Ok, thanks

A litte code improvement would be cool.
Shockwave01 should be in the weapons_expl.tbl, like any other effect.

Random shockwaves could be interessting too.



I'm fixing the beamglows right now. Don't use them cause they're ... uhmm ... a bit blocky, although I think they don't have seams.

And now that I'll have to upload it again, I can add a little surprise too.

Oups, sorry dabrain, i got a mistake. Oups sorry. You're new shockwave is pretty good.
I was so tired...

[Psychonaut]

Hmm i don´t think so. The shockwave don´t seem to be defined in any of the table files. I havn´t found it yet.  The line, which says "if you have to play a shockwave animation then play shockwave01.ani" must be set somewhere else in the code. Perhaps it´s in the SCP.exe-Build and Bobb or WMCool know something about it?

Edit: awful awful english.

[Lightspeed]

Just look at your post count. Add two zeroes to the end, and your english should be significantly better

[Fury]

DaBrain, I think I received ICQ authorization request from you but ICQ decided to crash. You already seem to have mirrored the files though.

Here is a small video I made just recording the shockwaves.....

wmv though, sorry.  I will divix it later.  2.2 megs.

[übermetroid]

no takers?

[Getter Robo G]

3 HOURS and 58 minutes till I get it, rightnow 3 mins in and only 7kb

BTW I have a CABLE connection. Swooh strikes again!

I'll try tomorrow...

edit: It starded DL when I was typing this, took 5 mins then stalled, and then 2 mnutes later got it... WIERD

Nice vid though!

[Lightspeed]

install some decent engine trails

Oh, and the video has quite some framerate problems. Set the time compression to 1/4, that should fix the FPS problems.

Other than that, 'tis okay.

[Deepblue]

Nice vid.

LS you are always saying that.  Where could I get some good ones?

That's nothing. Once swooh stalled on me halfway through a download. Then when I resumed later it gave me, as Firefox told me, 7000kb/s download speed. I mean, what the crap?

Anyway, super nice effects DaB.

[übermetroid]

swooh  
Here is another one.  DIVX.
http://swooh.com/peon/ubermetroid/stuff/lucydown.avi

not much different, just a little longer under 6 megs, and in subspace.  

I am really just toying with this and I came to realize that if a mod wanted to they could make some videos for between missions really easily.  With out rendering or anything.  Just a thought.

Couple of (severe) problems with the release:

- You use DDS for effects. This is a BIG no-no, and looks absolutely horrible. use TGA or JPG for ANY effects which rely on smooth gradients. Even 8-bit PCX looks better than DDS for smooth gradients.

For everybody who is using this:

The included DDS files have exactly the same quality as my TGA orginals. I'm not using a DXT compression.


@ubermetroid downloadding now. (3.7kb/s)

[Lightspeed]

DaB is right, I was missing the fact he's using uncompressed DDS files.

Also keep in mind they will NOT save any memory compared to using TGA. They even waste some memory, as they include mipmaps.

ubermetroid: Here, for example

[shiv]

That's absolute record I think
Sorry for necrothreading that old thread.

Is there still any way to get those effect packs?

[Droid803]

Haven't these been integrated into the MVPs?
Or do they have awesome stuff that have since vanished?
