for 90 seconds (ouch!).  And the firewait (how long the weapon waits till it can fire again) is set to 7 seconds.

So every 7 seconds it fires again, despite the fact that the weapon is already firing...

Weapon speed has no effect on beam range, the range is effected by the $WeaponRange: line.

Weapon speed DOES have an effect - at least, i think it does. Before, i kept the weaponrange to 10000, but it would still only attack when it was at 3km or below, which was basically my lifetime into the speed (1300x 2) but when I increased it, it started attacking at full range without problem.

And thanks for the explanation for the multiple beams

[Raptor]

Well, all my beams are set to the speed of light, and nothing changed...

Maybe it does, maybe not.

[Singh]

try setting the beam speed to around 1k or less, and the lifetime to 3 seconds, and you'll get the same effect

Edit: At least, maybe you will

I DO hope you know that I meant it to the very first picture. I do not know why you do not like a simple reskin of the original Hecate. It is not like a Vasudan Arcadia(Vasudan textures on Terran installation? ), it looks Terran even with this skin.

I do not find it ugly. But your version is much better.

However, I find the Shotgun-stlye beam a bit overkill, but that is only me, so consider I haven't said anything.

GTD Titan

Beam is fixed!

Nice work Singh
