So I was sick of firing little yellow blobs, so I got bored and wrote a small modular table and tinkered for about a half hour with it. I replaced the default FS1 effects with effects from the mediavps. If you use the mediavps along with the port and hate little colored blobs, this should help with that, it ain't much, but what the hell.

I was waiting for this!

Ahhh, yes, another file for Hades Combine's archives.

I'm not sure what you mean by "little yellow blobs." Are you talking about the Avenger or something?

I dunno, I kind of liked the Avenger look.

What else does this change?

[Mars]

Other than how lasers look, nothin, they do the same damage and have the same qualities.

The Prometheus looks like the Prometheus R, the ML-16 looks like an HL-7 only blue, the Banshee looks... like a Banshee, the S-Breaker looks like the Circe, and the Leech looks like the Lamprey, and the disruptors look kinda Athekton SDGish, but not.

I'm not sure I like the idea of changing the FS1 weapons to look like FS2 ones.  I'd much rather adding things like particle trails, more diverse impact explosions and stuff like that.  I too altered my tables to borrow these from the Media VPs, but I didn't use a modular table unfortunately.  I extracted and edited.

[neoterran]

Hmm, I think i do like these changes to the weapons, although I didn't think I would. Although it really changes the feel of the port, it does make it more consistent to FS2. Although I think you should make the HL-16 white instead of blue, so it looks more distinct from the subach.

Honestly conversion from full to modular tables isn't very hard, you might be able to do that if the changes weren't too far reaching

I'll try it and see

I'll take that if you'll PM it to me.

[Mars]

Or you could put it on Hades Combine

[neoterran]

yeah, the white ones definately look cool.

[Mars]

Yeah, thanks for the suggestion 

[neoterran]

seriously you should get port 3.1 to use this. Also it would be cool if standalone mods based during or before the great war (INFA) could use these effects too

[Mars]

The response seems mixed... some people don't seem to like this much.

[ShivanSpS]

the prometheus effect is very good, but the ML-16, Avenger ones.... and i didt see the Bashee and disruptor yet...

[Mars]

The Prometheus is the only direct ripoff

I only spent about a half hour doing this, so I wouldn't expect the effects to be all that good, just better than the originals, if you'd like to change around the effects yourself, it's not too hard, have a look at my table and then run with it.

[neoterran]

They're better, or they look more like FS2 as far as not being huge gigantic blobs, but they still keep the color and spirit of the FS1 weapons. I'm a fan.

[Mars]

Thank you. 

I'm still tweaking it on and off, and IMO my current one is better, I'll update the old one soon so people can tell me what direction it went in (in terms of up and down), and we'll see.
