Bombs = Blue

Explosions = Yellow

Isn't that..... logical?

MetalDestroyer · **Reply #104 on:** August 17, 2005, 12:09:31 pm

No, i have better, Explosion == Mix between Blue and Yellow/Orange :crazy:

The Yellow/Orange part is only for the border, and the blue one for the core.

What, green?

EtherShock · **Reply #106 on:** August 17, 2005, 12:14:44 pm

Jeez, look what I've started. Whatever, as long as it looks awesome, which it does.

Oh I know you all are. ^_^

I think most people don't have enough gfx ram for two of these effects. (The includes me.

)

I thought about adding a small, suble and simple shockwave for fighters though. Might look nice.

Stay tuned, I don't want to release anymore unfinished packs, so the next one has to be perfect.

ahhh, another perfectionist.

great to hear though!

I personally wouldn't mind if you released a high-end shockwave. My 6800gt could always use a lil exercise.

It's not GPU power that's the problem, it's GPU memory. All the FS2_open effects eat up tons. 128mb cards definitely can't take it, 256mb cards are starting to be used up and few people have 512mb cards.

Kazan · **Reply #113 on:** August 17, 2005, 03:04:22 pm

yeah... fs2 open = MEMORY HOG

and most of the artists aren't even ATTEMPTING to be memory efficient

It's not only the memory size, but also the memory bandwith. A Radeon 9600 or a Geforce FX 5600 will have problems with this effect, even if they have 256MB ram.

@Ulala A 6800 GT shouldn't have a slightest problem with even two of these effects.

Actually I don't know how to use an alternative shockwave though... It's no problem in the weapons.tbl. But I don't know how to change it in the ships.tbl.

I'm trying to figure it out now.

Hmm, are you talking about a spefic artist?

Maybe you are looking for this?

_______________________________
If you want to use the 3d pof shockwaves 02 and 03 then you'll have to not use "$Impact Explosion:" and instead use "$Shockwave Model:" (with .pof ext and after where the shockwave speed is specified). If you don't specify an impact explosion then none will be used. The default 20050103 build isn't going to work worth a crap with the 3d shockwaves though so it will have to be T-20050807 which has most of the 3d shockwave worked out.

Found it in the Babylon test thread.

Yeah, I found it right before you posted it... Oh, man.

I've created a new model for the fighter shockwave and found a way to fix the seam problem for sure.

This problem was driving me crazy, so I'm pretty happy right now.

Edit: Statisfaction found an early end:

Code: [Select]

Damn, I did it again. I broke the pharser.

Edit2: Works now.

I'm pretty impressed.

Does it include the Explo from TBP 3.2 ??
