Thanks for the feedback.  But are you sure about this?
They both have 100 frames. And both last 6 seconds.


I think the old one was a bit too big.
Try blowing up some other ships

[DaBrain]

I think I'll reduce the framerate. It will look a bit stuttery in ANI view, but since FS2 tends to change the speed anyway (In most cases much faster than I want) it doesn't mattter.


But perhaps something else is wrong... The stock shockwave last only 3 seconds, but that just can't be true.

[Lightspeed]

Shockwaves completely ignore framerates and are based on $Shockwave speed.



And recolour it to blue - the last version you posted has QUITE a bit of visual problems. Plus it's brown and me doesnt like that for a shockwave

[DaBrain]

Even adding more Frames won't make it last longer, right?

I kinda knew that ...


Ok, ok I'll make it blue.

The brown-ish wave is Brights fault. Uhmm blame Bright
In-game is't not was bad as I imagined when I previewed it  in ANI View.

But I don't want to loose the smooth glow, which make capship explosions look cool.


I had absolutly no time for anything today...

Final Package

Release 1.0

Includes all previous effects, but now with LOD.
And the new blue shockwave, also LODed.

I've optimised some of the effects, in looks and size.


If you have any performance problems with the new shockwave, replace the shockwave01 with a copy from shockwave01_1.
Will reduce the quality a bit but will use ony 1/4 of the memory.



And thanks to Stealth, who gave me webspace, so I can release this.


I hope at least some parts of it will be used for the zPack.

[DaBrain]

Oh I almost forgot the super-important shot

[Lightspeed]

I'll give it a look.

[DaBrain]

Ok.


Uhm is nobody else interessted?

[Singh]

i dont have a PC atm to look at it, so to you

[übermetroid]

swooh is down...  I would DL it, but I cant...

[DaBrain]

Ah so that's it.

[übermetroid]

 I will download it as soon as I can though!  

[Gloriano]

I gonna check this

[Setekh]

Hey, 1.0! Nice one. I've gotta get a big news post up.

[MetalDestroyer]

I prefer the Yellow One, but, if there are any new version in the next week, try to set into the shockwave 3 differents colors .
Yellow for the extremis, blue for the middle section and for the center of the shockwave i think any color will be suitable (white, blue, yellow).

In all words, it's still impressive.

[DaBrain]

Sorry, it's not possible to use more than one color

It might work, if I cut out the lens effekt. But I think the 8-Bit color limit hardly leaves possibilities to do that.

[V] made a very cartoonish looking shockwave, probably because of the color limitation. (And they also used only on color...)


But I've kept all 24-Bit images, so I can create better ANIs as soon as FSO supports it.

I might release a yellow shockwave soon. Don't know yet.


@Setekh Thanks for the news

[Psychonaut]
