Hey guys.

Is there any way to FRED or make a mod that would reverse the direction of shockwaves? So instead, the shockwave would start from the outside and converge inward.

[Mobius]

I don't think it is possible, expecially with 3D shockwaves(which are unrealistic).

The only way to do it, according to me, is creating a 2D shockwave ani that starts from the outside. You can do it with ANIBUILD...extract all frames of a normal shockwave and invert their order...

But what's the point in having an inverted shockwave?

It's been said before, and I'll say it again. When the hell was FS2 realistic?

An implosion, maybe?

Well the animation of a 3d shockwave can also be reversed.

So? They sometimes slow down the game speed. Old shockwaves were enjoyable.

[Snail]

I like 3d shockwaves so I'm going to use them. STFU!!

[Mobius]

Then enjoy slowed down explosions of superdestroyers.

I don't mind since I have a reasonably powerful computer.

But it doesn't make sense. Less eyecandy, slower game speed. How can you prefer 3D shockwaves?

I'm going to use it AND YOU CAN'T STOP ME!!

If you put it this way...well...I'm forced to write in my signature the contents of yesterday's MSN conversation!

I kind of agree with mobius. 3d shockwaves slow down the computer, and plus I always manage to see them from the side.

[Mobius]

Eh eh...Mr. Snail is scared...

Yes, that's what basically happens.

[Snail]

I was going to say:

Well I don't care about your opinion here, since it's my game on my own computer with my own preferences,

but I know someone would have come here and say something rude, "like oh well we don't ****ing care about your preferences", so I decided not to.

[Mobius]

I was only saying that more than one member could complain a slowed-down game(since you're going to use 3D shockwaves in AIII).

[Unknown Target]

Back on topic please.

[akenbosch]

you could make an implosion 3d/2d shockwave easy. but having a per-ship tick box in "misc moptions" to reverse shockwaves would be neat...

[Cobra]

Because some of us actually have video cards that aren't rubbish.

I'm done now.

[TrashMan]

But wouldn't it have to explode first and then implode?
I mean there's no matter around the ship to be drawn into the center.
Normally, a imposion would just be the ship sucked into (and chrashed/smashed) a center point....kinda like a singularity.

[redsniper]

If you give a shockwave or explosion a negative value in the tables won't it suck stuff towards it rather than blow it away?
